Boston North End

I'd just like to say you're doing some great work with the multiplayer pages, getting them images and all. However, is there any chance you can find a version of the aerial image that doesn't have a watermark on it? (Ubisoft logo in the bottom corner) Stormbeast ♉ ^{The Helpful Place} 21:44, August 1, 2013 (UTC)

Oh damn. I totally didn't see that there. I just procure my images from the internet, one of the admins on the Ubisoft Forums posted them some time ago. I'm afraid all I can do is cut off the partition with the watermark on it. I don't really like that as a solution, but I can't think of anything else. I've had a browse, but I haven't found one for Boston North End without a watermark :/ Crookandcharlatan (talk) 21:53, August 1, 2013 (UTC)

Protip

Add |250px| argument to the thumbnails in the main body, as that's the standard we use. Apart from the galleries, which are 180px. --Kainzorus Prime ^{Walkie-talkie} 21:56, August 4, 2013 (UTC)

Sorry, the pages I edit usually already have images, which aren't always set at 250px. I'll try to be more vigilant in the future :) Crookandcharlatan (talk) 21:58, August 4, 2013 (UTC)

Congrats!

Nice! You have made your mark. I also want to congratulate you on creating Mushrooms, contributing a lot to pages, and in particular, multiplayer pages, and putting up community discussions for changing images. You are becoming serious like admins! Once you reach 500 mainspace edits, I'll come back. Arriverderchi. Altaïr Skywalker 47^{Agency Laptop} 10:27, August 11, 2013 (UTC)

Thanks ^^; What happens at 500 edits, though? You have me curious :P Crookandcharlatan (talk) 10:38, August 11, 2013 (UTC)

Wait and see :) Altaïr Skywalker 47^{Agency Laptop} 11:22, August 11, 2013 (UTC)

IRC

If you have not yet tried the chat channel, go for it :) I recommend 'Crook', but it is always your choise. Your good behaviour and good wiki-progression ensures you a better future. By the way, you are nearing 500 mainspace edits, See for yourself! :) Altaïr Skywalker 47^{Agency Laptop} 01:49, August 18, 2013 (UTC)

I have already made an account for the IRC, Alty. I probably should have chosen "Crook", but I just typed out Crookandcharlatan, which got shortened, so on the IRC I'm "Crookandcharlat" lol. Thanks anyway :) Crookandcharlatan (talk) 08:53, August 18, 2013 (UTC)

Apprenticeship

Crook, I suggest that you must apply for apprenticeship! You have reached for its requirements! I hope you will respond to this message...

Cheers from the apprentice,

Agent G! :'( I was going to surprise him. You've spoiled it :'( *cries*. I was telling him that I'd notify him when he'll meet the requirements! Altaïr Skywalker 47^{Agency Laptop} 08:09, September 1, 2013 (UTC)

Oh, I'd forgotten to reply to this ^^; Umm, thanks Agent231 and Alty, I will definitely be trying out the apprenticeship after I've done my last exam on monday. Fingers crossed I'll get through the interview :P (though before that, fingers crossed i'll actually pass my exam :I) Crookandcharlatan (talk) 08:13, September 1, 2013 (UTC)

Just a quick heads up, brush up on your AC lore when you choose to apply. It will help. :) Slate Vesper (talk) 17:16, September 1, 2013 (UTC)

Once you get the knowledge part done, it's easy sailing from there, so dont worry too much :> --Fragment ^-Animus- 19:02, September 2, 2013 (UTC)

I guess your exam is over as here is Tuesday. Come here :). Altaïr Skywalker 47^{Agency Laptop} 01:32, September 3, 2013 (UTC)

Mentoring

Hey, Crookandcharlatan, I was looking through the IRC logs and noticed you were looking for a mentor. I am available, if you're shopping. My most recent Apprentice, Arcemz, has graduated, and he is considering when to go through the nomination and approval process for the Bureau. I'm usually on IRC from 9ish-midnight CDT, and my IRCbot, TheRaven, takes messages for me. Just let me know if there's anything I can do for you. Thanks. DarkFeather ^{Raven's Nest}_{Raven's Hunt} 04:07, September 3, 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for the offer, DarkFeather :) There's a bit of a problem with timezones though; if my calculations are correct, you're on the IRC when I'm asleep ^^; 9PM for you corresponds to 4 AM for me. That's a bit of an inconvenience, since I'm likely to be hitting you up for advice often (I assume), and I'd prefer to do that in conversation. Regardless I'd be honoured to have you as mentor :) Crookandcharlatan (talk) 06:37, September 3, 2013 (UTC)

If he is not available, message his bot by typing "r. msg <message here>" without the "s, alright? Altaïr Skywalker 47^{Agency Laptop} 06:33, September 3, 2013 (UTC)

The pigeon coop. Use it. Simple solution. --Teller ^{Words, On my Screen :O} 09:38, September 3, 2013 (UTC)

Can you come to the IRC? I have a secret. Altaïr Skywalker 47^{Agency Laptop} 11:08, September 3, 2013 (UTC)

Apprenticeship

WOO WELCOME TO HELL! :D --Fragment ^-Animus- 22:21, September 4, 2013 (UTC)

*me puts a cloth over Fragment's mouth to silence him, before dragging him back into the fiery abyss named the Bureau* >:S Slate Vesper (talk) 22:37, September 4, 2013 (UTC)

And that was Slate, our resident Moderaterror. --Kainzorus Prime ^{Walkie-talkie} 23:01, September 4, 2013 (UTC)

Apprenticeship

Hey, Crook. You beat me to it, but I wanted to confirm we will be paired for the Apprentice Initiative.

1. To answer your IRC question, I think we can make it work -- I will available most of the day Saturdays, which seems to include the time you're usually on. When you usually log off is about an hour before I can log in, so for critical problems you can always catch me then. Otherwise, my talkpage and TheRaven will be waiting for you. If you are available tomorrow, please try to sign in during your normal hours and I will meet you then so we can talk about this.
2. For your first assignment, please revamp Aveline de Grandpré to Manual of Style standards. From my first-pass look at it, the referencing needs some updating -- general standards usually recommend a sourcing at the end of each paragraph. Moreover, the paragraphing is a bit abbreviated in places and could be unified into more substantial units; there also areas of grammar errors, etc. that can be repaired. Make sure you sandbox your edits -- I've taken the liberty of creating you a second sandbox and tagging the page with the App Revamp template.

Thanks, and welcome to the Initiative! DarkFeather ^{Raven's Nest}_{Raven's Hunt} 03:10, September 7, 2013 (UTC)

Finished

Hey crook, just so you know, when you update the article you have finished revamping, remove the Apprentice template at the top :> --Fragment ^-Animus- 00:55, September 9, 2013 (UTC)
