== For The Eyes Of Jasca Ducato ==

Now, let me make this perfectly clear: I am not trying to defy the "chain of command" here. I appreciate your work, Jasca, and I want to keep this as respectful as possible. ''That said''. . . I feel a certain urge, and perhaps even obligation, to [[Francisco Pizzaro|prove a point]]. (I couldn't figure out how to link directly to the page history, so please go there, and look at the third-to-last edit by '''Master Sima Yi''', and his given reason for it.)

Now, as for the ''tiny, innocuous'' snippet of information about modern-day Istanbul, although it isn't particularly relevant to Constantinople's present role in the AC universe, I think it is an otherwise significant point worthy of brief note. That is all. [[Special:Contributions/98.192.42.30|98.192.42.30]] 06:21, April 22, 2011 (UTC)

:Your second point proves exactly why the information does not fit on this article. It ''isn't'' relevant to Constantinople's role in the AC universe at all. It is never called, or otherwise hinted at being named Istanbul in any way, shape or form, so we don't have it in the article. Also, I don't care much for people trying to prove a point, so don't. --'''''[[User:Jasca Ducato|Jasca Ducato]]''''' [[User talk:Jasca Ducato|Council Chamber]] [[Special:Contributions/Jasca_Ducato|Assassination record]] 09:53, April 22, 2011 (UTC)
::No, but I think it's a pretty safe presumption; I was under the impression that it's the general policy around here to assume that something happened as it did in history until it is directly contradicted in an Assassin's Creed product. And it doesn't do any harm to the article. . . doesn't seem to get in the way of any of the info about its AC role. It seems just as pointless, if not more so, to delete it.

:::Well I'm sorry, but you assumed wrong. Our sourcing policy explicitly states that there is to be no assumptions of speculations inserted into articles. Most of the staff are pretty relaxed on this part; I however, am not. --'''''[[User:Jasca Ducato|Jasca Ducato]]''''' [[User talk:Jasca Ducato|Council Chamber]] [[Special:Contributions/Jasca_Ducato|Assassination record]] 02:41, April 23, 2011 (UTC)
::::Fair enough. But it's not speculation; it's '''fact'''. And what do you have to say about Sima Yi's statement? [[User:Guardian Assassin|Guardian Assassin]] 22:39, April 23, 2011 (UTC)
:I've got nothing to say about it, if he wants to add that information, fine by him. I personally wouldn't have it in the article… I don't care if it's fact, as far as we're concerned the AC games are God, and they do not once mention the name "Istanbul". Discussion over. --'''''[[User:Jasca Ducato|Jasca Ducato]]''''' [[User talk:Jasca Ducato|Council Chamber]] [[Special:Contributions/Jasca_Ducato|Assassination record]] 03:18, April 24, 2011 (UTC)

== ACB location glitch in aprentice contract mission map ==

why is this being removed after i added it? everytime i play i notice it, and since nobody else metioned it i wanted to add it. was there a problem with my wording, or what?

== Istanbul ==

The article states that the city was known as Istanbul to it's Turkish rulers, but the Ottomans continued to refer to the city as Constantinople. It's a minor detail but I am a bit of stickler when it comes to history. Istanbul was more of a nickname during the Ottoman period and the Byzantine period as well. -[[User:LeeUnit92|LeeUnit92]] 05:41, October 4, 2011 (UTC)
:Whilst that may well be the case, the amount of hassle we had (as did the Official forums) over what the city should be called was exhausting. The compromise we currently have, mentioning both names in the lead sentence, is the only thing keeping the peace, so to speak. --'''''[[User:Jasca Ducato|Jasca Ducato]]''''' [[User talk:Jasca Ducato|Council Chamber]] [[Special:Contributions/Jasca_Ducato|Assassination record]] 08:52, October 6, 2011 (UTC)
:I don't really like how it's worded but yeah I get that there would be a lot of hassle over the name. [[User:LeeUnit92|LeeUnit92]] 23:21, October 6, 2011 (UTC)
::Well if you have an issue with the wording, make a suggestion here; if it fits, we'd happily change the current one. --'''''[[User:Jasca Ducato|Jasca Ducato]]''''' [[User talk:Jasca Ducato|Council Chamber]] [[Special:Contributions/Jasca_Ducato|Assassination record]] 14:06, October 7, 2011 (UTC)
I think the part where it states "also known as '''Istanbul''' to its Turkish rulers" can just be changed to "also known as Istanbul." I mean the Byzantines refered to it Istanbul as well. --[[User:LeeUnit92|LeeUnit92]] 16:53, October 7, 2011 (UTC)
:No, the Byzantines called it Constantinople, which is what the city was named whilst it was a part of the Byzantine Empire... --'''''[[User:Jasca Ducato|Jasca Ducato]]''''' [[User talk:Jasca Ducato|Council Chamber]] [[Special:Contributions/Jasca_Ducato|Assassination record]] 18:03, October 7, 2011 (UTC)

:I meant that Istanbul was a nickname that's been in use since Byzantine times. When the Ottomans took over Constantinople (or Kostantiniyye, the Turkish translation of Constantinple) was still the official name and it wouldn't be officially renamed until 1930. Sorry if my wording was unclear on the previous post. [[User:LeeUnit92|LeeUnit92]] 22:30, October 7, 2011 (UTC)

Could someone added information about how much degrees this city tilted compared to real life?

Just like [[Rome#Trivia|trivia no.2 of Rome article]].
