[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)

[edit] your recent edits

 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.

Per WP:COPYRIGHT:
External sites can possibly violate copyright. Linking to copyrighted works is usually not a problem, as long as you have made a reasonable effort to determine that the page in question is not violating someone else's copyright. If it is, please do not link to the page. Knowingly and intentionally directing others to a site that violates copyright has been considered a form of contributory infringement in the United States (Intellectual Reserve v. Utah Lighthouse Ministry). Also, linking to a page that illegally distributes someone else's work sheds a bad light on Wikipedia and its editors. If the site in question is making fair use of the material, linking is fine.

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)

[edit] Thank you! (Talk:Totally spies)

I had to respond to someone in paragraph 12...he insulted totally spies fans on "we're childlike, potheads or losers". Thanks for removing that nonsense and let's keep the page on-topic. Also an idiot anon IP thinks he's in the storyboard said he/she knew where Alex is from (Peru? Paraguay? Uruguay?), or where some of the spies' character design is based on. I wouldn't know that Sam looks like Alyssa Milano, or Clover looks like Cameron Diaz, whoever the animators got the idea to draw the spies. It's pointless to say Totally Spies is an "American" manga or it's French or Japanese, regardless the animation isn't in Japan. Totally spies is an original and give it respect by keeping the information accurate. Can't wait for the movie to come out soon. 63.3.14.1 17:33, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] One Question

Why do you refer to yourself in the third person on your user page? Oh, and thanks a lot for helping with the Sonic the Hedgehog page (esp helping to keep Chao under wraps.) I'm thinking about adding you to my friends list. Would you mind if I did? DeathGodDragon EDGE 21:14, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

This is because I wrote my userpage as if it were a Wikipedia article XD. You'd be better off adding me to a messenger list or something but do what you like :) GrandMasterGalvatron 21:22, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

Ok. Thanks a lot! DeathGodDragon EDGE 21:26, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Burning Blaze

I really don't think that the image is needed at all. Yes, it illustrates Burning Blaze, but it's a paragraph's worth of content. I don't believe that this qualifies as enough "critical commentary" per WP:FUC to justify the fair use claim. In any case, I'd just rather wait until we get official artwork, because that image from the DS is just really, really bad. Hbdragon88 01:17, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

That's just the thing. We may never get official artwork and then we're left pictureless which is just plain no good. In the situation we have here, the image is fine as is, unless a better quality version can be made. IF official artwork is released (which I severely doubt) than that can be uploaded in the place of it.GrandMasterGalvatron 02:17, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

Well, I'm for removing images and only including them when necessary...but never mind that. I do have a good camera, so let me pull up a FAQ and finally beat that damn game (I got too frustrated in the final battle), and let me try to take a better copy. Hbdragon88 21:53, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

Very well. I was actually up for the suggestion of getting a really good fan rendered image up there (I could make one of near Sonic Channel quality), but I'm not certain of Wikipedia's policy on something like that.GrandMasterGalvatron

[edit] Thanks for the links

Thanks much, I'll nose around in them ;) And yeah, as soon as I entered that on Silver's page I knew it was a mistake... :( Thanks again :) --Zikar 17:21, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Ummm...

Mt 1994 seems to be really pissed. Do you think that we were wrong jumping on him for his super transformation level 2 theory the way we did? DeathGodDragon EDGE 00:07, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

No. We told him it wasn't true (and calmly I might add) and he didn't want to accept it. Things like what he added REALLY hurt in the peer review. I really want this to get GA status and that sometimes means people have to take their speculation elsewhere XDGrandMasterGalvatron 00:48, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

Well, I can't help but feel guilty. DeathGodDragon EDGE 21:44, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
