Maria Auditore da Firenze move

Hi there Cello, I'm not sure if you noticed but somebody moved the article Maria Auditore da Firenze to "Maria de' Mozzi", upon the reasoning that it is her maiden name. Normally, I would have just gone and changed it back but as it would lose the edit history, and your the only administrator here, I'm asking if you can do it. Just to clarify my reasoning, it seems quite illogical for an article to call someone by a name they had legally given up, even more so when they're married someone with their current surname and the "de' Mozzi" name isn't mentioned at all in the game (albeit a minor one in the database). I would appreciate it if you could thus redirect the article, thank you. User:Jasca Ducato _{Council Chamber} ^{Assassination record} 02:39, December 31, 2009 (UTC)

I support the idea. I was quite concerned about this myself.--PhantomT1412 15:31, January 4, 2010 (UTC)

Help

How do you add sections? Like Trivia or past/childhood?

Simply type == <the name of the section> == FOr example: == Trivia ==. Hope this helps ^^ - SilverSummoner^TaLk 01:12, January 2, 2010 (UTC)

House of Auditore

Please, could you move The House of Auditore to House of Auditore. As you can see, there is already an article. The creator of the article referred to the residence of the Auditore family but this is quite inapropriated, and it would be better to rename it Palazzo Auditore (if its creation is needed). But House of Auditore is only appropriated for the article about the noble family of Auditore like all the articles about noble family in Wikipedia are named.--PhantomT1412 15:31, January 4, 2010 (UTC)

And also, could you please move back Maria to Maria Thorpe? thanks in advance~ - SilverSummoner^TaLk 02:05, January 6, 2010 (UTC)

Re: Bureaucrat

Well, I don't have the power to directly hook you up with bureaucrat access. But, I talked to someone above me and they went ahead and gave you bureaucrat access. Congrats! - Wagnike2 22:10, January 6, 2010 (UTC)

Istruttori

I like my avatar on User:D. Cello/sandbox/staf :) --PhantomT1412 18:43, January 8, 2010 (UTC) Great. =] And nice working creating the Maria disambig page. -- D. Cello 19:05, January 8, 2010 (UTC)

Thanks ;) --PhantomT1412 18:04, January 12, 2010 (UTC)

Where are all the paintings? well they're coming!

im currently in the process of individually screen capturing each purchasable painting, but i dont know if it will be a good idea to upload them all at once, have any ideas? --Lamarr23 18:19, January 10, 2010 (UTC)

Err... what? oO -- D. Cello 18:21, January 10, 2010 (UTC)

ahaha ok, you clearly know that you can buy paintings, im screen capturing all the ones you can buy, so i can create an article on them, do i just upload them all and do it that way, or would there be a better way? --Lamarr23 18:31, January 10, 2010 (UTC)

You could upload it all at once, just remember to categorize all and each one of them lest you leave our other admin crazy XD -- D. Cello 18:32, January 10, 2010 (UTC)

ite sick, also, can i upload music, got the soundtrack by jesper kyd.. or is that a no go cos of copyright?--Lamarr23 18:36, January 10, 2010 (UTC)

Please can I become a member of the Istruttori because my main quality is excellent historical knowlege which is why I would be an invalueable member of the team.Andrew nicholson 17:52, January 11, 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for adding my name to the watch list D. Cello, I'm awesome with history and very reliable I won't let you down.Andrew nicholson 18:32, January 11, 2010 (UTC)

Page Creation

"Assassin Seals", "Seals", "Assassin's Seals", "Assassins Seal", what is it? It's those seal things Ezio collects to unlock Altair's Armor. I plan to make a page about it. Also, about the individual Merchants (Doctors, Blacksmiths, Tailors, Art Merchants, Prop Merchants), do I make pages for them too? (I think I'm beginning my busy period, that's why I can't finish my pages...again with the multiple stub-making.) --Silver Mage Ω 12:46, January 12, 2010 (UTC)

If I understand... Ye, you could create a Assassin's Seal page, and a Doctors Page. But I think that the other, more commom merchants (who involve trading money per products) could be put under the AC1 merchants page. What ideas you've had, specifically? -- D. Cello 16:35, January 12, 2010 (UTC)

Each merchant would have a list of goods/services to offer via tables. I could also go on as to detail briefly what their merchandise do. (e.g. Doctors would have "Heal" and "Apothecary" plus their early appearance in the game and how they act when there is a nearby conflict.) --Silver Mage Ω 08:03, January 13, 2010 (UTC)

Okaay, if you have content enough for each merchant to have its own article, green light! =] -- D. Cello 14:28, January 13, 2010 (UTC)

Home Page

hey on the homepage i there is only the assassins creed and assassins creed II game cover images as links, dont you think alty's chronicles and bloodlines should be in aswell? i got images that will fit in with the others, but im not to goo with al the code yet so i was thinking someone in admin could do it if you think its a good idea..

