Hi GryffindorGall, I appreciate you trying to help expand some of our articles, but copying and pasting content from Wikipedia is not the way to do it. For one thing, the writing should be original to this wiki. For another, our sourcing policy dictates that we should by and far only be taking information from ''Assassin's Creed'' sources even when a subject has a real-world counterpart. You may take ''limited'' information from real-world sources because sometimes it's necessary to provide better context on the subject that ''Assassin's Creed'' assumes is already understood and so does not explain, but not only should this information be sourced to whatever real-world source you used, but it also should not be greater in proportion than the information sourced to ''Assassin's Creed''.

Hello GryffindorGall, regarding some of your recent edits to several articles, I understand that you’re just trying to help but when it comes to writing, concise is usually best, and I’ve noticed that your grammar edits actually make things less concise than they were before which isn’t preferable. I’ve also noticed that sometimes you use incorrect tense, such as changing correct past tense to incorrect present tense. Please understand that I’m not doing this to be a jerk. Maintaining the wiki’s professionalism is just important to me. Thanks. | |||

Copy and pasting from Wikipedia
Hi GryffindorGall, I appreciate you trying to help expand some of our articles, but copying and pasting content from Wikipedia is not the way to do it. For one thing, the writing should be original to this wiki. For another, our sourcing policy dictates that we should by and far only be taking information from Assassin's Creed sources even when a subject has a real-world counterpart. You may take limited information from real-world sources because sometimes it's necessary to provide better context on the subject that Assassin's Creed assumes is already understood and so does not explain, but not only should this information be sourced to whatever real-world source you used, but it also should not be greater in proportion than the information sourced to Assassin's Creed.
