Boston North End
I'd just like to say you're doing some great work with the multiplayer pages, getting them images and all. However, is there any chance you can find a version of the aerial image that doesn't have a watermark on it? (Ubisoft logo in the bottom corner) 21:44, August 1, 2013 (UTC)

Oh damn. I totally didn't see that there. I just procure my images from the internet, one of the admins on the Ubisoft Forums posted them some time ago. I'm afraid all I can do is cut off the partition with the watermark on it. I don't really like that as a solution, but I can't think of anything else. I've had a browse, but I haven't found one for Boston North End without a watermark :/ Crookandcharlatan (talk) 21:53, August 1, 2013 (UTC)

Protip
Add |250px| argument to the thumbnails in the main body, as that's the standard we use. Apart from the galleries, which are 180px. --Kainzorus Prime Walkie-talkie  21:56, August 4, 2013 (UTC)

Sorry, the pages I edit usually already have images, which aren't always set at 250px. I'll try to be more vigilant in the future :) Crookandcharlatan (talk) 21:58, August 4, 2013 (UTC)

Congrats!
Nice! You have made your mark. I also want to congratulate you on creating Mushrooms, contributing a lot to pages, and in particular, multiplayer pages, and putting up community discussions for changing images. You are becoming serious like admins! Once you reach 500 mainspace edits, I'll come back. Arriverderchi. Altaïr Skywalker 47 Agency Laptop 10:27, August 11, 2013 (UTC)


 * Thanks ^^; What happens at 500 edits, though? You have me curious :P Crookandcharlatan (talk) 10:38, August 11, 2013 (UTC)


 * Wait and see :) Altaïr Skywalker 47 Agency Laptop 11:22, August 11, 2013 (UTC)

IRC
If you have not yet tried the chat channel, go for it :) I recommend 'Crook', but it is always your choise. Your good behaviour and good wiki-progression ensures you a better future. By the way, you are nearing 500 mainspace edits, See for yourself! :) Altaïr Skywalker 47 Agency Laptop 01:49, August 18, 2013 (UTC)


 * I have already made an account for the IRC, Alty. I probably should have chosen "Crook", but I just typed out Crookandcharlatan, which got shortened, so on the IRC I'm "Crookandcharlat" lol. Thanks anyway :) Crookandcharlatan (talk) 08:53, August 18, 2013 (UTC)

Apprenticeship
Crook, I suggest that you must apply for apprenticeship! You have reached for its requirements! I hope you will respond to this message...

Cheers from the apprentice,

10:49, August 25, 2013 (UTC)


 * Agent G! :'( I was going to surprise him. You've spoiled it :'( *cries*. I was telling him that I'd notify him when he'll meet the requirements! Altaïr Skywalker 47 Agency Laptop 08:09, September 1, 2013 (UTC)


 * Oh, I'd forgotten to reply to this ^^; Umm, thanks Agent231 and Alty, I will definitely be trying out the apprenticeship after I've done my last exam on monday. Fingers crossed I'll get through the interview :P (though before that, fingers crossed i'll actually pass my exam :I) Crookandcharlatan (talk) 08:13, September 1, 2013 (UTC)


 * Just a quick heads up, brush up on your AC lore when you choose to apply. It will help. :) Slate Vesper (talk) 17:16, September 1, 2013 (UTC)


 * Once you get the knowledge part done, it's easy sailing from there, so dont worry too much :> -- Fragment -Animus- 19:02, September 2, 2013 (UTC)


 * I guess your exam is over as here is Tuesday. Come here :). Altaïr Skywalker 47 Agency Laptop 01:32, September 3, 2013 (UTC)

