Editing Talk:Dr. Eggman

For these Sonic character articles, would it be overkill if I put up their official heights, weights, and ages? Or, for this particular article, that it was essentially revealed that his legal name is Dr. Ivo Robotnik, with Dr. Eggman being an alias, for the full name of Dr. Ivo "Eggman" Robotnik? I'll have to search down the source for this, as it was exceedingly obscure, but we DO know that at least Robotnik is his legal name given that his grandfather and cousin also carry the Robotnik moniker. Sorry if I'm going overkill, it's just I'm a HUGE Sonic fan as well as a Mario fan and want to know what are the limits of things I could put up in these Sonic character articles. {{User:Dinosaur bob/sig}} 14:07, 5 November 2007 (EST)
: Unless these informations are stated in the Olympic game, don't put it.

::Thanks! I want to help, but I've been stung by being too over-eager before. Wanted to avoid repeating that mistake. ;) {{User:Dinosaur bob/sig}} 16:18, 5 November 2007 (EST)
:::Though if there's a Sonic Wiki, you can probably be allowed to post a link to that site's profile of Eggman/Robotnik (the Star Wars and Star Trek wikis have a similar policy regarding each other). [[User:Thanos6|Thanos6]] 07:40, 6 November 2007 (EST)

==Re: Dr. Eggman's age==

How are the comics canon to the games? You have just produced false information about a character in game. Perhaps you can tag the article mentioning that his age in the comics are around 50, but official sources list his age as unknown at this point. [[User:Robotnik|Robotnik]]
:See [[MarioWiki:Coverage|this]]. Essentially, no one source is "more official" than another. {{User:Mario4Ever/sig}}

Thanks. However this rule seems to be very convoluted when it comes to other franchises that have set rules. So, I can safely mention that Mario is being held in Zone Jail in the Sonic Universe series because the official writer of the series, Ian Flynn wrote about it on the SU blog.

== Dr Eggman speed ==

One of the section says that he's unusually fast. But is that true? There has to be a video backing this claim up. In Mario and Sonic at 2009 Olympics game, he is noticebly slow just like Bowser. --[[User:GamerBoy1070|GamerBoy1070]] ([[User talk:GamerBoy1070|talk]]) 20:09, August 9, 2023 (EDT)
:The stats themselves (assuming they reflect in-game performance; I doubt they are this wildly inaccurate, especially Bowser has a very low speed stat) do show a high speed stat, but claiming it as "unusual" is a bit of an arguable value statement because Winter games has also a high stat, and most other games are average. Only one game I've seen is low. I just provided a straightforward summary. Whenever it's "unusual" or not, the stats and context of other games in the series will tell. {{User:Mario/sig}}
::The stats difference between the DS and the Wii versions is very confusing. What was Nintendo thinking that time?
