Since Shadow the Hedgehog is not a relevant subject for a wikipedia article. I dispute it's usefulness as a source of credible information. After all much like the sonic the Hedgehog Article it smacks with Fan Fiction unrelated to the video game franchise, and if the Sonic Article was not semi protected I would nominate that for deletion to!
P.S. To the writers of this Article, you need to grow up and lay of the weed because it's clearly slowed your mind! 96.2.110.63 ( talk) 01:38, 5 June 2013 (UTC)
I was not surprised that my efforts to have the article deleted failed. So if I can't have it deleted then I shall re-construct it so that it better educates the reader about the game franchise. What does alot of the glorified fan fiction in the article have to do with the game's marketability or impact on the user in general?
As always I expect the typical resistance from other writers but they should carefully review the revised article and see for themselves, the obvious difference.
One should not think that they can somehow bully me out of the system. I do not and will never recant o the statements I made about the individuals who crafted the article and my continued efforts with the "Shadow The Hedgehog" Article shall speak for themselves.

Okay, so I know this is totally irrelevant to Shadow himself, but I've seen so many things about Shadow having closets full of MK60's! I completely disagree with this. He may have a gun in the Shadow the Hedgehog game, but that doesn't mean he loves it. It's probably the most effective way to kill the Black Arms except Black Doom. Although, I'm not so sure since I never played the game XD. Basically, guns can be more efficient, and unlike chaos control and all those other moves, guns don't require energy, except aiming and pulling the trigger and reloading. Other than that, no physical force for the wielder whatsoever. I personally agree with his chaos abilities being the most powerful. But seriously guys, an MK60 for a wife?! Really!? It's so stupid! And YES, I have seen such articles about that! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Omega Yagami ( talk • contribs) 00:46, 20 October 2016 (UTC)

So I noticed the transparent background on the infobox image is no longer functioning for some very odd reason, it was working several days ago. I uploaded two other pictures and tested them to see if it was a problem with the pictures, but it isn't. For some reason, the infobox image does not use transparent backgrounds anymore, and this is very confusing. Anyone know the solution? Coda16 04:07, 29 June 2018 (UTC)

Hey, it's me again. I just noticed you had the Shadow article up for GA, so I thought I would take a look. The article is looking pretty good so far. I'll look over it a bit more soon, and bring up any concerns here before passing this.

In 2010, DeviantArt user "cmara" released a webcomic depicting Shadow in a romantic relationship with Shrek, the title character of the DreamWorks film series. According to Kotaku's Nathan Grayson, the comic paired the two because "if Shrek was the big screen embodiment of nu-millennium toilet garbage, Shadow the Hedgehog—with his hilariously unfitting blend of guns and angst in a colorful world of fast animals in clown shoes—was his video game bride". ""
Is this section really necessary for the understanding and reception of Shadow the Hedgehog? While the other examples in the section are from pop/internet culture, this particular example seems rather fringe and irrelevant. — Preceding unsigned comment added by NovaAmm ( talk • contribs) 04:22, 22 January 2020 (UTC)

This has gone back and forth so I thought I would take it to the talk page. MOS:FIRST, in regards to the first sentence of an article, states: If the article is about a fictional character or place, say so. I replaced "is a character ..." to "is a fictional character ..." but has been reverted the few times added it. Is there any specific reason why we should ignore the MOS on this specific character article and not state it is fictional in the first sentence? I do not see one.

@ TheJoebro64 @ SONICFRONTIERSA I can't help but notice that you've been going back and forth with the image on this page.
