This interview was conducted by Master Sima Yi.
00:45:AM Master-Sima-Yi Hi!
00:45:AM Master-Sima-Yi I'll be doing your interview.
00:45:AM Elchzard okay...
00:45:AM Master-Sima-Yi Or at least, I'll make a failed attempt at doing so.
00:46:AM Master-Sima-Yi I have no idea what I'm supposed to do, so that may come to your advantage.
00:46:AM Elchzard i'll be the one failing Sima xD
00:46:AM Master-Sima-Yi Nah, just relax.
00:46:AM Master-Sima-Yi Not a big deal.
00:46:AM Elchzard okay
00:47:AM Master-Sima-Yi Okay, let me look for a first question.
00:47:AM Master-Sima-Yi (Yeah, hold on a moment, I need to know what I'm doing first. XD)
00:48:AM Elchzard Okay, will do xD
00:48:AM Master-Sima-Yi How long have you been a member on the wiki, btw?
00:48:AM Master-Sima-Yi Not one of the questions ;P
00:48:AM Elchzard Erm, let me check, not sure
00:48:AM Master-Sima-Yi But it comes in handy so I don't pick stupid questions.
00:48:AM Elchzard Wikia, for quite a while...
00:49:AM Elchzard I've lurked here for a bit
00:49:AM Master-Sima-Yi No, just this particular wiki.
00:49:AM Elchzard but only started editing and coming to the IRC in the last... week or so i think
00:49:AM Elchzard makes me sound like such a newb xD
00:49:AM Master-Sima-Yi Okay, cool.
00:49:AM Master-Sima-Yi Nah.
00:49:AM Master-Sima-Yi Everyone has to start at one point, don't they?
00:49:AM Elchzard Yup
00:50:AM Master-Sima-Yi Okay, first one coming up.
00:50:AM Elchzard Okay
00:50:AM Master-Sima-Yi When you first joined here, what was the hardest aspect for you to grasp?
00:50:AM Elchzard Hmmm...
00:51:AM Master-Sima-Yi (Be quick with your answer though, I believe there's a time limit or something... )
00:51:AM Elchzard Okay xD
00:51:AM Elchzard Probably the way that everything I did made an impact
00:51:AM Elchzard I could improve the articles for the better
00:51:AM Elchzard and improve everybodys knowledge
00:51:AM Elchzard i hadn't really done much like that before
00:51:AM Master-Sima-Yi Hmm, okay. In what way is that different from other wikis?
00:52:AM Elchzard I hadn't really contributed to other wikis probably...
00:52:AM Elchzard the fallout wiki is pretty much perfect at the moment
00:52:AM Elchzard so there's not much to improve besides grammar
00:52:AM Master-Sima-Yi I see. Though does that 'impact' encourage editing?
00:52:AM Elchzard Yes, definitely
00:52:AM Master-Sima-Yi Cool ;D
00:53:AM Elchzard its really enjoyable to further other peoples knowledge ;D
00:53:AM Master-Sima-Yi 2. What mistakes did you make? Be sincere on your answer since that shows your ability of being self-critical and honest, both wanting traits. And be assured, we KNOW if you’re lying.
00:54:AM Master-Sima-Yi ... tik tok tik tok... ;D
00:54:AM Elchzard Sometimes I just write down stupid stuff, preview it
00:54:AM Elchzard and then see how stupid it was
00:54:AM Elchzard and...
00:55:AM Master-Sima-Yi ... yes?
00:55:AM Elchzard i start editing sometimes
00:55:AM Master-Sima-Yi What do you mean?
00:55:AM Elchzard on the first point?
00:55:AM Master-Sima-Yi No, the latter.
00:55:AM Elchzard okay
00:56:AM Elchzard well, i start editing, and then i get hung up on a little detail, like some grammar, or something im not sure about in the game, and I immediately just cancel the edit
00:56:AM Elchzard im not really assertive enough to just add in what i've already done, which can sometimes be quite alot of grammar correction
00:56:AM Elchzard just because i know i've got something wrong
00:56:AM Master-Sima-Yi Hmm. What would you think to do about it?
00:57:AM Elchzard about the non knowingness?
00:57:AM Master-Sima-Yi About not being assertive enough.
