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.

*Ensure all entries which feature multiple references include an image of each reference.
 
*Add Sonic products which reference Sega products (with obvious caveats; think the Dreamcast texture in that ''Sonic Adventure'' boss fight.)
 
*Add non-review television/notable web shows which cover video games, but probably only with a single entry which contains a list of every Sega game which has appeared on the show. Think a single entry for GameCenter CX with a list of covered Sega games. Just one image too, I'd imagine.

:That's a really good question. One I had to research. And... I don't know, its hard to tell. On one hand, they're based on different fonts. On the other hand, the designer of the Mr. Robot font had to have known that a good majority of the audience is gonna see that logo and think "oh that's like the Sega logo." If anything, with the content of the show, it gives off less a Sega logo vibe and more.... a retro tech industry vibe? Maybe that's not the best way to describe it, but I think the design is referencing what the Sega logo was based on, more than the logo itself.
*[[wikipedia:Cheaters (American TV series)|Cheaters]] - Apparently contains a Dreamcast.

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?

Mr. Robot

The logo uses same font as Sega. Is that qualify to this page? Geti3220 (talk) 14:02, 22 May 2024 (EDT)

That's a really good question. One I had to research. And... I don't know, its hard to tell. On one hand, they're based on different fonts.

So in this case, its probably not a Sega ref, but I'm not super sure :) CartridgeCulture (talk) 21:55, 23 May 2024 (EDT)
