I really wasn't sure where to put this, but I decided to chuck it here since it seems to fit. Look at this: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_characters_from_Sonic_the_Hedgehog_%28games%29Notice alot of the major characters have been squashed into a single phucking list. Also notice the tag, which seems be composed of idiocy for characters to be merged. First of all, Rouge has been a major character in every game since she appeared, as have Cream, Blaze, Silver, and the E-100 series. The sad thing about this is, is that the merges come from the same person who merged Meta Knight and Dedede's articles into a list. Metal Sonic is ALSO a major character, and has appeared in a multitude of games regardless of what role he plays. CHAOS was the MAIN VILLAIN in Sonic Adventure for f**k's sakes. Wikipedia is getting out of hand now and is shoving its own slogan up its ass. When you allow anyone to edit it, of course nuts like this will happen. I also recommend reading the Talk page for that article. It's as full of it as the list itself is. Sorry for the rant and the rather odd place to put this, but Wikipedia has to stop what it's doing. Now.

(Quacker, feel free to move this if you want)
Yeah, the Babylonians did play a major role. But apparently, characters like Metal Sonic don't meet notability standards.
Here's an idea: Move every single fictional character into a "List of fictional characters" page, and every famous person into a "List of famous people who lived from the beginning of time to whenever we die". That's obviously what Wikipedia will come too.

There's a Zelda wiki, a Final Fantasy wiki, Mario wiki... perhaps there is a Sonic Wiki as well?

Nah, I suppose this is as good a place as any.
I agree about Rouge. I really do. Frankly, I think that any character that has had more then a single appearance or two needs their own entry.
Not so sure about Chaos. He was important to Sonic Adventure, but [pretty much any other appearence can be chalked up to a cameo or reference. Then again, if you cover the Archie, Sonic X, Sonic X Archie, and Fleetway refrences, you have plenty to pad out a page.
The Sonic Wiki should read like the Super Mario Wiki, only less fannon. (Mushroom World, my Ass...)

For Sonic knowledge, I pretty much use this site anymore. Everything is well detailed, and so far, when I check other sites, I haven't bumped into conflicting data.

THIS IS WHY I NEVER TRUST WIKIPEDIA! OMFG THEY HAVE FRIGGIN OMOCHAO ON THERE AND NOT TD?! Wikipedia is messed up because it consists of articles about random scrap written by complete retards that know very little about the subject they are writing on. NEVER TRUST IT!

Tails Doll used to have his own full-fledged article until it was deleted for 'vandalism' which they could just fix themselves. Then they gave TD a small merged article and then deleted that too. Anyway, I only use Wikipedia for school (Or when I wanna check up on how well a reception a game or movie got)