Animus edit

Hi D.Cello. I noticed you immediately reverted my edit to the Animus article with no explanation whatsoever, and was curious as to why. The picture I choose for the lead is clearly much better, and I cannot understand why you do not feel the same. User:Jasca Ducato _{Council Chamber} ^{Assassination record} 22:59, January 14, 2010 (UTC)

If you waited 5 minutes before coming here, you would see why. Check there again. ;D -- D. Cello 23:05, January 14, 2010 (UTC)

WIKI LAYOUT

hey just wondering, the layout for the homepage and the menu bar on the side have all been change like hom and random page have been taken away... is that comoing back or?? just wondering.. cos its rather inconvenient..ahaha--Lamarr23 14:46, January 16, 2010 (UTC)

Random Page is Special:Random, I've "conveniently" put a link on my userpage for it. As for "hom"...? --Silver Mage Ω 13:22, January 18, 2010 (UTC)

I think he means "home". Since you can go to the homepage simply by clicking the wiki logo, so the link to homepage is removed~ I think that's what our b'crat thinks~ - SilverSummoner^TaLk 14:18, January 18, 2010 (UTC)

Re: Increased Readership

Yep, you guys are doing a good job here and the Wiki is really taking off traffic wise. Keep up the good work. - Wagnike2 17:21, January 16, 2010 (UTC)

Template Placement

Concerning the article management templates ({{Delete}}, {{Revamp}}, {{Imageneed}}, {{Wikipedia}}, {{WP-REAL}}, {{FAimp}}, {{Spoilerhd}}, {{Stub}}). What is the correct order in which they are put? --Silver Mage 09:11, January 19, 2010 (UTC)

Stub, Delete and WP-Real, in that order, must always be on top. The others don't have an specific arrangment, do it as you like. =] -- D. Cello 16:20, January 19, 2010 (UTC)

Istruttori

If I'm wanted, definitely want in. --Reqυiem 20:34, January 19, 2010 (UTC)

Captain, just want to remind you that you haven't changed Reqυiem's rights to rollback ^^ - SilverSummoner^TaLk 02:19, January 20, 2010 (UTC)

Thanks, sweetheart. Lack of sleep. x.x -- D. Cello 02:38, January 20, 2010 (UTC)

I hope im not asking to much if i say i want to help in a bigger way as well... -- Spoonodeath 22:42, February 14, 2010 (UTC)

Re:Licensing

I looked into it, and it's unfortunately something that can't be changed. Sorry about that. - Wagnike2 17:27, January 20, 2010 (UTC)

• I checked back into this, and then I came across this page: [1]. I think if you follow the steps in the creating new tags category you should be ok, if not I can continue trying to look into it. Or perhaps the guys from Wookipedia or Halopedia would be willing to divulge that information. Either way, keep me in the know. I'm curious to this too. - Wagnike2 01:37, January 21, 2010 (UTC)

edit conflict: I believe it can be configured at MediaWiki:Licenses. Take a look at this. But may I know what kind of licenses that you want to add? O.o - SilverSummoner^TaLk 01:39, January 21, 2010 (UTC)

Fantastico, sweetheart. Thank you. XD -- D. Cello 02:32, January 21, 2010 (UTC)

AC Page

Added a few sections, expanded everything, reordered the sections, and added images. Can I take the two revamp messages down? I assumed I should check with you first. -- Reqυiem 03:05, January 21, 2010 (UTC)

Great job. Ok, take it off, but leave the one for pictures. ;D -- D. Cello 03:10, January 21, 2010 (UTC)

Eras

Alrighty, bulk of the code and templates are up and ready to go. The eras aren't appearing yet, so I'm not sure if the MediaWiki code needs altering or if I have to refresh my browser. I'll try doing that first and if not, we'll have to get that sorted out first. Let me know if you want the icons tweaking in any way! I don't mind redoing an or even all of them until we get something you feel fits the Wiki's style. --Faded-Myth Discuss My Workload 04:24, January 21, 2010 (UTC)

There, needed a little tweak in the code. Okay, the icons look good. The only things I would add are the Fetured and Good icons (we already have them, jsut need them added to the era template, and by the way, when they are added to an article it should automatically be included in the Featured Article Category) and the real Eras (renaissance, modern) icons. Other than that, looks fantastic. Congrats! =] -- D. Cello 04:35, January 21, 2010 (UTC)

Okay, that bringed some troubles. I've tried replacing the whole code and it worked, but some issues appeared. I have to find a way to insert the era code only, but I first need to know exactly what is needed. I never can find anything on the Help, damn x.x -- D. Cello 04:58, January 21, 2010 (UTC)

The code I gave you on the Main Page talk should be all you need I think. Try inserting it underneath the "Collapsable buttons" section, see if that works. I'd do it myself but it' s an Admin-only thing. Faded-Myth Discuss My Workload 05:07, January 21, 2010 (UTC)

I've done it. Twice. Didn't work.

