Robes

Hey The Wikia Editor

So, I felt the need to jump in here and ask you not to make any more robes/outfits articles. The original two, Altaïr's and Ezio's were justifiable due to the fact that they wore several robes throughout their lifetime. Shay Cormac's robes would fall under that as well, but the only reason I can think of for Ratonhnhaké:ton, Aveline and Edward's robes to stick around is to compare how the detail evolves - otherwise, those pages serve little purpose. I'm not sure about Arno...

Anyways, outfits like the Native armor and the Templar armor don't really warrant their own articles, considering all the information in those articles is already mentioned on the outfit pages. I will probably be deleting those sometime soon. I'm open for discussion regarding the other articles about robes. Crook ^{The Constantine District} 23:10, November 25, 2015 (UTC)

Outfits

I noticed your image posts on the Assassin's Creed: Unity outfits. It's been two years since that game was released and no one haven't even added the rest until now. You should try doing the same on the Assassin's Creed: Syndicate outfits page. Baransu17 (talk) 00:13, October 19, 2016 (UTC)

Antoninus Pius

Hey The Wikia Editor,

I just have a quick question. You cited Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood as your source for the Antoninus article - where specifically in the game is there information on him? (I presume one of the landmark database articles, but I don't know, so I'm asking you :p)

Cheers! Crook ^{The Constantine District} 21:21, November 13, 2016 (UTC)

Authors

Hello there! As it is clearly indicated here, the books Ezio actually found in Constantinople were ten. However, three were missing from the matching session on the book shops article:

• yesterday I noticed that and added Liutprand's Mission to Constantinople;
• but, as I guess you already know, Aesop's Fables are missing too,
• as well as Empedocles' (if I remember rightly) On Nature. Problem is, they were obtained in the Signs and Symbols missions, but there seems to be some confusion on which from where. If we could rework the list and include these three in a decent order, I may write the relative articles (Empedocles, On Nature, Aesop's Fables). --Piero.schiavone1994 (talk) 19:17, November 26, 2016 (UTC)

Again on authors and books

Hey there. Sadly, I can't access Revelations since I don't have my Xbox with me right now. Therefore, if you could, perhaps you could also copy-paste the summaries about the missing books (Mission on Constantinople, Aesop's Fable, not to mention the mysterious On Nature which I plan to add to the book shops article). What do you say? Best regards. --Piero.schiavone1994 (talk) 18:53, November 30, 2016 (UTC)

Yet again on books etc.

Oh, then I may be able to do it. Just, around the 20th of December, ahah. As for On Nature, I'm dead sure it's in the game. I just have a memory for this stuff and at times I just load my 100% games (both Assassin's CreedS and others) and hang around with my badass character. Well, when I load up Revelations I just stay in the Galata hideout and I browse the books because I like doing that once in a time. And On Nature IS there, I can't just remember if it's Parmenides' or Empedocles' one. Perhaps we could look for videos on YouTube? Something like "all books in Revelations" or the like. --Piero.schiavone1994 (talk) 20:59, November 30, 2016 (UTC)

I've found two more evidences of On Nature being there: the Galata headquarters page included a reference to it, and it's in the novel too. I've read that page a few seconds ago, it says Sofia and Ezio get the book hidden by Niccolò Polo and they open it and inside there's a map of the city with the Maiden's Tower highlighted. So I guess it's in-game too. --Piero.schiavone1994 (talk) 17:32, December 1, 2016 (UTC)

Proofreading the Rites articles

Hey, I see that you've been active around the wiki lately. I was wondering if you would mind proofreading the Templar Rites articles for grammar, syntax, and spelling errors. English is not the first language of the user who expanded them, and frankly, they're all littered with grammar mistakes now, no offense to him. I was planning on doing them, but then I realized that I might not have the time, and in any case, it may be more efficient for more than one person to proofread them. Thank you!

Religion of Organizations

Hey Wikia Editor,

There is a user going around adding religions to the religion parameter of the various Assassin and Templar branches. There are a few issues with this.

