[edit] Revert to Sonic the Hedgehog (character)
In regards to your recent revert, you might want to know why the article is not yet a feature article. Those changes I made were to solve some of the issues raised there, in particular, that the article should be written from an out-of-universe perspective; they were not vandalism. If you want to reply to me personally, please do so on my talk page under the heading Re:Revert to Sonic the Hedgehog (character). Thanks! --DavidHOzAu 10:32, 22 September 2006 (UTC)
- Very well. However, since the cartoon and Fleewtay version don't have an article, perhaps they should be mentioned on this page or given articles of their own? Grandmastergalvatron 14:25, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

- I agree, Sonic's representation in Sonic the Comic has been burning for his own article for a while, but I can't help but think that the new article would be sort of small and disjointed for a while. (Only the British seem to know much about the comic, and there isn't that much information there to go off anyway.) Another option would be to propose a move of Sonic the Hedgehog (Archie character) to Sonic the Hedgehog (character in spin off media) where all differences can be discussed; however it might be a bit big and I'm not sure everyone would like the size it could reach. :( If and when we do make a new article for the information, we can put it a nice summary section
- Copying and pasting removed sections to the article talk page is probably our best idea for now though. It's just important to keep some sort of summary section in there somewhere; alternate versions seems to be a good place for that now. Whatever we do, I keeping it in the video game character article has probably contributed a bit of undue weight for some time now. To be honest, I've been meaning to fix this for a while, I just haven't gotten around to it yet. ;) --DavidHOzAu 07:31, 23 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] FOOLED!!!!!!!!!
You shouldn't call them reatards. They got that stuff from a ZenkaiKenny re-dub on Youtube (that I saw too). They didn't know him for sure an didn't know Silver's real name. They were fooled and it's wrong to call them retards just because they fell victim to comedy re-dubs and didn't know Silver very well. SoundPound500000 November 7, 2006 3:30
- Actually...I was referring to vandals ^^'...someone replaced Silver's name with "Cracka".
The only times I will ever call anyone a retard here will be those who blatantly vandalize pages :)GrandMasterGalvatron 22:03, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Friends!
I've just added you to my friends list, as I've enjoyed my conversations with you. Here's hoping that things don't turn ugly! :) --Luigifan 00:28, 8 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Re: Sonic template
I posted this on the talk page, but it seems to have been abandoned. I would say that the changes you made to the templates, although in good faith, actually do more harm than help. While the old template was kinda large, it was far more functional than what we have now. It's simply too much of an inconvenience for the reader to switch from a character like Amy to a character like Manic. (that's coming from someone who does that frequently as a part of article maintenance. Although I'm tempted to just revert the thing, I don't think that'd be right considering the effort put into it. I would like to see if we can reached some sort of consensus in order to enable the reader to flawlessly switch between characters of all universes as they please. Also, the template as it is now, supports "Sega Sonic" bias which should never be allowed here as it's just plain fancruft. GrandMasterGalvatron 14:45, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
- When a template or an article becomes excessively large, it is convention to split them into separate pages. (see Wikipedia:Article size and Wikipedia:Summary style). Actually, the sheer size of the three Sonic templates, {{Sonic games}}, {{Sonic characters}} and {{Sonic features}}, were highlighted at WT:CVG#Navboxes yet again as being an endemic problem to most CVG-related articles. Besides, all Sonic-related articles that I know of can be navigated from Sonic the Hedgehog series. You see, separating spin offs from the central media is not fancruft in this case: it's common sense. --DavidHOzAu 01:37, 8 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Userpage vandalism
Looks like the admins have it under control. Report vandalism in need of blocks to WP:AIV and request protection of affected pages at WP:RFPP, but the volume here looks low enough that patrollers are taking care of it with reverts. Regards, Dmcdevitยทt 08:51, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

Thank you for contributing to Wikipedia! You recently added an external link to YouTube in an article. It has been removed because the link pointed to a non-encyclopedic source. Please refer to Wikipedia's policy on external links for more information. |
I guess I can only suggest to find another source that meets WP:EL. Youtube videos are almost all copyvios, and unless specifically stated to be released under a license that can be used in wikipedia, they just can't be used for legal reasons. Sorry I can't be more helpful. :/ JoeSmack Talk 18:06, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