Adding AC and ACII icons is kinda messy. They're too similar to the Featured one. And would you mind making the Featured and Good with these ones? [2] and [3] -- D. Cello 05:11, January 21, 2010 (UTC)

I don't find them messy myself, particularly since the Featured icon will only be on a few articles. But I can tweak the Featured one to be more distinct. I'll create separate, disimilar icons for that and Good articles.

Also, I think I might know a solution. In addition to the other code, there's another single line of code which needs to be added above the line of ///////////, (which says "ADVANCED AUTMATICALLY REFRESHING etc etc" below). This line of code is:

showEras('title-linktabs');

I think that should do it. Here's a screen shot for clarification. Faded-Myth Discuss My Workload 05:27, January 21, 2010 (UTC)

Okay, I see you and Silver could do it. Can you make three new icons for the respective time periods, Medieval, Reanissance and Modern TImes? -- D. Cello 14:46, January 21, 2010 (UTC)

You got it. I'm at work so I'll take care of it when I get home. Sorry for reverting your edit to Ezio's page by the way. I just think it's imperrative that each character or subject have the Era for the game they appear in. It's one of the biggest reasons for Eras, because it takes the reader to that games Category where they can find related subjects. --Faded-Myth Discuss My Workload 14:50, January 21, 2010 (UTC)

Allright, will pass. I've tried changing your featured icon icon for our current one, but I don't know how XD -- D. Cello 14:52, January 21, 2010 (UTC)

Haha, it's alright, I can work my magic on it later. ;) --Faded-Myth Discuss My Workload 14:54, January 21, 2010 (UTC)

"No Image" Image

Have you considered using one for the wiki? It helps, in my opinion, to keep infoboxes looking clean since there's the lack of the upload links and texts. I created one for now and put in Subject 16's infobox. Let me know if you approve or if we should nix it. ---Reqυiem 01:51, January 23, 2010 (UTC)

It's a little too big, if I might say~ - SilverSummoner^TaLk 02:48, January 23, 2010 (UTC)

Yeah, I resized it and uploaded it again but for whatever reason the larger version keeps appearing. Perhaps if one of you deleted it and reuploaded it? -- Reqυiem 03:17, January 23, 2010 (UTC)

Done. It doesn't change, though. Perhaps we should wait for wiki-refresh. - SilverSummoner^TaLk 03:26, January 23, 2010 (UTC)

Great idea, Requiem. Nice picture too. We can leave that permanently. -- D. Cello 03:49, January 23, 2010 (UTC)

Youmay

Do we have a template like this:

This article is about {{{1}}}. You may be looking for {{{2}}}.

For use in pages already integrated into most wiki pages but also have a counterpart (e.g. Kadar) --Silver Mage Ω 14:50, January 23, 2010 (UTC)

No, we don't. Go ahead and implement it if you have not yet done so. =]
Tamir page also could use that template. -- D. Cello 15:57, January 23, 2010 (UTC)

AC

Hey, I don't know if you saw the reply to your original inquiry on my Talk page, but I've updated the AC page quite a bit and if there's anything else that needs to be done, let me know. As I mentioned in my reply, I'm in the middle of moving to another apartment and will be finishing up tomorrow, at which point my schedule should settle and I'll be able to edit even more. --- Reqυiem 00:03, January 30, 2010 (UTC)

Kadar

Could you also move Kadar Al-Sayf to Kadar A-Sayf? They also moved it to the wrong name. -- Master Sima Yi 18:33, February 3, 2010 (UTC)

Done. I forgot they were brothers x.x -- D. Cello 21:50, February 3, 2010 (UTC)

Reply to your message about my AC3 edit.

You're welcome for the edit. Before I created an account, I had randomly made edits to articles I read. I did want to communicate with the community and have people track me down incase they wished to addressed anything. Thanks for linking me to the sign up page, as well and indirectly suggesting to sign up.

Mario's page

I'll get to work on it. :D This is the first Wiki I've ever actively edited, so I'm still learning how to do things around here. I hope to be a major contributer. AC means a lot to me. :D AgentValentine 05:09, February 7, 2010 (UTC)

PS. Yes, it's a reference to Jill Valentine, lol.

Yeah sorry about that, I didn't actually mean to add status to any of them, I was just copying and pasting some of the code from other articles so I could add pictures to the ones missing them. I wasn't aware of what some of the code meant, until I paid more attention to it and attempted to un-add the status on the articles. I guess I must've missed some. But thanks for the heads up.

POE

I'm working on heavily revamping the Piece of Eden page, I'm going through section by section and doing it over at my Sandbox. Take a look when you get the chance and let me know how you think it's coming along, either on my Talk, here, or in the discussion section on the Sandbox. Thanks! -- Reqυiem 21:20, February 8, 2010 (UTC)

Completed the first four sections, revamped and rewrote a lot about the history, abilities, characteristics, and resistance abilities. Also, as you said, I tried my best to clean up the listing of the confirmed and possible artifacts. Should I continue working in the Sandbox or do you think I should copy and paste over what I've done so far? Also, the information about the location of the other temples should be (in my opinion) on a separate page as the actual temples have little relevance to the Pieces of Eden. Let me know. -- Reqυiem 02:44, February 9, 2010 (UTC)

Lines 4 Userboxes.

what kinda lines? like slashes or dashes?

