Renders

Stormeh, the new images were off the main page, which doesn't need a login, so technically, the NDA doesn't apply to them. At least that's what Kain said. ~ GI Auditore ^{Comms Channel} 07:22, October 14, 2013 (UTC)

You're saying that those high-quality images come from this picture on the log-in site? Stormbeast ♉ ^{The Helpful Place} 07:25, October 14, 2013 (UTC)

The Explore section, so yeah, no login required so no NDA applies. ~ GI Auditore ^{Comms Channel} 07:27, October 14, 2013 (UTC)

Could you please edit Category:Assassin's Creed III for me, since it's protected (for some reason), by changing :Category:Games to Category:Real world video games? Ta. --Jasca Ducato _{Council Chamber} ^{Assassination record} 09:50, October 21, 2013 (UTC)

Character images

Any chance you could grab a few screenshots of some of the characters that don't have infobox images yet? That way, people would stop uploading blurry YT shots. Capture card shots are better than YT images or nothing at all, and would be a good replacement till the PC version is out. ~ GI Auditore ^{Comms Channel} 12:35, November 5, 2013 (UTC)

What would you like me to grab? I can do it tonight, after work. Stormbeast ♉ ^{The Helpful Place} 15:58, November 5, 2013 (UTC)

Any characters that don't have renders that you're able to grab. A few modern day shots would be nice, like Garneau or Lemay, and past characters like Mary Read and Ah Tabai and the likes. It'd be great if you just looked out for screenshot opportunities as you play through :3 ~ GI Auditore ^{Comms Channel} 16:01, November 5, 2013 (UTC)

Return to Abstergo

Stormbeast, I am the original author of the article "Return to Abstergo". Would it be possible for me to participate in the revamp of the article, by adding some pictures, perhaps?

Postmanwho (talk) 09:40, November 10, 2013 (UTC)PostmanWhoPostmanwho (talk) 09:40, November 10, 2013 (UTC)

No.

Stormface, I'd rather you not revamp these quasi-memories of Desmond's field missions that the newb added. We have the Skyscrapper one already logged in 2012 conversations, and we could just move the dialogue from these over there. Otherwise we have to add pages for all the other modern day bits across the games, and those aren't really memories. --Kainzorus Prime ^{Walkie-talkie} 16:22, November 10, 2013 (UTC)

I've put this matter up for discussion/vote on the this forum page, since it's something better suited to discussion there than over edit summaries. I would appreciate your input. --Jasca Ducato _{Council Chamber} ^{Assassination record} 09:25, November 12, 2013 (UTC)

Jenkins is an important character that should be added to the wiki. It would be great to keep his page on the website.ΦΣΩ 03:01, November 13, 2013 (UTC)

As of right now, he's an unnamed, randomly-generated character, who only appears in one memory. Unless I have the wrong guy, I fail to see his importance. Stormbeast ♉ ^{The Helpful Place} 03:03, November 13, 2013 (UTC)

The information was unnecessary. It's already stated twice that his DOB is unknown. The trivia point is just mentioning his historical DOD. Also, your edit added duplicate categories. Stormbeast ♉ ^{The Helpful Place} 20:31, November 22, 2013 (UTC)

Sentences

Storm, "Ezio Auditore (subject), watching (verb) the history of humanity." is a sentence. The fact that it is also an image caption is inconsequential to the fact that it is a sentence. Granted, it should probably be changed to "Ezio Auditore watches the history of humanity." (which is still a sentence) but that's another point entirely. The Wiki agreed that captions should only have full stops when grammatically correct (i.e. at the end of a sentence), so what's the problem? --Jasca Ducato (talk | contributions) 20:14, December 3, 2013 (UTC)

So you're going to change 98% of our image captions? Because that's how most of them are structured. Stormbeast ♉ ^{The Helpful Place} 20:15, December 3, 2013 (UTC)

Duplicate

Thanks for cutting out the white background on my adewale image, but it would be better if you'd merge your version of the image with my version so people don't get confused about duplicates. MB543 (talk) 15:52, December 20, 2013 (UTC)MB543

And also make the image bigger when you merge it with mine. MB543 (talk) 16:00, December 20, 2013 (UTC)MB543

I tried updating your image, but it would only work in PNG format, not JPG; there will be no merge. If you want to use my image, you just have to change the file in your page from .jpg to .png. Also, I can't do anything about the size, because it works with the size you started with. Stormbeast ♉ ^{The Helpful Place} 17:18, December 20, 2013 (UTC)

I can't change the file, can't you just set your version as jpg then merge it? MB543 (talk) 18:39, December 20, 2013 (UTC)MB543

