[edit] Is Billy Hatcher a Sonic Character?

Because after all Sonic and some of his friends appear in the game. --Coconutfred73 06:02, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

Yes.Nukleoptra 11:55, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

It would seem Billy, Rolly, Chick and Bantam were transported from Sonic's version of Earth to Morning Land. But they obviously don't live anywhere near Station Square, else they'd already know Sonic, Tails, Knuckles and the Chao. Digifiend

It's just cameos. They are no more in the same universe as Link and Mario, even after Smash Bros. 75.86.170.18 00:32, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

Yeah. They're just cameos. BHATGE has no effect on the Sonic universe.SLJCOAAATR 1 (talk) 00:28, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:BillyHatcherCover.jpg

Image:BillyHatcherCover.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 01:08, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Rewrite

I shortened the story and re-worded it, as was requested (though not asked to me specifically). I think that its improved a bit now.(ApostleJoe (talk) 19:32, 7 January 2008 (UTC))

Most of this article including the character and sonic eggs section is written as if it is advertising the game and seems to be written in a in universe style, this is an encyclopedia please see What Wikipedia is not. I suggest we put a banner above those sections alerting everyone to discuss how to rewrite these sections of the article, I'd put the banner up myself but I don't know how to!--Lerdthenerd (talk) 16:19, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
