HRWiki:Featured article for 2009, week 41 (Oct 5-11)
For this week, how about trying again to do Teen Girl Squad Issue 13? MHarrington 14:44, 4 August 2009 (UTC)
- Grood idea. We haven't done anything TGS-related ever since...The Ugly One? Yes, we need to do this. free 12:49, 14 August 2009 (UTC)
- Actually, let's have The Stick for this week, and then bump TGS13 up to week 39. That'll better space out the types of articles featured. wbwolf (t | ed) 15:24, 14 August 2009 (UTC)
- Sounds good to me. MHarrington 17:28, 14 August 2009 (UTC)
- The Stick zounds Fine. It sounds finer then fine. It sounds finer than that fine they give you give you on new releases at the videro store.-Espe Pwnage 03:28, 15 August 2009 (UTC)

HRWiki:Featured article for 2009, week 42 (Oct 12-18)
I know I'd probably the last person to propose such a thing, but how about a week of DVD exclusive toons. Real Live E-Mail and Tis True, Pom Pom, Tis True are the only ones of that category that have been featured, and as a class should have a little more attention to them. How about: Greeting Cards, Puppets On The Road, Sample Of Style, Blue Laserdisc Challenge, Accent, Where's The Cheat? (game) and Dangeresque: THREE in 3D. wbwolf (t | ed) 01:33, 7 August 2009 (UTC)
- I know for a fact that we need to to do SOMETHING dailies-related eventually. I never thought of this, though. I guess I'm game. MHarrington 15:44, 7 August 2009 (UTC)
- Can we put 160 Seconds in there? It sounds cool. free 23:26, 9 August 2009 (UTC)
HRWiki:Featured article for 2009, week 42, day 1
Now that it has been tentatively agreed to do weeklies, how about figuring out their order. I propose that we start off with Greeting Cards, the first DVD exclusive Strong Bad Email wbwolf (t | ed) 20:29, 12 August 2009 (UTC)
- Reconfirming order: Day 1 Greeting Cards wbwolf (t | ed)
HRWiki:Featured article for 2009, week 42, day 2
Next would be Puppets On The Road wbwolf (t | ed) 20:29, 12 August 2009 (UTC)
- Yes, we NEED to do something puppet-related. free 20:09, 13 August 2009 (UTC)
- Reconfirming order: Day 2 Sample Of Style wbwolf (t | ed)
HRWiki:Featured article for 2009, week 42, day 3
Sample Of Style A lot of fun with Matt & Mike just goofing around. wbwolf (t | ed) 20:29, 12 August 2009 (UTC)
- Except Puppets On The Road (which is on SBEmail Disc 4) came after Sample of Style (Disc 3), which is on day two, so why don't we switch days with that one here? MHarrington 17:49, 14 August 2009 (UTC)
HRWiki:Featured article for 2009, week 42, day 4
I'm not real happy about Blue Laserdisc Challenge here. I'm not sure if The Limozeen Advantage or Why Come Only One Girl? should be featured due to various issues. Any ideas? wbwolf (t | ed) 20:29, 12 August 2009 (UTC)
- I'd like to see "Why Come...". MHarrington 06:17, 13 August 2009 (UTC)
- I'm not amenable to us drawing any more attention to that article until such a time (if any) that it's unprotected. Heimstern Läufer
19:47, 13 August 2009 (UTC)
- I think Blue Laserdisc Challenge could be made to work; we just need to be a bit creative in our writeup. Heimstern Läufer 19:53, 13 August 2009 (UTC)
- The Limozeen Advantage needs some major cleaning up. Laserdisc is fine with me, though. free 20:09, 13 August 2009 (UTC)
- If we can get Limozeen Advantage cleaned up, we could boot Laserdisc down to the 6 slot. It looks mainly like locations needs to be documented for the article. wbwolf (t | ed) 23:53, 13 August 2009 (UTC)
- I think we should do Blue Laserdisc. MHarrington 14:49, 28 September 2009 (UTC)

Accent for another DVD SBEmail. wbwolf (t | ed) 20:29, 12 August 2009 (UTC)
HRWiki:Featured article for 2009, week 42, day 6
Where's The Cheat? (game) is probably the weakest. 160 Seconds is interesting, but it's kinda on the short side. I'm trying to stick with longer entries. Thoughts? wbwolf (t | ed) 20:29, 12 August 2009 (UTC)
- How about The Limozeen Advantage? We already have something representing SBEmails Disc 5 (on day 5, seen above). MHarrington 17:53, 14 August 2009 (UTC)
- Limozeen Advantage is a fine suggestion. Would it better here or swapped for Blue Laserdisc Challenge on day 4? wbwolf (t | ed) 17:59, 14 August 2009 (UTC)
- It's better here because it's chronologically correct. MHarrington 18:17, 14 August 2009 (UTC)

