HRWiki:Featured article for 2010, week 18 (May 3-9)
Since it's been a while since our last set of dailies, how about Dangeresque characters, as MHarrington has previously suggested? Heimstern Läufer 07:43, 22 February 2010 (UTC)
- Good idea. But I have two other daily ideas:
- Stuff in Old Flash Stuff (we can start off with Old Flash Stuff, then do six of the nine items in OFS. I'm wondering which three items will have to miss out; those three will probably need to be the three most important ones so they can have their own week.)
- Main Pages (we can do six main Main Pages, then one of the secret ones. Sometime in the future, we will probably do three more MP dailies in this format. However, this means that one MP will get a week to itself; as Main Page 22 seems to be the most important Main Page, it will probably be the one.)
- RickTommy 11:40, 22 February 2010 (UTC)
- Are you suggesting these ideas for this week or just sometime in the future? If the former, I really think the Dangeresque ones should take priority since they were suggested a while ago. Heimstern Läufer
11:45, 22 February 2010 (UTC)
- If we're going to do the Dangeresque characters for a dailies set, how about this (as per what has been said repeatedly):
- Monday: Dangeresque
- Tuesday: Dangeresque Too
- Wednesday: Renaldo
- Thursday: Cutesy Buttons
- Friday: Perducci
- Saturday: Killingyouguy
- Sunday: Baron Darin Diamonocle
- That seems a bit solid, don't you think? MHarrington 03:08, 25 February 2010 (UTC)
- Yes, but maybe with one of them replaced with The Stunt Double. RickTommy talk
08:22, 19 March 2010 (UTC)
- No, I think it's pretty solid how it is right now. MHarrington 05:11, 29 March 2010 (UTC)
- I would really like to have Sultry Buttons included. She's an easily overlooked character because she's only in SBCG4AP (though she plays a critical role in it), and I think it's good for us to emphasize these lesser-known ones. And no, I don't think she should be substituted for Cutesy, as including them both (preferably consecutively, even) emphasizes the unclear relationship between the two. Heimstern Läufer
07:35, 29 March 2010 (UTC)
- What if we fleetingly mentioned Sultry in Cutesy's article? MHarrington 05:20, 1 April 2010 (UTC)
- I think the list we have now is fine! But we should stick with the characters in the toons and the games.So I say no Sultry Buttons Rondleman!
Stuff I did.Talk. 18:43, 5 April 2010 (UTC)
- And I say otherwise. The very interest of Sultry Buttons is eliminated if she's but a footnote in Cutesy's bio. She deserves a full day on the main page. Heimstern Läufer
10:51, 19 April 2010 (UTC)
- I agree with Heinsterm Fauler. --Essence of Ghost Water 12:36, 19 April 2010 (UTC)
- No way! I'd rather do the Stunt Double, as he's the Dangeresque series' raison d'etre. Anyway, can we move the dailies to next week, and do A Mother's Day Message instead, since it's Mother's Day? RickTommy (edits) 08:55, 20 April 2010 (UTC)
- Please, RickTommy, let's be nicer in how we discuss. It's true, though; we really do have an overabundance of Dangeresque characters. If only we could have a ten-day week at some point in which to do them all.
- If we move this ahead a week, we'd be shoving Huudge or Sterrance off the list until later. Since there's no real consensus there, that could be done, but I'm not too sure we should. I also think we've been trying a little too hard of late to have seasonally themed FAs and that we could lighten up on that a bit. Heimstern Läufer