Like "press enter and hit preview until the boxes are stacked" kind of line. And remeber to always sign your posts with ~~~~ -- D. Cello 04:31, February 10, 2010 (UTC)

i dunno how the hell that works i just tried it. ~~~~

Just 4 tildes, without the nowiki thing. And since I haven't added the instructions on how to do add the userboxes and feeling somewhat generous this exact minute, I've changed your userpage for you, but it was one-time thing. If you have any questions, any questions about anything, don't be afraid to ask. -- D. Cello 04:47, February 10, 2010 (UTC)

Grazie, Maestro. Nothing is true, every thing is permitted. ~

Sign your posts, or you'll feel my wrath ¬¬ -- D. Cello 04:52, February 10, 2010 (UTC)

Hey, take a peek at Mario's page and see what you think--I did a lot of work on it last night. Let me know what else I need to do to get it up to good or featured, and once it's there, I'll start work on Lorenzo de' Medici. I also have a Userbox request for you, if you're up for it. X3 AgentValentine 12:32, February 10, 2010 (UTC)

I'd like a userbox that reads "This user is a loyal servant to the Medici Family" or something similar. :3 AgentValentine 18:01, February 10, 2010 (UTC)

I love it! Thanks so much! :D AgentValentine 19:49, February 10, 2010 (UTC)

Yeah. I chose it for it's literal meaning though, "Loyal." =p It goes into my fan character, Ettore Bianca, but that's another story for another day. >_> AgentValentine 17:54, February 12, 2010 (UTC)

What made me come across that way?

like it says above, what did i do that made me seem pissed?--Spoonodeath 03:42, February 13, 2010 (UTC)

Your big letter titles on your talk page and your thanks comment here that could have been ironic. We never know what the person behind the other monitor is thinking, you know... But it's okay, you say you're not pissed, you're not pissed. -- D. Cello 03:45, February 13, 2010 (UTC)

K cool dude, in the future i now know not to use giant letters, im still new to the whole Titles thing so... yeah thanks for the advice you rock!Spoonodeath 03:51, February 13, 2010 (UTC)

I actually just bought Bioshock 2 and got it installed on the PC. I think I'm about halfway through it, but I keep going back to playing AC2 LOL AgentValentine 17:31, February 13, 2010 (UTC)

spellchecking in links

I'm sorry, I'm a bit lost here. You said I couldn't spellcheck on links. So I had to check out the piece of eden page for my mistake... So... What was I suppose to find. The most recent and most spellchecking I have done is alter Altaïr's name from Altair to Altaïr, which shouldn't effect the link. So if you could please enlighten me what I did wrong, so I won't repeat this mistake.

If I recall I only corrected Altaïr's name on that page, and changing it from i to ï, does not effect the link. I don't recall changing any filenames. But I could be mistaken, however there is no reason to get so angry. We can fix this as adults. All right, I just had the impression that you were from what you last wrote. Misunderstanding. And I'm not denying I didn't do the change of file. Must have been a mistake. I'll be more careful next time.

Sign your posts guys! -- Spoonodeath 02:08, February 15, 2010 (UTC)

I merged the Two pages! I hope that i did a good job... Spoonodeath 03:15, February 15, 2010 (UTC)

Just merged the talk pages of the two as well! ^_^ Spoonodeath 00:48, February 16, 2010 (UTC)

I think i cleaned up Lucy's page at least a little bit but probably still needs tons of sourcing and such! ^_^ --Spoonodeath 02:26, March 30, 2010 (UTC)

Ezio page featured

I think it is ready, but i am not sure if i am permitted to nominate it. would you do the honors? ^_^ --Spoonodeath 02:42, February 15, 2010 (UTC)

Sure you can do it. Go ahead. -- D. Cello 02:57, February 15, 2010 (UTC)

Done, Vote as you Wish! ^_^ Spoonodeath 03:31, February 15, 2010 (UTC)

On the topic of assassins creed two, why is altiar put under it in the section choosing on the left hand side? O.o Spoonodeath 03:38, February 15, 2010 (UTC)

Cause he appears in the game. oO -- D. Cello 04:29, February 15, 2010 (UTC)

Ahh right i forgot about that flashback level! ok... wow im scatterbrained... -_- Spoonodeath 14:47, February 15, 2010 (UTC)

How long should the voting be up, or till how many votes? O.o Spoonodeath 18:04, February 15, 2010 (UTC)

Only staff members can end the vote and add status to a page. And the duration is until all the Istruttori votes are accounted. -- D. Cello 03:13, February 16, 2010 (UTC)

Hey darlin', I cleaned up the Romantic Life section of his page for you. I'm not sure if that's enough to get it to featured, but let me know if there's any other bits you want fixed up. I've got big plans for a few different pages this week. ;D AgentValentine 06:13, February 16, 2010 (UTC)

