You probably wouldn't have lost hours of editing work if you had discussed this with the moderation staff before trying to make such a major change.
(This isn't me trying to sound rude or condescending, or anything. It's just something I've seen happen often when users try to make major changes like these.)
What's funny is that there might actually be something to this, but not in the way you'd think.
Sonic Underground was originally conceptualized as a standalone series about Sonia, so the writers made sure to give her a name derived from "Sonic" so that it'd be apparent that she was his sister.
Anyways, when the show was retooled into Sonic Underground, they decided to throw a brother into the mix, who they originally named "Edsel". For whatever reason they didn't like that name, and looked for a new one.
I genuinely think what happened is that they used Sonia's name as a starting point, split it up into the part that was derived from "Sonic" (Son-) and the part they just added on (-ia), took the other part of Sonic (-ic) and thought of something that could proceed the part they added on.
There's also the fact that "Sonic Mania" was a marketing phrase used by Sega to promote Sonic CD, Sonic Spinball, and Sonic Chaos launching on the same day. I dunno if that could have anything to do with it.
Read the Comic Encyclopedia, and make sure you have a good understanding of the lore.
I always thought this one sounded a bit like a wedding march:
I kind of wonder why they chose to use the Sonic Chronicles model.
Even though I thought Fang Robo was harder, I find the Golden Capital Fang fight more annoying. It's so long, and due to its autoscroller nature, you can't speed it up just by playing better.
"Stop removing stuff unless it's actually incorrect"
Please think about what you just said for a moment.
Let's say I go over to Sage's trivia section and add some points:
Sage is the only character to appear in ''Sonic Frontiers'' with a name ending in "-age"
Sage is the only character to appear in ''Sonic Racing: Crossworlds'' with a name ending in "-age"
Sage is the only character to appear in ''Sonic Frontiers'' with a name starting with "Sag-"
Sage is the only character to appear in ''Sonic Racing: Crossworlds'' with a name starting with "Sag-".
Are these points correct? Yes, they are. Are they relevant? No. Writing for the wiki is more than just "if it's correct, you add it". You have to consider whether it improves the page, or just bloats it.
I don't have much to add here, apart from the fact that your edits are being reverted because they just aren't constructive. You keep on plugging the "trivia" sections of pages full of pointless information.
This is a common "hole" a lot of new users fall into. Since trivia sections are the easiest to edit and don't require a lot of writing, they keep on trying to fill them with whatever info they can find, constructive or not.
Sorry I couldn't offer a full response earlier; I was busy. So here's some extended commentary:
To me, you come across as wanting to be admin not for the purpose of improving the wiki, but just for the purpose of being admin, or for the purpose of having a role that puts you above other users.
Aside from the fact that you didn't provide any examples of notable edits you made, you also tried to guilt-trip us by saying "By that way I'm becoming impatient becoming an admin. Also I made two posts about it this year. Also keep in mind I'd love to become an administrator since my birthday is on the fourteenth."
You also say "I can already see what I'd do as an administrator", but don't bother explaining what those actions are. So you can see why there's some opposition to your proposal.

They aren't goofs in the way that the wiki defines the term. Plotholes are simply unexplained plot points. Sometimes the writers intentionally don't explain them because they don't have the time to.
Here's my nomination:
Project Shadow | Sonic Wiki Zone | Fandom
(Embed wouldn't work, so I had to just use the link.)
Botanic Base from Knuckles' Chaotix.
This topic is mainly in regards to AI art being posted on the discussion board. I don't think anyone's using AI on actual wiki pages.
100 edits or 100 posts.
It's not a "goof" either. Even if it was unexplained, that would just make it a plothole.
What it comes down to is that Sega's decided to ignore Penders entirely, and Penders knows this.
Sega could sue Penders but given how the lawsuit ended and Archie's legal team was too incompetent to keep track of Penders' contracts, it wouldn't be easy for them to win.
As for the original series thing, Penders is directly collaborating with Scott Shaw for that. He also claims he's paying Michael Gallager a bit.
But going back to the Shadow files, what's really weird is that it actually includes two stories by Ian Flynn.
Penders claims that Flynn's first two Light Mobius stories were based on unused scripts he wrote before leaving Archie, and as a result he owns them. So he's reprinting them without Flynn's permission.
Oh, that reminds me:
Ken Penders is trying to make a movie based on his lawsuit.
See, that's the thing. He is profiting from it.
"The Shadow Files" is a bunch of Ken Penders' Shadow stories reprinted. He plans to sell it as a physical book.
He already sold a collection of his Archie Knuckles stories, and made money off of them.
