Sonic articles
I will be reverting those articles and setting up a merge discussion for the rest non-notable characters. Please leave the articles as they are until the discussion is over. If the discussion does not end up working, the articles can go back to the way that they were. TTN (talk) 16:28, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
Can I ask you how you know those one timers won't be making any comebacks, take Black Doom for instance he, (having similar abilities to Shadow) could have survived that fall.Fairfieldfencer (talk) 11:16, 11 January 2008 (UTC)Fairfieldfencer
And what if he doesn't? Most of the characters are one-shot anyway. And what's your problem callin' us vandals, kid? We're followin' the freakin' rules. Stop annoyin' us. -- ZeroGiga (Contact) 10:56, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
"Vandal" with reference to the Oxford English Dictionary is someone who wantonly damages or destroys, as TTN was doing with other peoples entries. I may be only 12 but I would not deface others work just for the sake of it.Fairfieldfencer (talk) 16:33, 22 January 2008 (UTC)Fairfieldfencer
Come on, should you really blame him. So... yeah, he may be just gaming the system, but if you want to see the root of our "vandalism," read the rules or talk to the admins about what the rules are doing to the site and how "vandals" have the upper hand. Good luck. -- ZeroGiga (Contact) 3:02, 23 January 2008 (UTC)
Centralized TV Episode Discussion
Over the past months, TV episodes have been reverted by (to name a couple) TTN, Eusebeus and others. No centralized discussion has taken place, so I'm asking everyone who has been involved in this issue to voice their opinions here in this centralized spot, be they pro or anti. Discussion is here [1]. --Maniwar (talk) 21:16, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
I'm sorry, I would love to help you but I only get involved with certain articles, (or in other words I only get involved in articles where I know what I'm talking about). Fairfieldfencer (talk) 12:46, 16 January 2008 (UTC)
About the Cosmo Article...
If it's alright with you, I know a site where ALL the info is still kept (At least, I think so). If you want, I could lead you to that site right now so you could remake it. Oh, and another thing, TTN's talking on the Video Game discussions about merging Sonic articles. You might wanna check that out before its too late. ZeroGiga (Contact) 18:06, 08 Febuary 2008 (UTC)
- Alright: http://www.answers.com/topic/cosmo-sonic-the-hedgehog. Everything's intact at this address. Hope I can help, and no offense for deleting the original. Just make sure you follow the rules next time, okay? ZeroGiga (Contact) 18:08, 08 Febuary 2008 (UTC)
Thankyou very much this will be a great help to us.Fairfieldfencer (talk) 09:47, 9 February 2008 (UTC)Fairfieldfencer
- (in case you don't see the reply on the discussion page) Thank you, I have listed it as: Start Class - No Refernces, needs work! Low Importance - Original character from an Animated series based on Sonic Adventure, no basis withing acutal Saga series (ie: not based on a chracter created by Sega or Featured in anything else Sega related)! You are always welcome to join The Sega Project, and even if you do not wish to join you may add the {{segaproject}} tag to the top of any talkpages of the articles you believe are within our scope! Doktor Wilhelm 13:05, 22 February 2008 (UTC)
Thanks I'll do that.Fairfieldfencer (talk) 13:10, 22 February 2008 (UTC)Fairfieldfencer
The Sega Project Invitation
Hello, Fairfieldfencer. You've brought some good discussion to the Sega Project, and I was wondering if you were interested in joining our little project. Anyone can join, but I'm extending this invitation to you personally. If you want to join, just sign your name on the project's members page. You don't even need to have a full-time commitment to the project to join. Anyway, I hope you consider joining; attitudes like yours are what help us save articles!Redphoenix526 (talk) 19:47, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

E-123 Omega
I've been reading over the article again, and the more I look, the more I question what I am able to do for the article beyond what I put in my assessment. The main problem is the sourcing and that some sections just seem to scream "original research". Now, I know that all of it is true, having played the games myself up to Sonic Heroes, but the sourcing is the main error. I'll keep looking for them, but if you find them, I'll help you set up the references. Sorry, but don't expect an edit from me unless I can turn something up. I'd rather cite the content than remove it, so I won't be stripping the article down, either. Redphoenix526 (Talk) 18:47, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
Redphoenix, I don't think I'll be much help so I'm going to pull out. But I'll keep an eye out for vandalism and forget about the Omega article I can handle that myself, and thanks for the advice it'll come in really handy.Fairfieldfencer (talk) 17:52, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
- Hey, I did find something you could use. You can cite lines in the games themselves. Use bold text to say who says it (followed by a colon), regular text for the line, and italic text to cite the specific game. Make sure you put the year the game was released next to it. Just sandwich all of these between <ref></ref> tags, and you can use that for some things that are hard to cite like the "I couldn't even beat Gamma or Beta" line. Also, don't worry about the list, I'm pretty much the only one who looks after it anyway. I appealed to the Video Games project for help, to no responses. At least the list is coming along; slow, but it's working. If you see a game and you just happen to know it's not on my franchise list but should be, can you let me know? That's how you can be helpful to me. Thanks, and don't worry about having to pull out. Redphoenix526 (Talk) 02:09, 22 March 2008 (UTC)
I've used that piece of advice for the article along with some new info I added.Fairfieldfencer (talk) 11:08, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
Fair use rationale for Image:Rouge&TopazX.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Rouge&TopazX.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.
If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Polly (Parrot) 21:38, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
- Don't worry about this, Fairfieldfencer, I've taken care of the fair use rationale for you. Redphoenix526 (Talk) 02:31, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
Thanks.Fairfieldfencer (talk) 16:36, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
I could use your help.
Hey FFF. I don't know if you knew this or not, but we've got an article listed at WP:GAN and it's on hold until we can fix a few things. I've been involved in fixing it, but I could use more help (the other editor who's working on it with me hasn't done too terribly much). The article is Sega Mega Drive, and on the talk page our reviewer left a couple of comments on what we need to do. It's mostly sourcing issues, but if you can help, I would really appreciate it. Thanks. Red Phoenix (Talk) 15:11, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
Unfortunately I can't I'm very busy on other wikipedia articles.Fairfieldfencer (Talk) 19:25, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
- It's over now, but I don't think you could've helped, because it was all a giant sourcing issue. Don't worry about it.
Sorry but if there is one thing I'm bad it's sourcing. That's why I use wikipedia that way I know all the latest Sonic stuff.Fairfieldfencer (talk) 10:03, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
Ad Banner
Hey, I know the Sega Project hasn't had an ad banner ever, which is why you're using the "Join the Sega Project" text on your userpage. Anyway, if you've read the project talk page, I've created an ad banner, though I'm not so great with images. I've got it on my userpage, too. Here it is:
What do you think? If you like it and want to use it, feel free. You can find the code with the link to the project in the coding for the one on the project talk page. If you like it, I think I'll put this banner into the rotation for Wikipedia Ads, which many users (like Doktor Wilhelm) have on their pages to advertise projects at random. It might draw the project some more members. Red Phoenix (Talk) 23:34, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
The banner looks great and should do well as an advertisement but I'll stick with the one I've got now if that's OK with you.Fairfieldfencer (talk) 16:33, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
- Yeah, sure, no problem. I'll get it put into the ad banner rotation right away. Red Phoenix (Talk) 16:52, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
Marine the Raccoon
The reason given for her lack of Aussie accent in the comic is not a "theory" - the writer himself stated that was the case on his message board (http://bumbleking.com/forum) - are message board posts valid refs though? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.243.144.54 (talk) 02:25, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
I'm not sure but stick it back in anyway and sorry for erasing it.Fairfieldfencer (talk) 11:42, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
Never mind I've put it back in for you.Fairfieldfencer (talk) 20:24, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
Citing video games
Hey, FFF. While I was looking through stuff for an article I'm working on for a future GA nom, Sega Mega Drive, I hit a reference template that I think you might find useful while you're working with the Sonic characters articles. Now, you're supposed to limit how much you source from the games, since they are "primary sources", but this template should help you cite it right. Here's the template:
{{cite video game|title= |developer= |publisher= |date= |platform= |version= |level= |language= |isolang= |quote= }}
Just fill in as much of it as you can each time. Hope that helps. Red Phoenix (Talk) 19:37, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
Hey Red phoenix I think I've finally gotten the Omega article to B-class, but that's your appinion.Fairfieldfencer (talk) 20:07, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

