@BarntToust: I've taken the liberty of moving the hooks on that page to this one. For what it's worth, I read the article after seeing it at WP:GARC and the bit about the gold script stuck out; I therefore propose ALT7: ... that a cast member's script for Sonic the Hedgehog 3 cost $100,000 to print?--Launchballer 21:49, 27 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
User:Launchballer I prefer main. Provocative beats impressive in my mind. BarntToust 22:14, 27 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
And mainly because of the fact there's one opportunity to give the idea of Latinas being Shadow's thing a chance to show up on the main page. I could see Jeff Fowler going to GA rather easily and getting a dyk with the concept of him giving the script, and if Jim Carrey were to get to GA, a DYK could be produced of him receiving the script. No other relevant, notable articles for Latina—Shadow business to be included in. BarntToust 22:20, 27 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I think that the idea of Latinas in the DYK is best because of its genuine uniqueness to this article. Jim Carrey's costly script, I can think of two other places where that would work.

...that a script for a Jim Carrey movie cost $100k to print?

that... it cost Jeff Fowler $100k to print a script for Jim Carrey?

On that note, it is impossible to include anything, period, on Shadow the Hedgehog's DYK because it's already a good article. Only other place where anything about Latinas could be written. That's my standpoint, considering the opportunity and uniqueness of Shadow liking Latinas. BarntToust 22:30, 27 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Remezcla

Above is a more concise submission that I'd like to put as final for my viewpoint. BarntToust 22:37, 27 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • The way this is framed now feels like it'd fall afoul of WP:DYKFICTION. I think that the other issue with this hook, both the original and revised versions, is that it doesn't meet WP:DYKINT- someone with no special knowledge of the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise won't necessarily know who Shadow the Hedgehog is, or why it would be interesting or unusual if he loved Latinas. The idea of Jim Carrey getting a gold script to reprise his role, though, is more likely to be perceived as generally unusual and novel even if someone has never heard of Sonic before. silviaASH (inquire within) 23:00, 27 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
... that Sonic the Hedgehog 3 makes its character Shadow love Latinas because the film's director wanted an homage to Sonic fandom shitposting?
There we go, this one technically works within DYKFICTION. But I see where the 100k gold script part falls much more securely within the lines. I'd be chill with either one, be it this one or ALT 7 though given this explanation. BarntToust 23:05, 27 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Just a comment, but I think the fact about Jim Carrey and the gold ink would make the most interesting hook. The fact itself has gone viral, so it's clearly something people find interesting. Therefore, I think the most interesting hook would be:
    ALT9: ... that Jim Carrey said he might return to acting if "the angels bring some sort of script that's written in gold ink"... then returned for Sonic the Hedgehog 3?

  • Looks like the hook discussion above has not come with a review. To cover the non-hook aspects, the article was promoted to GA shortly before the nom, it is clearly long enough. A QPQ was done albeit quite briefly. The GAN has a sourcing spot-check, earwig is clear, and I haven't found copyvio in a quick look. This shitposting hook variations seem to check out. The gold ink one seems slightly wrong though, in the article as well as the hook: the sources says the director thinks the script is "now worth about a hundred thousand dollars", not that it cost $100,000.

Yeah we've gotten to the point where the collective wall of discussion has made this DYK just too much of a text-headache for most anyone to want to wade through to review.
Alt 10 is:
This frames the thing in a way that should be good to pass relevant guidelines. My final offer for the DYK. BarntToust 07:04, 9 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I've edited the sentence about the script. Given no further objections, ALT10. CMD (talk) 11:16, 14 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Game/Movie redirect thing

Sonic the Hedgehog 3 has a link at the top to Sonic the Hedgehog 3 (film) but Sonic the Hedgehog 3 (film) doesn't link to Sonic the Hedgehog 3 in the same way, what is up with that? 159.196.169.230 (talk) 02:27, 30 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The "hatnote", as it is called, is only needed if the article title can have multiple meanings. In the case of "Sonic the Hedgehog 3", that article title can either mean the video game or the movie, so the hatnote is there to direct readers to the right topic if they are on the wrong article. However, the title "Sonic the Hedgehog 3 (film)" only has one possible meaning (the movie), so it doesn't need a hatnote. If someone were to make a second movie with the same name as "Sonic the Hedgehog 3", then maybe we might need a hatnote, but in this case, there is only one movie that exists with that name. For more information, see our guideline at Wikipedia:Hatnote § Disambiguating article names that are not ambiguous. Mz7 (talk) 02:57, 30 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

july 2023 filming date???

most of the alleged late july filming screenshots actually appear to have been from knuckles' production in june 2023, and reports of sonic 3 filming then all seem to be largely by unofficial soruces. the ski lodge shown in the july 2023 reports is a location from knuckles and never appears in sonic 3.

Never remove the animation comparison between game and movie on this page.

It looks so amazing! Never take it off. ~2025-40774-31 (talk) 02:55, 16 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