The first is that my understanding is that that parameter describes the religion endorsed (especially officially) by the organization, rather than the religious demographics. The editor seems to see it as describing religious demographics, hence why he lists "Irreligious" alongside "Christianity", "Islam", etc. However, I worry that this gives the wrong impression to readers that the Assassin branches officially endorse these religions, when in fact, they're an irreligious organization with quotes expressly supporting an agnostic way of thinking while also heavily suggesting atheism. Now, if the religion parameter is describing religious demographics not the official religion of the organization, it may be different, as in spite of the Assassins' beliefs, there have been at least a few religious Assassins (Raphael Sánchez and Luis de Santángel both having been Jews).

However, if we follow by his interpretation of what the religion parameter means, there is another issue, and that is that he is assuming the religious demographics of these branches based entirely on the religions of the region they're based. He assumed "Buddhism" for Chinese Assassins just because Buddhism is a major religion in China, Catholicism for the French Templars, "various" for the American Assassins and Templars, and so-forth. I have tried to talk to him, but he's not very communicative. He went ahead and added a few games as citations, but I find them dubious because I don't remember encounter anything of the sort in AC3 explaining that the Assassins of the Colonial Brotherhood were of various faiths or that the Ottoman Assassins were Muslim. Furthermore, Arno's quote at the end of Unity explains that "No higher power sits in judgment of us. No supreme being watches to punish us for our sins" while Altaïr in AC1 says "To recognize nothing is true and everything is permitted. That laws arise not from divinity, but reason." This seems to repudiate the idea that the Levantine Assassins are Muslim like they are historically or that the French Assassins are Catholic. Sol Pacificus^(Cyfiero) 18:58, March 24, 2017 (UTC)

Thanks for your thoughts on the matter! :) Sol Pacificus^(Cyfiero) 05:15, March 25, 2017 (UTC)

A Complete list of Dates for the Film

Hey, I'm not sure if you have the novelization of the film or not, but if you did, I was wondering if you could refresh me on a complete list of dates for events that occurred in the film novelization as well as the film. The movie and its novelization have clearly contradictory dates if I remember correctly. I thought it'd be a good idea for me to review these dates before I send the message to Aymar. In particular, I wanted to double-check that the film and/or the novelization do clearly place the ransom exchange on the day Granada was handed over to the Spanish. Sol Pacificus^(Cyfiero) 21:33, March 29, 2017 (UTC)

So this complicates things. Maxattac wrote that:

"The fall of Granada could have occured off-screen while the Assassins were still in jail, and then sometimes later while arriving to Granada they saw the toll on the city and witnessed the formal surrender of Muhammad in his palace (like leaving the keys of his appartement for the next owner ^^). My timeline; Mid 1491: Aguilar formally inducted -> late 1491: failed rescue mission near Granada -> 6th Jan 1492: execution after travel from Granada (250km, probably in a wagon) and days of imprisonment in Seville -> 8th or 9th Jan 1492: the templars and the Assassins arrive in Granada (250km, riding horses) -> 13th or 14th: five days trip to Palos de la Frontera (350km, riding horses), meet Colombus." Sol Pacificus^(Cyfiero) 21:54, March 29, 2017 (UTC)

If the film takes precedence over the novel though, and the film clearly gives a date of January 6 for one of the regressions (not sure which one, their attempt to rescue Ahmed or the auto-da-fé?), then, in the absence of Aymar explicitly clarifying that this was one of the script mistakes, doesn't this mean that we have to accept that the ransom meeting occurs after January 6 and thus after Granada is handed over to the Spanish? Sol Pacificus^(Cyfiero) 23:13, March 29, 2017 (UTC)

Ah, then does this mean I don't have to change the ending of the Granada War article? xD Because I was a bit angsting over having to rewrite it to reflect the January 6 date haha. However, do you by any chance have any real source for when Muhammad's abdication ceremony took place? Everywhere I read, I can only find that he transferred sovereignty of Granada to the Spanish on January 2 as stipulated in the treaty. I don't think it makes sense that the abdication ceremony would take place after that date, but I have considered the possibility that they scheduled the affair as a separate event a bit later, probably within the week.