Userbox
Here's what I've got for you. If there's something you'd like changed, just speak up. It doesn't take that much to change userbox coding. By the way, this box is part of your userspace. To enter this, type {{User:Fairfieldfencer/TwoRonnies}}
Two Ronnies | This user loves The Two Ronnies. R: And now it's good night from me. R: And it's good night from him. |
By the way, I fixed your barnstar, too. Someone forgot to put the end bracket on the barnstar, that's all. Red Phoenix flame of life...protector of all... 14:34, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
Thanks.Fairfieldfencer FFF 14:44, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
I'm sure you're curious about the "And it's good night from me. And it's good night from him." They used that as the closing line after the end of a show.Fairfieldfencer FFF 14:50, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
I almost forgot!
I've been wanting to give this out to you for a while, but I haven't. So this is for you.

To Fairfieldfencer, for all your help improving The Sega Project and your tireless crusade to improve the Sonic character articles, I hereby award you the Sega Project Award. Red Phoenix flame of life...protector of all... 16:56, 21 April 2008 (UTC) |
Also, I fixed the glitch on your userpage involving the userboxes and later text getting scrunched up. Just a little trick I picked up while I was editing articles. Red Phoenix flame of life...protector of all... 16:56, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
Thank you.Fairfieldfencer FFF 16:59, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
After reading the template debates and all that stuff, FFF, I'd really like to keep you from edit warring with everyone. So I've set up a debate on the Sega Project talk page (not the assessment one we use for article cleanup) and invited A Man In Black to come talk with us. I'm also going to invite Kung Fu Man, the person who reverted your last edit. Let's see if we can do this right and come to consensus. Red Phoenix flame of life...protector of all... 17:03, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
- Please don't continue the edit war like this [2]. It only makes things worse. Cigraphix (talk) 14:17, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
- I came here to tell you the same thing. Given the discussion at the template talk page and Wikipedia talk:VG#Sonic info, it is clear that there is not yet consensus to add age, height, weight, or other such characteristics. These fields should only be added if there is consensus to do so. Your edit warring is not productive and violates the spirit of Wikipedia:Three-revert rule. I request that you revert yourself and only add the fields if the discussion determines it. Pagrashtak 20:00, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
NO!! I will not revert my edit!! Man in Black's vandalism to the template is what started this!! I undid the edit then he undid it again in the middle of the discussion.Fairfieldfencer FFF 20:05, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
- First of all, A Man in Black's edit was in good faith and does not constitute vandalism—don't just throw that term around. If you look at the link I provided above, you will see that other members of the video game project support his edit, and are in fact providing links to policies and guidelines to back up their statements. You criticize him for reverting in the middle of a discussion, but isn't that exactly what you are doing? I will again ask you to revert your edit, as it defies consensus. Pagrashtak 20:24, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
- Oh and last time I checked, doing a major edit without notification is vandalism.Fairfieldfencer FFF 14:56, 26 April 2008 (UTC)
I have reluctantly undone my edit.Fairfieldfencer FFF 13:39, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
Wikibreak
Hey, FFF. I know you're doing a lot right now for the Sonic articles, but unfortunately I'm not going to be able to help you much over the next week and a half or so. Next week is Finals Week here at Indiana University, and I've got to spend the rest of this week and next studying, doing those last assignments, etc. Good luck. Red Phoenix flame of life...protector of all... 02:44, 23 April 2008 (UTC)