- First off: while celebrating Mother's day is not a bad idea, I think we're more invested in taking the Dangeresque route and since it's coming up soon, we should finalize preparations for those dailies. We can always feature A Mother's Day Message next week (even if it's a day late) or shelve it till next year since we only have one Mother's day toon to feature and we celebrate Mother's day every year.
- Now, on to Dangeresque: I think the current proposed order is pretty good. However, given the importance of both Sultry Buttons and Cutesy Buttons, why not feature them both on the same day? It's the perfect place to lampshade the ambiguity between the two characters. Moreover, this could be moved to then end on Sunday as part of a "special daily double feature" :). The lineup would then be as follows:
- Monday: Dangeresque
- Tuesday: Dangeresque Too
- Wednesday: Renaldo
- Thursday: Perducci
- Friday: Killingyouguy
- Saturday: Baron Darin Diamonocle
- Sunday: Cutesy Buttons and Sultry Buttons
- What do you guys think? How does that look? --Stux 17:37, 25 April 2010 (UTC)
- I think we should put the Buttons characters on Thursday and push the other characters down by one day. And we should focus primarily on Cutesy, though we could fleetingly mention Sultry in the description. MHarrington 20:01, 25 April 2010 (UTC)
- Why do you so insist on a fleeting mention of Sultry? Are you listening to anyone else's ideas at all? Incidentally, though I hadn't thought of it until Stux mentioned it, the idea of simultaneous featured articles is not unprecedented: On the day of the 2008 US Presidential Election, Wikipedia featured both Barack Obama and John McCain (and even randomized the order so as not to give preference to one or the other). I think that'd be an interesting idea to pursue. Heimstern Läufer
23:33, 25 April 2010 (UTC)
- That's a great idea, Heimstern. But again, what about the Stunt Double? RickTommy (edits) 02:43, 26 April 2010 (UTC)
- The Stunt Double is indeed important to the origins of the Dangeresque franchise, but his article is a tad shorter than most. More important is the reason it's shorter: He's not really much of a character. Him showing up to get beaten up, smashed, even diamond'd is funny, but doesn't leave much character for him. That's why, unless we're able to extend this week by adding Whackday, Spleenday, Rootenskahootenday and Schnozday (which would actually be a fun idea), I would prefer to exclude the Stunt Double in favour of the others above. Heimstern Läufer
08:14, 26 April 2010 (UTC)
- It seems like we have more than double the number of Dangeresque characters than we have days in the week. Would it be so crazy for completion's sake to do TWO weeks worth of these dailies, lumping together a few sets of characters to make them all fit into 14 days and shift all the suggestions for the following weeks down by one? — Defender1031*Talk 09:43, 26 April 2010 (UTC)
- And now, I choose to recite a list:
- — Defender1031*Talk 10:34, 26 April 2010 (UTC)
- I think some are too short to merit an article appearance. And I think it's fine just to do a week of all the main characters. This is why I think Cutesy should be the main point of one article and Sultry could appear in Cutesy's article. Sultry only appeared in Dangeresque 3, whereas Cutesy appeared more often. This is why I've thought that Sultry should appear only fleetingly, if at all. I think we should still do the week idea I've thought of earlier. MHarrington 20:11, 27 April 2010 (UTC)
- I really like Heimstern's idea of extending the week with several fake days. But the "two whole weeks" idea is pretty good too. nova scotia 20:35, 27 April 2010 (UTC)
- Oh, these ARE fake days... I figure we call the second sunday "twelvesday", monday "flinglesday", tuesday... alright seriously... MHarrington, I don't appreciate being summarily shot down. How about keeping an open mind to other people's ideas? Further, part of the point of doing dailies is to cover shorter articles that work as part of a group, but wouldn't merit a whole week to themselves. — Defender1031*Talk 20:42, 27 April 2010 (UTC)
- The Rootenskahootenday idea wasn't mine, incidentally. I got that from DorianGray, who I think told me he got it from some commercial or something. Given that it's not practical, though, I'm going to support Deffy's suggestion. I really think we have too many characters for a single week. MHarrington, I know you're convinced of giving Sultry but a fleeting mention, but I've already expressed my own disagreement, and I'm clearly not the only one who wants additional characters covered. I agree with Deffy that you should listen more to what others are interested in, as you seem single-mindedly focused on doing it how you want to. Some of the characters on the list are in fact too short, even for a daily feature, which is why we've suggested the doubleheader idea. I know, this is new, but if we never try new things, we'll never get any innovation. (Note: I may want to tweak the list a little, but I'm basically supportive of the idea.) Heimstern Läufer
23:28, 27 April 2010 (UTC)
- I'm really liking Deffy's two-week daily double-header idea. I hadn't realized Dangeresque's character ensemble was so rich and varied. Since we can't fit all the characters into one week, this would be the perfect way to showcase them :). A few things: even though I haven't played the game, Sultry's article has just as much content as Cutesy's and so it seems that they are of relatively equal importance; therefore, I'd certainly would like to see them featured separately. The feature order could be tweaked a little too: 'major' characters should be spread across the two weeks a little more. We don't want to clump all the minor characters to the end of the 2nd week. Other than that, I like it! It looks good! I'm geeked! :) Now to bed, tomorrow's another long work day :S Good night everybody! --Stux 03:32, 28 April 2010 (UTC)
- I agree with what Stux said. If we went with two whole weeks, we would have to work out who should go where, since we don't want to crowd all the major characters on one said and the minor on the other. Plus, we'd be doing some things we've never done before, like having more than one article in one day. MHarrington 17:49, 28 April 2010 (UTC)
- You do realize Stux said he's in support of the two weeks idea, right? Heimstern Läufer

