User talk:D. Cello

Welcome
Hi, welcome to Assassin's Creed Wiki! Thanks for your edit to the Assassins page.

Please leave a message on my talk page if I can help with anything! -- JoePlay (Talk) 21:08, October 22, 2009

Adiministrator
Hey. As this Wiki doesn't have an active administrator, I was wondering if this is a position that you'd be interested in taking. You have shown that you are dedicated to this Wiki and making sure things are in a good order/categorized correctly. Let me know if this is something you'd be interested in and I can go ahead and make it happen. - Wagnike2 22:31, November 20, 2009 (UTC)


 * Congrats, you are this Wiki's newest admin! For more information on what an administrator does and doesn't do please check out this page. Assassin's_Creed_Wiki:Administrators . If you have any other questions, feel free to hit me up on my talk page. - Wagnike2 23:22, November 20, 2009 (UTC)


 * A VfD would be an acronym for Voting for Deletion. While you can't technically call a "vote", normally you mark the article for deletion by Categorizing as an article for deletion. Then you normally use the talk page of it to say why you think it should be deleted or not. Usually my rule of thumb is to give the other members a few days to respond on that talk page, if nobody responds go ahead and make the deletion. Another option that you could do is create a new topic on the forum and discuss if it should be deleted or not. Hope that helps. - Wagnike2 03:00, November 21, 2009 (UTC)

Your reply
If you read my edit to the AC2 article, you'd see that it may be released in J,F or M

as stated
in my forum, Davinci refuses to open his door, not literally mind u, but figuratively, I'm thinking this is a glitch, but cant be sure, since i got the last 10 codex pages in a row, without getting them identified in between, now i can enter the room where i take the stuff, but he isn't there to decode them, nor is he answering his door in Venice where i thought he'd be, nor is he in the other place..wherever he was at first, i figured he wouldn't be there but i had to look, so does he move to the villa or what? cause without finding him and getting these decoded, i cant continue.Toolazytomakeaaccount 07:20, November 21, 2009 (UTC)

Vandalism/Categorizing
Hey. I just thought I'd point out these two pages to you: Assassin's_Creed_II_Quotes. I don't know if those quotes are true or not, but they seem false, however since I haven't played the game I can't confirm it as vandalism or not. And secondly, Notoriety needs some categorizing. - Wagnike2 21:10, November 21, 2009 (UTC)

Re: Quotes
I can vouch for the quotes as I played the game through not 2 days ago. I don't have any source sadly. You only have my word.- Leitchy117 11:58, November 22, 2009 (AEST)

thought id mention
since your the only active administrator...that i happen to have on my watchlist anyway..i figured id mention what id posted on (http://assassinscreed.wikia.com/wiki/Talk:Piece_of_Eden), just trying to make sure it gets to someone's attention, as i might not be the only one who could have feelings about this, needless to say i felt it needed to be said.Toolazytomakeaaccount 08:23, November 22, 2009 (UTC)

Congrats!
Hi there~! You might not know me, but I used to edit here a lot and was on wikibreak. I decided to come back, and I found that this wiki already has an admin~! Finally someone can delete those pages XD Well, let's work together from now on~! :D - Silver  Summoner TaLk 02:27, November 23, 2009 (UTC)

Re:Main Page
For featured article, you want to use the Template:FA. From there you should be able to figure out what it is, it's pretty self-explanatory and it gives you the option to write your own information instead of just merely copying the top part of the articles. For featured media, use the Template:FM, again this section should be self explanatory. Just change the file names and the information to what you like. I'm not positive if you can schedule featured articles for a day of the week, I can get back to you on that as soon as I find out. But for now, my advice would be to just change the feature article/featured media like once a week. Maybe each Monday? - Wagnike2 18:02, November 23, 2009 (UTC)

Messed up!
Ey dude i believe i messsd up here http://assassinscreed.wikia.com/wiki/Category:Assassin%27s_Creed_Voice_Actors

All the way above something about a template, you might wanna delete that, oh and yeah i just made a new page:D Phillip Shahbaz, Altair's voice actor!