Characters fixed
I fixed all of the issues with citations that we had in the Sonic character articles. It wasn't the infobox that was the problem, it was the whole debacle we had with the Sonic character template and the fact that the cite webs were on parameters that were removed (sometimes age, sometimes weight, etc.). That's also why it happened just a short time ago, because of the template issues. So that's fixed. Red Phoenix flame of life...protector of all... 18:17, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
Your changes to Severus Snape
Hi. I just undid your good faith changes to Severus Snape. The single brackets inside a quotation indicate changes or ommissions from the original quote. For example, the final quote of the epilogue does not in fact include Snape's name, so you cannot place "(Snape)" inside the quote (that would constitute falsifying a quote). However, since the absence of his name makes the quote, out of context, difficult to understand, this is remedied by adding a bracketed mention of the name to make it clear to the reader. Likewise, when portions of a quote are ommitted, then this is indicated by placing an ellipsis inside single brackets: [...]. The use of brackets in "[H]e" indicates that the original quote used a lower case h (probably because we are picking up a sentence halfway through or after a semicolon), and we are changing it to a capital H for readability. The brackets indicate that this is a change from the original text. Your changes amounted to falsifying the quotes because they presented text that was different from that of the original material without indicating that changes were being made. Just so you know. Magidin (talk) 21:21, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
Sorry about that.Fairfieldfencer FFF 09:22, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
Image:Sonic Chronicles title.jpg
I have updated the Sonic Chronicles title image you uploaded to a smaller, web-resolution version. The recommended maximum for an image to be stated as "low-resolution" (important for uploading copyrighted images under fair use) is 300 pixels along the longest edge, which it now is. SynergyBlades (talk) 20:46, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
Omega 3
Hi sorry about that. It didnt make any sense to me but thanks for telling me that I had done wrong. Please do not hesitate to tell me if I do wrong in the future. Christopher140691 (talk) 16:29, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
Relax it wasn't your fault. Oh and a word of advise, if you're having trouble with refs try using discussions as refs.Fairfieldfencer FFF 16:36, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
Sonic task force
Hey, FFF. As the de facto leader of the Sega Project, I have seen a need to expand our project a bit. Articles about the Sonic series of games constitute a large portion of the project's articles, and when we compare how much work we have between the series and other Sega articles, well, the Sonic series definitely has its fair share. So, for better organizational purposes, I am going to create a Sonic task force within the Sega Project. A task force runs much like a WikiProject, though it does not have the size or many of the qualities of the project. After the page is created, the shortcut to the task force will be WP:SEGA/S, and the page will be Wikipedia:WikiProject Sega/Sonic. I will edit the header of the Sega Project's main page to include this task force. This task force seems more like a task force that would be along your train of thought more than mine (as much as I love to work on the Sonic articles, I often find myself working on other articles), so I want to put you in charge of the new task force after I have it set up. The task force's logo will be Image:Blue_circle_with_white_highlight.svg, and for every article that will fall under the new task force, the parameter tf=Sonic needs to be added to the {{segaproject}} box on every article's talk page. It's a lot of work to get this set up fully, and we'll be under construction for a while, but I feel it is necessary for organizational purposes and for cleanup efforts. If you choose not to run the task force, all you have to do is tell me. But I think you'll like it, so enjoy the task force. Red Phoenix flame of life...protector of all... 01:38, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
Also, given that we have a new Sega Barnstar designed by Cradel, do you think you could remake the barnstar you gave me using the new barnstar? Sorry if it is too much trouble to ask, just thought I would. Red Phoenix flame of life...protector of all... 02:57, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
- The goal of the task force is to get all articles within the task force's scope up in quality in general. The higher, the better. There is no predefined goal. Of course, if you want to run any improvements by me, I'd be happy to take a look. I've done a lot of assessments with my 2500 edits, so I know what to look for in an article. Whenever you want to have an article looked at for class improvement, just take it to anyone else. You can't raise it yourself because that is a conflict of interest. This is why we have assessment departments. For the task force, the Sega Project Assessment Department (WP:SEGA/A) will function for the task force as well, as will all the departments of the Sega Project. Red Phoenix flame of life...protector of all... 12:30, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
- I would like the Blaze the Cat article to be the first goal by getting it to B-class.Fairfieldfencer FFF 13:30, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
- As good as that sounds, I think cleanup to Sonic the Hedgehog (character) is more important. Though the GAR is very slow right now, we really do need to clean it up and make it a worthy GA since it is the focus of the task force. Red Phoenix flame of life...protector of all... 18:10, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
- I would like the Blaze the Cat article to be the first goal by getting it to B-class.Fairfieldfencer FFF 13:30, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
Thanks
I've signed my name on the project's members, which means I'm officially in. Thanks a lot for the invitation, that meant a lot to me. Cheers Super Knuckles (talk) 07:33, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
Expanding the Task Force
Hey, FFF. I don't know if you knew this or not, but we can mark what articles are included in the newly formed Sonic Task Force by adding tf=Sonic to each article's {{segaproject}} template. My favor to ask of you is for you to start marking the task force's articles with this. It's a parameter just like class and importance in the tag. Anyway, good luck with the characters. I know you have many character focuses, but I'd like to make the primary goal right now to make sure Sonic the Hedgehog (character) remains a Good Article. It is in horrible shape right now. As of this moment, I'm fairly inactive but I'm working on getting the Mega Drive article to FA and I plan to start working on the Genesis games articles (I'm used to saying Sega Genesis, it's what we call it here in America) and improving them. If you need my help with something, all you have to do is ask and I'll be helping you as soon as I can. I'll try to tag as many articles as possible, but I probably don't have the time. A good place to start with these tags is using the four Sonic templates at the bottom of the Task Force page to get the articles.
Oh, and did we ever get the merger concept set up yet? I'm going to do the merger, but I've got to work in some images (I couldn't do it in my sandbox, fair use images aren't allowed in userspace) and as for the other media, I'm going to just leave it for now. For the users, I'm going to expand every character's part about super transformation using that section from the super transformation article. Of course, you're free to help out all you want after I get this done. Red Phoenix flame of life...protector of all... 02:27, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
- You can count on me.Fairfieldfencer FFF 09:32, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
- I have added all the Sonic characters, (comic TV etc) and added a few to the Sega scope that should have been there in the first place.Fairfieldfencer FFF 17:19, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
- RP, I must thank you for letting me stick the sign on all those articles. My edit count went up by about a hundred which means one step closer to Yeoman. Yay.Fairfieldfencer FFF 20:11, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
- You do know it takes 4000 edits AND a year's service to become yeoman, right? I probably shouldn't be a Journeyman; I've got 2500 edits from a lot of assessment but I didn't really start editing until January 2008 (I had an account and two edits since August 2007, and I used this as rationale for the 6 months necessary for Journeyman. But you're welcome anyway; I haven't been able to edit much in the past few days. Red Phoenix flame of life...protector of all... 00:15, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

Re: Eggman eye colour
Hello, just got your message, here's a Youtube link to the scene Link. As you can see, you can see Eggman's eyes several times through the scene but can't tell what colour they are due to Youtube's quality, but if you have the game at home and play that scene you should be able to see it quite well. --Zikar (talk) 17:52, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

Julie-Su
No amount of cleanup will fix the fact that there are no reliable third-party sources about her (see WP:RS). The source you've provided is a primary source since it (apparently) came directly from Archie. Don't get me wrong, I like the Sonic comics, but there's no point in having a big, in-universe article about a character who isn't notable enough on her own, and should probably be merged to a relevant target. (A few other minor characters have already been merged to relevant lists, such as Nack the Weasel — this is pretty common procedure for fictional characters.) Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • (Broken clamshells•Otter chirps) 14:22, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
- Thank you, now I'll need to find a third party ref. Oh and by the way, if that profile was not official, don't you think someone might've spotted it by now considering it's used as the main image for the article?Fairfieldfencer FFF 14:27, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
- It's okay to use that profile as the main image because it's an official drawing of the character — the fair use rationale is just fine, so the image can stay. As for using conversations between the characters, that's still a primary source because it comes directly from the comic itself. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • (Broken clamshells•Otter chirps) 15:06, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
- A big problem with these comic book articles is that it's mostly uncited excessive plot summaries. Let's be honest, a lot of them are crap, like Super transformation (other media) (by the way, did we ever decide what to do with this?). Unfortunately, there's nothing I can do to save it unless some major revisions happen (read my comments on the AFD page for more).