Mentoring
Hey, Crookandcharlatan, I was looking through the IRC logs and noticed you were looking for a mentor. I am available, if you're shopping. My most recent Apprentice, Arcemz, has graduated, and he is considering when to go through the nomination and approval process for the Bureau. I'm usually on IRC from 9ish-midnight CDT, and my IRCbot, TheRaven, takes messages for me. Just let me know if there's anything I can do for you. Thanks. DarkFeather Raven's NestRaven's Hunt 04:07, September 3, 2013 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the offer, DarkFeather :) There's a bit of a problem with timezones though; if my calculations are correct, you're on the IRC when I'm asleep ^^; 9PM for you corresponds to 4 AM for me. That's a bit of an inconvenience, since I'm likely to be hitting you up for advice often (I assume), and I'd prefer to do that in conversation. Regardless I'd be honoured to have you as mentor :) Crookandcharlatan (talk) 06:37, September 3, 2013 (UTC)


 * If he is not available, message his bot by typing "r. msg " without the "s, alright? Altaïr Skywalker 47 <span style="font-family:Copper;font-size:(Size)px;color:#FF0000;">Agency Laptop 06:33, September 3, 2013 (UTC)

Hey, Crook. You beat me to it, but I wanted to confirm we will be paired for the Apprentice Initiative. Thanks, and welcome to the Initiative! <font color="#000">DarkFeather <font color="#FFF">Raven's Nest<font color="#F00">Raven's Hunt 03:10, September 7, 2013 (UTC)
 * 1) To answer your IRC question, I think we can make it work -- I will available most of the day Saturdays, which seems to include the time you're usually on. When you usually log off is about an hour before I can log in, so for critical problems you can always catch me then. Otherwise, my talkpage and TheRaven will be waiting for you. If you are available tomorrow, please try to sign in during your normal hours and I will meet you then so we can talk about this.
 * 2) For your first assignment, please revamp Aveline de Grandpré to Manual of Style standards. From my first-pass look at it, the referencing needs some updating -- general standards usually recommend a sourcing at the end of each paragraph. Moreover, the paragraphing is a bit abbreviated in places and could be unified into more substantial units; there also areas of grammar errors, etc. that can be repaired. Make sure you sandbox your edits -- I've taken the liberty of creating you a second sandbox and tagging the page with the App Revamp template.

Finished
Hey crook, just so you know, when you update the article you have finished revamping, remove the Apprentice template at the top :> -- Fragment -Animus- 00:55, September 9, 2013 (UTC)


 * Just to make sure you've fully revamped Aveline's page, could you include the part where Aveline rescues Therese and brings her to Madeleine? It seems a little out of place to introduce her at the Chichen Itza part, since it assumes that the reader has already encountered her.


 * Edit: Before I forget, a useful tip to remember is that you can put the first capital of any page you want to link to as it is in lowercase. For example, whip can simply be placed as whip and still be a correct link. However, when you use another name for the hyperlink, make sure the original page is typed out how it is before the "|", and that the rule cannot be used in such a way: siege of masyaf is invalid, as opposed to siege of Masyaf . Slate Vesper (talk) 01:19, September 13, 2013 (UTC)


 * Also, another tip (for future reference) make sure if you ever do a historical revamp to not include TOO much information, as sometime too much is either not necessary or just takes away from the article itself...but your Aveline revamp is lookin good (so this tip doesnt really directly apply to it lel) :> -- Fragment -Animus- 01:34, September 13, 2013 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the tips, guys ^^


 * To Slate: I wanted to include Thérèse, but I was unsure how to incorporate it since it would kind of drag out the entire section under Asssassination of Governor d'Abbadie. I'll try and see if I can still get her in there, or under a different header :)
 * To Frag:  I know, I was following the general rule that a paragraph should be somewhere between 3-5 sentences long and I really struggled with it at some points. Return to Chichen Itza sounds a bit awkward, so I might go and redo that as well. I'll keep the "degree of detail" in mind.

ACL
You have ACL? I'm going to get a PSP soon, so, can you give me your review about it in minimum words? Altaïr Skywalker 47 (talk) 14:13, September 16, 2013 (UTC)

AC3L*, PS Vita* :P Slate Vesper (talk) 14:21, September 16, 2013 (UTC)


 * ACL? You mean Assassin's Creed III: Liberation for the PS Vita? I actually don't have it, I recently watched a playthrough of it on youtube. I don't have any actual on-hands experience with the game, but I suppose I can give you some pointers.


