Doctor Eggman received a peer review by Wikipedia editors, which is now archived. It may contain ideas you can use to improve this article.

Theodore Roosevelt

Under Concept and inspiration it says "A caricature of Theodore Roosevelt was among the proposed designs". There is no source for this on the page, and there is no evidence (that I can find) that he is based on Roosevelt that links back to Sega. Was there originally a source for this? Is this simply a rumor? This needs looking into. 2.126.43.45 (talk) 23:38, 12 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move 3

The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: consensus not to move the page at this time, per the discussion below. Dekimasuよ! 07:26, 1 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Doctor Eggman → Eggman (character) – because the character was renamed to just a simply Eggman since the Sonic Boom series. Eggman191 (talk) 20:42, 23 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Give that Sonic Boom just started broadcasting earlier this month, that doesn't suddenly overturn years of references to Dr. Eggman or Dr. Robotnik. —Farix (t | c) 01:22, 24 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose It's way too soon. I think that we should wait at least the next game (at the very earliest) to see if dropping of doctor is permanent before such a move is even considered.--69.157.253.160 (talk) 05:25, 24 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose – Way too recent to make such a change, and anyway, the common name for the character still probably remains as "Doctor Eggman". --V2Blast (talk) 07:57, 24 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I have to oppose as well. It's just too soon. —PC-XT+ 10:26, 24 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The above discussion is preserved as an archive of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on this talk page or in a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.

Nickname

Please approve the PINGAS nickname for Eggman. The Web have a lot of information about it. DO NOT MODIFY IT! Natsume96 (talk) 14:53, 25 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Nicknames need reliable sources to verify their veracity. Youtube and a Russian blog are not reliable sources. Perhaps this character is referred to by this nickname by certain players/individuals, but this is not an official nickname, nor is it widely used, and I could find no RS which agree with this. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 14:54, 25 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

It's not blog. It's a self - made Wiki. And stop your bloody vandalism. Natsume96 (talk) 14:57, 25 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

That's virtually the same thing - no editorial oversight, therefore not reliable. Please read the guideline at WP:RS. You're currently in violation of the WP:3RR policy, so you should really stop edit-warring. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 15:02, 25 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

This is a Last Chinese Warning: Stop vandalism, otherwise you'll be blocked from editing without further warning. Natsume96 (talk)

No reliable source has been given for the so-called nickname. Based on Wikipedia's WP:V and given that the editor inserting the rather pejorative nickname inability to WP:PROVEIT via reliable sources, I have reverted the edit. —Farix (t | c) 16:03, 25 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The main antagonist

Dr. Eggman is the main antagonist of Sonic Heroes, not Metal Sonic. --24.251.29.163 (talk) 07:59, 30 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Mike Pollock redirect

Why does Mike Pollock's Wikipedia page now redirect here? Mike Pollock is a long-time voice actor with a huge resume of credits to his name besides just Doctor Eggman. It may be his best-known role, but it's just one of many.

His name is probably on several non-Sonic related anime and video game pages, and clicking on it will just nonsensically redirect back here to Doctor Eggman. 69.204.209.48 (talk) 18:19, 11 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

eggmans other english voice actors

Why is there no mention of any of Eggman's older English voice actors? Like Deem Bristow who voiced him in Sonic Adventure 1 and 2. It seems like a weird omission. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.23.76.102 (talk) 07:41, 28 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

"Robotnik"

- means in Slavic languages "worker" This is the "working-class" - the so named "communism" was based upon :)

pingas