Voice Actors Format/Template
Since we don't really have a "designated template" for Voice Actors. I think it would be best if we try to get pages to adhere as closely to this page as possible. I know different pages will have different categories, they may not all have quotes, or videos, but I think this works pretty well. Philip Shahbaz - Wagnike2 18:28, November 23, 2009 (UTC)


 * Might as well keep the quote feature for now how it is, I realize that it doesn't pop out that much against this background, but neither did the old format. Plus, quotes aren't that big of a concern. If I can think of a better format for it later, I'll change it up. - Wagnike2 18:46, November 23, 2009 (UTC)

Re: Welcome
Thanks, I'll try to do as much helping as I can on the wiki. VaultBoy101 02:51, November 25, 2009 (UTC)

Category
this is what I have in mind, though :

under Assassin's Creed Series main category
 * Games
 * Assassin's Creed
 * Assassin's Creed Characters
 * Assassin's Creed Assassination Targets
 * Assassin's Creed Voice Actors
 * Locations, Gameplay, Weapons (not sure about this one.. maybe we can just create a page called "list of weapons" and dump in under gameplay category.
 * Assassin's Creed II
 * Assassin's Creed II Characters
 * Assassin's Creed II Assassination Targets
 * Assassin's Creed II Locations, gameplay, etc... same as the first game.
 * Locations
 * Assassin's Creed Locations
 * Assassin's Creed II Locations
 * Characters
 * Assassin's Creed Characters
 * Assassin's Creed II Characters
 * Assassination Targets
 * Assassin's Creed Assassination Targets
 * Assassin's Creed II Assassination Targets
 * Weapons (That is, if we decided to not dump the weapon page inside gameplay)
 * Assassin's Creed Weapons
 * Assassin's Creed II Weapons
 * Gameplay
 * Assassin's Creed Gameplay
 * Assassin's Creed II Gameplay

This is currently what I have in mind I'll add more later on~ ^^ - Silver  Summoner TaLk 02:56, November 27, 2009 (UTC)


 * Great, I've seen you're already implementing it. The weapons category seems to be working alright and is coherent, I think we could leave it. =] -- D. Cello 15:40, November 28, 2009 (UTC)

Thanks
Hey, thanks for the welcome. I'm just glad I can contribute what I can for the AC wiki. More power to this wiki!

Antonio Maffei
just a question: is antonio maffei (assassination target in san gimignano in ac2) is the same father maffei in lineage?


 * Yep, that's him. The conspirator, right? And remember, sign your posts. ; ] -- D. Cello 15:33, November 30, 2009 (UTC)


 * @D. Cello: thanks. the info's helpful for the improvement of AC Lineage -- Crimson Psyche 16:01, November 30, 2009 (UTC)

re:wiki Improve

 * eh.. you can just call me Silver XD
 * That'd be great, of course. May I know what is your idea? =D - Silver  Summoner TaLk 15:37, November 30, 2009 (UTC)

I'm not gonna copy the answer here. xD Where it's gonna be, my place or yours? -- D. Cello 19:28, November 30, 2009 (UTC)

Checking in.
I figured that I'd check in with you, see how things have been going since you became admin, and ask if there is anything that I could help you out with at the moment. - Wagnike2 19:26, November 30, 2009 (UTC)

Gallery question
Hey D. Cello, I've got a question. Is there a way to make an image gallery minimize/expand? I've been uploading a bunch of pictures, and I don't want to overpower my user page.
 * I use my capture card to record a quick HD movie, then I just take screenshots :) --Zwoooooosh 22:18, November 30, 2009 (UTC)

Clever. =] -- D. Cello 02:53, December 1, 2009 (UTC)

Sure. I just started a new playthrough yesterday so it'll be no trouble to get images. :) --Zwoooooosh 11:27, December 1, 2009 (UTC)
 * Youtube videos are allowed, right? I'm uploading a bunch now (targets video), and I didn't think to check.