 * Apparently it has some framerate issues (it's the Vita after all; Liberation is a pretty big game for a portable console), especially if you're running through the environment really fast. New Orleans seems more fun to free-run through than Boston or New York :)  Aside from that it has the occasional minor glitch, but nothing too serious (don't quote me on this though, player experience can vary and I might've just seen a playthrough by a lucky person :P). The graphics are impressive for the Vita, but obviously can't be compared to consoles/pc. The story is a little disjointed, but Aveline as a protagonist is quite badass. Also some of the special Vita features can be quite gimmicky - apparently one involves pointing a light at the Vita's camera or something, and it doesn't always function as it should.


 * You might want to wait for the HD re-release though, in early 2014. I'm very excited for it, personally :) Crookandcharlatan (talk) 14:23, September 16, 2013 (UTC)

Promotion and next assignment
Congratulations are in order, if a bit belated, Crook. Work has kept me busy the last few days. You passed your first assignment, as we knew you would. So, you have a promotion and a new task waiting in your Pigeon Coop. Good hunting, and r.msg me if you have any questions. I will try to catch up with you sometime this week so we can go over it.

Crook: personal note. You need not spell Wiki. It's wiki. Wikia is a company (as you know) and should be typed with W in caps. Thanks. Altaïr Skywalker 47 (talk) 10:50, September 20, 2013 (UTC)

I did not know Wikia was a company :P Regardless, thanks for the tip. 11:18, September 20, 2013 (UTC)

Not a problem :) You're still not sourcing your images though... I'll swing by your talkpage in a second with some useful links. Also, using headers on people's talkpages allows it to remain orderly, so keep that in mind for next time. 21:44, September 27, 2013 (UTC)

Image request
I once requested Aita's full body render too. See the completed requests section. Kain said that he was a minor character and doesn't view in an angle to view and render his body in full. Altaïr Skywalker 47 (talk) 08:10, September 29, 2013 (UTC)

Hmm, I see. I'll contact him about it and see if there's another way to go about this. Thanks for telling me 08:13, September 29, 2013 (UTC)


 * Always welcome. Altaïr Skywalker 47 (talk) 08:14, September 29, 2013 (UTC)


 * I'd appreciate you not going ahead and deleting my request though :/ I'm reinstating it until I get confirmation from another administrator or people who do occupy themself with screenshots and renders 08:16, September 29, 2013 (UTC)


 * You got your first proof from my deleted request, which is striked because of the Juno render, and second proof is the deletion of the request by Storm. Altaïr Skywalker 47 (talk) 08:23, September 29, 2013 (UTC)

Rank 3
Crook, do change your userpage, which currently states that you're rank 2, to rank 3. You've been promoted! Congratulations btw. Altaïr Skywalker 47 (talk) 10:31, September 30, 2013 (UTC)


 * I know, the problem is, I don't know what a rank 3 apprentice is called ^^; I shall have to ask my mentor at some point, when he comes online. Thanks anyway :P 10:32, September 30, 2013 (UTC)


 * You do not need to, see Teller's blog. Ranks are: Recluta, Servitore, Assistente, Milite, Disceplolo, Mercenario, Guerriero, Sentinela, Mandatario, Silenziatore, Operativo, Veterano, Assassino, Maestro, and Maestro Assassino. Altaïr Skywalker 47 (talk) 11:32, September 30, 2013 (UTC)


 * Nesty told me those are outdated; I think apprentices only need to ascend 10 ranks now before being (possibly) promoted into the the bureau. That blog post was made quite some time ago, so it's natural things have changed :) I feel I might have made a mistake, calling myself "assistente" when I was rank 2... I think that should've been "servitore" and I've only just become an "assistente". Regardless, I'll go ask Darkfeather or someone else on the IRC later today :P 11:48, September 30, 2013 (UTC)

Harvested v real name
Hi Crook, I've noticed that you've gone through all the Animi Avatar articles and changed "real name" to "harvested from"; I'm not sure that is, strictly speaking, correct, as it implies they took the memories from the characters directly, rather than from one of their ancestors. I'll leave it up to you to choose what to do... -- 16:11, September 30, 2013 (UTC)