No, I cannot. When I uploaded the rendered version in JPG, it saves the background for some reason. The only way it works for me is to upload in PNG. Stormbeast ♉ ^{The Helpful Place} 18:41, December 20, 2013 (UTC)

We are currently switching to an in-universe category system. For this example, any category labelled "Assassin's Creed X locations" should be removed and replaced with an in-universe category, like Mexico. Stormbeast ♉ ^{The Helpful Place} 05:15, December 29, 2013 (UTC)

To quote our Sourcing policy:

"All information on an article must be attributed to a reliable source, and any material added to articles must be explicitly presented in said source." (src)

In the context of the policy, a "reliable source" is classed as information that is "published or endorsed by Ubisoft, and relate explicitly to the Assassin's Creed series." Simply put, this means that 'real-world' information has no place in our articles, unless it is referred to in published AC material. --Jasca Ducato (talk | contributions) 14:16, December 30, 2013 (UTC)

2. They guarded the fortress on Masyaf in Assassin's Creed (1)

Ironspider54 (talk) 04:01, January 9, 2014 (UTC) Ironspider54

You're saying that Apprentices guarded Tulum and Masyaf. We have no way of knowing what rank the Assassins who were guarding these areas were. One would presume they were fully-fledged Assassins. Stormbeast ♉ ^{The Helpful Place} 04:07, January 9, 2014 (UTC)

The category you added Category:Assassin's Creed: Initiates was out-of-universe, meaning it doesn't belong on an in-universe article such as Eseosa's Codex. Stormbeast ♉ ^{The Helpful Place} 22:48, February 8, 2014 (UTC)

Fair enough explanation but since it was found on the site itself shouldn't it be added to the pull down menu thing that we find at the bottom of initiates pages?--FossilLord 21:36, February 9, 2014 (UTC)

If you're talking about the Initiates navbox, there'd be no place for it. Initiates, as well as its navbox, mostly focuses on present-day events. Eseosa's Codex is clearly written in the 18th/19th century. Stormbeast ♉ ^{The Helpful Place} 02:40, February 10, 2014 (UTC)

I am and there should to be a link between where the information came from ad the source itself otherwise this wiki will become to confusing.--FossilLord 20:27, February 13, 2014 (UTC)

I'm not sure what you're getting at. The reference listed in Eseosa's Codex is our AC: Initiates article, which in turn, links to the Initiates website. Stormbeast ♉ ^{The Helpful Place} 04:34, February 14, 2014 (UTC)

Storm, I don't know whether you're confusing the Initiates content with just what's revealed in its Surveillance section, but I'd say the addition of Eseosa's Codex in an in-universe way to the Initiates navbox is more than warranted given the depth of new information it reveals about the Haitian Revolution.

Duellist portrait deletion

Hello Stormbeast, someone has been continuisly deleting my "Duelest" portrait photo from the 'Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag Multiplayer Characters' page. I've sorced the photo (I believe correctly, if not, please help me fix it.) and I posted the photo on the page with an edit summary, saying I had sourced and everything that I've been told to do. Could you please step into this problem please, I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I am only trying to help make this wiki a more updated place by uploading things. Thank you for taking the time for reading this if you have. XXUnknownAssassinXx (talk) 06:42, February 16, 2014 (UTC)

First off, it has only been reverted once, by me. We use specifically-cropped images for those pages. Secondly, I marked your image for deletion because it already exists on the wiki. Stormbeast ♉ ^{The Helpful Place} 06:45, February 16, 2014 (UTC)

Hmm, alright. I see your point now with that. Now, if I am correct, there is a space in a photos sorucing that says: '...including whether the image has been modified from the original, and how.' I take it that I could find the original photo of what I have been attempting to upload and edit it to be cut and then set to your cropping parameters (if you would tell me them, please) and I could put in that spot in the sourcing that it has been cut and cropped and put the name of the original uploader in the same place? If I am incorrect, please continue to help me. XXUnknownAssassinXx (talk) 06:55, February 16, 2014 (UTC)

I'm not sure what the parameters are. Last I checked, Nesty was the last person to work on those wall images. Stormbeast ♉ ^{The Helpful Place} 07:34, February 16, 2014 (UTC)

Thou hattest summoned me. Anyway, the problem witht he ACIV images at the moment is that we do not have images from which we can make unified wall images. I'm still looking for a few missing images, because it would be really ugly if we use renders for some, promotional art for others, and concept art for the remainders. Once I've found the necessary images, be it renders or promotional art, I'll see to the creation of wall images. Frankly, I don't really know the crop size - I just saved it in my photoshop preferences... Hope that helps. Nesty ^{Contact me!} 07:37, February 16, 2014 (UTC)

For instance, here we have Records, not Record. You see?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Records_of_the_Grand_Historian

Glad to have taught you something. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.116.166.93 (talk)

Thank you so much, Mr. Condescending-Anon. Now, let me teach you a few things.