They are, but make sure to leave a spoiler tag or they will be removed. -- D. Cello 17:53, December 1, 2009 (UTC)
 * Fair enough. I don't think the videos are anymore harmful than actually reading the wiki, but I'll spoiler tag 'em. :)

A video showing the target and location of a story assassination can upset a great number of people. It's like a walkthrough with images. Instead of putting a spoiler bar, you can just advertise about the content. ;]-- D. Cello 18:38, December 1, 2009 (UTC)
 * Oh sorry, maybe I should've been more specific. The video doesn't show the assassination, its their database entry. Here, there's a link to all 9 on my user page. If you still think its a little too risky, I'll keep using spoilers. --Zwoooooosh 18:47, December 1, 2009 (UTC)

Oh, fantastic! Don't worry, those need no spoiler tag at all. -- D. Cello 18:49, December 1, 2009 (UTC)
 * Hey, I uploaded a bunch of screenshots from sequence 03. Probably more than you wanted, but you can just pick which ones you want to use and leave the others. :) --Zwoooooosh 00:17, December 2, 2009 (UTC)

Great, that's nice. Keep posting, we'll sure make use of them ;]. You don't happen to have a screen from Ezio as Altaïr, has you? -- D. Cello 12:57, December 3, 2009 (UTC)
 * I've uploaded a couple more images today, including two of Ezio in Altair's outfit. In my gallery, as always. :) --Zwoooooosh 22:54, December 3, 2009 (UTC)

Don't suppose you mean like, do you? I took it earlier, dunno if its what you're looking for. Would you prefer a picture of Altair's armor (on the armor stand or Ezio) + the entire statue? --Zwoooooosh 19:34, December 6, 2009 (UTC)
 * Alright, uploaded a bunch more images. Hopefully ones good enough. :) --Zwoooooosh 20:36, December 6, 2009 (UTC)

Fantastic work, friend. Not words enough for what you're doing, keep up! ;D -- D. Cello 20:38, December 6, 2009 (UTC)

Oh wow, thanks bud, I appreciate being included. :D --Zwoooooosh 22:47, December 8, 2009 (UTC)

Cape Question
Hey D.Cello how am i supposed to get the forli cape? i finished the main storyline, am i missing anything?--Shadows473 03:20, December 1, 2009 (UTC)
 * You need to find 100 feathers. Good hunting. -- D. Cello 03:26, December 1, 2009 (UTC)

Thankers--Shadows473 00:26, December 2, 2009 (UTC)

... what Forlì cape? Finding 100 feathers gives you the Auditore cape. Am I missing some estranged piece of knowledge? --Aftyn 05:44, December 3, 2009 (UTC)


 * Then I misundertstood the cape in question... -- D. Cello 12:47, December 3, 2009 (UTC)

Greetings
I don't know whether that was an auto thanks message for my edit from the website,but if not then no problem.And please tell me some articles that you would like someone to edit some things if he knows.I'd like to help out.

-Sirius

Later...


 * Hey. If you know about Machiavelli, that would be a good place to start... And you can check the to see which articles need expanding. -- D. Cello 18:44, December 1, 2009 (UTC)

Sword Replica Image
It's impossible to tell the true source of the picture. All the websites where they sell the replica of the sword use that same picture. Do a simple Google Image of "Altair sword", which is how I stumbled onto it. -- OpVines 20:27, December 1, 2009 (UTC)

DLC
Hey man, I noticed that the DLC was officially announced today so I updated the main page news, updated the ACII template, and created a page for the Assassin's Creed II DLC. Keep up the good work around here. - Wagnike2 20:30, December 1, 2009 (UTC)

new template
....and please welcome, the new template~! simply type and this is what you'll get:

so, what say you? =D - Silver  Summoner TaLk 02:55, December 2, 2009 (UTC)
 * Edit: oh and I also want to propose one thing: I suggest we turn off the wiki bot thingy that will automatically greet new users, and to do the welcoming manually (by placing the welcome template, that is~) That way, us editors will have more reasons to talk to each other XD - Silver  Summoner TaLk 02:58, December 2, 2009 (UTC)

Very nice, way better than that lame one liner. Now, it's... cozy. xD

Great, let's deactivate the bot, less work, what could happen?? T.T

Since I didn't become admin to sit and do nothing, let's socialize! =D How we deactivate that thing, and how we get notified whenever a new user registers? (I'm completely assuming you know how to do it, Summy) Ah, just one more question: the message would be the same that crazy AI send, but the difference would be that *we* would be typing it? -- D. Cello 03:27, December 2, 2009 (UTC)


