I've listed this article for Peer review in hopes of getting this game, Sonic Adventure 2 and Sonic the Hedgehog (1991 video game) to GA status. A little bit needs to be cleaned up, but further suggestions here would be appreciated. Thanks, Lord Sjones23 (talk - contributions) 01:36, 5 March 2013 (UTC)
- SA1 and 2 is going to take serious digging through websites and magazines. You'll have to go through stuff like this and see if any of that can be traced back to legitimate sources. You may want to go the extra mile and ask the article creators for their references. « Ryūkotsusei » 09:45, 5 March 2013 (UTC)
- Okay, will do. Lord Sjones23 (talk - contributions) 00:07, 12 March 2013 (UTC)
- I'll second Ryu - Digging through magazine sources was quite helpful in revamping Sonic R, and its certainly easier to find scans online when its such a mainstream series with active fansites and whatnot. Sergecross73 msg me 13:40, 12 March 2013 (UTC)
- Serge's comments
I'll keep adding to this as I come across things. Hopefully this is okay, I haven't really done any of these before (though this isn't very active so far, so I doubt I'm stepping on anyone's feet...)
- The lead mentions the game being the sixth installment of the series. Personally, I try keeping labels like that out, especially considering this series, where the fanbase is always arguing and contesting what constitutes a "main" or "spinoff" entry. I don't think anyone would in good faith argue that SA is a spinoff, but rather, I think it could lead to extra arguing/edit warring in the future over whether or not it's the "sixth entry". (Does Sonic CD count? Does Sonic 3D Blast count? What about Game Gear games? Which ones? etc etc etc) Sergecross73 msg me 13:40, 12 March 2013 (UTC)
- Okay then, I am going to remove that information from the lead section. Lord Sjones23 (talk - contributions) 21:19, 13 March 2013 (UTC)
- In the character section, it says something along the line as "Amy being Sonic's love interest". Shouldn't it be the other way around though - Sonic being Amy's love interest? I didn't look up what the source says, as it traces back to the manual and I don't have that on-hand at the moment, but I'm just going off of what I remember from the game (and series as a whole.)

- Changed wording. Lord Sjones23 (talk - contributions) 21:19, 13 March 2013 (UTC)
- With a game as mainstream and popular as this, I think we should sub out some of the lesser-known sources in the reception section with different reviews. (If if "Classic Game Room" or "Gamer 2.0" are deemed reliable, something I'm unsure of, there's no reason to settle for them when every video game review source under the sun reviewed this game.

Thanks for taking my advice to heart. I can help with point #3 in the future too. Sergecross73 msg me 00:53, 14 March 2013 (UTC)
- No problem. Also, UGO, 1UP, and Gamespy are going down soon, so we may archive the sources where necessary. Lord Sjones23 (talk - contributions) 22:25, 14 March 2013 (UTC)