 * Descendants, Jasca. Altaïr Skywalker 47 (talk) 16:15, September 30, 2013 (UTC)


 * Eugh, true enough. I always get that wrong... my point remains though. -- 16:18, September 30, 2013 (UTC)


 * Abstergo would have to get to that ancestor and then harvest the memories of said ancestor to enable them to create their Animi Avatars. Whoever they used to get there has never been elaborated, so we can't really go into that part. Slate Vesper (talk) 16:20, September 30, 2013 (UTC)


 * It seems your question's been answered, for I take too long in writing up replies :P It was Slate who jumpstarted that change by the way, I just went along with it. I suppose "harvested from" represents better that the Animi Avatars are based on the characters? 16:22, September 30, 2013 (UTC)

Correct me if I'm wrong, but he's talking about changing "Harvested" to something else, not mentioning the descendants in which the memories were harvested from Altaïr Skywalker 47 (talk) 16:24, September 30, 2013 (UTC)

EDIT: That was for Slate. Altaïr Skywalker 47 (talk) 16:25, September 30, 2013 (UTC)
 * Indeed. Since the memories were not harvested directly from, for example, Vlad Tepes, but rather a descendant of his (who's name we do not know), I would probably think it better to change it back to "real name", or something to that effect. -- 16:27, September 30, 2013 (UTC)


 * I do think the same, Jasca. I support your idea, but that sounds like a bit OOU... Altaïr Skywalker 47 (talk) 16:30, September 30, 2013 (UTC)


 * The genetic memories were harvested from the counterpart to the Animi Avatar's lifetime. For instance, despite being from an unknown descendant, the genetic memories were harvested from Vlad Tepes' lifetime, which Abstergo accessed through Vlad's descendant.


 * Also, having "harvested from" prevents users coming to the wiki and believing that Vlad Tepes and the Count are one in the same, even though the Count was produced as a 3D model in Abstergo's Animi applications. Slate Vesper (talk) 16:35, September 30, 2013 (UTC)


 * /switches sides to Slate leaving Jasca on the other side..... alone... Muhuahuahua!! Altaïr Skywalker 47 (talk) 16:38, September 30, 2013 (UTC)
 * It's still incorrect though, unfortunately. Hmmmmm, how about "(Avatar of xxx)", or something to that effect? -- 11:02, October 1, 2013 (UTC)

Sorry to bump into an old discussion, but Jasca is correct: harvested from is blatantly incorrect. -- 12:15, December 26, 2013 (UTC)

File:Charlotte Dubois.jpg
Crook, I noticed you uploaded File:Charlotte Dubois.jpg as gave it a Fair Use licence. I assume you have explicit permission from the photographer to upload the image? -- 12:25, October 1, 2013 (UTC)


 * Weelll... The image was sent to me by Charlotte Dubois herself, cause I asked her if she would like to provide a picture for her article. However, the picture wasn't actually made by her, I'm aware (she didn't provide a source so I had to look for it myself). Because the types of licensing are still vague to me, I asked the advice of Nesty, and she recommended the Fair Use license. 14:59, October 1, 2013 (UTC)


 * What's your line of contact? :0 202.164.150.213 16:11, October 1, 2013 (UTC)


 * PM via Ubi Forums. Who's this btw? :P 16:12, October 1, 2013 (UTC)

On Allies of the Templars and Assassins in AC3
Hi. Well if you read they're profiles, (Dr. Wolcott's and Alsoomse's) Dr. Wolcott was obvious commissioned if not hired from time to time by the English Colonial Assassins branch as an on-call interigator and torturer for them, since he worked almost exclusively on Templar 'patients'. And thanks for bringin' that up about Alsoomse, guess she was an ally to the Enlgish Colonial brotherhood branch after all. If it's alright with you, I'm gonna switch back Dr. Wolcott in the two member's lists. But yeah. Thanks for noticin' my editin' contributions to this wonderful wiki we love! ^_^

Have a good one, friend. M4 C-Corp (talk) 21:14, October 18, 2013 (UTC)


 * I have read both their profiles and I'd like to argue the contrary. The two paragraphs below constitute the hacked version of Victor Wolcott's biography:


 * A learned man of science, Dr. Wolcott thrived on the acquisition of knowledge and power. He had a particular fascination with biology, medicine and the { { inner workings of the human body } }> occult; so much so that it was rumored he had devised an elixir potent enough to keep his Templar patients alive well beyond traditional medicine’s capabilities.


