Establishing a Media Policy/Guidelines for Assassin's Creed Wiki
Hi Master Sima Yi,

My name is Luis and I am a Community Support Manager (ES) and Video Community Lead at Wikia. I had a few questions regarding the Assassin's Creed Wiki and was told you were the person to speak to.

As you know Wikia is currently working with communities to create Video Policies/Guidelines to their specific Wikias. As you may already know Wikia currently has been establishing an expansive library of fully licensed Wikia videos covering various forms of entertainment.

Video Swap (LVS) is our newest tool which allows admins to quickly swap videos from outside providers to the same (or very similar) video that exists in our library at Wikia Video. All our videos are fully licensed with no expiration date.

We are always looking to improve on what we can provide to our users and if it was ok with you, we would like to know what we can do to better your experience.

Lastly we want to encourage communities to create a Video Policy/Guidelines that cater to the needs of your Wikia community regarding the uploading of any media for users to reference when visiting your site if you haven't done so already. If so, do you think you could link me to it? I would greatly appreciate it! We will we doing a feature on Wikias with Video Policy/Guidelines in the near future in order for those Wikias that need references to get some help in establishing their own.

Here are a few examples:

Tardis

Skyrim

Thanks again for your time!

Hello Luis,

I apologize for the late reply, real life has been holding me up these past few months. Though I have not yet gathered our editors' opinions on this yet, I think that our main complaint with Wikia's video system would be the advertisements and commercials that are forced on viewers, which cannot be blocked with a third party program. While I do understand that those advertisements are a source of income, I think they also form quite a frustration for viewers, myself included.

Of course, I do not want to leave it at that reply, and would like to hear back from you, if you have anything to add!

Hello, I was wondering if Monima Das or Jot Soora should be added to the Animus Subjects category because to my best knowledge they both used the Animus and there memories were extracted....right? (I haven't read itn yet so i'm not that sure). Raghava  Shah  19:06, March 8, 2014 (UTC)

The category is not called "Animus users". "Animus Subjects", as the category description explicitly states, refers to subjects of the Animus Project - Subjects 1 to 17. -- 19:08, March 8, 2014 (UTC)

Question
Hello. I would just like to ask you a question on what is the coding used for implementing the "Abstergo" logo within the categories box at the bottom of an article? It would be very appreciated if you could give me an answer. Thanks! NinjaFatGuy (talk) 22:35, March 13, 2014 (UTC)

I have the feeling I'm giving this answer a bit too much, but you should ask User:Vatsa1708 about this. If I knew how it was implemented, I'd tell you, but I had nothing to do with it. -- 23:01, March 13, 2014 (UTC)

when do you think they will come out with a new Assassin creed game. what would the setting be. and do you think the main protagonist will be a female Assassin -- 14:53, March 14, 2014 (UTC)

I'm sure they will announce it soon. Assassin's Creed is an annual release title, so the next installment will come out in October or November 2014. -- 13:32, March 15, 2014 (UTC)

Hi! Thanks for telling me about sourcing images! I had no idea I had to do that!

Plus, speaking of the Guanche Assassins page, have you seen the film? Assassin's Creed: Aborigines? It's awesome!

Nay Mate Woody (talk) 08:47, March 15, 2014 (UTC)

No, I've never heard of it before. Is it available to watch on YouTube? -- 13:32, March 15, 2014 (UTC)

Yes, it is available to watch. Click right here:

do you think that since ps4 is not backswords compatible that new games for Sony PlayStation will still come out with ps3/ps4 or do you think Sony will stop ps3 games after ps4 is out for so long. -- 15:35, March 15, 2014 (UTC)

Hello Master Sima Yi,

My name is Jenny and I work for Guinness World Records in London, England.

I am currently undertaking some research into potential record titles for the various Assassin's Creed games.

I would be very interested to discus this with you if possible?