Task Force
FFF, I've got a couple of pointers for you with the task force: when you invite people, make sure to extend their welcome to WikiProject Sega, if they are not already on our members list. Also, please encourage them to be active members of the project and use the talk pages. I mean, we are pretty much the only two members who use them (besides occasional pop-ins from Gaogier, Bridies, and Cradel, not to mention TTN, who isn't a project member).
I also wanted to let you know that, other than doing some work with Sonic the Hedgehog (character), I think I'm going to back down from working on fictional character articles including the Sonic characters. After reading WP:FICT over and over again, I've had some points to consider and I need some time to think, as my editing philosophy might be changing after rereading the guideline. I'll still work on the games articles when I have time and also on video game console articles (I got Sega Mega Drive to GA, it needs to go to FA and the other Sega console articles are mostly crap), and maybe more band articles (Crush 40 was such a success story for me that I think I can duplicate the success with other articles). But more or less, I'm working on things which have no fictional perspective (consoles and bands) and less fictional perspective than characters (games). I'd like to encourage you to read WP:FICT over again, too, because it is important to know when working with articles dealing with fiction.
This is part of why I left you in charge of the Sonic Task Force, because, although you may be misguided at times with sourcing and writing and knowing what is important, you are dedicated to the articles and you put a lot of effort into it. I'll still be around to lend a hand if you need it on character articles, but my philosophy is starting to stray from inclusionism to exclusionism on the character articles and I want to back down before I cause any damage leading to TTN winning the debate.
I'll be back online in a couple of hours, I've got some stuff to do off of Wikipedia. Red Phoenix flame of life...protector of all... 13:34, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

Excellent news!
Hey, FFF. Head over to WP:AN and find the section reviewing TTN. Then scroll to the bottom of the discussion (but not the subsection). It looks like the administrators are considering a "topic ban" preventing TTN from working with fiction articles. If this goes through, then we'll have seen the last of his merging - redirecting wrath. By the way, I'm looking for any real-world info I can about the Sonic characters, and I'll put it in the articles when I find it. TTN did help notify us of a problem, that we should "put up" by establishing it. But I think we can do it, so I'll get started searching for sources immediately. Red Phoenix flame of life...protector of all... 14:03, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

RE: Images
Please don't orphan my images. If you would like me to find images of the other characters you want then I will, but don't delete my images without good reason. I'm pretty sure the only reason those images were deleted in the first place is because they didn't have the proper rationale which I will provide. Please respond on my talk page if you want the images.Fairfieldfencer FFF 12:41, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
I deleted them because they weren't major enough. We don't need pics. of such minor chars. as those 2 when some articles don't even have the main characters. Villians like: Mephiles, and Black Doom were major villians (For one-timers that is.) ,and have no pics. They don't NEED pics but, they're MUCH more deserving than say: Egg Golem, and Behomith (Or however you spell it.)Skeletal_SLJCOAAATR_Soul_Striker_of_Vengence (talk) 20:26, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

- Oh and I think those characters are unlockable by cheats or hacking, because in that image of Jet you can see Vector's face instead Jet's, so basically if they were intended to be in it Jet's face would've appeared.Fairfieldfencer FFF 21:40, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

The MASATOG images are hacks from the EU version of the game containing incomplete data. I also saw Omega as a ref. somewhere. I'll see if i can find it. But, all of those characters were intended to be PCs but, they're wasn't enough time to finish the programing data. If this MASATOG 2 rumour proves true, these chars. will most likely appear as PCs. The images of King Boom Boo, and Egg Golem, several articles removed pics. of chars. due to them being so minor.Skeletal_SLJCOAAATR_Soul_Striker_of_Vengence (talk) 04:40, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

My Next Project
Hey, FFF. Sorry about that whole discussion we've had at TTN's talk page, but unfortunately, as much as I didn't want to say anything to TTN, I felt that I had to. The comic articles have lots of problems (and I think most of that is due to the creator of many of these articles, Grandmastergalvatron.) Don't get me wrong, I'm not going to become a peon of TTN now. I don't like to delete or exclude if possible, but this is one case where I don't think we can fight it due to WP:PLOT violations and others. I'll help clean up as much as I can, and I definitely think E-123 Omega can stay as well, but it's just not going to work to keep them all.
By the way, I thought I'd let you in on my next project on Wikipedia. I'm going to take List of Sega Mega Drive and Sega Genesis games, List of Sega Mega-CD games, and List of Sega 32X games and try to get them to featured list status. I've got a couple sources for this: www.sega-16.com has comprehensive lists for all three systems, and a couple sources linked to List of Nintendo 64 games that cover a lot of systems comprehensively.
Anyway, I've been busy lately, but I'll be doing some work tomorrow. Also, I sent a message to VirtualSteve about Gaogier's block, so we'll see how that works out. Later, it's almost 2 a.m. here in Indiana and I'm very tired right now. Red Phoenix flame of life...protector of all... 05:50, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

The discussion at WP:VG
Hey, FFF. There's a discussion about Sonic the Hedgehog fancruft going on at the Video games project (which is where that Angel Island AFD came from), and I'd like it if you would join in on the conversation. We haven't handled the character articles yet, but here's the propositions: TTN has suggested seven character articles. I suggested eleven. With a little luck, you might be able to suggest E-123 Omega to keep his article, but you're the only real one who can argue that case, since I haven't followed that article extensively.