1. Use source mode so you don't leave behind junk code.
2. Use "Preview" and make sure the link works. If you need to redirect it to a Wikipedia article that does exist use {{WP-REAL|Records of the Grand Historian}}.
3. Sign your posts.

De Fayet Image

I uploaded a picture of Pierre, Marquis de Fayet to his page however anytime i add a picture to an empty page that needs one; i have someone always undo what i try to contribute i dont understand what was wrong with the picture i uploaded of a screenshot of Pierre, Marquis de Fayet. if you could let me know so i do not make the mistake in the furture i would appreciate it. AndyC89

(I hope you don't mind me jumping in here, Storm)

Andy, your image is most likely being removed because it's not up to the Wiki's image standards. I'm going to guess the image is a still from a youtube video or something, because it's not very high quality and the subtitles are visible. If you'd find an unsubtitled image of de Fayet, you might get a pass, since the Freedom Cry articles are still in the works.

P.S. Please sign your posts. Crook ^{The Constantine District} 10:31, March 12, 2014 (UTC)

That's quite alright, Crook. I didn't have much for an internet connection last night to answer his question myself. Stormbeast ♉ ^{The Helpful Place} 13:16, March 12, 2014 (UTC)

Guanche Assassins image

Hi Stormbeast! Just to make sure, could you please go to the page ACFanon:Guanche Assassins and check if the image I uploaded is sourced?

I suck at editing, so I just need to make sure

Nay Mate Woody (talk) 08:55, March 15, 2014 (UTC)

As a personal decision, I don't read fanons. But to be clear, that's not where you source your image. You have to edit the image itself, using the template I linked you on your talkpage. Stormbeast ♉ ^{The Helpful Place} 15:35, March 15, 2014 (UTC)

Dear Stormbeast, I am Joker0002710, i can't upload a photo of Nicholas Biddle,i don't know why but Kainzorus Prime always deletes it. http://it.assassinscreed.wikia.com/wiki/Nicholas_Biddle is the site i downloaded it from, here's other info. about it http://it.assassinscreed.wikia.com/wiki/File:Nicholas_Biddle_render.png. Please see if you can upload it.And can you please tell me how you made Connor appear on the right side of your profile on Assassin's creed wiki?~Joker0002710[1]Chat Conversation End

You'll find that we already have that image here, though I believe Kain is looking for a better shot for Biddle's infobox image. As for my Connor avatar, I used this code. Stormbeast ♉ ^{The Helpful Place} 22:21, March 29, 2014 (UTC)

The Father of Understanding

Why did you delete my edit on The Father of Understanding page? DanyD (talk) 18:53, April 4, 2014 (UTC)

As stated in my edit summary, there is no source for your trivia addition. If you can find a source that verifies the in-universe Father of Understanding is "Baphomet", then feel free to re-add the information, with the correct sourcing in place. Stormbeast ♉ ^{The Helpful Place} 18:52, April 4, 2014 (UTC)

I thought with a Trivia it dosen't have to be in-universe just as long as it links with the topic. DanyD (talk) 19:05, April 4, 2014 (UTC)

The way you wrote it implied that it was true. Without a proper source, this would mean that it is speculation, which is not allowed on articles. Stormbeast ♉ ^{The Helpful Place} 19:08, April 4, 2014 (UTC)

Sorry, but I'm not touching that dead horse with a 10-foot pole. Stormbeast ♉ ^{The Helpful Place} 00:57, April 24, 2014 (UTC)

I think I'll step in here. Yes, I do know that Black Flag specifies that it's a hoax by Erudito, but since it's a statement from Abstergo and the fact that Erudito doesn't seem like the type to do that considering their interactions to you in Project Legacy and AC3's multiplayer, it may be wise to take it with a grain of salt.

To me and perhaps some others on the IRC, it's probably Ubisoft's callous way of trying to tie up old holes in the lore. Slate Vesper (talk) 01:34, April 26, 2014 (UTC)

Pages and categories

Look, I don't want to get into an edit war, but if someone clicked the Countries in Europe category, they would have to click the Portgual category just to access Portugal's article. Wikis ought to be convenient. Otherwise, I feel you ought to be consistent and remove the category from other articles eg. remove Category:Countries in North America from United States. --Alientraveller (talk) 09:36, May 22, 2014 (UTC)

I remove them as I see them, not go out searching for them, but thanks for bringing that one up. Stormbeast ♉ ^{The Helpful Place} 14:40, May 22, 2014 (UTC)

