			== Moving pages ==

			Ficboy, when making major page moves, you are expected to consult with the community by opening a discussion about it in the relevant talk page(s) to verify that it is correct. Your page move of "[[Roman Hidden Ones]]" to "Liberatores" may very well be correct, but the title of this page was the subject of extensive debate among editors previously and so should absolutely not be moved unilaterally and suddenly by any single editor. Only minor page moves, like correcting typographical errors or bringing article names in line with standards are allowed to be conducted without consultation with the community.

			::::Ficboy, I see a that number of your consecutive page edits lately—namely to Ale, Vanir, and Norse mythology—are relatively minor in nature and should have been marked as such. While your edits are broadly beneficial to the Wiki, you have now been advised at least three times now to fix your editing style and proofread your work before saving it, and have also been informed in my comment above from 2 months ago on how to mark edits as minor when they constitute only minimal changes. I ask that you please reread this chat log and work on implementing the suggested changes. – [[User:Darman36\|<span style="font-family:Old English Text MT;font-size:15px;color:#">Darman</span>]] ([[User talk:Darman36\|<span style="font-family:Viner Hand ITC;color:#">talk</span>]]) 01:30, 14 June 2021 (UTC)

			== Disruptive edits ==

			Ficboy, I understand that you never mean any harm in your edits, and you're only trying to do the best to help as you can, but your edits for these past couple of weeks have honestly tended to be counter-productive. Last night, I had to stay up past midnight fixing the article "[[Silk Road]]" that you created and everyday I find myself having to vigilantly monitor edits of yours. To the extent that it's important to proofread everyone's edits, that's fine, but many of your edits are unnecessary alterations of other people's work which would be trivial in nature if not for the problems they create.

			Here are some following problems of late:
			*Creating articles by plagiarizing from Wikipedia.
			:I know this is a temptation that many editors have fallen into, but I have mentioned a few times already in the edit summaries that you should avoid this. It is fine to consult Wikipedia for help getting started, but starting an article based on copying and pasting Wikipedia's article sets you moving in the wrong direction. Many subjects we deal with can be explained just as well and more uniquely using what information we have from ''Assassin's Creed'' sources. Wikipedia should only be used when needed to ''supplement'' our writing based in ''Assassin's Creed'' not as the primary source.

			*Editing without familiarity with the source
			:Editors should be familiar with the sources that they are editing from. Whenever you're editing ''Dynasty'' content, it's evident that you haven't really read the actual comics. You may be getting some information second-hand based on what we already have on the wiki, but when you haven't actually dealt with the source material, you need to refrain from making major edits and numerous revisions in regards to it. Case in point, I would prefer it if you left the creation of ''Dynasty''-related articles to me. I understand that you just wanted to help by making pages which haven't been covered yet, but because of your unfamiliarity with the subject, it actually creates more of a burden for me. When you created the pages for "Western Regions" and "Silk Road", I had to divert myself away from working on other ''Dynasty'' pages just to immediately correct those. Otherwise, it is just disingenuous to make content you're not actually familiar with.

			*Edits should be supported by citations
			:As an extension of the above, I had to note [https://assassinscreed.fandom.com/wiki/Silk_Road?curid=254317&diff=952425&oldid=952422 here] just now why editing the sentence I wrote to include Japan is not acceptable. Your edit is correct because scholars and entertainers from Japan did come from abroad to live in Chang'an ''but'' it is not supported by the citation that I used. Hence, you changed the sentence based on what knowledge you already have in your head, but our work needs to be strictly supported by sources.

			:This is not the only instance that I have seen you do this, and it is a result of, once again, editing material without familiarity with the actual sources. When I rewrote the article, I made sure to stay within the confines of information given by sources I was working with as much as possible. I only add more information from my own background knowledge when I think that it is absolutely necessary to improve the article's quality.

			*Why is "Mandarin" a problem?
			:I noticed your [https://assassinscreed.fandom.com/wiki/Suyab?action=history back]-and-[https://assassinscreed.fandom.com/wiki/Western_Regions?action=history forth] edits on "[[Suyab]] and "[[Western Regions]]", where you seemed to obstinately object to simply indicating that readings given for their names in Chinese are Mandarin. You first tried to change it to "Mandarin Chinese", which I changed back because as a native Chinese speaker, I know that we never ever actually refer to the language as "Mandarin Chinese" in English. It is always just "Mandarin"; "Mandarin Chinese" is wordier, unnecessary, and actually even awkward, and I think Wikipedia's article only has that as its title to disambiguate with "mandarin orange" and other uses of the word ''mandarin''. But there is only one language in the world named Mandarin, so that disambiguation here is not necessary.

			:For some reason, you kept modifying this, whether shifting "Mandarin" to precede the hanzi or removing it outright. I think that it is necessary to specify that the reading given is Mandarin while it would be incorrect to indicate the hanzi as Mandarin because they can be read in other languages, like Cantonese, which is the language I use to read the comics. I appreciate that you weren't making straight reverts at least, but you also weren't providing explanations in the edit summaries. If you did provide some argument, that would have made these edits more appropriate, even if I were to continue to disagree, and I might not have had to protect the pages.