Re: The Sega Project invitation
Hello, and thanks for the invite. However, I must respectfully decline, though please allow me to explain. I have little time as it is on Wikipedia nowadays and do not feel I could cope with the mammoth task of stripping the Sonic articles of (what I see as) a huge amount of fancruft; it took me a surprisingly long time just to get the fairly short Sonic Chronicles article up to scratch. With regards to Sega itself and the project, I now have only a passing interest in the Sonic franchise. Having been a huge fan back in the days of Sonic 1/2/3, the series has continued to spiral from those dizzy heights and is a shadow of its former self. I had the misfortune of picking up the dire Sonic the Hedgehog 2006 for the PS3 as my first Sonic game since Sonic 3 & Knuckles, coupled to which I tend to find the remaining Sonic fans who have not abandoned the series are those that started after the Genesis-era, who revel in the cutesy world of Sonic's romantic interests and the hundreds of different irrelevant characters - some of the "characters from the Sonic series" articles really do show this attitude in spades - leaving the reputation of the series in tatters.
However, I look forward to Sonic Unleashed and hope that this will reverse that trend, which is why I maintain it. As I'm sure you've seen, some of the edits to that merely typify what I'm talking about. I'll continue to keep Unleashed well-referenced and hopefully up-to-date, but beyond that I can't really offer any help, though I do appreciate the invite. Keep vigilant with Unleashed, as you have been already. :) Regards SynergyBlades (talk) 23:52, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
Thanks FFF
Thanks for the cake, FFF. It's all right, I haven't had much time to do much lately but sit on my hands (I've had List of Sega 32X games tied up at WP:FLC but no one can do anything about it since there is some policy discussion going on about including Australia in all of this, which I can't source if it goes through.)
Anyway, it looks like the Sonic cruft discussion has gone cold. But we, as WikiProject Sega, do have the responsibility to finish it. Now, I hate to tell you this, but the comic articles have to be merged. There's no other option since most of them are violations of WP:NOT#PLOT, probably because many of them were written by User:Grandmastergalvatron, from what I've seen. As for the game characters, well, I'm still sticking to the 12 article plan: Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, Amy, Dr. Eggman, Metal Sonic, Shadow, Rouge, E-123 Omega, Blaze, Silver, and Cream. Everything else, as I can see, deserves to be merged (speaking of which, there's a mess of lists we need to sort out of that.) It's up to you where to discuss this now: keep it at WP:VG or go to WT:SEGA or WP:SONIC. Just let me know, and we'll keep sorting this out. Also, before we delete/merge anything, we'll transwiki anything we can't use to http://sonic.wikia.com because they could certainly use it. Sorry I haven't been so active lately, but I've been out looking for a summer job and I'm still in limbo over what's going to happen with that. Red Phoenix flame of life...protector of all... 13:53, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
- We'll keep it where it is now but I think more merge tags should be put up, and that the merge should be mentioned in the next Sega Project newsletter. And boy are you right about the wiki. I've got an account on there by the same name and it's nothing compared to Wikipedia.Fairfieldfencer FFF 14:09, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
- I'm going to go ahead and stick some merge tags up on the lists and the characters. Can you help me with that? Besides, you could use the edit count boost, I know. Mark to merge what you can from Category:Sonic the Hedgehog characters, other than the twelve characters we've been talking about, into these lists:
- List of characters from Sonic the Hedgehog (games)
- List of characters in Sonic the Comic
- List of characters from Sonic X
- List of characters in Sonic Underground
- List of characters in Sonic the Hedgehog (TV Series)
- List of characters in Sonic the Hedgehog (comic)
- Yes, the last one hasn't been created yet. Or you could mark comic articles (besides Sonic the Comic) to merge into the TV series and we rename that since many articles share between the TV series and the Archie comic in the articles. Red Phoenix flame of life...protector of all... 14:40, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
- I just got 4000 edits. I don't need the boost but I'll help out, (it might help get protestors against the merge). Oh, and don't bother with video game and Sonic X, they've been done already. Fairfieldfencer FFF 14:43, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

Ratification vote.
FFF, there's a vote at Wikipedia_talk:Version_1.0_Editorial_Team/Assessment#Ratification_vote_on_C-Class about adding a C-Class to Assessment. If you don't mind, I would like it if you would be willing to come and support it, if you think it's worthwhile to add. I was planning on using it at the Sega Project if it gets ratified. Also, it helps to clarify the difference between Start class and B class, which really needs to be done, IMO. The vote deadline is on the 18th.

In response to your warning
I fail to see how the majority of the edits I made were counter-productive, seeing as they mostly consisted of removing details most would consider un-encyclopedic. However, if they interfered with some grand scheme the Project SEGA team has planned, fair enough.
Just promise me you won't indiscriminately undo any future edits I make in the Sonic section. At least, not before checking them first. --Danish Ranger 19:27, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

However, one edit to the Blaze article, which I will re-do now, I did because I felt it contributed nothing of substance to the article that the pictures didn't already. --Danish Ranger 19:42, 6 June 2008 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Danish Ranger (talk • contribs)

This isn't good, FFF.

Re: E-123 Omega
Well, I took another look over it, and well, you're still looking at a B-class article, but a much better one (if C-Class was up, the last assessment would have been C-Class). If you want to get this article any better, I suggest you take some advice that would help with a GA-nomination, the next step up:
- Find citations for everything. You must make sure that nothing could possibly be thought of as WP:OR
- Editors generally look down on all-plot articles. It's true that WP:FICT appears to lack consensus as of now, but WP:NOT#PLOT is a guideline based off of what Wikipedia is not, and so it must be followed. Look at higher-level articles, like Link (The Legend of Zelda), which is an FA, for thoughts on how to structure a character article.
- WP:SELFPUB says self-published sources are okay (which would include Sonic Channel and the video games), but they can't be used for notability reasons, and third-party sources are preferred. See if you can find more third-party sources, this will also help with any notability issues.
- Read over WP:WIAGA for the GA criteria.
Hope that helps. Red Phoenix flame of life...protector of all... 15:13, 16 June 2008 (UTC)
- Thanks for the advice.Fairfieldfencer FFF 15:17, 16 June 2008 (UTC)
Rouge the Bat
What purpose does Team Dark pic serve? Ultra! 20:49, 17 June 2008 (UTC)

C-Class in the Sega Project
Just letting you know that the C-Class was ratified today. I've already added C-Class support to {{segaproject}}, so articles can now be assessed as C-Class. For your convenience, I'm going to clarify here what the C-Class is about, since there's a good chance you'll probably end up using it at some point:
C-Class articles fall between Start and B. B-Class articles should now be used for articles either close to or improving to GA status. B-class articles with substantial tags (pretty much any, but a couple fact tags are okay) should be reclassed as C-Class. Basically, the standard for B-Class articles is going to go up, but the standard for the Start-Class won't be changing. The C-Class helps to fill in that middle gap and find better articles among the massive B-Class. Red Phoenix flame of life...protector of all... 02:32, 20 June 2008 (UTC)
A big step for Wikiproject Sega
Hey, FFF. Today, WikiProject Sega has made a big step: we've successfully promoted something to featured status. List of Sega 32X games, which I worked on, became a featured list today. Maybe this will help to increase our reputation around Wikipedia. Just thought you might want to know. Red Phoenix flame of life...protector of all... 20:25, 23 June 2008 (UTC)
- Congrats. This guy who reviewed me said that if I was thinking of becoming an admin that I should write a featured article. I think this achievement improves your chances of becoming one.Fairfieldfencer FFF 22:20, 23 June 2008 (UTC)
- Hopefully it does. I'd certainly like to become an admin, and I think I'm the right person for the job, but I'm a little nervous about putting my name on a WP:RFA. If you ever feel like you're ready, I'd be willing to nominate you for adminship, since you're certainly a dedicated Wikipedian with good faith. Just remember that edit count doesn't measure the quality of your contributions, and it's what you do with your edits that makes you known. If you want, though, we can work on another list together and co-nominate it. I've got a couple in mind that we can fashion after List of Sega 32X games. That would give you some featured contribution, and I was about to start on another one anyway. Red Phoenix flame of life...protector of all... 04:19, 24 June 2008 (UTC)
- Why are you nervous? It's not like your nominating yourself for something really important. You'll just be able to do more stuff than the average Wikipedian, and most of the things you do will be the same. Being an admin might even get the Sega Project noticed with an admin being in charge, (I think there are quite a few admins at WikiProject: Video games and look how well that's done). I'd be an admin, but I'm not as familiar with the rules of Wikipedia as you are. In all honesty though; I'd don't see what's the big deal with being an admin. It doesn't change what you do on Wikipedia. But if you do put yourself up for nomination I'll back you up.Fairfieldfencer FFF 13:21, 24 June 2008 (UTC)
- In all honesty there isn't anything big about being an admin, it's just the access to more tools that can prove useful at times. Jimbo Wales even says so, and I'm inclined to agree with him. But, at WP:RFA there are some editors who do frown upon self-noms. At RFA, the standard for "consensus for support" is about 70% of all who make comments. I guess part of my concern is that I'm not sure I'm ready yet, and that until someone shows me that they think I am, I won't be. Of course, that's probably pretty irrational of me. I'll just have to put my name on one here before too long. Red Phoenix flame of life...protector of all... 14:29, 24 June 2008 (UTC)
- Well if they frown on self nominees, when you think you're ready I'll stick you on there.Fairfieldfencer FFF 14:32, 24 June 2008 (UTC)
- Don't worry about it. It's just some users, but if I'm really ready, a self-nom doesn't matter. If I do nominate myself, I'll let you know so you can comment. Red Phoenix flame of life...protector of all... 16:17, 24 June 2008 (UTC)