Reeeally helped, sweetheart. =] But the pictures at romantic section look kinda of distorted to me, size and position.. maybe you can see a better arrangment for them, even remove some.. could you that for me? ;D -- D. Cello 01:53, February 18, 2010 (UTC)

KK thanks to both of you! (im gona fight for this) <(") (<---- that was a penguin!) (")> Spoonodeath 14:49, February 16, 2010 (UTC)

I fixed all Red links in Ezio's page, im not sure which sections are rough, so if you could point them out i would be happy to oblige! ^_^ Spoonodeath 23:23, February 16, 2010 (UTC)

Gahhhh! why isnt it featured yet? its been like what two months, has everyone that needs to vote voted? If not could you cheer them on? Spoonodeath 22:06, March 21, 2010 (UTC)

There 2 negatorial istruttori/staff votes against one approving. We need all the Istruttori to vote before closing. -- D. Cello 22:28, March 21, 2010 (UTC)

Robert De Sable & Maria

I saw you removed the information on the relationship between Robert & Maria, though no summary was given why. The information was based on official sources such as the strategy guide and of course the games themselves, so I'm just curious why it was removed.

Yeah, I forgot the summary, sry about that x.x
One, that was full of assumptions, what isn't allowed since this is a encyclopedia, and two, we're having a discussion going to establish if she was his student or not on her talkpage, so you can update it when we arrive at a consensus. =] -- D. Cello 16:52, February 19, 2010 (UTC)

Well it wasn't based on assumptions as said above. Maria is referred to as his steward in the strategy guide. But I'll respect your word and wait. I assume you are familiar with the information on her in the strategy guide or is that information considered to be non-canon? Altaïr 16:59, February 19, 2010 (UTC)

If it is the official strategy guide I have in mind, the same that published Fallout's, Force Unleashed's and etc, I think we can consider it canon, since it passed approval by Ubisoft and such. And sorry if it wasn't assumption, but anyway, we're getting closer to the truth now,. -- D. Cello 17:04, February 19, 2010 (UTC)

Well it's also what I added for Maria's page in 'early life', so if you want to remove that as well for the time beign... It's also based fully on the strategy guide of course. I wouldn't post anything purely on assumption and if would be an assumption, then I would only base that on already established facts, not making any lose assumptions myself of course Altaïr 17:08, February 19, 2010 (UTC)

No need, just update it when we're done. -- D. Cello 17:13, February 19, 2010 (UTC)

One last question, where is the discussion concerning Maria and Robert. I couldn't find it on Robert's discussion page, neither on Maria's. So if you could give me a link, I could try to help the Wiki out with providing information I found myself. Thanks and sorry for the inconvenience. In Maria Thorpe's discussion page oO
You posted theren can't remember? XD
Don't worry, no incovenience at all. Any questions or issues, just contact me. Ah, and remember to sign your psots, four tildes. =] -- D. Cello 17:21, February 19, 2010 (UTC) Indeed I did, but I thought you spoke of a much older discussion than that. Anyway I'll see what I can provide. Altaïr 17:24, February 19, 2010 (UTC)

Yo

I don't know if you are the lead admin, (I don't wanna spend that much time here no offince) but I think you should add this is also on the iphone/Itouch, very much like the DS.-- 22:52, February 19, 2010 (UTC)

Sorry... what?? oO -- D. Cello 23:04, February 19, 2010 (UTC)

Saracens article

Hi, I'm not a regular user on this wiki, but I stumbled upon the Saracens article and seeing that you are an admin, I just thought I would inform you 02:47, February 20, 2010 (UTC)

Holy cow, I hadn't saw that oO
Tks very much, already fixed the page. ;D
And why aren't you a regular? C'mon, join us! -- D. Cello 02:51, February 20, 2010 (UTC)

I would love to. I'm actually a regular on the Dragon Ball wiki, the only reason I visisted this wiki is b/c I just picked up Assassin's Creed. Let me tell you, it is one of the best games I've ever played. I can't wait to get my hands on Assassin's Creed II 19:11, February 20, 2010 (UTC) Sorry for butting in but I'm just curious what this is about? -- Altaïr 02:51, February 20, 2010 (UTC)

Oh, I found that the Saracens article was all messed up, so I contacted this guy, and now he has talked me into becoming a regular on this wiki :D Only problem is, I might not be as regular since I do most of my editing on the Dragon Ball wiki 19:20, February 20, 2010 (UTC)

Ok, thx for the info! Fan of DBZ myself, though these days more of Assassin's Creed. Hope the third one is gonna be better. But most of all I'm hoping for a spin-off game with Altaïr on the big consoles, rather than for the psp or DS -- Altaïr 02:51, February 20, 2010 (UTC)