 * well... *ahem* you can call me Silver. In fact, please call me silver. XD
 * In fact, I do not know how to deactivate that bot. I usually mess around with categories and templates and links so I'm not sure... bout new users, you can view the list of the new users in the Special:Logs/newusers. It's visible in the recent changes under "user creation log". so don't worry bout that~ ^^
 * I dont really understand bout your last question O.o but.. yeah, if the bot is turned off, then we should type the welcome template thingy to new users manually. Just simply type and then sign it with four tildes will do ^^ -  Silver  Summoner TaLk 03:46, December 2, 2009 (UTC)
 * Edit: to disable the bot, go to MediaWiki:Welcome-user and replace the content with @disabled. I can't disable it since I'm not an admin XD - Silver  Summoner TaLk 03:54, December 2, 2009 (UTC)

Okay, Summy, I'll call you Silver. If I disable the bot, the only difference would be me having to type the thing personally, while the AI already does that for me. I'm not seeing a advantage here. -- D. Cello 04:07, December 2, 2009 (UTC)


 * You can type the message personally. That is exactly the advantage. That alone can strengthen the bond between us editors~ ^^ And close community will make great wiki, no? That is what's happening in my previous wikis though~ ^^ - Silver  Summoner TaLk 13:54, December 2, 2009 (UTC)

You're starting to sound like a Jedi... ^^ -- D. Cello 00:45, December 3, 2009 (UTC)


 * LOL well.. I don't watch Star Wars so I have no idea =P So, it's yay or nay? - Silver  Summoner TaLk 01:21, December 3, 2009 (UTC)

Not sure, I'm considering doing both, I won't be able to check the new user pages every 5 minutes... -- D. Cello 01:46, December 3, 2009 (UTC)


 * Eh.. who says you must check every 5 minutes? I mean, other users can welcome new users as well, so it's not only you who'll be doing that, you know? @.@ you don't have to be an admin to welcome users XD - Silver  Summoner TaLk 01:57, December 3, 2009 (UTC)

Yeah, but what kind of admin would I be? It's like throwing a party and leaving for the movies, ain't the kind of thing you would tell your friends about.

Though it would be nice for people to greet each other, but we'ould need to warn them about that.. -- D. Cello 02:27, December 3, 2009 (UTC)


 * What do you mean what kind of admin? @.@ - Silver  Summoner TaLk 02:34, December 3, 2009 (UTC)

Whatcha think, sweetheart? -- D. Cello 22:40, December 8, 2009 (UTC)

Ezio's baby moma
maybe someone can help me with this one, cuz i would really like to know who everyone thinks ezio is going to have a child with

Everybody thinks Rosa--Shadows473 03:48, December 3, 2009 (UTC)

But what about that lady you save in Forlì who Desmond thinks looks like Maria? Though that sort of brings reincarnation into the picture, which is a whole other area... Nevertheless, that's who my thoughts lie with. --Aftyn 05:42, December 3, 2009 (UTC)

Ahh, what? Ignore that. I got a couple names mixed up. Also situations... I'm not sure what my head was doing. The above opinion is totally invalid, haha. I guess my new opinion is probably Rosa as well, though it could be someone from those currently corrupted memories. --Aftyn 09:50, December 5, 2009 (UTC)

About the dlc
How much do you think the dlc will be?--Shadows473 03:48, December 3, 2009 (UTC)
 * Can't be sure, but I would guess from 4.99 to 9.99 depending on content. It's the average price. When it's announced, we'll update it. -- D. Cello 12:46, December 3, 2009 (UTC)

regarding the welcome thing
so what say you? yay or nay? :D - Silver  Summoner TaLk 13:15, December 3, 2009 (UTC)

Yay, sweetheart. yay. -- D. Cello 13:23, December 3, 2009 (UTC)

Yay~! :D then please @disabled thingy in the MediaWiki:Welcome-user thing... that is, if you don't mind~ :D - Silver  Summoner TaLk 14:24, December 3, 2009 (UTC)

Disabled, Silver. Knock yourself out. -- D. Cello 19:27, December 4, 2009 (UTC)
 * Aye aye, Cap'n :D now let's welcome those new users~ :D - Silver  Summoner TaLk 02:01, December 5, 2009 (UTC)

