Welcome!
Welcome to the wiki! If you have any questions (or want a page deleted), don't hesitate to ask. Have fun editing! Sacre Fi 04:29, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

Hello I am Sonicadventure
Hiya. I just want to say those user subpages really hit the spot. I also put my made up SEGA/Sonic Team video game console, Sonic Adventure 3 on m user page.--Lil&#39; DJ 22:31, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the Deletion Request
Thank you for alerting me to that article. That is definitely the right thing to do, so good job! Keep up the good work :) - 19:27, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

Character Template
Ok, here's the story about that character template. It was an experimental template of mine from early on in the Wiki, when we were simply lurking Wikipedia for articles to copy. The Wikipedia articles always used the Character template, so we decided that we could use one. We (Sacre Fi and I) were messing with it, trying to get it right. It might work now, I'm not sure, but you will still have to edit the Wikipedia box before using one. If you can figure out how to get it to work, then we could use it more. Thanks! 21:06, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

Comments
About Nazo, you could probably merge his article with the article on the game he's from. Yeah, a spoiler warning on the front would most likely be a good idea. 22:32, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

Amnesia
Deleted. Gone. :D 03:00, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

Nomination...
Thanks for nominating me :). If you want, you can put something on the main page, and possibly Angela's talk page. I wouldn't want to do it, because it would make me look like I'm only trying to do it for myself. Thanks! - 02:16, 10 November 2007 (UTC)

Return
I came back because a page on my watchlist was altered. Kind regards. Robin Patterson 04:54, 10 November 2007

Deletion Request Responses (until you become a SysOp)
Done - 23:24, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

Congratulations, SysOp
I've made you a SysOp due to your outstanding contributions and motivation to the Wiki! I have decided to skip the "nomination" phase, because nobody voted except for you in the section =\ Well, congratulations! Now you can help me maintain this place! :) - 18:13, 17 November 2007 (UTC) P.S. nice work on the template!

Sandbox Main Page Layout
Looks awesome! Put it up! My one issue is how huge the poll is, leaving empty space under the Eggman pic. It is still great, though! Post it! 15:31, 22 November 2007 (UTC)

Changing the Front Page Title
I've been gone for a bit too... school is taking up a lot of time. Feel free to edit the main page how you best see fit! 02:30, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

Special:Import?!
Sounds AMAZING!! Lets get to work. Sadly, its midterm week for me, so I'll be busy until the end of January with school stuff! I'll try to get one or two done tonight! Awesome job! :D 02:58, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

RE: MediaWiki:Monaco-related-communities
Hey Ferral. That file controls what shows up in the Related Communites box on the bottom of the sidebar of the new Monaco skin. It's purpose is to link to other Wikia wikis that users at this wiki might be interested in. Feel free to edit the list as you see fit. If you have any other questions, don't hesitate to ask. JoePlay (talk) 21:37, 7 March 2008 (UTC)


 * I don't have any specific numbers, but I'm pretty sure there are a lot of "old school-ers" like you who still use, and will probably always use, Monobook. So, no worries. I was never crazy about Quartz (especially before the Gaming skin was made) since it has the sidebar on the right, but now with Monaco returning the sidebar back to the left side, and keeping the Gaming skin, I'm happy now. =) JoePlay (talk) 19:32, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

Significance
You may remember way back that you welcomed me to the wiki back in November last year. As far as I recall, I don't think I properly responsed.

Anyway, concerning the wiki itself. Experience has taught me that it's best to learn the ropes of a wiki before editing in it and as an administrator on the StarCraft wiki, I know what it's like to deal with vandals and, far more commonly, those who don't really understand the proper procedures. I thought it best to save time and ask such advice before doing so.

Part of this advice I'd like is the nature of articles. Some, such as the list of alien species, are just that; lists. On wikipedia of course, this is all they could get. As a specialised wiki, such articles would generally be able to be split into individual articles. Still, lists can still be found on wikia and stubs can be irritating. I'm sure 1 page cameos on Archie Comic characters for instance would be irritating if current policy were against it.