Would it not make sense to retain Category:Countries in North America but remove Category:United States? The latter category is described as "Cities and locations in the United States of America", and I'm not sure if the US itself belongs in this category. It would be like me using Category:Short blades on the Short blades article, and I don't think that would be right. --Crimson Knight _Intercom 15:13, May 22, 2014 (UTC)

Unsourced images

I just put in a picture of De Fayet for you put you just had to screw it up, Why? —unsigned comment by Raidergator (talk · contr)

I didn't "screw up" anything. Currently, your pictures are unsourced. The Louis Godin image can be added to the gallery when it's properly sourced; it's just not something we use in the infobox. As for the Pierre image, it's watermarked and has way too much black space to be a quality image. I'm sure we can get a better shot. Also, sign your posts.

You know about edit-warring, being Staff and all, so please try to refrain from doing so in future.

Adding a photo

Hi, i was wondering if their was any way, that you could redirect the place where it says "Add a Photo" to this page because I feel like many new users don't find it necessary and don't know know how to source an image and the this might give them a heads up on how this is the place where they need to upload a photo and how you need to fill in a Sourcing Template. Thanks! Raghava Shah 03:43, June 7, 2014 (UTC)

Umm...I wouldn't even begin to know where to start, as I'm not 100% sure what you're talking about. I would assume a MediaWiki change would be needed. Stormbeast ♉ ^{The Helpful Place} 03:57, June 7, 2014 (UTC)

Duplicate images? They were larger versions of the previous pictures that were posted. I think you missed the special edition. Edit: Just noticed. I'm sure I saw the previous versions, which is odd. That's why I assumed I posted larger versions. However that still doesn't explain why you removed the Pocket Watch bundle.

The older pages still have them because we haven't quite got the new navboxes up and running yet. One user got a little over-zealous and created the ACU navbox without it needing to be. My hope was to get the new ones working before there's was too much info on ACU, thus making it's creation moot. Stormbeast ♉ ^{The Helpful Place} 17:02, June 15, 2014 (UTC)

Charlestown and OOU categories

Just wanted to ask this real quick, so I know how best to proceed when I find categories like the ones used on the Charlestown page that you restored. I was under the impression that we're doing our best to remove OOU categories from IU pages. Is that not the case in certain circumstances? -Molotov.cockroach (talk) 03:05, June 20, 2014 (UTC)

"Assassin's Creed X multiplayer location" would be OOU. "X stage locations" is in-universe. Stormbeast ♉ ^{The Helpful Place} 03:07, June 20, 2014 (UTC)

Thanks for the clarification. Also, I noticed you putting a | in the category tags for some pages. What does that do? I'd like to know how to be able to use it so I can edit more comprehensively. -Molotov.cockroach (talk) 03:51, June 20, 2014 (UTC)

It's hard to explain without showing you. Let's take Havana for instance. The regular way you did it would list Havana under "H" in the Havana category. Since it is in its own category's namesake, it should appear like this. Stormbeast ♉ ^{The Helpful Place} 03:54, June 20, 2014 (UTC)

Aaah, that's very clever! I'll remember that. Thank you. -Molotov.cockroach (talk) 04:00, June 20, 2014 (UTC)

Thanks

Wikipedia's recommendation on linking is to include a link to a given topic at its first occurrence in each section of an article. External recommendations aside, I sought out to provide more linking because I myself was frustrated while I read, coming across a topic halfway through an article, wondering why it wasn't linked, and scrolling around trying to find the original occurrence of it in another section I hadn't read. My linking was in the hopes to prevent other readers from being similarly frustrated.

Though you may consider em dashes unnecessary punctuation, they provide a welcome contrast from unsightly sequences of commas, and are more appropriate than semicolons in some circumstances—not to mention that portions of the article already had hyphens in places where em dashes were intended, which is simply poor typography.

But hey, the important thing is that you made a good impression by reverting an edit made in good faith that did not actually detriment the article, and subsequently dashed away any motivation of mine to improve this wiki in subtle, but tangible, ways. Thanks. ProtonZero^[talk] 23:46, July 15, 2014 (UTC)

There's no need to be in a pouty mood, Proton. A lot of "good-faith" edits are reverted if it doesn't meet the MoS standards. First off: we're not Wikipedia. We link once (twice if there's an infobox). Secondly: make sure to preview and check where your links are sending readers; most of the ones you added are just redirects, which we refrain from using in articles. Third: I myself use CTRL+F a lot if I'm looking for a word or phrase while editing/reading. Lastly, your sarcasm is lost to me, as I'm in a fairly good mood today, so I'll just end by saying "you're welcome". Happy editing :) Stormbeast ♉ ^{The Helpful Place} 00:19, July 16, 2014 (UTC)
