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. -- 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. -- 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. -- 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. -- 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. -- 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. -- 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? -- 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. -- 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. -- 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. -- 15:10, March 31, 2013 (UTC)
 * Well with Biddle, I had moved up the fort attack to the start of 'Hunting the Templars' while placing a note later on that Connor met up with Haytham after Church and Biddle's deaths. However, if you want I could section off Connor's confrontation with Biddle. --Alientraveller (talk) 15:21, March 31, 2013 (UTC)

dont the naval missions all have a date in their opening?Malice419 (talk) 15:17, March 31, 2013 (UTC)

Yes, but my problem is that they aren't featured at all on Connor's article. Connor obtaining the Shard of Eden is quite relevant. -- 15:18, March 31, 2013 (UTC)

The new section on Connor's page makes it even more non chronological than it was. Hoping from 1773 to 1777 to 1769 etc. Not pleasant reading. -- 22:45, March 31, 2013 (UTC)

Hey master i just joiend the wiki i have been on the wiki many times but i have not made a acount but now I have.I would just like some help how to earn badges like this person has clocked assassins creed or somethingbecause i have finished all 5 games im just wondering how do i get them though?

How do you think the article is now? Also, check out a paragraph I've written in my sandbox discussing Connor's other activities, which are undated so I hope that approach is fine. --Alientraveller (talk) 17:24, April 4, 2013 (UTC)

Renders
So, I've found some absurd-res images of Rodrigo, Cesare and Lucrezia, all good to be rendered. Since we've used superior images, rather than database ones for some character infoboxes, shall I render these?

Uno Dues Tres --Kainzorus Prime Walkie-talkie  12:42, April 4, 2013 (UTC)

Rendering them and putting them on pages will always be good, of course. As for replacing them with the current infobox images. I don't know, may be a bit inconsistent. I'm fine with it, but ask what Vatsa thinks. -- 12:51, April 4, 2013 (UTC)

Hello! It's a pleasure to be part of the Wikia. Just introducing myself. Have a great day!

Oi
Sima, do you have the AC Encyclopedia? Either scanned or physical copy? --Kainzorus Prime Walkie-talkie  19:32, April 6, 2013 (UTC)


 * I have the first edition, not the second. -- 19:57, April 6, 2013 (UTC)

Le Wild Vandal Appears
As Crimson put it, "That was a highly disturbing piece of vandalism." 23:15, April 10, 2013 (UTC)

Query
Just gonna pre-emptively ask, is it gonna be ok to start uploading the Redemption screens early? --Kainzorus Prime Walkie-talkie  13:40, April 15, 2013 (UTC)


 * Seeing as people will likely start doing it anyways, I have no problems with it. Provided that the memory pages are made too so the images can be put somewhere. -- 13:47, April 15, 2013 (UTC)

No title
why must I ask you for anything?


 * Because you don't know how to sign your posts or title your messages. -- 16:46, April 16, 2013 (UTC)

Question regarding subtitles/in-game text
Apologies if this is stated somewhere in the MoS, for I have failed to see it. How strictly do we follow the subtitles/in-game text while quoting them? Down to the typos and the stylistic choices regarding emphasis? Sadelyrate (siniath) 16:32, April 16, 2013 (UTC)


 * We don't have any policy regarding this. But we don't copy typos, because that doesn't really raise this Wiki's quality. -- 16:44, April 16, 2013 (UTC)


 * What of emphasis? Is there a general preference for that? Sadelyrate (siniath) 17:10, April 16, 2013 (UTC)

Categories
Hey, Sima. You may be sick of these, but I'll keep going until one of us dies. We have a "historical characters" category, should we also have a "historical events" one? Just a thought. -- 23:39, April 20, 2013 (UTC)


 * When I have the time to implement the in-universe categories, the "historical characters" category will go. No need to really add a "historical events" one. Besides, the majority of the events are historical. -- 23:41, April 20, 2013 (UTC)

No title
Hello, new guy here. Many edits of mine has been deleted because of not sourcing images. Is this image okay? http://assassinscreed.wikia.com/wiki/File:Boston_North_End.png thanks GamezAddict008 (talk) 21:28, April 24, 2013 (UTC)


 * Maybe you could post a more accure source? The current one does not really show where the image is from, it is a link to the main website. -- 19:09, April 26, 2013 (UTC)

Map
I'll have to retract my earlier statement, apparently my complete save exploded on me, and I have to start from scratch, unless I find a replacement. So these images will take a wee bit longer. On the up side, I'll be able to replace all the low-res AC1 crap for the modern day sections. --Kainzorus Prime Walkie-talkie  20:53, April 26, 2013 (UTC)


 * Not a problem. It'll give me some time to theorize. -- 21:00, April 26, 2013 (UTC)


 * Apologies for butting in like this, but I've got a couple of screencaps of the Apple Map in AC1 before the camera zoomed out. Could I help? Sadelyrate (siniath) 21:49, April 26, 2013 (UTC)


 * I don't know. Could you? I think that, for now, they will mostly be for accuracy and writing purposes, not to put on articles. -- 21:51, April 26, 2013 (UTC)


 * Sade does a good job with bringing in hi-res images, I say give it a shot. --Kainzorus Prime Walkie-talkie  22:03, April 26, 2013 (UTC)


 * I uploaded the ones I have here: http://postimg.org/gallery/aop1vhm2/ Hopefully, there's something in them you can use. :) Sadelyrate (siniath) 22:05, April 26, 2013 (UTC)


 * Those are definitely something I can use! We should probably make our own clear map for this. -- 22:48, April 26, 2013 (UTC)


 * Once I get there, I'll see if I can rip the texture out with texmod. --Kainzorus Prime Walkie-talkie  22:58, April 26, 2013 (UTC)

Iran
You are aware that Persia was a name for Iran used by outsiders right? Or does the Encyclopedia refer to historical Iran as Persia (in which case, I'll defer to it since this is an AC Wiki). Alientraveller (talk) 17:09, April 27, 2013 (UTC)
