Can someone please proofread the article and make the appropriate changes? There are a ridiculous amount of errors.
Changing Early Life to A New Beginning
I'm also moving it. It doesn't seem appropriate that it should be in the beginning of the Biography part, since his other three main adventures were before that. Abby724 04:21, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
- Good idea, especially since a New Beginning, not technically a prequel to begin with -- it's a reboot; ignore everything that the series has established up to that point and start all over from the beginning. --Stratadrake 07:44, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
Did u notice that Spyro was in Twinsanity ( he disposed of some baddies who stole his gems)CocoBandicoot17 02:31, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
I am a big fan of Spyro and I think that we should split the spyro series pages between handheld and stationary console versions because they are different
I feel we should split responses both negative and positive are appreciated on my talkpage
-Sometimesseespeople I Agree,Nintendo DS/SP/GBA and Playstation 1,2,and Playstation+X-BOX+Gamecube are not the same thing.
spoilers
A spoiler warning is required before the stories of the games.
Reboot?
What does reboot of a series mean?Coco 03:32, 14 June 2007 (UTC)
- Is it not wikilinked? See Reboot (continuity). --Stratadrake 12:32, 14 June 2007 (UTC)
Fair use rationale for Image:SpyroSpeedway.JPG
Image:SpyroSpeedway.JPG is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

Article source
For those interested, here's a Game Informer article link about Spyro: Making Of An Icon: Spyro The Dragon. Some of the content could be useful for the series and separate game articles as well. (Guyinblack25 talk 23:14, 21 September 2008 (UTC))
Yuck
That current picture of spyro is horrible. can someone please find a better one?--58.173.93.72 (talk) 06:17, 20 April 2009 (UTC)
Tips based on other articles
I've done some preliminary work on the Personality and Appearance sections, and plan to do more to them as time and ability allow. I'll work on the Character History section tommorrow; I have some time before class starts, and I can post after I get home. In the meantime, I found some Good and Featured articles that we can base the improvement of this article on.
I noticed that they have certain sections in common. They all have a concept and creation section, decribing the development process of the character. Here, we would have what gave the developers the idea for Spyro, what inspirations they had in Spyro's development, any design changes he went through, ect. There is also an optional Actor Portrayal subsection; this is not a list of actors, but a coverage of how the actors shaped the character's development.
The Characteristics section and Appearances sections already exist in this article; the Appearances is called Character History, and I'll be doing research on how that should look.
There should also be a section on appearances outside the game universe, such as movies, toys, graphic novels, ect. This can be called "Other Appearances." It could most easily be placed as a subsection of a "Cultural Impact" or "Reception" section, which talks about how the character was recieved by the public.
Some Good and Featured articles to use as guides include Kirby (character), Kratos (God of War), Link (The Legend of Zelda), and Master Chief (Halo). Larrythefunkyferret (talk) 07:25, 6 April 2009 (UTC)
- Update - I've finished part of the Character History; I'll do the rest of it tomorrow. I know for a fact that I summarized way too much; please expand it within reason. It's only supposed to talk about Spyro's role in the games. Since he is the focal point of the games, his role is essentially the plot summary, and, like a plot summary, it should summarize rather than reiterate the story.
- One other thing; If the Sparx section is going to stay, it should probably be merged into a relationships with other characters section, describing his friends and how he relates to them with the same amout of detail as is used in the personality section. Larrythefunkyferret (talk) 08:48, 7 April 2009 (UTC)
- Let's make a "Relation ships with other characters section". If we do that though we should only maybe have Sparx, Cynder, and Ignitus. Most other characters have about the relationship depth with Spyro as a puddle. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Wise dude321 (talk • contribs) 14:57, 7 April 2009 (UTC)
Name
Spyro the Dragon (character) might be a better name for this article, especially since that's how he's referred to in the bolded title. See: Sonic the Hedgehog (character). Tezero (talk) 04:16, 2 May 2010 (UTC)
- I suppose. I am not exactly sure why it was here. Blake (Talk·Edits) 15:12, 2 May 2010 (UTC)
Ending of oringal games?
Is it true that the oringal games ended with Spyro A Hero's Tail? Will there ever be a 6th? Will there ever be a collect all the gems and stuff spyro game ever again? I Know nobody knows but still. With the new more fighter orinated games out its been a while. —Preceding unsigned comment added by ZEric7x (talk • contribs) 00:51, 24 November 2010 (UTC)
Requested move

The result of the move request was: will be moved when the redirect is deleted; uncontroversial. Kotniski (talk) 12:20, 4 January 2011 (UTC)
Spyro (character) → Spyro — Currently Spyro is a redirect here. If, as this suggests, this page is the primary topic for this title. If this were the case, I suggest moving this page back to its original (I think) character at Spyro (character). Macr86 (talk) 03:55, 27 December 2010 (UTC)