The second issue is those on characters themselves. For a character with multiple appearances in various media, would all the info be merged or seperated as per universe? Sonic's page is an example of course, but the histories of his other incarnations still have histories and personalities that differ greatly; perhaps enough to warrant articles of their own if necessary. Certainly the Sega forms constitute the core canon and should be default directs, but perhaps disambig options could also exist? Sally is another example, considering that her Fleetaway counterpart is radically different in appearance and, as far as I can tell, species (chipmunk/squirel hybrid as opposed to pure squirel as far as I can tell).

Of course, if such minor articles do get created, it can be hard to track. Is there a style of referencing you prefer?

Anyway, thanks for the time. I checked the Help pages but they didn't really cover these issues as far as I can tell. Even if such articles are authorised, don't expect a surge in creation. Still, the STH universe (or multiverse as I see it) is one worthy of a compendium of info and I'd like to share it. How I do so however, is as per policy dictates. Thanks again.--Hawki 10:09, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

RE: Episode Articles
Good to here! Hopefully I can get started soon! Oh, are you missing any of the comics from about 47 to 125? I think I might have those lying around somewhere if you need help editing. Stumpers 22:51, 30 March 2008 (UTC)
 * By the way, I'm not sure if Project Chaos is just a placeholder page, but it's the kind of thing I would delete on the the Animal Crossing Wikia, so I thought I'd let you know. Stumpers 02:24, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
 * No problem. I'm glad to help... yeah, lack of time is a why I have a hard time editing Wikis, so you'll probably only see a few (big?) edits from me for now.  I'm working on an article for the Sonic X-treme character Tiara B. at the moment. Stumpers 23:11, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

Do you think you could look at the Tiara Boobowski article and see if it meets the Wiki's standards? Thanks! Stumpers 15:18, 4 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Awesome! Thanks for the feature!  That's just great.  Cool, cool, cool.  Oh, and I moved the personal musings... don't know why I had them on my talk page in the first place.  They're on my user page now.  Anyway, that's really cool.  Thanks for your support and help! Stumpers 04:30, 5 April 2008 (UTC)

Affiliation
Greetings, I'm the creator and admin at Mobius Encyclopaedia and I noticed that our two wikias are some of the larger compilations of information for all things Sonic the Hedgehog, up there with Wikipedia. I was wondering if you would be interested in affiliating our two wiki's. Mine focuses strictly on the Archie comics while Sonic News Network seems to focus primarily on the games. An affiliation between the two wikias would allow for mutual promotion and aid in the expansion of our communities. I don't have a banner image at the moment but if you have one I'd be more than happy to place it on the main page and the affiliates page. Let me know what you think. Thanks for your time. - Dimitri the Echidna 00:24, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

Response to your post:
 * At the moment my wiki is still growing and because I'm attending university I've been unable to put the time into updating the site layout and colour scheme to my satisfaction, so it's still somewhat bland by comparison of other wikias and also not as widly known. The idea I had when creating this wiki was to provide an archive to all things from the Archieverse for newcomers to that franchise and hardcore fans to have a good database for everything in that storyline. I've browsed through Sonic News Network quite a bit and found it is a fantastic database for game related articles. The structure, narrative language and such on our two wikis are different in many ways (just check out an article to get a sense of the narrative language and how information is referenced) which is why I'm not sure a merging would be the best idea. What I'd like to see is mutual promotion, maybe a logo of your wiki on the main page of this site, plus on an affiliation page promoting it as the Sonic gaming wiki, while your wiki would do the same for mine, promoting it as the Sonic Archie-Comics wiki. - Dimitri the Echidna (21:29, 11 April 2008 (UTC)


 * I sincerely appreciate your respect for my wishes. I'm going to be updating my site's logo very soon (actually it was supposed to be updated some time ago but the person I hired to make the new one has been preoccupied). I'm adding your logo to the main page now as well as in the news section. I've also done a lot of work on character templates and such so I'm sure we can mutually assist one another with this matter. - Dimitri the Echidna (18:26, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