- Outdenting to get back to talking about the list and suggest a tweak: I think both Uzi Bazooka and Diamonocle could sustain their own days, whereas I'm not so sure The Informant can. How about combining him with The Monster and giving Uzi and Diamonocle their own days? Heimstern Läufer
23:41, 28 April 2010 (UTC)
- Maybe we could do that. I think we should definitely show Diamonocle first, then Uzi. Actually, I just don't think we should be doing two whole weeks worth of characters, at least not all at once. It would probably get real old real fast for some people out there. MHarrington 06:50, 29 April 2010 (UTC)
- I agree with Stux and Heim. I pretty much threw that list together real quick to give a vague idea of how it could be done. I support any tweaks to it that will make it better. Squish it, (danger)skew it, turn it all around for all I care. — Defender1031*Talk 08:37, 29 April 2010 (UTC)
- MHarrington, I do understand your concerns about it getting a little old, and I don't think we should do this often. But in this case, I think it's merited as a compromise between various people wanting certain characters featured and as a recognition that we've got lots to choose from, and it hardly seems fair to give some of them the shaft (and it's unlikely we'll ever feature any more Dangeresque characters after this, so for each one, it's now or never, pretty much). I do think we should probably not do this again, or if we do, not for a very long time. Heimstern Läufer

- Oh man, with
3240 comments (not counting this one), this has turned out to be thesecond-longest discussion for a particular week in FA. RickTommy (edits) 00:13, 30 April 2010 (UTC)- I don't think that that has to do with anything in this discussion. If anything, it shows that the wiki is getting more involved in things like this. Anydangway, my two cents. I think that The Informant And The Monster should come immediately after Hot Tub and The Stunt Double, Since they're all played by Double S. StrongAwesome

- Guys: splitting the suggestions up would be problematic. It would be best to arrive at a single list first then go with that list. We can use the links below to then write the articles. One thing's for sure, Dangeresque (character) will be featured first, but I'd like to balance things out a little bit among the two weeks. I will submit a formal list shortly. --Stux 01:19, 1 May 2010 (UTC)
- Okay, so here is my suggested order:
- Click here to see. I tried to balance primary characters with minor characters and I also added the missing character from the {{Dangeresque}} template (The Chief). Also, I made a subsection of the list so that we just have one list and we move things around in-place (within reason) without having a plethora of lists. Suggestions for moves can continue on this thread. I'd say that the list should be finalized no later than tomorrow evening. Though the sooner, the better. We can start making writeups on a separate section within this thread or their target week templates since we can just move the text around. The text should only be moved when we're ready to publish though. --Stux 02:09, 1 May 2010 (UTC)
- Okay, so here is my suggested order:
2-week FAS order
- Dangeresque - this one is 99% set in stone
- Renaldo
- Killingyouguy
- Cutesy Buttons
- The Chief and Uzi Bazooka
- Perducci
- Hot Tub and The Stunt Double
- Dangeresque Too (to start off "week too")
- The Informant and The Monster
- Professor Experimento
- Sultry Buttons
- Szechuan Steve and Craig
- Dadgeresque and Kidnapping Victim
- Baron Darin Diamonocle
- This seems about right to me. Renaldo second as the traditional sidekick (after all, Dangeresque Too didn't appear until the second installment in the franchise), then mix up some major and minor characters. Dangeresque Too to start Week Too is a nice touch, too. Heimstern Läufer

- Sort of, but, as you know, he's talking about the order in which they were written and released, which is what's important. — It's dot com 05:01, 1 May 2010 (UTC)
- I'm currently working on the first week, but where there are two things in one day, I'm only doing one. Maybe someone else can help with the other one. MHarrington 06:25, 1 May 2010 (UTC)

- Okay, all 14 days have some sort of articles. Please proofread and/or improve format as needed. Save for one change I may make (regarding S. Sad's ordering) there should be no more changes to ordering unless there's a pressing reason. We're almost good to go! Thanks MHarrington for writing the first few! They served as a great template since these are some of the first FAs (if not the first) I've written. --Stux 20:16, 2 May 2010 (UTC)

