Have a question about how the TVTropes wiki works? No one knows this community better than the people in it, so ask away! Ask the Tropers is the page you come to when you have a question burning in your brain and the support pages didn't help.

"would eventually enter a committed relationship with Nicole." Eventually? Does this mean they are not a couple yet? Because of so, then they are not an Official Couple yet.
I believe Sally and Nicole never went beyond teasing, the author even mentioned they were surprised they got away with it. However it’s been awhile so I could be remembering it incorrectly.
As for Sonic and Sally, I’m not surprised there would be more shipping mentioned, as they were the main couple for most the series. However it should definitely be clarified it only qualifies pre-reboot. The troper in question does appear to have a agenda.
Personally considering how different the characters were before the reboot, i always thought the character pages should be divided into pre/post-reboot.

[up][up] Okay, no worries then ^^
[up] The Mobius Encyclopaedia does it that way, though there's obviously a lot less post-boot material than pre-boot.

I wouldn't be against a split TBH since even the official Sonic Wiki sites treat Pre-SGW and Post-SGW incarnations as different versions of the characters due to the drastic changes the cosmic retcon button made to the universe

Eagle70 is against the Sally/Nicole stuff again, again linking to the person bashing the podcast and saying Sally is trademarked by Sega, which was true but was also in the early 90's and they want nothing to do with her nowadays. (Sally as she appears in Archie was a DIC creation based on Ricky the squirrel from the games, and Eagle seems to be linking to a bible referencing Sally Acorn as seen in Sonic the Comic. I have no idea if she's still Sega-trademarked nowadays.) https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/article_history.php?article=YMMV.ArchieComicsSonicTheHedgehog
EDIT: Asked on the forums and Sally and the FF are owned by Sega, but the edit reason still seems overly-defensive of Sonic/Sally and Ian-bashing to me.
Have you tried P Ming that troper?

Characters.Archie Comics Sonic The Hedgehog Freedom Fighters has been receiving a lot of pro-Sonic/Sally shipping moments lately, which are from before the comic was rebooted. In the post-reboot comic, Sally was instead extremely close with Nicole, and according to
Ian Flynn
, the Homoerotic Subtext between Sally and Nicole was entirely intentional on the writers' part, with a Bumblekast interview
clarifying that post-reboot Sally was bi, had dated Sonic in the past but it didn't work out, and would eventually enter a committed relationship with Nicole.
I thought that was evidence enough to put Sally/Nicole as an official couple post-reboot with Sonic/Sally being pre-reboot specifically (especially since Ian had gotten sick of the shipping wars and made them just friends post-reboot), but Eagle70 deleted it and kept Sonic/Sally as the only official couple, citing a link to someone bashing Ian's podcast as evidence. Any advince for what to do? I think at the very least Sonic/Sally should be clarified as pre-reboot.