New Vandalism
Hey, Moonrender. Back again with more "new page" vandalism.
 * Ali Baba
 * Ageless
 * Sacred Heart Hospital
 * Doctor Cox
 * Idiot the hedgehog

You also may with to block the contributor's IP: 65.25.105.32, he has also vandalised the Charmy Bee article, but I took care of that. Stumpers 05:33, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Oh, something else... Save it for marriage billboard and all other edits from 131.123.185.109 Stumpers 05:46, 12 April 2008 (UTC)


 * No problem! Thanks for taking care of them.  BTW, I've removed my links to the pages so that we don't get requests for these pages showing up on the wanted pages list. Stumpers 23:59, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks! Stumpers 00:05, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

Here we go again... Christian Senn has been made as a spam page by 75.34.39.42. Stumpers 01:08, 19 April 2008 (UTC)

The character list for Sonic Unleashed was vandalized by 86.134.177.208 Stumpers 23:37, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

More: there's a page called Demented that was created by 78.37.133.157. Also, 65.254.197.51 vandalized Rouge the Bat (added a statement about false sexual activity). Stumpers 21:09, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
 * No problem! I'm happy to help. Stumpers 15:35, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

Sonic the Hedgehog's article had some vandalism today from Special:Contributions/Ted351291 Ted351291. I took care of it, but I thought I'd report it in case he does any more stuff. Stumpers 00:41, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

Sonic Unleashed was vandalized by 86.146.204.138 in a manner very similar to the previous vandalism... methinks we have a sockpuppet. He also created the page Tom Cat and Bill Gates. He also created Luigi, but that's actually a valid article because of M&S at the Olympic Games. How ironic. All of this vandalism is very deja vu. Stumpers 07:02, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

A familiar vandal is back under a new IP: Stumpers 05:00, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

Continuity Stuff
So, I've heard bits and pieces regarding how we're to write when different continuities are involved (ie, Sonic X, SatAM, etc.) on this Wiki, but what's the official word? Stumpers 03:50, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks for letting me know how to format the articles! I'm really not sure how we could tie together some of the TV shows and comics without making crazy speculation (the connection between Adventures of Robotnic and SatAM Robotnic, for example... their personalities are very different).  I could really see separating character history sections by game(s)/comic/TV show just for the purpose of not speculating on how (if) they are connected, but I agree with you: having all of it on the same page is for the best.  The character of Sonic and other multiple-source as we know him today has been influenced by all of them, even what wasn't released. Stumpers 23:25, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

Hi
I'm new here, but Im currently a SysOp in the RuneScape wikia. What i wanted to know was if the mark up is the same for both wiki's. Templates, coding etc. Please get back to me asap. , 04:42, 20 April 2008 (UTC)

Fanon Page?
I know that we're allowing pages related to Nazo Unleashed and related fan movies, but I'm pretty sure that Grey The Albatross is just one of Sonicadventure's characters that didn't get moved to his userspace. Of course, I could be mistaken; I'm not familiar with Sonicadventure's fan creations. Stumpers 04:25, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

Thanks!
thanks for the welcome and im happy to help anytime, p.s., im also from P.A. :D Sonicobbsessed 21:52, 23 April 2008 (UTC)

Fan/Unofficial Images
I was wondering what your policy on these were? Related to this is the fact that if we do allow fan images, is there a limit to the kind of content allowed? For example, (WARNING: 21+ Image!) Image:Topazouge.jpg (WARNING: 21+ Image!) is an image featuring Rouge and Topaz lying in a sexual situation with full frontal female nudity. I'm not sure if there's a Wikia policy regarding this sort of content, but you might want to check. Stumpers 23:25, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

I apologise about the image. My room mate thinks it's funny to upload Sonic images like that in order to get me suspended, (which he nearly did on Wikipedia) he's a real nuisance. He also uploaded this. Image:Rougeamy.jpg I request that both images be deleted as soon as possible thank you.SupersonicShadowfan 10:02, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