00:57:AM Elchzard if i'm not sure of something, ask on the IRC, or put in what i think is right
00:58:AM Elchzard basically, be more assertive about editing...
00:58:AM Master-Sima-Yi Well, as a member, you need to make edits by yourself.
00:58:AM Elchzard yeah, i know what you're saying
00:58:AM Elchzard i suppose just write down what i think is right
00:58:AM Master-Sima-Yi Okay.
00:58:AM Elchzard chances are it's not too far off the mark
00:59:AM Elchzard and somebody can correct it later...
00:59:AM Master-Sima-Yi I see.
00:59:AM Master-Sima-Yi Well, moving on to the next one.
00:59:AM Elchzard That answer didn't go very well
00:59:AM Elchzard Okay
00:59:AM Master-Sima-Yi Nah, it did. ;D
00:59:AM Master-Sima-Yi I understand what you mean.
00:59:AM Elchzard cheers
00:59:AM Elchzard thanks
01:00:AM Master-Sima-Yi If you came across a page titled “AC is awesome”, and notice that it was created by a user, what would you do?
01:00:AM Master-Sima-Yi *anonymous user
01:00:AM Elchzard tag it for deletion, and tell an admin
01:00:AM Master-Sima-Yi Righto.
01:00:AM Elchzard perhaps write on the users talk page about it being more appropriate for a blog/forum post
01:01:AM Elchzard oh, wait you said anon
01:01:AM Elchzard sorry
01:01:AM Master-Sima-Yi (Well, technically, admins should already look at the deletion category, so there's no need to tell an admin; but it'll be deleted faster if you do.)
01:01:AM Elchzard yup
01:02:AM Elchzard seeing as i'd probably be on the IRC anyway, and one of you would be on, it'd be easy to tell somebody anyway
01:02:AM Master-Sima-Yi Yeah.
01:02:AM Master-Sima-Yi Moving on.
01:03:AM Elchzard Yup
01:03:AM Master-Sima-Yi Are you aware of the manual of style, such as when to use bolding and italics, how to correctly write a header, and what tense or formatting to write an article in?
01:03:AM Elchzard Yes. Do you want detail?
01:03:AM Master-Sima-Yi If you can.
01:04:AM Elchzard Bolding is used for emphasis, or to make the name of the article stand out in it's introduction
01:04:AM Elchzard italics are used for the names of games/books/films
01:04:AM Master-Sima-Yi Yup.
01:04:AM Elchzard headers are written by surrounding the words of the header with == or === for a sub header
01:05:AM Master-Sima-Yi Do you also know how to write in those ways?
01:05:AM Elchzard which ways?
01:05:AM Master-Sima-Yi Bolding, italics etc.
01:06:AM Elchzard yeah, surround bolding with three apostrophes and italics with two
01:06:AM Master-Sima-Yi Good, good.
01:06:AM Master-Sima-Yi And can you go into detail about the tense and formatting as well?
01:06:AM Elchzard can you explain what you mean by formatting?
01:07:AM Master-Sima-Yi ... No... XD
01:07:AM Elchzard okay xD
01:07:AM Master-Sima-Yi It's one of the standard questions. Just do tense.
01:07:AM Master-Sima-Yi I'll come up with some of my own questions when it comes to your AC knowledge, though. ;D
01:08:AM Elchzard i can't really describe the tense...
01:08:AM Master-Sima-Yi Hmm, okay.
01:08:AM Master-Sima-Yi Moving on.
01:08:AM Elchzard all written from the present, with no mention of the author at all..
01:08:AM Master-Sima-Yi Hmm.
01:09:AM Master-Sima-Yi Next question coming up.
01:09:AM Elchzard yeah, it's just difficult to put into words, sorry
01:09:AM Elchzard (that was bad
01:09:AM Elchzard )
01:09:AM Master-Sima-Yi XD
01:09:AM Elchzard you agree xD
01:09:AM Master-Sima-Yi All's good.
01:09:AM Elchzard its ten past midnight here, sorry
01:09:AM Master-Sima-Yi No worries, I won't make my judgment yet.
01:09:AM Master-Sima-Yi You live in NL?
01:10:AM Elchzard nope, UK
01:10:AM Master-Sima-Yi Oh, yeah, that's right.