Cutesy Buttons, just to cover the 4 main characters (in my opinion) first. StrongAwesome 19:25, 30 April 2010 (UTC)

How about a Limozeen character - Larry, perhaps? RickTommy 07:09, 8 March 2010 (UTC)
- It's been, like, nine or ten weeks since the best thing email was articled, so I don't know. MHarrington 07:37, 9 March 2010 (UTC)

How about Da Huuuuuudge? PowerPie
- How about Sterrance instead? RickTommy (edits) 11:16, 19 April 2010 (UTC)
- Please discuss; don't just throw out ideas without discussing what others have already said. Heimstern Läufer
11:19, 19 April 2010 (UTC)
- Da Huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuudge is a better choice than Sterrance. --Essence of Ghost Water 12:22, 19 April 2010 (UTC)
- Umm, Sterrance is much more important, as he (?) has appeared in more than twice as many toons as Da Huuuuuuuudge has. RickTommy (edits) 08:55, 20 April 2010 (UTC)
- I'm down with Da Huuuuuudge, it's slightly off-beat which is cool and emphasizes TBC's weird humor. --Stux 18:22, 25 April 2010 (UTC)
- I think we should do Sterrance first before we do Da Huuuuuuuudge. We should do both soon, though. MHarrington 20:07, 25 April 2010 (UTC)
- Reasons why, everyone. So far, I've only seen reasons from RickTommy and Stux. This is not discussion; it's turning into the town meeting from unnatural. (And yes, I do think we should kill it.) Heimstern Läufer

- Sterrance, because it was the one SB claimed to have gotten right. And it appeared more often than Da Huuuuuuuudge. MHarrington 06:42, 26 April 2010 (UTC)
- Reasons why, everyone. So far, I've only seen reasons from RickTommy and Stux. This is not discussion; it's turning into the town meeting from unnatural. (And yes, I do think we should kill it.) Heimstern Läufer
- I think we should do Sterrance first before we do Da Huuuuuuuudge. We should do both soon, though. MHarrington 20:07, 25 April 2010 (UTC)
- I'm down with Da Huuuuuudge, it's slightly off-beat which is cool and emphasizes TBC's weird humor. --Stux 18:22, 25 April 2010 (UTC)
- Umm, Sterrance is much more important, as he (?) has appeared in more than twice as many toons as Da Huuuuuuuudge has. RickTommy (edits) 08:55, 20 April 2010 (UTC)
- Da Huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuudge is a better choice than Sterrance. --Essence of Ghost Water 12:22, 19 April 2010 (UTC)
- Please discuss; don't just throw out ideas without discussing what others have already said. Heimstern Läufer
- Per the above discussion, this week's discussion has been shelved. Please continue regular discussion for the following weeks. Thanks!
- Actually, let me take this opportunity to ask: what should we do for the following weeks? Simply skip the suggestions made for this week or push everything down 1 week? (Or maybe even push everything down until this point since no solid discussion has emerged that week? --Stux 01:19, 1 May 2010 (UTC)
HRWiki:Featured article for 2010, week 20 (May 17-23)
Five years since the first featured article! Maybe we should do something special to mark the occasion? RickTommy 07:09, 8 March 2010 (UTC)
- Sorry, I can't really think of anything. MHarrington 05:12, 29 March 2010 (UTC)
- I was thinking maybe Index Page, the most imprtant page on the site (not really, but it's often the first page that one looks at on the site), or an early toon like Pom Pom Too, or one of the earliest articles to be suggested as a featured article: Schenactady Crispies, or, as has been mentioned a couple of times not long ago: homestarrunner.com. RickTommy (edits) 00:13, 2 April 2010 (UTC)
- I don't know. MHarrington 18:58, 3 April 2010 (UTC)
- So, the new main page did not appear until May 23, 2005 which was the first day of week 21 on 2005 (see ISO_week_date). I see that this year that date falls on Week 20 (after getting this wrong a couple of times). If it's that important, we can just re-feature Homestar Runner as a one-time retro-feauture with a short and subtle 1-line message saying that we've been doing 5 years of FAs. For some reason I feel it would be nice to do this on week 21 rather than week 20 (and match the week numbers). Otherwise, I think we should really treat this like any other FA week. Looking at the oft-ignored nominations page I see that we have never featured Parsnips A-Plenty and it might be due for a feature. --Stux 18:14, 25 April 2010 (UTC)
- I suggest Museum. It just seem fitting for 5 years, I guess it's the title. nova scotia 20:45, 27 April 2010 (UTC)
- Look before you leap. Museum has been featured already. StrongAwesome