The Sega Project Newsletter: Issue 2
Wikipedia:WikiProject Sega/Newsletter/Issue2
Sonic Chronicles
It's not that I don't trust you - I do - it's just that that isn't good enough for an encyclopedic article. After all, how is anyone else who isn't a Wikipedia member supposed to know where the info comes from? Until we can find a more stable (i.e statically linkable) source, it just has to be left out of the article. Wikipedia isn't about having the latest and greatest information, it's about having the sourced content in the article and if we can't do that because of the Flash, perhaps we should just wait until it hits the appropriate magazines or news sites. Either the way, the citation needed tags indicate that we do need a referencable source. Removing them makes no sense. SynergyBlades (talk) 17:48, 24 June 2008 (UTC)
- It surely cannot be wise to include a reference that requires anyone who is independently verifying a source to jump through a minute's worth of hoops just to get to the information. It would certainly require a set of instructions in the cite itself which makes a mockery of citing using a web source. SynergyBlades (talk) 17:55, 24 June 2008 (UTC)
Edit warring
I'm sorry FFF, but I warned the other person and I have to be fair: You have been engaged in several edit wars on Miles "Tails" Prower, E-123 Omega, and others. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Please do not repeatedly revert edits, but use the talk page to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. If necessary, pursue dispute resolution. Cigraphix (talk) 13:46, 25 June 2008 (UTC)

Me Too!!! Sonic&Mario Fan (talk) 15:30, 26 June 2008 (UTC)
Hey
Hey, FFF. If it's okay, I'd like to give you some constructive criticism here not related to your editor review. User:Jonny2x4 made a pretty nasty comment about you on WT:VG, and instead of you reading it and taking it as a direct personal attack (which it's at least kind of angled that way, but not really), I thought I'd give you some opinions here.
Anyway, I heard that you're touting about being head of WP:SONIC. Well, to be honest, I would recommend that you not force that onto people. Remember it's a de facto consideration, not really a power. Even though you treat me as the de facto head of the Sega Project, and I mention that a couple times, I don't really push it on to people. That's because technically Wikipedia is an open project and there are no "leaders" or "heads". Just remember that.
Also, I do recommend that you read over WP:FICT. I know you disagree with a lot of what it says, but to be honest it's a good barometer of how notability works for fiction articles. Though it may be notable in the series, on Wikipedia you have to presume that (for lack of a better term) a complete idiot who knows nothing about the universe of the series is reading the article. That's just the way it works. Also, I think a good reading over WP:NOT will do you great help.
I know what it feels like to be a fan of something and hate to see it go down the drain, but sometimes it's what's best for the encyclopedia. See why I quit working with fiction a while ago? It's just too much to get tangled into. Good luck with whatever you decide to do, and by the way I left a reply to you on my talk page to our previous discussion. Thanks for your time, FFF. Red Phoenix flame of life...protector of all... 23:35, 26 June 2008 (UTC)
- Agreed. Besides, there's always the Sonic Wikia. You can go there if you want. ZeroGiga (Contact) 23:31, 27 June 2008 (UTC)
Discussion archived and restarting
Hey, FFF. Thought you might be interested to know that Krator archived the discussion, seeing that all the accusations on you were going nowhere. I've started a new section so we can pick up where we left off, and hopefully this time the editors can stay more reasonable. Krator has already warned them about that.

bug you again, but is there a way to save your name color or do you have type in the font color every time you type in a new talk message? Unknown the Hedgehog (talk) 00:01, 29 June 2008 (UTC)
- No, you don't have to type it in every time. What you do is this: you go to my preferences, (not mine yours) at the top of the page, (or any page) and go to the little rectangular type box, then you erase what's there then type in your chosen signature, then press the tiny little box underneath that says Raw signature, a little green tick will appear and once that happens just click save preferences. Now everytime you sign your name it'll appear like that.Fairfieldfencer FFF 09:53, 29 June 2008 (UTC)

Sonic character articles
Please stop trying to add the information back without any sort of backing. The current consensus of the project is to remove cruft from these articles, so that is how this is going to be. As I explained to you awhile back, this is happening, so please be prepared to get used to it. I really suggest moving to a Sonic or Sega wiki if this is really that unbearable.

This is the consensus. You can still stay here of your own free will, but how about you help out around here instead of fighting with them on this. And to TTN, be more civil to your speech. You should be more polite to him, not telling him to "GET OFF AND GO TO ANOTHER WIKI." Even though the wikia should be the place to go, this is still the encyclopedia that he should put his best in to contribute. He should just read over the rules and discussion a bit more, that's all.

The discussion has already happened and the result was to remove cruft. Now, we're just discussing what to do with the leftovers. Please, please, please, just use another wiki.