It's always nice to meet a DBZ fan :D Who is your favorite character in DBZ? Also, the DS spin-offs had somehow proved to be decent and satisfying, much like the Legend of Zelda games on the DS. Personally, if I were to comapre Altair and Ezio, I'd probably say I like Ezio better, though Altair had a much better voice actor 05:38, February 21, 2010 (UTC)

Sign your posts with fourtildes. -- D. Cello 05:39, February 21, 2010 (UTC)

My favourite character is Gohan. And yeah the spin-offs were decents, but they weren't as good as the phantom hourglass or spirit tracks. And I certainly prefer Altaïr above Ezio. Anyway I don't think we should use D.Cello's page as our personal chatbox, so if you wanna talk just visit my profile or something. -- Altaïr 05:39, February 21, 2010 (UTC)

Greeeat idea. -- D. Cello 16:19, February 21, 2010 (UTC)

Was gonna suggest it too 01:32, February 22, 2010 (UTC)

Istruttori Nominations

I nominate the user Altaïr to be an Istruttore. He is a great contributor and I checked his user page and was surprised that he was just a regular user and not a part of the staff for the site. -Rixmeister (21:08) EST

Hi there. Good, but the nomination must be refered by a Istruttori, which I'm not. Please contact one of the Istruttorium members and ask if he/she can nominate him and I'll get the process moving. Is the first nom, have to keep things formal here ;D -- D. Cello 02:18, February 22, 2010 (UTC)

Oh yeah, sorry about that, I don't know what I was thinking :). I'll ask Phantom or somebody. -Rixmeister (21:39) EST

Proposed attribution policy

Hello there D. Cello/Archive2, I recently took the time to create a Watercooler forum post detailing my proposed attribution policy, which I hope the wiki will be willing to adopt by this time next week. If you could be so kind as to look over the policy and cast your vote (or comment on any changes) you can do so by following this link; Forum:Sourcing articles. Also, would you kindly pass on this post too as many users as possible, so that the vote might represent the true number of contributors to the wiki. Thank you. User:Jasca Ducato _{Council Chamber} ^{Assassination record} 15:34, February 22, 2010 (UTC)

BTW D. Cello, any chance you could put a link to the sourcing proposal up on the sitenotice for me? It looks to me like most contributors aren't even aware this is going on; that would help. Jasca Ducato _{Council Chamber} ^{Assassination record} 19:00, February 23, 2010 (UTC)

Done. -- D. Cello 19:23, February 23, 2010 (UTC)

• Well, only a few people seemed to be interested, but the attribution policy has gone through. I'm a little busy today, but I should be able to tidy up the policy and get it in working order my tomorrow evening. Jasca Ducato _{Council Chamber} ^{Assassination record} 11:24, March 2, 2010 (UTC)

thx

Lucan07 20:38, March 4, 2010 (UTC)Lucan07Lucan07 20:38, March 4, 2010 (UTC)

I don't think a page only for requirements is necessary, I'll see what can be done. In the meantime, if you just googled "AC2 specs" you would find this:

Why the delete

of the Vaulting page it was useful but it was a bit short luckily i watched the vid before it was deleted but still

Lucan07 19:39, March 13, 2010 (UTC)Lucan07Lucan07 19:39, March 13, 2010 (UTC)

P.S why when i sign my name does it say it 3 times.

First, you only have to write ~~~~, nothin more. Second, check the Free Running page. That Vaulting page had no pictures, no description of what it was, 3 lines and worse, can be a part of the Free Running article (if it isn't already). -- D. Cello 23:38, March 13, 2010 (UTC)

Attribution policy

I've typed up the new attribution policy now, you can find it here. There are a few minor edits I still have to make, when I can remember exactly what it is I wanted to change, but the current will more than adequately cover all bases methinks. I'll leave it up to you to do what you think is best, so as to get word out about the policy. Jasca Ducato _{Council Chamber} ^{Assassination record} 11:50, March 15, 2010 (UTC)

MediaWiki:Description

Hi D. Cello. I noticed that the Assassin's Creed Wiki didn't have a customized MediaWiki:Description, which provides metadata information, so I just edited it. Feel free to tweak it as you see fit. JoePlay<staff /> (talk) 18:28, March 18, 2010 (UTC)

Aah, nice. Thanks, Joe. =] -- D. Cello 19:33, March 18, 2010 (UTC)

Nominating articles

Am I allowed to nominate an article, or only admins and Isstrutori are allowed? PassiveNeoluna 22:53, March 21, 2010 (UTC)

Anyone is allowed, just follow the previous layout and format of the nominations before yours. -- D. Cello 23:01, March 21, 2010 (UTC)

I added a tag of nominating the Malik page, am I to add a voting bar in the nominnation page or wait until the Ezio article is decided on? PassiveNeoluna 23:43, March 21, 2010 (UTC)

Add it below Ezio's. -- D. Cello 23:45, March 21, 2010 (UTC)