 * (I wonder if Wolcott's research was based on Flamel's work...I bet Giovanni and Maria would know!)


 * You'll notice the biography focuses on keeping Templar patients "alive", in fact, there's not a mention of torture. I know that the "torture" part appears in the Wiki article, but that piece of information comes from an external source, the Ubisoft site itself, which is put second to information given to us by the game. Another thing that does not stroke with the Assassins is the mention of "power"; the Assassins are not focused on power, but on liberty and equality, they would not consort with an individual such as Wolcott. I also believe that if they wanted somebody tortured, I'm sure there'd be enough members within the order that were capable of such things.


 * So yeah, in my opinion, Wolcott does belong with the Templars rather than the Assassins (don't you think his design is kind of obviously evil?). I'll be switching him back to the article I'd originally put him, if you have any objections, please write up a reply :)


 * Thank you for your recent edits by the way; this one just happens to be one I disagree with. 21:46, October 18, 2013 (UTC)


 * Hello there, again, Crook.  I have read that hacked version of his profile that Erudito 'leaked' to us in multiplayer that is.  Well yes, I guess he was an on-call doctor for the Templars than the Assassins.  Thanks for lettin' me know that.  Also I was actin' hastly and was just excited to make those lists and edited them as such today.  Other than that, since I'm not big into the multiplayer of this game (it's not for me, I've tried it... trust me) do you know any vids or anywhere online where I can read all the actual profiles shown in the game or are the profiles on this wiki just as good if not better?  Just askin'.  Thanks for correctin' me too though.


 * The Abstergo Story has the hacked profiles of all AC3 multiplayer characters, if that's what you're looking for :) Most of the times, the Wiki articles for the characters also suffice, but just in case you want the information directly from the game.


 * And no worries, I've made mistakes during hasty editing as well. Thanks for your contributions and I hope you stick around ^^ 10:17, October 19, 2013 (UTC)


 * Ah ha. I hear ya. Thanks for redirctin' me to that entry as well. It does have all of them on there and I'll go through all of them then. Thanks for that link too! :3 But yeah, I'm a history major and a history buff in general and this time period is still looked upon with a great deal of scrutiny today as Achilles stated to Connor in-game. Still it's too bad that Alsoomse and Nukilik's characters were made up by Abstergo as revealed by Erudito in the hacked avatar profiles. Oh well. Begger's can't be choosers right? Plus you're welcome on my edits/contributions recently. I think I will be stickin' round for a long time. Have a good one! ^__^

 * Kinda high contrast, but much better than having to screencap her at the beginning of Unmanned while aiming a pistol for close up. I should be able to render and fix it up. Thanks mate.


 * See if you can extort more of these images from her. We'll compensate you for dinners by candlelight and stuff. --<font color="#7575DB" face="OCR A" size="3">Kainzorus Prime <font color="#4C99A6">Walkie-talkie  05:20, November 26, 2013 (UTC)

 * Render-wise? I don't think so :P I do have some concept art left of characters, as well as ships (like the Benjamin, the Ranger, etc.), but I'm all out of renders I'm afraid. 17:29, November 26, 2013 (UTC)

Replied
Do you need PSN for the DLC?MB543 (talk) 16:28, November 30, 2013 (UTC)MB543

Yes, apparently. I wasn't paying too much attention while downloading it :P 16:33, November 30, 2013 (UTC)

Edit
Hey, Neutraliser was wrong... He said "was likely" and it WAS never stated in the database. The database entry on Blackbeard I think said "in Bristol", not "likely in Bristol". I would gladly pull back if you proven me wrong...