Do you have Super Smash Bros. Brawl? Cause if you do I was thinking that we can exchange Wii Friend codes and battle each other online. Unknown the Hedgehog 21:42, 2 July 2008 (UTC)

Re: What's up Dok
I've been maintaining a low profile, waiting for a lot of issues with Wikipedia to be sorted out, wikipedia is becoming an online variant of the dusty books, and I just want to wait and see what is actually allowed to be written about subjects (soon, I'm sure Video Game Article will contain nothing other than a list of who made the game, and what console it was first on!), and I was getting involved in to many fights with editors who fight dirty (hidding behind the rules) and refuse to see wikipedia as anything other than their personal site! I still do a small spot of editing, and I am hoping to come back to wikipedia soon (though most of the information that brought me to wikipedia, both as a reader and editor, are long gone, and on a Wikia somewhere, the web address of which I will never find), so to sum up, I was taking a brake from Wikipedia before I was tipped over the edge, but am coming back! Lol, and thank you for the censorship of 63.228.61.25's comments! Doktor Wilhelm 01:08, 4 July 2008 (UTC)
- Excellent! Thanks, FFF. Looks like once again we'll have three actives around the Sega Project, and a great friend to us both back at that. Speaking of which, things have kind of died down lately due to the Sonic cruft discussions being held at WT:VG. Got any ideas on how we can pick it up again? Red Phoenix flame of life...protector of all... 14:29, 4 July 2008 (UTC)
- For staters, your welcome about the censorship, I also reported him to an admin about his personal attacks. And the Sega Project has changed a little with a new Task Force and other things.Fairfieldfencer FFF 17:19, 4 July 2008 (UTC)
I'm not trying to be a dick here, but FFF, I'm going to ask you to get rid of that userbox. What you're doing is being pompous and arrogant with it. See, on Wikipedia, there's no real "leaders", but it's all done by consensus and people working together. You being head of the Sonic Task Force is a de facto consideration, meaning that it's by practice and custom, not by law. I would rather not see users get such a misconception that it's de jure (by law). This is why I don't do this with the Sega Project; it belongs to everyone that's in it, though I'm treated by you guys as the de facto leader. I'm not telling you to do this, as I don't have that right, but I'm just asking you. Red Phoenix flame of life...protector of all... 20:31, 4 July 2008 (UTC)
- I guess you don't want one then. Sure I'll delete it, problem is I don't know how. Until i figure out how I'll remove it from my userpage.Fairfieldfencer FFF 20:33, 4 July 2008 (UTC)
- First off, I've moved it to User:Fairfieldfencer/User Sonic TF Head so it's out of the template namespace. This is at least a little better. Now that it's in your userspace, you can have it deleted per the criteria for speedy deletion. Just put {{db}} on the page, and an admin will delete it shortly. Sorry to hit you with that, but I'm doing this for your own protection; remember the accusations you got in the first Sonic cruft discussion? I'd rather not have you flaunt this and let people rip you apart again. Red Phoenix flame of life...protector of all... 20:40, 4 July 2008 (UTC)
- Thanks for your consideration. I have proposed it for deletion. I guess I was getting a little too proud of myself. But I'm pretty sure the only reason you chose me was because there was no one else. If I fail as a leader at least now we've got the Dok to go in my place.Fairfieldfencer FFF 20:47, 4 July 2008 (UTC)
- Not just because it was only you, but because I know you were willing to do it and you're a very determined Wikipedian, which is good. But I think you've just got to reread on Wikipedia policies and learn them more. I used to be a lot like you, very inclusionist and very disagreeable. But after reading the policies and studying better articles, I became more moderate and less one-sided (I'm a part of the Association of Wikipedians Who Dislike Making Broad Judgments About the Worthiness of a General Category of Article, and Who Are in Favor of the Deletion of Some Particularly Bad Articles, but That Doesn't Mean They Are Deletionists and not just for the awesome acronym that comes with it). The one key lesson I had to learn was things don't always go the way you want them to on an encyclopedia, and while you can make good points, you have to live with it sometimes. Here's an example: I put up this AFD a week ago, and it ended in no consensus, and I really don't like this list. But I have to live with it because of the AFD not going my way. I think you'll find out someday what it takes to make a good Wikipedian, and that's when you'll be ready to be an administrator, if that's what you're hoping for at some point. Red Phoenix flame of life...protector of all... 21:00, 4 July 2008 (UTC)
- You've done a lot of good, don't think that you're not without qualifications. You work a lot more than I do, and that shows in your higher edit count by over 1000 edits. You've even adopted a new user, something I've never even touched (though I'd really like to and I'm looking into it.) And from reading your communications with User:Mysterious Nazo, I must say you've done a great job with him. Sometimes I kind of think of myself as a mentor for you, but I really haven't done the amount you've done with Nazo. All I do is try to give you a hand every now and then, and though we work together well and used to agree on a lot, it seems we disagree on more and more every day as I progress to an incrementalist point of view. By the time you get this, I'll probably have made a "Relations Chart" on my userpage, just something listing works with the Wikipedians I've done (I may also stick it on my rewritten bio page, not sure yet). If you're interested, you can check it out. Anyway, I'll be around, as always. Later. Red Phoenix flame of life...protector of all... 04:45, 5 July 2008 (UTC)

Sonic Task Force to fully activate after cruft discussions are over.
Hey, FFF. At the end of the cruft discussions, I think we'll be ready to make the Sonic Task Force fully operational. Until then, we'll keep working with the discussions at WT:VG. The reason for the delay is that we're smack dab in the middle of all of this and this is not the best time to activate this. Once it is active, though, I would like you to help encourage the members of the project to use the talk page of the task force and work to maintain the articles. Also, I will give you some space to write about the task force (and more, if you like) in the newsletter. Sorry to make you wait, but I think this is for the best for the task force, WikiProject Sega, and the Video games project, as well.

Hello FFF, why do you keep removing the bot orphan tagging on this image: Eggman_06.jpg? The image is not used in Wikipedia, and as such must be marked as an orphan, so that if it is not used in any articles it can be removed. Synergy/Blades (Talk) 14:05, 8 July 2008 (UTC)
NPOV
FFF, I'm sorry but you're views on WP:NPOV are flawed. To prove this I have to ask a question: If the article must take a NPOV on a subject where one party says it is notable and another says it is unworthy trivia, how do you cover both sides in a neutral way? By including the subject, the article takes the side of the party that says it is notable - that is not being neutral. This is why NPOV doesn't cover what makes it into WP and what doesn't - it only covers tone of article and coverage of sourced viewpoints revelant to the subject (like "should abortion be legal or not"). The viewpoints of "is it notable or not" are not relevant toward the subject, but toward the WP article covering the subject - there is also no source since WP cannot be a primary source. So NPOV doesn't cover the arguement of something being notable or not. Understand now? Cigraphix (talk) 15:51, 8 July 2008 (UTC)

Edit warring
You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Please do not repeatedly revert edits, but use the talk page to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. If necessary, pursue dispute resolution. --SarekOfVulcan (talk) 17:29, 14 July 2008 (UTC)

WP:AN/I is probably the best place to report issues you've been having with an admin, but you'd better go there prepared with specific examples of what you believe to be misconduct, or the results might not be pretty.

Hey, FFF. I've been away for a little while on Wikibreak so I could catch my breath and relax for a little bit.

