I dunno if Sega originally had Mandates for Archie to begin with.

So far, I only know these few mandates: *I think these are the older mandates, but at times Archie worked around them... y'know, to make Sonic believable. ^ Where did you get the above information? Source? I'd like to know so I can put it in the page. Just from what I found out here and there. Also just found this http://greenyvertekins.tumblr.com/post/112440191439/can-listing-various-sega-mandates-made-for-archie But given it's "tumblr" thats a red flag for me.
 * The comics are not permitted to use Ken Penders characters or any of his content from Pre-SGW.
 * But replacing them with post-incarnations is permittable. (Maximillion Acorn → King Acorn)
 * Content from certain games are not permitable.
 * Black Doom from Shadow's game.
 * All of Sonic Chronicles.
 * Other than Nicole making them remember the previous universe, these memories have faded like last nights dreams and thus shall no longer be relevent.
 * Classic Sonic, Classic Tails, Classic Eggman or any other classic depictions of Sega's characters are not permitted. (However Archie can get away with depicted the Classics in shadows or bare resemblence to them in flash backs.)
 * Sega's characters (Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, Amy and so on) are not permitted to have any family other than relations established in games (Cream, Vanilla). Archies characters (Sally, Rotor, Bunnie, Antoine) are permitted however.
 * Sega's characters are not permitted to have romantic interest in one another other than Amy's occasional flirts with Sonic. Archies characters are permitted but not with Sega's characters. (SonSal being a no.)
 * Sonic the Hedgehog can't loose.*
 * Sonic the Hedgehog can't cry.*

All the more reason why I request such an article than me making it myself because even I am not entirely sure on the mandates.