Many thanks,

217.64.225.225 14:29, April 10, 2014 (UTC)

Hello Jenny. I'm more than willing to help out, but I'm going to need a little more information on this. It wouldn't be the first time someone pulls a prank like this on Wikia, so if you could shed some more light on what you have in mind, that would be appreciated! -- 20:53, April 13, 2014 (UTC)

Hello, I would like to know if you can delete this page : http://assassinscreed.wikia.com/wiki/User_blog:Alexander_C._Miles/The_Assassin%27s_Creed_movie_finally_found_a_director! I uploaded it twice by accident. Thank you in advance. Alexander C. Miles (talk) 00:29, May 1, 2014 (UTC)

Jackdaw(bird)
Master Sima Yi,I am asking for permission to make a page Jackdaw(bird). I don't know if it is necessary so I would like you to answer me.Joker (talk) 11:42, May 11, 2014 (UTC)Joker0002710

To save time on Sima's part – No, the page won't be necessary. The bird itself only features as a reference to other articles, so it only suits as a trivia point at best on those particular articles, which it has been accommodated for. Slate Vesper (talk) 12:09, May 11, 2014 (UTC)

Would you be interested in joining a gaming contest(free) for Assassin's Creed Black Flag? The story is below, and the join link is https://www.facebook.com/pages/Assassins-creed-IV-black-flag-nonprofit-tournaments/515111188601182 If you like it, please promote the contest, I need more players to truly create an enjoyable plot.

The first contest, is to collect steel cubes. This is done by using the share button or screenshot to record your kills, each of which is worth 20 ounces of steel, which is then divided by 27 to find the amount of cubes you can fill. At the end of the year, the winners (1st through 6th place) will be determined, and rewarded with a digital trophy in memory of their accomplishment. Like this post to enter. After 20+ entrants, OR 100+ cubes collected and posted with evidence below, the adventure will be revealed. May the best pirate win!

(First 1/4 of prompt) Amid a roiling torrent of oceanic mist, the Titan surged forth, its armored contours glinting with the refracted light of the golden Sun. Sailing forth, a ebony flag streaming from its cyclopean mast whose oaken contours extended to the heavens akin to a morose soul seeking companionship with the entities of the azure dome whose curvaceous length arched overhead. The pirate hunter pivoted, its bow angling to level with Havana. The hunt begins. (Part II) Tremulous with undulating waves of anxiety, Kerointh extended his forth the vessel of bronze flesh which ill contained opal bone, and caressed the manuscript before him. Such a device would grant him his youth anew! Yet this intricate contrivance additionally required a nearly unfathomable amount of steel. Unfortunate, yet not indomitable, he could easily "reason" such quantities from pirates, proper exploitation of weakness, and a man could attain anything he wished! Without doubt, he would be young anew, and the earth would burn beneath him. (Part III) Sinuous cords of tendons' serpentine contours ascended from Edward's powerful hand as he grasped a shard of jaundiced paper whose edge bore feeble tendrils which undulated amid thew wind's matronly embrace. "Eternal youth?" he mused, perhaps he would seize such power, for life without age would bear with it a veritable font of gold since many would lust for such ageless life. Yet this Templar who sought it, would likely be dispatched to garner the remaining shard of the manuscript, yet this would be facile. The impetuous man had issued a command to extort steel from pirates, perhaps he could use this...

Watch Dogs Wiki Affiliation
Hello, Master Sima Yi. I'm an administrator over at the Watch Dogs Wiki, and I'd like to know if you and the other active administrators are interested in affiliating with our community. Considering the close relations between the games, I, for one, believe that it is very much appropriate and could be beneficial. Thank you, NinjaFatGuy (talk) 02:18, May 26, 2014 (UTC).

Unsourced images
Does this wiki hate me or something??!! I've put the sources on the images on the Assassins Creed Aborigines and the Guanche Assassins pages over and over but it does not accept it. I eventually just gave up, and deleted the images. Just don't get it!

--Nay Mate Woody (talk) 20:40, May 28, 2014 (UTC)

HELLO I HAVE BEEN WRITING SEVERAL TIMES. I NEED YOU TO REMOVE A PHOTO ON NEXT TO MY NAME CARLOTTA MONTANARI. I REALLY NEED YOU TO STOP PUTTING PHOTOS ON THAT PAGE. THANKS.