Finally, round out the week with Dangeresque: THREE in 3D. I know it was only recently released, but a) I'd like to have at least one example from each of the discs (SBEmail 1-3 count as one release) and b) it's probably one of the longest H*R toons overall. wbwolf (t | ed) 20:29, 12 August 2009 (UTC)
- And after all, why not sometimes feature stuff that's very new? Shows how on top of the game we are. Heimstern Läufer 19:51, 13 August 2009 (UTC)
- Sure, we can do that as part of DVD week- but we might want to think about featuring the DVD before doing its exclusives... or maybe doing Dangeresque 3: The Criminal Projective before its spin-offs... but if D3 in 3D is that important to y'alls, I have no problem with featuring it as part of a theme. That Game Dude 386

Almost Halloween! This week is our week to feature something Halloween-related other than a full toon. I was thinking maybe Marshie vs. Little Girl if no one has any better ideas. Heimstern Läufer 
20:03, 13 August 2009 (UTC)
- How about the email ghosts? MHarrington 22:38, 13 August 2009 (UTC)
- Also a good possibility, especially since it will have been a reasonable amount of time since the latest sbemail. Heimstern Läufer 00:14, 14 August 2009 (UTC)
- Have we already done halloweener? If not, that could be a possibility. cash money tc 01:40, 14 August 2009 (UTC)
- We haven't, though I'd prefer ghosts. free 12:50, 14 August 2009 (UTC)
- ghosts sounds good. Nice 'n funny, Bad Graphics Ghost, yeah, it'll work.
- Bad graphics ghost is good... I like it...
- I'm be fine with ghosts; let's save halloweener for now. But, if we don't have the HRWiki Halloween theme up and running for that week, I'd like to nominate Pistols for Pandas (PfP, I'll just say) in reference to our struggling fund-raising drive (and the clever excerpt from it on HRWiki:DO YOU HAS?). While I don't like it when new toons and such are featured too early (like, "within two years" early), I wouldn't mind it in this case. I would have recommended PfP for week 42 but I didn't have the time. —Soiled Bargains (talk|ctrb) 02:43, 12 October 2009 (UTC)

Ween. We usually feature a full-length Halloween toon this week. We've already featured Pumpkin Carve-nival, Homestarloween Party and Halloween Potion-ma-jig, so let's think of a different one. Heimstern Läufer 20:03, 13 August 2009 (UTC)
- How about The House That Gave Sucky Treats, my personal favorite. Though I'm not sure how much that matters when choosing FAs... free 20:09, 13 August 2009 (UTC)
- There are definitely some reasons this toon is noteworthy; for example, it was the first interactive Halloween toon, and it established the trend of Homsar as a secret character in H'ween toons. Also was the last one to feature voting on costumes, and had a sort of addendum released five years later. All told, I think this'd make a good FA. Heimstern Läufer 20:32, 13 August 2009 (UTC)
- Sorry if it seems like I'm being hasty and dismissing your ideas (don't get me wrong, Sucky Treats looks like a good one), but what about Jibblies 2? That's a good one, too. A lot of people really like that one. The plot is intense, the characters are off the wall here and it's great. "Sucky Treats", however, doesn't really have much to write up on, short of just the characters coming to the house in question and maybe Homsar being introduced in the Halloween toons here. MHarrington 22:36, 13 August 2009 (UTC)
- That's also a good one. Either one could make a fine FA, though Sucky Treats is more historic, and I don't agree that there'd be a problem with writing it up. So, let's hear from others about what we should feature. Heimstern Läufer 23:20, 13 August 2009 (UTC)
- I'm kinda leaning towards Sucky Treats, myself. A very pivotal and important toon for many reasons. wbwolf (t | ed) 00:01, 14 August 2009 (UTC)
- Sucky Treats. -Espemon333
- Hey, Espemon. Just to let you know, this isn't really a vote, but a discussion. For that reason, it's important to give a reason for your opinion. Thanks. Heimstern Läufer 01:29, 14 August 2009 (UTC)
- Oh, well in that case, Sucky Treats is the (don't quote me on this) first interactive Halloween cartoon, and the one of the ones where you can vote, plus the first appearance of the coolest character in the Homestar Runner Universe in a Halloween Cartoon, HOMSAR!!!!!!!!!!!
- Actually, Homsar first appeared in the homsar email. Sorry, just making a little observation there. MHarrington 14:40, 15 August 2009 (UTC)
- Oops. I meant in a Halloween Cartoon. Sorry. -Espe Pwnage 16:08, 15 August 2009 (UTC)
- Actually, Sucky Treats is the first one where he stops making sense, he talked normally in MAM 5.0 and homsar. free 19:13, 15 August 2009 (UTC)
- my vote is for 3 Times Halloween Funjob because it was in my oppinion the best! Plus it holds the record for the most easter eggs--safariventureman 00:50, 6 October 2009 (UTC)
- So... what is the current consensus? It seems all over the place at this point...
Espemon333 00:34, 19 October 2009 (UTC)
- I think most of the people here want to do The House That Gave Sucky Treats. MHarrington 16:10, 19 October 2009 (UTC)