I am seeing all of these articles saying they are being nomonated but they arent!?! Whats up with that? And is Ezio eva gonna get the fame he deserves? Find out next time on.... *enter cool soap opera name here* =D Spoonodeath 20:14, March 23, 2010 (UTC) Ezio deserves, but his article doesn't. Sorry.
About the assassination targets, Assassin's Creed Wiki:WikiProject/The Blood of a Templar|read this, maybe join in, and you'll understand it ;D -- D. Cello 23:55, March 23, 2010 (UTC)

AHHHHH ok now it all makes sense, only problem is that last time i tried to join that group i screwed up the page, u mind entering my name in for me so i dont do it again? *sacking head on wall* Spoonodeath 00:44, March 24, 2010 (UTC)

Lead Ezio quote

So as to prevent an edit war over a quote, I'll post ym reasoning for it here. The reason I chose that quote to lead the article is, not only because it shows he's an Auditore, but it shows the entire reasoning for his quest of vengance. It also shows that, despite the attempts of Brogia, the Auditore were not wiped out, and it is for that reason I feel it should remain the lead quote. Besides, the one you've put up isn't even in English, and has more to do with the Order of Assassins then Ezio himself. Jasca Ducato _{Council Chamber} ^{Assassination record} 23:04, March 29, 2010 (UTC)

I didn't put it, it was the first lead quote inserted into the page.

About the content of the quote, that one already is present inside the article, and it don't say much about the character once we remove the context. At least the "Nothing is true" one refers to the code which he and the other assassins live by, rather than something arbitrary. In a game that big, I'm sure we can find another quote besides those 2 that serve the purpose of representing the character in a oneliner. -- D. Cello 00:21, March 30, 2010 (UTC)

Targets Project

I think we should add the 10 targets you have to kill in bonfire of the vanities to the list. Just tell me y or n. o.O Spoonodeath 01:37, March 30, 2010 (UTC)

Actually, you can add all targets from all the games.
By the way, Spoon. Ezio page is being heavily edited, so when it's more stable, we'll make it featured. =] -- D. Cello 01:41, March 30, 2010 (UTC)

YAYZ!!! oh wait i think i just got rid of the nom for featured template *banging head on wall repetedly* "sigh" Spoonodeath 01:46, March 30, 2010 (UTC) And keep it that way, That page can become stable tomorrow or a year from now. -- D. Cello 01:47, March 30, 2010 (UTC)

ahh ok phew, i thought i did that just for nothing. srry if my spelling is alittle off but im wathing naruto while typing so yeah... thanks any way!

Revamping articles

A lot of articles need revamping, but from what I read in the manual style I'm still not sure what I'm meant to do. Could you elaborate on this? PassiveNeoluna 22:21, April 5, 2010 (UTC)

Revamp usually means the overall structure of an article. Characters pages that don't have Biography sections idvided by games, etc. What exactly are your doubts? -- D. Cello 22:23, April 5, 2010 (UTC)

Well I mostly focus on the grammar and content of character articles like Desmond, Lucy and of course Maria. My doubt is that my style of writing is affecting the quality of the articles since the layouts follow the manual closely. PassiveNeoluna 23:05, April 5, 2010 (UTC)

If your revamp changes the article to stay in tune with the MoS parameters, then there's nothing wrong about it. Just remember to keep personal oppinions and assumptions out. But so far, your writing seems great. -- D. Cello 23:42, April 5, 2010 (UTC)

Okay then one more thing, what is exacly wrong with the good featured articles of characters with the revamp tags? Like say Desmond and you mentioned the Maria article being crumpled. Should the good status be revoked for the latter one then? PassiveNeoluna 00:21, April 6, 2010 (UTC)

No way, rekotion involves voting process and overall downfall of article quality. -- D. Cello 00:29, April 6, 2010 (UTC)

About the Villa page, are you asking me to revert it or rewrite the content or of the sort? PassiveNeoluna 02:29, April 25, 2010 (UTC)

Sorry but I'm having trouble understanding the instruction D. Cello, I don't think I could do what you ask. And I'm wondering, am I on your watchlist? PassiveNeoluna 02:47, April 25, 2010 (UTC)

D.Cello, I spoke with Cedric about my revamping attempt for the Auditore villa page and he confirmed it to be well written, do you think the status change for it could be dropped? PassiveNeoluna 22:37, April 25, 2010 (UTC)

Independently of being well or poor writen, it doesn't follow the Manual of Style. If that page mantains the "In his adventures, Ezio finds", "renovating the villa is something the player can do" and instances like that, I'll not only remove the status, but the article completely.
It's an article about the place, not about the game. Got it now? -- D. Cello 00:19, April 26, 2010 (UTC)

Finally since all this editing is really tiring me. Why did you make me do all of this editing if you knew what was wrong? PassiveNeoluna 03:28, April 26, 2010 (UTC)

Cause you were already on it and I had 15 articles of Project Timeline to adjust. Also, it helps you understand better the manual of style so I won't have to explain it again. ;D -- D. Cello 04:15, April 26, 2010 (UTC)