01:10:AM Elchzard the united kingdom
01:10:AM Master-Sima-Yi Well, I'm one hour ahead of you, so don't complain. ;D
01:10:AM Elchzard okay
01:10:AM Elchzard i have to answer stuff though
01:10:AM Master-Sima-Yi Do you fully understand the meaning of the words “Revamp” and “Stub”, so you know what pages do and don’t need the templates?
01:10:AM Elchzard Yes.
01:11:AM Elchzard give me some time to type some detail
01:11:AM Master-Sima-Yi Alrighty.
01:11:AM Elchzard a stub is a short article outlining the topic it's covering
01:12:AM Elchzard no real detail is gone into
01:12:AM Master-Sima-Yi And revamp?
01:12:AM Elchzard and there sometimes isn't any more than just an introduction, very shortly outlining the subject matter of the article
01:12:AM Master-Sima-Yi Aha.
01:13:AM Master-Sima-Yi And revamp?
01:13:AM Elchzard revamp is sometimes multiple things; grammar, broken links, poor formatting of images and text
01:14:AM Elchzard and it just needs stuff to be generally cleaned up
01:14:AM Master-Sima-Yi I see.
01:14:AM Master-Sima-Yi Well, moving on again.
01:14:AM Elchzard (fail.)
01:14:AM Elchzard Yup
01:14:AM Master-Sima-Yi Confidence, man, confidence. ;D
01:14:AM Elchzard xD
01:15:AM Master-Sima-Yi I won't say wether your answer is good or not, wouldn't be right.
01:15:AM Master-Sima-Yi Anyways, moving on.
01:15:AM Elchzard Yeah...
01:15:AM Master-Sima-Yi We've just done the first of three parts. Editing is done. On to community.
01:16:AM Elchzard Okalydokaly
01:16:AM Master-Sima-Yi A person has left you an insulting message on your talk page for no apparent reason, how do you react?
01:17:AM Elchzard Politely ask them why they've left the message
01:17:AM Elchzard and if they just answer abusively, ignore it
01:17:AM Master-Sima-Yi Okay.
01:17:AM Master-Sima-Yi You notice a feud between two users that has gone unnoticed for quite some time, what would you do to resolve the conflict?
01:18:AM Elchzard What sort of stuff are they saying to each other?
01:18:AM Master-Sima-Yi ... Fuck... XD
01:18:AM Master-Sima-Yi Uhm.
01:18:AM Elchzard haha xD, sorry
01:18:AM Elchzard and IRC or talk page?
01:18:AM Master-Sima-Yi Well... they're having an edit war.
01:19:AM Elchzard Okay
01:19:AM Master-Sima-Yi They both think they're right and keep putting contradicting content on pages.
01:20:AM Master-Sima-Yi Be quick with your answer, man.
01:20:AM Elchzard Probably remove the material that was causing the conflict, unless it was vital to the article, and tell both users to refrain from posting anything related to the subject they're arguing about again
01:20:AM Elchzard sorry, i was typing
01:21:AM Master-Sima-Yi Yeah, but I don't know much about the time limit thing, so I'm just warning you.
01:21:AM Elchzard Lm
01:21:AM Elchzard * okay
01:21:AM Elchzard hit enter by accident, sorry xD
01:21:AM Master-Sima-Yi XD
01:22:AM Master-Sima-Yi Okay, moving on.
01:22:AM Elchzard Okay
01:22:AM Master-Sima-Yi You suspect a person of medal/badge abusing/hunting, what do you do?
01:23:AM Elchzard is this medal hunting threatening coherent structure on articles they're doing it on?
01:23:AM Elchzard * in articles
01:23:AM Master-Sima-Yi Medal hunting is simply not allowed.
01:23:AM Master-Sima-Yi No way to justify it.
01:23:AM Elchzard Okay
01:24:AM Elchzard I'd ask them to stop on their talk page, tell them that medal hunting is just unjustifiable, and not to do it again or I'd take them to and admin
01:24:AM Master-Sima-Yi Righto.
01:24:AM Master-Sima-Yi Moving on.
01:25:AM Master-Sima-Yi Last part. Knowledge.
01:25:AM Master-Sima-Yi Standard questoin: What do the Templars and Assassins believe, what are their goals, and why are they striving for them?
