message: Sonics article says that he was created by, the Evolution of the Sonic Universe page states that he was a submition from a contest looking for the next big SEGA star.  So where did Sonic really come from, and who is his original creator??
:Oshimi Naoto, I think is his name.  He was the one who sent in the submission for the character thing.
:The original designer of the character was Naoto Oshima. The contest was internal and limited to Sega employees, and was not open to the public. --Guess Who 04:58, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  What? 

message: (NOTE: This section title was changed. It was originally ""SONIC IS A BLUE, MALE, HUMANOID, ANTHROPOMORPHIC, GLOVED, UPRIGHT-STANDING, FOOTED, BREATHING, LIVING, FICTIONAL, TEENAGE HEDGEHOG."".)
Listen you idiots, I'm sick of this. Stop editing this into his description. As if what Sonic is isn't already extremely obvious to anyone who sees his picture or even reads the fucking name of this article, you people deem it completely necessary to list an endless amount of redundant terms to describe him to people, like him being "blue", "anthropomorphic", "male" and "humanoid". YES, WE GET IT. HE'S AN ANTHRO HEDGEHOG, SHUT THE HELL UP. The fact that somebody always edits these redundant and idiotic descriptions back into the article makes me think that this page is exclusively edited only by stupid, horny furries.

thread_title:  3d 

message: It strikes me that when people search for Sonic the Hedgehog, they are either looking for the character or the series.  I purpose we change one of these to Sonic the Hedgehog (with nothing in parenthesis).  Of course, this would require a massive change in many articles.  We could still keep the information on the current Sonic the Hedgehog article, but it would be renamed Sonic the Hedgehog (disambiguation).  Any thoughts on this?  Has anybody suggested this before?  Is it at all doable, or am I just being silly?
This idea is discussed under the same heading on Talk:Sonic the Hedgehog. Joiz A. Shmo 03:37, 29 September 2007 (UTC)

message: Do we really need the mascot rivalry section added in Sonic's character section? I mean we know that he and Mario were once rivals but I feel as though the "Mascot Rivalry" part is kind of unnecessary and sounds kind a bit fanboyish (no offense to the person who put this). Also, I find the term "visualize" inaccurate. Also, It's a little pointless to have a mascot rivalry thing if you are only refering to just one mascot (Mario). It would help if you add in other of Sonic's rival franchises such as Crash Bandicoot, etc. Thank You! - B.J.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.247.23.167 (talk) 01:26, 13 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Just remember that Mario and Sonic are going to meet in two games (Super Smash Bros Brawl and Sonic and Mario at the Olympics), within the next 6 months. They are meeting, and if you look back into the promotional video for Starfox 64, you can see a Sega Employee attempting to destroy a Mario doll. The Mascot Rivalry is real.

message: The following was posted in Talk:Knuckles_the_Echidna before being moved here:
::I am skeptical about why they would prefer to put fan input into their character descriptions. Some portions, like "Sonic's creators, programmer Yuji Naka and designer Naoto Ohshima, were rocketed to stardom along with SEGA as a company and none have looked back since."leave me to believe it's more "fan input" than usual because most official sites don't list background information as "character concept and creation" info. And for one thing, Knuckles never earned a reputation to being a "strongest sonic character" (especially for having knuckles the size of doritos) there's the account of shadow, big, and other such characters who's strengths are practically equal, and it's mainly lifting strength rather than the amount of power they have in one punch (and I dont recall any evidence of him lifting objects times his own size.) Plus there's this tid bit "The ongoing conflict between Knuckles and Sonic in games, comics and TV shows has led to some of the most clichéd scenes of the series, in which their petty bickering quickly turns to fisticuffs. Fortunately for their friendship, they are always interrupted (thus it is never revealed which is the more powerful of the two). If they WORK for sega and know at least anything about what sonic team has done for the franchise, then why would they say "it is never revealed" when they can EASILY reveal it themselves?." Along with the information about Blaze the cat seems like they have no clue as to what they are talking about. For the most part, they dont explain whether or not Blaze is from the future or another dimension and sounds as if they made educated guesses about her being queen to princess then shift to friends/not friends with Silver. It's hardly plausible. Then this "Though Tails is a male character, there have always been rumours among fans that he is in fact female." There hasn't been a single rumor like that.--Neofcon (talk) 18:47, 25 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I was going to bring this up but you beat me to it: Sonic City's bios are a little odd. It seems more like they were either written by a fan or someone who went to Wikipedia and the fan forums for info than like they came from official Sonic Team info. That "Tails is a girl" rumor (which has been posted – and deleted - several times on Tails's page is not something that really promotes the character, the Sonic series, or Sega in particular, in any way. Normally I say that the absolute best sources are from Sega, but this is making me question that. Perhaps Sega of Europe is that far removed from Sonic Team that they are out of the loop - I don't know. (But your arguement about Knuckles's strength has holes since he has shown strength to lift things several times his size - in SA2 Meteor Herd, he smashes around massive rocks that are numerous times his size like he was in a home run derby; and in Battle he pulls a rock out of the ground twice his size in one special attack --actually it's Shadow that has never shown strength on par with any power character - overturning trucks 'with effort' is not the same as lifting them above his head) Cigraphix (talk) 01:02, 26 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: He's punching meteors, not lifting them (though it is a gameplay element, along with him pulling boulders out of the ground so I hardly doubt thats official) but yeah, Europe isn't really trying to provide factual info we don't already know and seems reliant on fan input for everything (they actually list cheats on video games as "trivia" for god knows what.)--Neofcon (talk) 01:14, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Is Sonic City (http://www.sonic-city.com) a reliable source? 

message: Feel free to move this to the series pages but the information about Sonic being in Brawl is already well known. But people feel the need to keep restating this fact through multiple edits. The screen shot of him being in brawl is constantly being placed in the "cameos section" and people keep describing his abilities being shown in brawl when they aren't official abilities. There are also vandals spreading false info of other sonic characters appearing in the game alongside sonic along with sonic's final smash being posted on the main series page CONSISTENTLY! I know people are excited, I know people can't wait, but none of this excuses the over excessive amount of information being posted disregarding what the article's and their sections are about.--Neofcon (talk) 03:43, 13 December 2007 (UTC)