I hope you both know I didn't upload that image, but anyway... like you said it has to serve a purpose, but I don't see what purpose is served by fan art for characters who there is official art for and are never in said situation in any of the Sonic official storylines. But don't worry - in the future I won't bring them up. Stumpers 04:39, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

Help with CSS and layout
Hey there once again from the Archie-Sonic wikia. I was wondering if you'd be able to help me out with some things. For example, I noticed that the main page on this site is no longer a redirect from the Main Page, but the main page is simply called "Sonic News Network". I was wondering how you managed to do this. Also, the side bar on your wiki has more options listed, and the colours of the subtitles are different colours along with the page background colour. Furthermore, unless you log in to my wiki, the site layout and such is quite different (much to my dismay). How did you manage to make it so your site remained the same layout whether you're signed in or not? Is there any way you could help me make changes like this? Thanks for your help. - Dimitri the Echidna 09:45, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

Tabuu and Other Smash Bros. Characters
There's now an article about Tabuu, a boss in the game Super Smash Bros. Brawl. If this is out of the scope of the Wiki, you might want to make a policy quick before the user wastes more of his/her time. Stumpers 01:21, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

You were reccomended :)
Hi, Im new and still don't quite know the ropes just yet.

Stumpers reccomended you if I find any problems that need Administration and care. Just wanted to let an admin know about 86.146.204.138 who makes a new totally random offtopic page like Bill Gates, Luigi and Tom Cat that suppose to redirect article to Wikipedia but epicly fails.

Hope we can be friend. ^_^

Also, I would be apreciative if an Admin checks over my first article Sonic Fan Characters to see if it's acceptable for SNN and don't mind users leaving there userpages fan characters in the See also's section as it would help present examples of Fan characters.

Mystic Monkey 08:08, 9 May 2008 (UTC)


 * I think that user struck again today, this time under the account [Special:Contributions/Jordanwinehouse|Jordanwinehouse]. Anyway, all the vandalism has been taken care of by myself and others except for the random redirect pages. Stumpers 02:28, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

Site Layout (Cont'd)
Thanks very much for the help! I added an "affiliates" link on the sidebar with the Sonic News Network linked. Also I have the main page name how I want it. I really appreciate your help. As per the site skin for non-registered users, I can't seem to revert it back to just Monobook no matter what I do. I'll probably have to contact Wikia about it. Anyways thanks again! - Dimitri the Echidna 03:39, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

Jordan Winehouse
I've seen this guy before, but he's back, vandalizing the Wiki again. I'm not sure if you blocked him before, but this guy is vandalizing so much that I feel an indefinate block is in order. Stumpers 21:04, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
 * No problem. I'm glad I can help with something when I'm not feeling up to doing another full article.  Speaking of, I should start one... hmm... I have a bunch of things I want to do. Stumpers 01:32, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

Episode Infobox
Just as a heads up, I'm creating an article for an episode of the SatAM television series. Here's my goal, and please feel free to add or subtract from it as you see fit:
 * Article
 * Opening: episode name, number, and brief plot (non-spoiler)
 * Plot Synopsis: more in-depth plot that spoils everything. Doesn't outline little things like camera shots changes, but outlines plot events, including overviews of conversation.
 * Characters: lists the characters and their role within the episode.
 * History (when applicable): Includes any video/DVD releases of the episode and historical bits (one of the writers whose name I can't remember has mentioned many things about the series, I hope to find some info in his writing)
 * Credits: includes main article link to a complete credits list. This section would include things that change by episode, like writer(s) and guest voice actors (applies to at least one episode).
 * Links to YouTube videos of the episode?
 * Resources
 * Infobox
 * Episode Name
 * Picture of key plot set-up point (non-spoiler)
 * Original Air Date
 * Writer
 * Links section: to the entire episode list, SatAM page, SatAM page section for the season (1 or 2), and links to the previous and next episode according to original air date.
 * Categories
 * Sonic the Hedgehog (TV series)
 * Television Show Episodes
 * Sonic the Hedgehog (TV series) Episodes