Cheers,

10:07, December 2, 2013 (UTC)


 * I quote, from the database: "Known variously by different sources as Thatch, Teach, Theach, Tache, Tiche, Teatch, Tack, and more, we are fairly certain this Edward was born in or around Bristol and took to the seas...". In our article, "Edward Thatch was most likely born in Bristol" is simply a paraphrase, hence, it's correct.


 * Also, even if the database had said "we are certain", instead of "we are fairly certain", then your undoing an edit would still be wrong. You would've needed to delete the 'most likely', not the 'was' that Neutralizer added. Again, you should read more closely in the future, before undoing other people's edits :/ 10:14, December 2, 2013 (UTC)

Mary Read trivia
I wanted to ask why you think the items that were removed from the Mary Read page aren't trivia-worthy. The first one actually answers a question that people have come to the wiki to ask, and I feel like the second exists in lieu of a longer Legacy section. Is there anything in particular about them that makes them unacceptable as trivia? Molotov.cockroach (talk) 01:41, December 10, 2013 (UTC)


 * No, I don't know if there actual "rules" as to what information can be called "trivia". Anyways, I felt the first piece I removed belonged in the main biography; the second piece I could see being reinstated if it goes more into the meaning, because just "Mary Read appeared in lots of Edward's visions" feels a little dry and meaningless; the third piece was already mentioned in her infobox, so that was obsolete. Anyways, feel free to check up with others if you really feel these bits need to be in the Trivia section.

 * No worries, I'll upload it myself. I can't really link it to you since I got it from that same person that sent me the renders via e-mail :) 17:11, January 17, 2014 (UTC)

 * Haha, I'm afraid that's it. I actually only had that image lying around, the others I uploaded pretty much as soon as I got them. Unless you want concept art of some of the ships? I've the Queen Anne's Revenge, the Benjamin, the Ranger and two more I think. I'd have to go find the e-mail again though, I didn't bother to save those anywhere. 17:23, January 17, 2014 (UTC)

Liberation Images
Hello...I have done all the liberation photos...Even Roussillon :D


 * Awesome, the new picture for Vazquez is much better than the old one; Baptiste looks great as well :) As for Roussillon... well, he'd be perfect if not for his hair. It's supposed to be the same shade as his beard, so I'm not sure why it's much darker. If you could fix that up, you'll be rid of my whining about all the Liberation images :P Truly, thank you for all the work you've done so far.


 * By the way, I noticed the render of Caroline Scott-Kenway you uploaded. Again, not really sure why the colours are different, but Caroline's hair leans more towards orange-red, rather than outright scarlet. If possible, I suggest you look for a different model for Caroline, cause that's the one used only for one cutscene (in which she's in bed with Edward). She probably has a model for her regular clothes as well, so if you could find it, that'd be great. 14:16, January 27, 2014 (UTC)

Alphonse de Marigot
Alphonse de Marigot was a merchant, because he worked aboard a merchant ship, and eventually took over his masters business.--188.180.174.234 19:07, February 16, 2014 (UTC)


 * Hi, thanks for reading my message,


 * Well, just because he worked on a merchant ship doesn't mean he was a merchant himself, he could've been a deckhand for all we know. However, after thinking on it for a bit, I suppose he can have the category "Merchant". I didn't consider the "patron" to be the same person that owned the brigantine, but seeing as his biography doesn't really indicate another person, I suppose it must have been. I'll add the category back.


 * By the way, it would be cool if you made yourself an actual account :) Unfortunately, anonymous contributors are more likely to vandalize the wiki rather than contribute it, which is why the senior edits are automatically just a tad more suspicious of edits by anons. It would probably make it easier for you to choose a username under which you edit. Anyways, you don't have to, it's just a suggestion. 19:56, February 16, 2014 (UTC)


 * You could say he was a merchant because he inherited the business of his former employer after the man's death. He'd then have to operate those sugar plantations and sell the produce. Slate Vesper (talk) 21:10, February 16, 2014 (UTC)


 * Yeah, I figured that as well; probably should've written it down :P 21:16, February 16, 2014 (UTC)

 * But yeah, Élise, Aveline and Gérald are my main focus. 06:42, February 27, 2014 (UTC)