E3 2014 Banner on Gamepage
Hey there Master Sima Yi

My name is Doug and I'm a member of Wikia's Community Development Team! E3 2014 is next week and we'll be providing a wide variety of exciting coverage of the event! We are also looking to help promote a lot of the great work that the Assassin's Creed community creates and showcases during that time.

I am stopping by to ask for permission to embed this E3 2014 Pencil Banner on the top (or bottom) of the Assassin's Creed: UNity game page on your wiki. This will link back to our E3 Portal on the Games Hub, where we will be posting a wide variety of newly released info and media. Any content added by your community can also be showcased on this page! We wish to get as many eyes on your community and the hub as possible during the event.

The banner will only need to be in place for next week, after which it can be removed. if I have your permission to proceed and embed, please let me know! Thanks so much and have a great one. TheBlueRogue •(profile)•(talk)•(doug@wikia-inc.com) 19:01, June 4, 2014 (UTC)

Unity Nominated for Best in Show at E3
Hey there Master Sima Yi

It's Doug from Wikia's Community Development Team. I'm stopping by to let you know that Assassin's Creed: Unity has been selected as one of the best games shown at E3 2014! We're hosting a big poll over at our E3 Portal and are calling for the community to vote for their favorite E3 game! The game with the most votes wins the title of Best in Show 2014.

I have added a nomination banner on the top right-rail of the mainpage that links to the poll. Feel free to remove the banner if you would not like it there. I will also be posting a blog announcing the nomination to get community attention soon. Thanks so much! TheBlueRogue •(profile)•(talk)•(doug@wikia-inc.com) 04:41, June 11, 2014 (UTC)

Thank you. I've been out of the country from the 12th till the 20th, so I couldn't watch it. Not really much of a sports fan though (aside from Formula 1). ;) -- 08:32, June 21, 2014 (UTC)

Stealth Game Guided Tour
Hey Master Sima Yi, I'm Doug from Wikia's Community Development Team! I apologize for blowing up your message wall so much lately, but I'm curious to see if you'd be interested in participating in a Wikia Guided Tour about Stealth video games! Guided Tours are large written posts that describe and inform users about a certain genre/theme. We choose 3 or so admins of various communities to provide their opinion about the genre as a whole, what makes it great, and why they are fans. These admins then choose a small handful of 'must-play' games of the genre so new players can check out the best of the best.

If you're curious about what the Guided Tour looks like, check out some previous ones Zombies, Horror Games, and Space Opera.

If you'd be interested in being featured in this, please let me know! We are planning for the Tour to go live at the end of the month. Don't hesitate to ask any questions if you have them! Thanks : > TheBlueRogue •(profile)•(talk)•(doug@wikia-inc.com) 18:45, June 17, 2014 (UTC)

Hello Doug! I'm sorry for not getting back to your other messages; it's been a crazy month for me. And I'm afraid it's still going to be until the 30th; would it be possible to get back to you on this then, or that you send me a short reminder in case I forget? -- 08:29, June 21, 2014 (UTC)

Restyling for Unity
Isn't it about time we restyle the wiki to fit Unity? Say a new wiki-background and wiki-wordmark? (Credit goes to the German AC Wiki, where I found these at.) 07:07, June 19, 2014 (UTC)

Yes, we already have them ready. I'll see if I can do that in a bit. -- 08:29, June 21, 2014 (UTC)

Double page names?
How on Earth do you have two Master Assassin pages, with the exact same name and link?