Basilica di San Marco and Sequence 8 Problem

Hi, im new on this Wiki, but not new on Wikis. Can you help me a bit? I am running AC2 on PC and have a problem i am stuck at the beginning of Sequence 8 and can't start the first mission, i restarted did everything nothing happens. Another problem is that when i try tu get Amunet's seal in Basilica di San Marco the puzzle buttons are active, where as they should be activated by twisting the skull on the fake grave. After i complete the puzzle and go down to the real grave i can't open it. Please help i am desperate. I had to start the game all over because of that. But this time i have a spare savegame. --CryGame--

That problem happened a lot with some of the first leaked game versions of ACII. The illegal ones. If your version is original, it probably happen due use of a gamefix or no-cd exe. Try running with the original cd (or downloading another version) and it should work out. -- D. Cello 15:07, April 11, 2010 (UTC)

Father of Understanding

The problem with the Father of Understanding article is that there is nothing in the AC series indicating the Templar Father of Understanding is the same as this other individual. We can't assume they're the same just because they have the same name. Jasca Ducato _{Council Chamber} ^{Assassination record} 12:44, April 12, 2010 (UTC)

But that Father of Understanding isn't the real-world templars' Father of Understanding? Since you removed the portions you should have looked it out, but I've done no research on the subject and can't assure anything. -- D. Cello 13:15, April 12, 2010 (UTC)

About Altair's skill and equipment

Sorry if I made something wrong with my edit. Can i know why it had to be deleted? All I added was a few details on his skills as well as a description to his weapons. My main editor's profile is in WiCapedia, but you can answer anywhere you like. Regards Soviet SPETSNAZ 02:58, April 13, 2010 (UTC)

"As mentioned earlier", "This sword is not quite top quality, but gets the job done" and similars doesn't match the "encyclopedic way of writing", and since that article is ranked Featured, the edits must be fully compatible. Also, you described all the attacks and moves seen in the game, but it doesn't mean was the only ones he knew. Anyway, those slow, fast strikes and etc is better suited in a gameplay/real-world article about the controls and moves, and not on a character's file.
And about the gameplay pages, we're trying to implement it to separate in-game universe from our player point of view. Stay tuned for info about those pages implementation on the main page. Keep editing. ;D -- D. Cello 17:01, April 13, 2010 (UTC)

Ok, thanks D. Cello. So do you mind if I at least put a description of Altair's attire? As it's not completely given detail, and is not gameplay-linked. I'll give you a rundown before I actually put it there to see if you approve of it:

"Altair's attire is quite different from that worn by the other assassin's. He still has a hood with a beak-like design like the others, but his robes are considerably longer, forming a bird-like "tail" whenever he performs a leap of faith or when he stands on a ledge.

His waist belt is also considerably larger than those worn by other assassins because it holds five throwing knives. His waist belt got smaller when he was demoted, thus also removing his throwing knives. There is also a container for throwing knives on his right shoulder and on his left boot. A sheath for his sword can be found attached to his waist belt. His left arm has armor that is bigger than the his right, as it hides his hidden blade. The only other assassin that wears this attire his Malik.

Soviet SPETSNAZ 03:57, April 14, 2010 (UTC)

Well, his different clothing is actually related to his rank, nothing unique. We've been meaning to add it to the rank system, so instead of adding it to Altair's would you mind adding that to the ranks article? -- D. Cello 04:12, April 14, 2010 (UTC)

Auditore Exicutions

do you think we should add Alberti's letters to his wife about why he betrayed the auditore?

Timeline abbreviations

D.Cello I was thinking, should the timeline abbreviations be changed to BCE and CE instead of BC and AD? PassiveNeoluna 06:51, April 20, 2010 (UTC)

Why? oO -- D. Cello 15:28, April 20, 2010 (UTC)

Well mostly religion neutral reasons and since I thought it's the adapted terms being issued for books now. Or it's best to keep it Before Christ and Anno Domini? PassiveNeoluna 19:22, April 20, 2010 (UTC)

History-wise, the standard is BC/AD, so we shuld keep that. But what BCE and CE stand for? -- D. Cello 19:27, April 20, 2010 (UTC)

They mean Before Common Era (BCE) and Common Era (CE), it some cases the C is refered to Christ or Christian, but Common is the main meaning of it. PassiveNeoluna 22:17, April 20, 2010 (UTC)

WPtimeline

Hi there. I've noticed you've been putting the template on lots of article. now, I have no problem with that, but might I suggest you put them on the talk page? Its just, it kinda make the top of the article cluttered and unsightly having them above the main text; if they're on the talk page they're not in the way, but still show up under whatever category you've assigned to that template. Jasca Ducato _{Council Chamber} ^{Assassination record} 11:32, April 20, 2010 (UTC)

The problem is the talk pages aren't nearly as acessed as the articles pages, and that template is all about visibility, really. The only purpose is to warn people of the project's existence and that article's guidelines. I think the best visibility is on the page itself, but if the template is too big, I can reduce it size. -- D. Cello 15:38, April 20, 2010 (UTC)
