Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (16-bit)[edit]

Been trying to improve the article over the past couple of days and I think I've hit a wall on what to do next. I want to get this to at least GA at some point.

Points that (I think) need to be addressed:

  • Get rid of credits section - If anything it is is REALLY needed then it can probably be implemented into Development
  • Last paragraph of the Sonic and Knuckles section, doesn't really fit
  • Releases section - I didn't delete this because it seemed to fit into the article quite well. It's short and provides all the necessary information. I don't think it should go into detail.
  • Maybe make the reception bigger (Not sure what else I can say though)
  • Story section - Is it too in-universe?

Please comment on those and post any other comments you have, they are gladly welcomed. Crimsonfox 18:50, 21 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'm no expert on getting articles to GA or FA, so I'm not going there. One thing that does immediately stick out is that the reception section is extremely short, particularly as this is arguably one of the most important Sonic games. The references refer to websites, but at the time of the game's release the bulk of the relevant information would be locked up in magazines - some research in this area would prove most useful for a representative article.

The platforms section in the infobox is a pain to read. --Mika1h (talk) 21:04, 5 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I have a few ideas:

  • This article is pretty good about the FAQ-like information being kept to a minimum, but there are a few places that it goes into a little too much detail, such as button presses.
  • I agree with Crimsonfox on the Sonic and Knuckles section not fitting. It would possibly help to shorten it and possibly link to Sonic and Knuckles, which I believe has a section on it already. I might be mistaken, so you'd probably want to check first.
  • The infobox platform section is quite difficult to read.
  • The Time Travel section is a bit of a sore thumb. While intriguing, it has no sources or citations, which makes it slightly dubious. However, it probably wouldn't be too hard to locate a website which addresses this.

Hope that helps. RedZionX 16:45, 6 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