ACII Walkthrough
Hey man, I think we really need to pound out/get the walkthrough finished for Assassin's Creed II as quick as possible. I was wondering somehow though, how come in each DNA Sequence we don't have the "Missions" names. For example, I'm looking at [| this source] and wondering how come we aren't doing something similar. Get back to me asap. Thanks. - Wagnike2 22:17, December 3, 2009 (UTC)


 * Alright, that's cool that you can't help write it. I'll try to get as much done on it as possible tomorrow. - Wagnike2 01:28, December 4, 2009 (UTC)

My plan was to start working on the walkthrough after finals, which are next week. Gotta study. D: I'm definitely good for it if you don't get much done because I'd really enjoy working on it. I just can't start it right now. --Aftyn 07:32, December 4, 2009 (UTC)


 * Got the walkthrough done. I'm sure it could use improvement in a few spots. But, it's done for now. - Wagnike2 20:34, December 4, 2009 (UTC)

That was fast... great, we'll improve it over time. ;D -- D. Cello 20:52, December 4, 2009 (UTC)

Ah, thanks! Though yeah, speedy Wagnike2 here got it finished already. (: But I wrote up the first mission of the first sequence just to show my thoughts in the direction I planned on going. It's on my sandbox page: http://assassinscreed.wikia.com/wiki/User:Aftyn/sandbox Links where appropriate, of course, but I didn't add any since it's just the sandbox. Were I writing up the whole thing, it would be explained, just in case, at the top of the page that in the >>Mission Title<< section, italic text is the cutscene description, regular is more directions to the player (hence the presence of "you"). But I wasn't sure if so many spoilers (which would appear, of course, were all cutscenes laid out in such a fashion) were acceptable for what this guide is all about. What're your thoughts? (:

It seems alright. Since it's a walktrough, there will be spoilers (so they're completely allowed), but I'm gonna put a warning about them on top later, don't worry about it. Just keep in mind while writing to try and not stretch the text with unnecessary details, it polutes the page and makes it boring-hard to read. ;] -- D. Cello 19:03, December 5, 2009 (UTC)

Yeah, obnoxious to read and equally as obnoxious to write. I'll definitely be keeping that in mind. (: Also I'm really sorry about the stub page thing. What I clicked on said something to the effect of editing the template for /that page/. Or at least that's how I interpreted it. ): --Aftyn 00:59, December 7, 2009 (UTC)

No problem, nothing that couldn't be repaired. ;] -- D. Cello 15:05, December 7, 2009 (UTC)

question
Do you think the name "Assassin's Creed Assassination Target" is too long for a category name? =/ any better ideas? - Silver  Summoner TaLk 03:53, December 8, 2009 (UTC)

You can just diminish it to AC... I do that when mentioning Lineage or any other game/reference. -- D. Cello 14:03, December 8, 2009 (UTC)


 * Nah I can't... =/ that's just kinda "ugly" for a category name... maybe move to "Assassin's Creed Target"? - Silver  Summoner TaLk 14:50, December 8, 2009 (UTC)

"Assassin's Creed Targets" works too. -- D. Cello 15:00, December 8, 2009 (UTC)

Re: FA and GA
Hey man, I'm pretty well done editing for the night. But I promise you that I will look into it the first thing tomorrow and get back to you ASAP. - Wagnike2 23:55, December 8, 2009 (UTC)


 * So I was trying to figure it out today, I see how it works on Wookiepedia. I just can't really figure out how to get it working here/ I'm not that great with the coding. You might want to ask Joe about it. He has been doing this a lot longer than I do/ knows code a lot better. Sorry, that I couldn't be more helpful. - Wagnike2 17:45, December 9, 2009 (UTC)

Great, Nic. Thanks for trying. ;D Already contacted him, I'll let you know when he replies. -- D. Cello 18:11, December 9, 2009 (UTC)


 * By any chance, do you mean something like this? --> -  Silver  Summoner TaLk 01:20, December 10, 2009 (UTC)

Yeah, something like that.. You know how to do it, Silver? -- D. Cello 01:58, December 10, 2009 (UTC)