			*Misc. disruptive edits
			:I don't like how even as I was writing this message, you reverted back 'Western Asia' to 'Middle East' in "Silk Road" again in spite of my explanation in the edit summary. 'Middle East' is a Eurocentric term which, by popular usage, is still favoured in the context of modern geopolitics but not for the 8th century, when it is important to emphasize the region's cultural connection and exchange with the rest of Asia. More importantly, the source material happens to use the name 'Western Asia' in the line I based that sentence on. Once again, this is an example of editing without familiarity with the source material.

			Everyone makes editing mistakes, but at a certain point, it just becomes too overbearing when they repeat themselves over and over again. There was a certain point the other day where I started to get the impression that you often edit for the sake of finding something to edit rather than because you were proofreading and found an actual problem. This is a subjective perception on my part that could totally be wrong, and it is derived solely from seeing a pattern of low quality edits, fixing things that don't need to be fixed, chain-edits, and repeatedly inserting new things onto sentences until they become run-on sentences. I think that the fact that I didn't have this observation about your pattern of editing until just the other day after months of this behaviour is indicative of how I have assumed good faith.

			And as someone who struggles with ADHD myself, I will continue to do my best to assume good faith, but I need to inform you when your edits are really more counter-productive than constructive even when well-meaning and what impression that gives.

	In regards to the individuals memorialized in the Sanctuary, like Wei Yu, Iltani, and Darius, the wiki community had an important discussion on this issue last year. We came to the conclusion that per strict sourcing policy, all the individuals so memorialized should continue to be referred to as Assassins, even those that predate the founding of the Hidden Ones by Bayek and Aya. Iltani, Darius, Wei Yu, Amunet, Qulan Gal, and Lucius are all referred to as Assassins in ''Assassin's Creed II'' and ''Assassin's Creed Encyclopedia'', to name a few canonical sources. No source ever refers to any of them as proto-Assassins even if it can be surmised that the former three are not properly called Assassins due to the retcon moving the founding of Assassins to 47 BCE. We are not at liberty to decide how we designate Iltani, Darius, and Wei Yu "proto-Assassins", a significant term, based on the implication of the retcon. Rather, sourcing policy dictates that we have to take both AC2 and ''Origins'' at face-value, meaning that Iltani, Darius, and Wei Yu were treated as Assassins long after their time despite predating the official founding of the Assassins.

Iltani, Darius, Wei Yu, Amunet, Qulan Gal, and Lucius are all referred to as Assassins in ''Assassin's Creed II'' and ''[[Assassin's Creed Encyclopedia]]'', to name a few canonical sources. No source ever refers to any of them as proto-Assassins even if it can be surmised that the former three are not properly called Assassins due to the retcon moving the founding of Assassins to 47 BCE. We are not at liberty to decide how we designate Iltani, Darius, and Wei Yu "proto-Assassins", a significant term, based on the implication of the retcon. Rather, sourcing policy dictates that we have to take both AC2 and ''Origins'' at face-value, meaning that Iltani, Darius, and Wei Yu were treated as Assassins long after their time despite predating the official founding of the Assassins.

	Hey Ficboy, I saw your recent edits to the Timeline article. Please pay attention to the commentary I listed at the top of the page when editing the article. I incorporated several notes to ensure the article remains consistent. Namely, to keep the article in past tense. The rest of the article is in past tense, making the recent additions in present tense inconsistent. Additionally, when revamping the article I made sure to keep every bullet point short and concise, both to make everything easier to read as well as to not repeat the same in-depth information you can find on other articles. The Timeline article only needs to list the most important points, not the entire chain of events that led up to it or the motivations for said event. When doing this I made sure to never have the text for one bullet point exceed four lines, preferably three, as displayed within my browser. -- {{User:Master Sima Yi/sig}} 10:39, 2 May 2021 (UTC)		Hey Ficboy, I saw your recent edits to the Timeline article.

			==Chain Edits==
			Hey Ficboy, just a reminder on what Sol Pacificus and Darman stated about excessive chain-edits in a span of a short amount of time, especially in regards to [https://assassinscreed.fandom.com/wiki/House_of_Muns%C3%B6?action=history this recent edit you made]. Please try to proof read your edits and condense them in at least 1 or 2 edits, because 10 edits in a span of half an hour is way too much. I really do appreciate your contributions and I don't wish to remind you again. [[User:XOdeyssusx\|XOdeyssusx]] ([[User talk:XOdeyssusx\|talk]]) 01:55, 13 May 2021 (UTC)

	::::::Wanted to add to this, but Darman's response was great. I am uncomfortable with being too pedantic about using "Brotherhood" over "Order" because of the former not being gender-neutral. However, the other matter is that even though there is an ''implied'' retcon for "Assassin Brotherhood" over "Assassin Order" since we no longer see the latter used, there has never been an explicit statement on this matter. For all we know, "Assassin Order" is simply a more antiquated name that fell out of practice but is still viable. Finally, I think if you're citing to an older source which uses "Assassin Order" rather than "Assassin Brotherhood", depending how closely you're referencing it, it can be incorrect to change "Order" to "Brotherhood".
