Talk:Sonic the Hedgehog (character)/Archive 1

message: 150px|Sonic, in a promotional image for the first Sonic the Hedgehog game. Artwork by Akira Watanabe.
*Keep - top of page, where it has been for most of the time. This picture has kinda always represented what Sonic is, to me; cool, easy-going, and certainly not TOO over-the-top. --Shadow Hog 23:15, 22 July 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: Image 1 (Verdict: Keep)

message: 180px|A promotional image of Sonic from the more recent Sonic Heroes.
*Delete. I hate this picture - maybe it's all the reverting I've been doing to keep it down where it had been, but then again, this picture has Sonic with a VERY stupid grin, is nothing but a measly 3D render (whatever happened to the days where an actual PICTURE was what went on game boxes?), is a ridiculous pose to say the least, and has Sonic looking VERY off-model. I shan't say as I'll be sad to see it gone, if it goes. --Shadow Hog 23:15, 22 July 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: Image 2 (Verdict: Keep)

message: Sonic from Sonic X
*Keep - unlike the Heroes picture, this one never really bothered me. It always kinda felt like a compromise between the new and the old, kinda like the Gems Collection picture mentioned above. --Shadow Hog 23:15, 22 July 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: Image 3 (Verdict: Tie...)

*Remove Not representative of how most people think of Sonic.  -- Norvy (talk) 03:08, 23 July 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Honestly, I'm not sure. If you want to start a vote/discussion on it, though, go right ahead. I'm not particularly tied to that pic, so I won't mind if it stays or goes. --Shadow Hog 04:21, 7 August 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: Image 4 (Verdict: Remove)

message: Now that we've determined both said images should stay, then comes the matter of which should be on top. I personally want the Classic one on top... thoughts? --Shadow Hog 00:21, 3 August 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I still think that they can both live together at the top side by side:    -- Norvy (talk) 03:29, 3 August 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: No, that's too crowded. I think the classic Akira Watanabe image should stay at the top, while the newer Heroes image should appear further down - perhaps at the top of the Games:Story section? Some images of Sonic's appearance in other versions may be useful, such as the DiC cartoons (which are quite different to any other version) and, of course, the Fleetway Sonic the Comic (any excuse to get some Richard Elson art on the site)! :)--Nick R 00:41, 11 August 2005 (UTC)

message: After the Template:Megaman and the Template:FinalFantasy series, anything is possible. So I made two templates, one with characters and one with games. Can you clean this up(and make one with the toons and comics)? igordebraga ≠ 00:09, 16 August 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  Templates 

message: Is it really necessary to list Kanemaru and Griffith as VAs who voiced Sonic in "other" shows? It makes little sense to list them again, as they are mentioned before. That kind of defies what the word "other" is all about. Wouldn't it make more sense to list each voice actor only once and specify which version(s) he worked on? Dirk Amoeba
:They're mentioned before, but in the context of the games, not the shows. However if you're willing to rewrite the entire section to make it so each VA is only covered once, be my guest, so long as the result isn't too cluttered.

message: "An alternative explanation was given in a promotional comic for the original game featured in Disney Adventures, which was later elaborated upon in Mike Pattenden's Stay Sonic, a book about the character published only in the UK. This later became the basic origin for all subsequent UK publications."
This alternative explanation isn't documented in this article?
:It's explained in the "origins" section. --Jtalledo (talk) 21:48, 13 October 2005 (UTC)

message: i don't think we really need it there?
:because if there is, then tehre should be one for each character and everthing relating to Sonic's world,
:Trivia is only for articles that is one...really hard to explain:D
:Like trivia shoul be for a whole atricle

replies: text: If there is trivia regarding other characters, you're free to add it to their pages. This is the page for Sonic the character, not the Sonic series, so trivia specific to this character does belong here. --Darksasami 22:30, 11 November 2005 (UTC)