I've already completed the article opening and will be able to make an infobox like the one on this page. If you're unfamiliar with Infoboxes, they can be inserting into an article either by constructing each individaully (like the one in my example) or by creating a template. The template method is preferable as it allows for any desired change to be made uniformly across the Wiki. However, I am not good with templates and avoid them when possible. If you have a User who is good with them, let me know so I can contact him/her if we want to continue making episode articles after we see how this one turns out. Stumpers 05:06, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
 * That would be awesome! I'm not sure how much more time I'll have for this Wiki, so I hope that if I do this episode article other editors will follow suit... we'll see.  Thanks for your help! Stumpers 08:01, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Hey, that's really, REALLY good! Better than I had imagined, actuallY!  There are a couple of problems, though, some of which are probably me putting in info wrong: instead of, "number," I think it would be clearer to say, "episode," because there are two episodes of each number because there were two seasons (confusing, ain't it?).  If we have that section be fore episodes, we can write, "Episode 2, Season 1."  That messed up the numbering at the bottom, though, (the value you enter for number must also be used at the bottom section, right?).  The next bit is easier: the automatic linking.  It doesn't work so well with the series name because of the Sonic the Hedgehog show.  You would link it by saying, Sonic the Hedgehog, but the automatic link prevents me from doing that.  I'm not sure what's going on in the writer department (you can check the Sonic Boom page, btw to see what happened.)  If you're having that one do automatic linking to Wikipedia, it might be best not to, as some writers span multiple TV series, (mainly SatAM and Underground), so they really could use a page on our Wiki (which would have a link to Wikipedia, of course).  I'm sorry to be such a pain about all of this!!! Thanks for all your help! Stumpers 06:28, 14 June 2008 (UTC)
 * It works perfectly now! About the episode thing: you could really do it either way (read: do what's easier!) but I think it would look and read better to say episode 1, season 1 on the same line.  I'm just thinking about how you would have two lines just for numbers, and that might be a little harder to read than the alternative.  Seriously, though: great job!  It's really rare that something looks better than I was imagining it to be. Stumpers 05:29, 15 June 2008 (UTC)

New vandalism
Check out this IP's contribs: Special:Contributions/204.210.146.179. I've reverted his changes up to 9:40 this morning, but so far he's been going into the forum and inserting words here and there, sometimes even completely changing the meaning of a user's comment. Stumpers 14:41, 16 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Two more IPs vandalizing: Special:Contributions/24.163.254.108 and Special:Contributions/24.163.244.186. Here are the pages to delete: Nkjhkl and Mah boi. Stumpers 19:57, 20 June 2008 (UTC)

NiGHTS, Billy Hatcher, etc.
Hello. I noticed you say that NiGHTS and other Sonic-related, but not Sonic, pages shouldn't have info. Well, can I put info on them, though? You want this wiki to have the most info on all Sonic everything, so why not allow us to edit those pages? I just want to help this wiki out by gathering the most info possible. So, is it ok?Nickno 16:59, 19 June 2008 (UTC)

Hello
Hey there, good to hear from you again. Mobius Encyclopaedia's popularity continues to grow, as do the number of articles and people contributing. How are things here are the Sonic News Network? - Dimitri the Echidna

Fan made game
Shouldn't this article (Sonic Battle 3) be deleted? I mean, Sonic News Network should focus on official Sonic games, not fan made ones. I found this article, but if there are more I will warn you Alexrd 09:59, 14 July 2008 (UTC)

Pleeeeeeeaaaaase! Everything bad happens to me! I'm new and i just started wathing sonic and i have no idea how to use wikis! Change "Hornz" Back! Digisapien 15:46, 16 July 2008 (UTC)

Dear FerralMoonrender,

I am current head of the SNN task force and I am here with a request. There have been many Fan-Fiction on many aricals. I say we shall not let fan-fiction on this site. wikis are not to be use as fan-cruft websites and we hould get rid of them immedietly. This is only a request, but know the SNN task force will continue to change any and all fan-cruft.