01:26:AM Elchzard templars want to create a perfect world - their aims are good, but the means are bad
01:26:AM Elchzard they want to do it by force
01:26:AM Master-Sima-Yi Okay, and Assassins?
01:27:AM Elchzard the opposite - they believe people should have free will and be able to choose their choices in life, without being forced into anything
01:27:AM Elchzard even if this does mean humanity is flawed
01:27:AM Master-Sima-Yi Okay.
01:28:AM Elchzard okay...
01:28:AM Master-Sima-Yi Well, I'm going to try to come up with some questions now. I will do it about the overall AC universe; not simply the main game storylines. I will also include stuff from The Fall and the Glyphs and such.
01:28:AM Master-Sima-Yi Will that be a problem?
01:29:AM Elchzard I don't know anything about the fall
01:29:AM Master-Sima-Yi Hmm.
01:29:AM Elchzard and i haven't done the glyphs for a while
01:29:AM Master-Sima-Yi I see.
01:29:AM Elchzard but some glyph questions are fine
01:29:AM Master-Sima-Yi Okay. What about the books?
01:29:AM Elchzard haven't read any, sorry
01:29:AM Master-Sima-Yi Cool, me neither.
01:29:AM Elchzard i didn't know they existed till i got on the wiki
01:30:AM Elchzard xD
01:30:AM Master-Sima-Yi Okay.
01:30:AM Master-Sima-Yi Who is the CEO of Abstergo Industries?
01:31:AM Master-Sima-Yi Small question, quick answer. ;D
01:31:AM Elchzard Allan Rikkin
01:31:AM Elchzard *alan
01:31:AM Elchzard one L
01:31:AM Master-Sima-Yi Okay.
01:31:AM Master-Sima-Yi In what year was Ezio inducted into the Assassin Order?
01:32:AM Master-Sima-Yi Again, quick answer, no looking it up on the wiki.

01:32:AM Master-Sima-Yi Okay.
01:32:AM Elchzard sorry
01:33:AM Master-Sima-Yi Who was the leader of the merchants guild in Venice?
01:33:AM Elchzard 14 something...
01:33:AM Elchzard erm...
01:34:AM Master-Sima-Yi - One of Ezio's targets in Venice -
01:35:AM Master-Sima-Yi Don't know?
01:35:AM Elchzard no
01:35:AM Master-Sima-Yi Okay.
01:35:AM Elchzard arrgh
01:35:AM Master-Sima-Yi It was Emilio Barbarigo ;D
01:35:AM Master-Sima-Yi Next one.
01:36:AM Elchzard thats so annoying, i knew that :L
01:36:AM Elchzard i've just assassinated him in my replaying of ac2...
01:36:AM Elchzard anyway
01:36:AM Elchzard next one
01:36:AM Master-Sima-Yi Which arm did Malik lose and how?
01:36:AM Elchzard left arm
01:37:AM Master-Sima-Yi And how?
01:37:AM Elchzard i can't remember D:
01:37:AM Elchzard i'm being stupid this evening...
01:37:AM Master-Sima-Yi XD
01:38:AM Master-Sima-Yi In what year did Ezio kill Cesare Borgia?
01:38:AM Elchzard 1507
01:38:AM Master-Sima-Yi Okay.
01:39:AM Master-Sima-Yi Al Mualim turned out to be a different person than Altaïr thought. In what way?
01:40:AM Elchzard He was a Templar, rather than Assassin
01:40:AM Master-Sima-Yi Okay.
01:40:AM Master-Sima-Yi One last one, then I won't bother you further.
01:40:AM Elchzard you mean embaress me further? xD
01:41:AM Master-Sima-Yi Nope.
01:42:AM Master-Sima-Yi Who was the woman Ezio was truly in love with and how did their relationship come to its ultimate end?
01:43:AM Elchzard Caterina?
01:43:AM Master-Sima-Yi Okay, and the last part?
01:44:AM Elchzard Villa auditore attacked... and that she'd only shagged him for the politics
01:44:AM Elchzard i think
01:44:AM Master-Sima-Yi Okay.
01:45:AM Elchzard well, that was a complete fail...
01:45:AM Master-Sima-Yi XD
01:45:AM Master-Sima-Yi I hope not.
01:45:AM Master-Sima-Yi I'll let the others judge.