Could you be a bit more helpful? -- 08:31, June 21, 2014 (UTC)

Assassination targets revamp
Hello,

I know you're pretty busy, but if you have a chance, I was hoping you could look at something. I recently merged the Assassination targets/known victims page and subheading in my sandbox, and requested input here. Do you think this is an acceptable replacement that can be posted officially? -Molotov.cockroach (talk) 19:00, June 21, 2014 (UTC)

Well, I'll be honest with you, it's not what I had in mind to do with the page. I wanted to remove the separation by protagonists, and just make lists for each century. The only real issue I currenly have though is that a lot of the tabs don't list any more than one assassination, which gives me the impression that they're just there for the sake of being there rather than being a necessity. -- 22:24, June 21, 2014 (UTC)


 * Hmmm, all right. I will say the reason that some tabs have just one assassination is because I felt breaking it up by year was very useful and clean, and some years that particular Assassin only accomplished one assassination. However, I can definitely try to combine them.


 * Also, in terms of removing the breakdown by protagonist, was the thought to organize them all together according to century and then note the specific year and Assassin?


 * EDIT: I went back and combined the years a bit to make longer lists. Does that work, do you think?
 * -Molotov.cockroach (talk) 03:03, June 22, 2014 (UTC)

Yes, by specific year and Assassin was indeed my intention. I'm not too fond of placing the protagonists as 'superior' over the other characters. But it looks a lot better now. Only complaint I have now is that the Templars are still missing quite a few targets, like Gandhi and Houdini. -- 08:58, June 22, 2014 (UTC)


 * Thanks for pointing it out. I added those in and poked around for others, but I think we have them all now. Also, a thought: do you think it would be useful to just have all the assassinations together, as you suggested, and then do a subpage for kills broken down by protagonist? I only suggest it because I think some people will come looking for that information specifically.


 * For right now though, with these changes, do you think the page can go up as-is in the meantime? -Molotov.cockroach (talk) 06:00, June 24, 2014 (UTC)

Yes, I think it can go up. It's a large improvement over what we have now. I do not think we'll need both a list of all assassinations together and kills broken down by protagonist, as that would be a repetition of info. Perhaps if we tabs out of those two things, though, so they wouldn't both clutter the page at the same time. -- 07:14, June 24, 2014 (UTC)

Avatar
Alright, I am prolific here so any advice? Is there a guideline? While I'm at it how do I use an irc (kidding). Btw it's good to have you back sir. Sorry for that misunderstanding in the topic thread, I suppose given Unity began development in late 2010 Ubisoft did listen to fans like myself who wanted a game with Napoleon: it's just they've taken their time to show that since they've wisely saved the setting for PS4. --Alientraveller (talk) 23:09, June 21, 2014 (UTC)

Ubisoft did a lot of surveys around 2011 and 2012 regarding settings and what people want gameplay-wise. Co-op really stood out there, and the French Revolution is as popular as Feudal Japan. (Apparently Napoleon's story is saved for co-op, though.) And you want advice on how to use an avatar or what avatar to use? Because you don't have to use an avatar, if you don't want to. But in my case I often mistook people without an avatar for an anon, and I think that goes for others as well. -- 23:16, June 21, 2014 (UTC)

Affiliation request(s)
Hello. I'm admin for the Prince of Persia and I was wondering if you were at all interested in affiliating with said Wikia? We're currently attempting to revamp the Wikia to incorporate all relevant information for PoP and we're looking to connect with as many Ubisoft-related game wikis as possible. Would you be interested? If not, thank you for taking the time to hear me out.

Also, on the off chance that this is the improper place to ask, where exactly should I inquire to affiliate the next time? Lily Ford (talk) 02:58, June 26, 2014 (UTC)

I am alright with this affiliation request, especially since both franchises are made by Ubisoft. You should sent the same message to Vatsa1708 however, as he is my co-bureaucrat. -- 12:48, June 28, 2014 (UTC)

Page Creation
Hi, I was wondering if I should create a page for the Unidentified First Civilization Member featured in Brahman on this wiki because I don't if there is enough info about this character yet and I was guessing I should ask you before I get yelled at for creating an article stub for no reason. Thanks. Raghava  Shah  05:37, June 28, 2014 (UTC)

Not under that name, no. If we know her name (which is likely Durga), then we can create the page. -- 12:49, June 28, 2014 (UTC)
