The following is a list of commonly-encountered References issues.
 +
 +
*'''Notability:''' Most published or aired references to Sega are included. However, particularly in the [[References to Sega/Internet|Internet]] category, we require a certain level of notability for new entries.
 +
*'''Sponsorships:''' Any officially-sponsored references, such as award shows or motorsports events, belong in [[Sponsorships]].
 +
*'''Recurring references:''' Any commonly-recurring references, such as a character in a television series, only need their first appearance listed. Ensure to note that said reference is a recurring one.
 +
*'''Multi-game shows:''' Any television series which cover numerous games by different companies, like ''[[wikipedia:GameCenter CX|GameCenter CX]]'', only need their first reference covered. Ensure to list any future references in the same listing.
 +
*'''Hardware in ''Sonic'' references:''' If a reference features someone playing a ''Sonic'' game, and it shows them using hardware required to play the game (like a [[Control Pad (Mega Drive)]] or [[Game Gear]]), that reference doesn't need to be copied here as well.

*References to Sonic in sports that aren't sponsorships (including wrestling)

*Rename to Film, Television, and Web?
*Commercials and Sponsorships

*Make a distinction between References and Sponsorships (may need content migrated between articles)?
*Ensure all files are hosted at their appropriate websites; Sega/Sonic/CDN.

*Limit entries by notability?
*Ensure all Reference article entries that feature both a Sonic and a non-Sonic reference have all refs listed on both their Sega and Sonic Retro entries.
 
*Reformat multiple-ref entries as nested ones like the Sonic Retro page (if possible.)
 
*So the reason Wreck-It Ralph's section doesn't mention the ''[[Hang-On]]'' inspired full-body taikan stuff is because that's such a popular shape for that type of hardware that it needs mentioning elsewhere. Which brings me to: This article needs brief summaries on "generic references" to very popular Sega things... i.e. the Hang-On style of sit-down motorcycle cabinet was so popular and widespread that pretty much anytime you see a fictional arcade with "sit-down motorcycle games", they're almost always a Hang-On "reference" (at least through inspiration.) The Music references article will need the same thing. So short of listing every piece of media featuring Hang-On-like sit-down motorcycle cabs, we can keep it to a brief section with a few examples and maybe an inline image.
 
*For both this article and its Sonic Retro equivalent, make a brief section on Sonic's appearances in general video game history books (because we're not including them otherwise.)
 
*Mark which references are product placements.

References guide

The following is a list of commonly-encountered References issues.

  • Notability: Most published or aired references to Sega are included. However, particularly in the Internet category, we require a certain level of notability for new entries.
  • Sponsorships: Any officially-sponsored references, such as award shows or motorsports events, belong in Sponsorships.
  • Recurring references: Any commonly-recurring references, such as a character in a television series, only need their first appearance listed. Ensure to note that said reference is a recurring one.
  • Multi-game shows: Any television series which cover numerous games by different companies, like GameCenter CX, only need their first reference covered. Ensure to list any future references in the same listing.
  • Hardware in Sonic references: If a reference features someone playing a Sonic game, and it shows them using hardware required to play the game (like a Control Pad (Mega Drive) or Game Gear), that reference doesn't need to be copied here as well.

To do

  • Rename to Film, Television, and Web?
  • Make a distinction between References and Sponsorships (may need content migrated between articles)?
  • Limit entries by notability?