- Nothing much really. Still talking about the merge, CBFan is putting up a good fight against it. Doktor Wilhelm is going to try and help you write a featured article. I finally finished the List of Dr. Eggman's creations article, still a few things to clean up though. Here's the current version. User:Fairfieldfencer/Sandbox I made an article on another wiki. Here it is. Most of it I just copied from an old revision of Blaze's article. I uploaded an image of myself. And SLJCOAAATR 1, Sonic&Mario Fan and I are trying to help out the Sonic News Network. I uploaded my work on E-123 Omega on to there as well.Fairfieldfencer FFF 17:44, 16 July 2008 (UTC)
- Wow, you've done a lot of work with that list. A suggestion for it: even if it's later deemed unsuitable for Wikipedia (not saying it is because I'm not sure myself), then make sure to save it for Wikia because they could use that info. Heck, they could use it anyway ;) . Sorry that I have been on break lately, I just felt that Wikipedia was more work than it has been lately (and yes, I do it for fun, even writing Good Articles and lists are fun despite the source hunts and stuff). Hopefully I'll be back in a couple days after letting my head clear up. In the mean time, I've been playing video games like Phantasy Star Online and Phantasy Star Online Episode III, which, coincidentally, are made by Sonic Team lol. Anyway, I'll be around every now and then until I'm off Wikibreak, and then I'll be editing again. Red Phoenix flame of life...protector of all... 19:20, 18 July 2008 (UTC)

Why are some people trying to squeeze everything into one article lately?

- To change colours just type in the one you want on Wikipedia. In the article you'll see little templates. On the templates is a thing called a hex triplet, or web colour. It's a sort of category for colours on the internet. For example: <font color=#007FFF>this</font> makes this. You'll want magenta since Rouge wears that colour a lot. Oh, and when your putting userboxes on talk pages or userpages, put this after them. {{clear}} That'll stop them from getting jumbled up. And you can also change colours like this. <font color=Magenta>Rouge the Bat</font> Rouge the BatFairfieldfencer FFF
No. Your supposed to press the show preview button next to the save button underneath the edit window. Then you copy the info and paste it to here.

What's the idea of warning ME not to do personal attacks when Super Badnik was the one doing it? I was meerly using my "Only idiots call other people idiots" rule and firing it back at her.

Lessons for Talon & Person!
Lesson #4
Ok, we'll start out with external links. An external link is kind of like an internal link, but it leads you to another site. Example: http://sonic.wikia.com/wiki/E-123_Omega You can find the information at the top of the web page your on, or you could make a tab and hover over it to get the information at the bottom of the thing that appears. Now, there are a few ways you can do this. First the one I just did, which can be done by clicking the picture of Earth at the top of the edit window, but you can also put two of these at the sides [ Just one on each side though. And if you make a space after the information you can change the name. Example: E-123 Omega at the Sonic News Network. I want Talon to add a link to Mephiles the Dark on the Sonic News Network and Person to do one of Rouge the Bat on the same site. After that you can ask me what you want to learn. Oh, and please watch this page so you know when you have lessons.Fairfieldfencer FFF 11:31, 22 July 2008 (UTC)
- Thanks for taking over Triple F. I appreciate it. They're gonna be great in your hands! Skeletal S.L.J.C.O.A.A.A.T.R. 16:01, 22 July 2008 (UTC)
Talon
Even though I am not a member on that site I was still able to get it. Here is Mephiles.--Talon (talk) 13:50, 22 July 2008 (UTC)
- Very good Talon. Now choose your next lesson. Oh, and try copy and pasting links. It's a lot quicker, especially when linking YouTube videos.Fairfieldfencer FFF 14:10, 22 July 2008 (UTC)
- Do you mind showing us how to make user boxes? --Talon (talk) 14:19, 22 July 2008 (UTC)
- When I make a userbox what I do is this: I go to a userbox I've already made, (try User:Fairfieldfencer/E-123 Omega), and I make changes using the preview button, so I'm changing it but not saving it. Then I just copy and paste to the link I've chosen, like when your making an article or redirect. So you would type in User:Talon the cat/whatever, then just paste the info. To change colours just type in the one you want on Wikipedia. In the article you'll see little templates. On the templates is a thing called a hex triplet, or web colour. It's a sort of category for colours on the internet. For example: <font color=#007FFF>this</font> makes this. If you were making a Rouge userbox, you'd want magenta since Rouge wears that colour a lot. Oh, and when your putting userboxes on talk pages or userpages, put this after them. {{clear}} That'll stop them from getting jumbled up. And you can also change colours like this. <font color=Magenta>Rouge the Bat</font> Rouge the Bat To choose a specific colour, like a shade of Magenta, just look at the colour at the top of the template, and that's the one you've chosen. If you want to experiment try using a Sandbox. If you don't know how to make one it's simple enough. There are 2 ways of making one. First: You stick /Sandbox, anywhere on your userpage. Second: Click the following red link. User:Talon the cat/Sandbox User:Person373/Sandbox And add the information, do the same thing with the other option.Fairfieldfencer FFF 14:39, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

- Lose the nowiki and you've got the layout of one. You just to add that information to something like this. User:Talon the cat/? Then you've made a userbox. Now try making a real one of something.

Lesson #5
Today we're going to make redirects. A redirect is when you're looking for something by one name, but the article goes by another name that means the same thing. Example: Sonic World Adventure leads to Sonic Unleashed. That's a redirect. Here's the basic layout of one: #REDIRECT [[Whatever]] Ignore the <nowiki>. You can also make one by clicking on #R at the top of the edit window. You will make your redirects in the following red links. /Talon /Person I want Talon to do one that leads to Sonic Riders, and Person to Sonic Unleashed.

- lulz much! Tikal=Drunken Fairy. Tikal fans must LOVE you! lol. I haven't read any of those books. I'm more of a manga type of guy. And, Mary Alice Young is me. I'm impostering her. Mary Alice Young, comes from the story teller of the show Desperate Housewives, a she is the dead friend of the main cast, and is telling us their lifes after her death. The time of Mary being born 8:15 am on 8/23/1980 being derived from Lost (tv series) where the "Numbers" are 4, 8, 15, 16, 23, and 42. Mary's boyfriend being Shawn Spencer who is derived from Psych. Her favorite numbers being 108 & 305 which are also from Lost. 305 is also part of the address of my PA house. My fake Mary lives in Washington DC ,where this Scott Jenkins that I'm getting info from, went on vacation to a few monthes ago. Mary shall claim that he seems familiar to him. She will later reveal that she is a psychic, and predict Scott's death, thus, being a reference to Dead Zone, and she will claim of vissions of Shinigami with books. This being inspired by Death Note. As fr the information that I need from Scott, I'll tell you that when I get some answers...
