Howdy howdy

Since I don’t think anyone has officially reached out to you, I’m taking it upon myself to show our appreciation for your hard work. Close to 300 significant edits in less than 2 weeks is awesome. If you aren't already a member, I suggest joining our discord which should be accessible through the sidebar. A good number of us use it to coordinate better or discuss certain topics on a platform that facilitates it better than these talkpages.

But now that the pleasantries are out of the way, on to brass tacks. I notice that some of your edits have included trivia point sections. We’ve recently decided to try to phase these out in favor for wither working the content into the main body paragraphs or if it is out-of-universe or character concept like etymology into behind the scenes sections. Trivia sections are still valid but are now meant to be temporary placeholders for such information or sections that edits who are possibly intimidated by larger articles to put their content. Of course we also have been kind of lax dealing with these sections especially on older character pages that have really large trivia sections.

Anyways great to have you and feel free to contact any of us on the admin team if you have any questions. Lacrossedeamon (talk) 03:36, 16 February 2021 (UTC)

Talk pages

Hello Batfan13,
Just want to likewise extend another welcome and a thank you for all your work on the Order of the Ancients pages. Just a quick note for the future, when you use a talk page, whether yours or someone else's, it's best to sign off on your posts. We can typically see who last edited a talk page through its "History" drop-down menu section or watching the "Recent Activity" feed, but it's faster if everyone signs their name where possible. You can do that by using 4 tilde marks, "~~~~", at the end of whatever you write. I hope you enjoy your stay and wish you many more productive edits. Cheers, Darman (talk) 15:55, 16 February 2021 (UTC)

Reporting on Cent

I see your change at Reporting on Cent. I also see you changed the description in the infobox. You know that that description is the ingame description of the mission itself right? As far as I know, the description field of the infobox is to display the ingame description, not make up one of our own. Kennyannydenny (talk) 09:53, 22 February 2021 (UTC)

I've asked Sol Pacificus‎ about the description field as I want to be sure i'm doing the correct thing. Kennyannydenny (talk) 09:59, 22 February 2021 (UTC)

Thanks for the response! I wouldn't have mind if it stayed that way until Sol responded, but we can always change it back to what you made of the description if it turns out it's fine not using ingame descriptions there. If I get a response from Sol, i'll let you know. Kennyannydenny (talk) 09:36, 23 February 2021 (UTC)

Metadata security

Hello again,Batfan13,
I'm not sure if you're aware, but the metadata on every image you've uploaded so far looks to have your full name still attached to them. If that's a concern for you because of online safety, you might want to find a way to scrub that in future files you post here. Just thought I'd give you a heads up on the matter. – Darman (talk) 04:10, 6 March 2021 (UTC)

Discord?

Hello, I was wondering if you happen to have joined our Discord server? There's a regular user on our server named Bat_Creature, and I'm curious if you and this user is one and the same. :) Sol Pacificus^(Cyfiero) 05:52, 5 August 2021 (UTC)

It's a great thing we asked then! You're welcome to join our server any time by the way. :) Sol Pacificus^(Cyfiero) 23:44, 9 August 2021 (UTC)

Weapon rollbacks

What is your reasoning for undoing all of those? Lacrossedeamon (talk) 18:07, 19 September 2021 (UTC)

RE: the new stats are for the weapons at max upgrade which follows the standard set by weapon stats on articles from previous games like Odyssey and Origins. In the future if you have concerns about a series of edits like this please reach out first beforehand. Lacrossedeamon (talk) 18:58, 19 September 2021 (UTC)

RE:RE: No worries. I think the disconnect comes from Odyssey but that's because the weapons in Odyssey can appear as different tiers but are locked while Valhalla you can actually upgrade the tier level. Also I didn't realize you had reached out to Nstav but next time wait for a response before continuing. Otherwise your concerns were valid so good on you for that.

New hub for editors

Hey Batfan13!

I wanted to let you know I made a hub for the editors, so we can see what needs to be done and talk to each other about it.

It's over on Assassin's Creed Wiki:Target board. - Soranin (talk) 16:02, 7 December 2021 (UTC)

Proofreading resources articles

Hello Batfan, I just proofread a few of your recent articles on resources, and there were a few mistakes I noticed which I hope you don't mind me pointing out.

First, their appearances in the games are not "mentioned only" if they are collectible items into the inventory. This is especially so for Project Legacy, which is a text-based game. Just like if a character handled flax or saffron in a novel, you wouldn't call it just a mention, if the player handles flax and saffron in the game by collecting them then creating items with them, they are also not just mere mentions; they have made actual appearances.

Apart from this, please make sure to avoid this kind of wording in the future:

"During the Peloponnesian War in southwestern Elis, Greece. . ."

"During the Renaissance in Florence, Italy. . ."

"During the early 16th century in Rome, Italy. . ."

You don't add "in [place]" after "during [time period]". This phrasing is very awkward and essentially turns the sentence into a run-on. Part of it is because it's too many prepositions stacked on top of one another in a subordinating clause and part of it is I think the word during doesn't support that syntax. It's basically not correct syntax. I've also explained this to other editors in the past, but your writing doesn't have to be so formulaic.

In fact, you will write better if you don't. Try to write naturally with what content you have in mind, rather than making rote lists of appearances. You aren't always required to name the war happening in the background during the events of Odyssey (it might not always be relevant). Yes, you collect flax and saffron while playing as Francesco Vecellio, but is the collection of flax specific to Vecellio and his team or can we infer that it's just a general thing the Italian Assassins did? Well, the collection of saffron is a bit more particular to Tessa Varzi since she was a poison expert, so in my revision, I decided to focus on that a little more. These are some examples of how to naturalize writing more. Sol Pacificus^(Cyfiero) 20:54, 1 February 2022 (UTC)

Batfan, I've already asked you to avoid this kind of wording "During the late 880s in West Francia..." It's syntactically incorrect and very awkward. :-/ Sol Pacificus^(Cyfiero) 03:02, 16 May 2022 (UTC)

Unsourced info in "Peony"

Hello Batfan, I just wanted to check quickly with you:

In Chinese history, peony exhibitions are held and cultivated annually in the ancient city of Luoyang.

Do you know where this line's information is from? It needs as a citation. Sol Pacificus^(Cyfiero) 21:39, 28 February 2022 (UTC)
