Correcting myself here, Surgical Strike has cropped ones. Others are decent, but I didn't check if they need uprezzing. --Kainzorus Prime ^{Walkie-talkie} 23:03, March 24, 2013 (UTC)

Source forum and main page link

I tried making a forum for my sources, but my iPad makes a mess. And i don't know who to go to. So here i am. And for the main page. I think you can find a place for the link to the news blog.

I'm not gonna make a new blog for each time there is new news, but just change the title and the forum is needed for a place to a my old news/sources. The new news get updated in the blog and the previous news is put in the forum. The blog is going to have a link to the forum. And the forum is my little problem. --ACsenior (talk) 18:07, March 29, 2013 (UTC)

We're not putting up a special forum on the main page just to list every piece of minor news. Any news that's worth being on the main page already gets on the main page. You can make a blog to collect all this news instead, but it won't be on the main page. -- Master Sima Yi _Talk 19:47, March 29, 2013 (UTC)

I'm ok with that, but what i meant is that i only need a link to the blog. The blog is supposed to have a link to the forum. Not asking for a "special forum". Only help to make one and a link to the blog(can skip the link to the blog from the main page).--ACsenior (talk) 19:53, March 29, 2013 (UTC)

I don't really understand what it is you need help with. -- Master Sima Yi _Talk 20:02, March 29, 2013 (UTC)

Making a forum.--ACsenior (talk) 20:10, March 29, 2013 (UTC)

Go to "Contribute" at the top right of the screen, then "Make a page", and name it Forum:Blabla. Whatever you want to call it. -- Master Sima Yi _Talk 20:26, March 29, 2013 (UTC)

Thanks--ACsenior (talk) 20:58, March 30, 2013 (UTC)

"American Revolutionary War" substitute

Hi, Sima; is there an acceptable alternative to "American Revolutionary War" that we should use for things that can be done at any time during Assassin's Creed III, such as buying a flintlock pistol? Because it's starting to feel silly saying "obtainable during the American Revolutionary War", when it can be done outside that time. --Crimson Knight _Intercom 20:40, March 29, 2013 (UTC)

I am personally very much against that whole settings-oriented stuff. "In the Thirteen Colonies during the 18th century" or something like that? Lots of stuff to use. -- Master Sima Yi _Talk 20:50, March 29, 2013 (UTC)

Wiki design help

I know this is not about the AC wiki. Well, technically, it is. I got control of this wiki recently. And I want to know how to put front page news blogs on the home site like the AC wiki has. I know about blog lists, but I don't know how to embed one into the front page. Can you help me? Thanks! Aegis Runestone^{Speak to me} 17:41, March 30, 2013 (UTC)

Hmm, I guess I could help you out, but I'm no really no coding wonder like other users are. It'd take me several times to figure it all out and implement it there. So again, I think that it'd be better to go to Vatsa or Odran for this. -- Master Sima Yi _Talk 18:13, March 30, 2013 (UTC)

Thank you so much! I'll ask one of them. :) Aegis Runestone^{Speak to me} 19:09, March 30, 2013 (UTC)

Periods

I happen to agree with you fully, but I thought that it was our way to use periods on captions.

There was this proposal, but I don't think it was finalised. So, should periods on quote and image captions be removed? --Crimson Knight _Intercom 20:37, March 30, 2013 (UTC)

I'm not in any position to just say what shall be and what shall not be. Right now I don't think we have any clear rule set up. I figure that in the near future we will have to address this. -- Master Sima Yi _Talk 20:40, March 30, 2013 (UTC)

I'm just gonna pop in here to say, this is not what I expected when I saw this section title in the RA feed. Also, I recall Jasca waging war on fullstops in captions a few months back, and they ended up staying.--Kainzorus Prime ^{Walkie-talkie} 20:43, March 30, 2013 (UTC)

AC3 chronology

Help me out here: I rewatched the epilogue missions and Davenport Homestead and Evacuation Day take place in 1783, with Connor meeting the Daniel Boone-lookalike in the village afterwards. There's no date for that scene but the dialogue with Connor asking where everyone's gone makes it seem like it takes place before he talks to Juno again. What do you reckon? Alientraveller (talk) 13:14, March 31, 2013 (UTC)

Yes, correct. He wouldn't say "Why would they leave this behind?" when he sees the Crystal Ball, only to be shocked later when he finds that everyone has left the village. Same with Davenport Homestead, there's no way in hell that it takes place in 1783. That one's gotta be set right after burying the Grand Temple Key. I have no idea why they just threw these in afterwards, and in a non chronological way. -- Master Sima Yi _Talk 15:02, March 31, 2013 (UTC)

Are there are any other chronology issues you have with Connor's article? --Alientraveller (talk) 15:09, March 31, 2013 (UTC)

The Naval missions; the ones with Biddle and the lack of Peg Leg missions. -- Master Sima Yi _Talk 15:10, March 31, 2013 (UTC)