Missy Palmer? RickTommy talk 01:52, 22 March 2010 (UTC)
- Missy Palmer's important to H*R, but that article's seriously lacking in content. At present, it wouldn't work for a weeklong feature. Heimstern Läufer

HRWiki:Featured article for 2010, week 22 (May 31-Jun 6)
How about a Videlectrix game? We have available: Secret Collect, Rhino Feeder, Thy Dungeonman, Population: Tire, Pigs on Head, Thy Dungeonman 2, 50K Racewalker, Duck Guardian One, and Thy Dungeonman 3. RickTommy talk 01:52, 22 March 2010 (UTC)
- Based on the ones listed here, I would say Population: Tire is probably the best bet. MHarrington 05:10, 29 March 2010 (UTC)
- I'd pick one of the Thy Dungeonman games.
- Either Pop Tire or a Dungeonman game would probably be good choices. Can't decide which I prefer at this point. Heimstern Läufer
08:06, 26 April 2010 (UTC)
- I always thought Retro Gaming Character Variations was an interesting article. But out of the games, I think Thy Dungeonman games have more information. Rondleman!

For this week, how about the jibblies? MHarrington 05:16, 29 March 2010 (UTC)
HRWiki:Featured article for 2010, week 24 (Jun 14-20)
For this week, how about Strong Bad's Computer Malfunctioning? We could have the intro and all the little descriptions after it, sort of like that article on characters lacking certain body parts. MHarrington 18:45, 3 April 2010 (UTC)
HRWiki:Featured article for 2010, week 25 (Jun 21-27)
How about The Reddest Radish? RickTommy (edits) 00:20, 11 April 2010 (UTC)
- While this is (once again) over the limit of ten, there doesn't seem to be a clear consensus in some of the nominations above. Why not contribute your opinion there first instead of adding more weeks? StrongAwesome
00:53, 11 April 2010 (UTC)
I agree with Strong Awesome in that you should discus other things before bringing up something else. On a more related note, I don't really like the idea of featuring Reddish Raddish, but I don't know what we could replace it with. PowerPie
- I came up with something: 404'd. Power
Pie
- Nevermind. That needs expansion. How abut Homestar Ruiner? Power

- If we were to do individual SBCG4AP episodes, they should be done in increments at a time. Instead, might I propose something that had been proposed before, but got bumped off by something else: Sterrance, but not Da Huuuuuuuudge, since the former appeared more often than the latter, and it was the one SB claimed to have gotten right.

Cardboard Marzipan? RickTommy (edits) 10:44, 19 April 2010 (UTC)
- What did the man say to you above? --Essence of Ghost Water 12:20, 19 April 2010 (UTC)
- At this point, we're exactly 10 weeks out, so he's OK this time. Heimstern Läufer
12:21, 19 April 2010 (UTC)
- Oh. Anyhow, Cardboard Mazipan is a good choice. It's certainly better than Cardboard Homestar. --Essence of Ghost Water 12:24, 19 April 2010 (UTC)
- While Heim's right and he's ok within the 10-week limit, RickTommy, why don't you give others a chance to make initial suggestions during the new few FA weeks for a change? There is no need to rush the FA process and you should give others a chance to weigh in their suggestions without them feeling rushed or like they need to follow a specific topic. Thanks. --Stux 18:08, 25 April 2010 (UTC)

Li'l Brudder? RickTommy (edits) 00:06, 3 May 2010 (UTC)
Spotlight hogger. :P
That aside, Lil Brudder is a good idea. PowerPie
HRWiki:Featured article for 2010, week 29 (Jul 19-25)
We usually feature a Sbemail around this time. How about either rock opera, bottom 10, your friends, death metal, or different town? RickTommy (edits) 00:17, 10 May 2010 (UTC)
You know, there's not much consensus on anything else. If you're so eager to get things done, I request you help with the others before you throw something else out.
Yeah, we could do bottom 10. PowerPie
- And we need to keep this list below ten. And let someone else come up with an idea sometimes, please! MHarrington 15:30, 10 May 2010 (UTC)
