Talk:Sally Acorn

Massive Editing
I've just finished editing the page. I'll continue to make some minor updates here and there. Dylanlip

Image Change
I'm currently in the process of adding an image gallery to the bottom of the page. The data file image can stay there while the new image can be both in the gallery and be the main image. It's better because of a few reasons:

1.Newer fans will not immediately recognize the image, while they will be able to identify the newer look.

2.Having an image gallery will end controversies because the images will appear at least once and offer the chance of a more thorough description of the images.

3.The Data file image is outdated and does not comply with the art of any issue past 90.

4.The main image is supposed to represent the animal the article is for. A recent image is needed to keep the article updated to fit with the continuity. Any older images can be put in the gallery along with the new one.

Please read this before changing Sally's main image to the data file one on this page. Dylanlip 10:37 29 Sep 07


 * The data file image is a much better design and gives a far better example of the character than said new image. Additioanlly, a gallery on pages makes the layout less than stellar. I will allow the main image to be one by J. Axer or Spaz, because their styles give a much more realistic depiction of the characters. If you want to show numerous versions, imbed the images throughout the articles as thumbnails. It makes the layout much better. Lastly, articles should be written from the perspective of someone from their universe, not from ours. In articles, unless in the background information section, don't say things like "In the comics, Sally was a brown squirrel". - Dimitri the Echidna 19:25, 29 September 2007 (UTC)

Edit war
Do you love to aggravate me? Her supposed 'death' is not backround information. Most of the article is 'Backround Information', not just her fake death. Plus, read my post here:http://www.bumbleking.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=393&start=30 concerning my position on the data file images. Also, the gallery is good at the end. There are too many versions of sally to be placed seperately in the article. One central image area would save text space and would decrease the Bandwith. Plus, people can quickly and effectively compare versions in the gallery. Let the Sally page be a test page for my concept of the wiki, and we can see if people enjoy mine more or yours. If mine is liked more, it should be done for the whole wiki. If not, then your style will reign supreme. Dylanlip 15:35 29 Sep 07
 * Um, this is a wiki. If you put something up on here, you should expect it to get edited mercilessly.  Eventually, there will be consensus on how things should look, but you shouldn't expect this to be some sort of contest on whose "concept" is best.


 * You never know. When I start editing stuff, I could blow both of your "concepts" out of the water.  ;) Carl Fox 20:58, 29 September 2007 (UTC)

My Opinion
Well, I tried to get my point across about using the Tracy design and possibly trying out my gallry in the articles, but I was told that it is a wiki and my ideas don't count or don't fit in with the wiki.

Sally and Bunnie's new design are from 177. Again, the new image better depicts Sally. She probably lost/gained some weight and grew a few inches.Which makes the old image obsolete for the current depicting image of her. Also, wouldn't it make sense to put the current version of her as her main image? It would most depict the recent data of the comic canon and would please everyone who is against the data files. Knocking out two birds with one stone.

I am a fan of Archie Sonic and have almost every issue. I will not be told that my views don't count. I AM A DEDICATED FAN AND MY OPINION COUNTS!!! I will not be told otherwise!!! Dylanlip 16:51 02 Sep 07


 * Dylanlip, I never once said anything close to "your views/opinions don't count". On the contrary, I've stated the opposite, saying that contributors like you are helping to expand the site's content. The reason I find myself reverting a lot of your changes is because you do not follow this website's Manual of Style policy which requires articles to be written in the Mobius point of view and in done in past tense. The reason her "death" info was moved was because it was the wrong narrative language and was also not part of the story canon, because the plot ideas were pulled at the last minute.


 * I am going to add a new template for image pages, which will be mandatory for the images to remain on this site. It will require you to put in the necessary info such as the artist who drew it, the issue it was in, who owns the rights to it (in this case Archie comics and SEGA), etc. etc. etc. On the actual article pages, do not have captions saying for example "Sally from issue #177" because that goes against the site's Manual of Style and is real-world perspective. The image page will include that information.


 * Lastly, the idea of a "concept page" and seeing whose style is more preferred is not going to happen. Everyone shall be allowed to contribute to articles, but if the edits to not follow this site's Manual of Style, they will be removed. If someone continues to make changes that do not follow the article guidelines, then it will be considered vandalism and should it happen frequently enough, pages will undergo temporary protection. That is what happened in the case of both the Sonic and Sally pages. These are the rules of this site, so read 'em and get used to them. - Dimitri the Echidna 04:12, 6 October 2007 (UTC)

Just asking
umm before i found this wiki i used to look for sonic stuff an info on wikipedia when i opened the sally article once there it said something about her being kidnaped by nack (wich i think is mentioned her) and that she contacted rouge an rouge sent her shadow to save her is that by any chance true? cause the comic says sonic an mina saved her,(aslo i saw that part erased a few days after i read it). thanks --Widow anestasia hedgebat 15:46, 27 December 2008 (UTC)


 * Whoever erased that rubbish did the right thing. Someone must have either submitted fanfiction or mixed up stories. Shadow has never rescued any princesses in canonical stories.Gazordenplatt 23:27, 27 December 2008 (UTC)

Video games
Do any of you guys every think Sally (and maybe the freedom fighters) will appear in a video game. And not as cameos like in Sonic Spinball. And if so, do you think Katherine Soucie's voice would still sound good on Sally like it did in the old Sonic the hedgehog SatAm cartoon? MrWoof 21:27 March, 20


 * This is probably the closest Sally ever came to being in a video game, aside from her cameo in Sonic Spinball. Given how long it has been since Sonic SatAM was around and how SEGA is probably never going to bring in characters from the comics into the games, I'd say she has almost no chance at all of making it into any games. Same applies for the others. - Dimitri the Echidna 02:33, 21 March 2009 (UTC)

Well, I sure hope she comes back to the video games, along with the freedom fighters. Truth be told, Sonic games are getting lame because they all have the same story: Eggman does something wrong. Sonic has to go to crazy zones and get 7 chaos emeralds. He turns into super sonic and fights eggman. He wins. End of game. I sure hope that changes soon...really, really soon.
