User talk:Master Sima Yi/Archive 1

Hi, welcome to Assassin's Creed Wiki! Thanks for your edit to the Ezio Auditore de Firenze page.

Please leave a message on my talk page if I can help with anything! -- Richard1990 (Talk) 21:28, 21 June 2009

Hey. We are going through a category restructurization here, please stop adding articles to the "plot" category. Thanks. -- D. Cello 20:36, December 24, 2009 (UTC)

Hey. Why the "delete" tag on secondary characters pages? At least give us a reason why should be considered for deletion. -- D. Cello 14:01, December 29, 2009 (UTC)

Sima, I had to add your award medal for improving Mailk's page, and it needed a userbox case, so I added it to your userpage. Maybe it was a little out of my way, since we rather have people (and only people) edit their own userpages, but hope you don't mind. -- D. Cello 17:07, February 13, 2010 (UTC)

Hey Sima. You're alive? oO -- D. Cello 02:21, May 1, 2010 (UTC)

Let's face it, we all love over-the-top, unninterrupt, sensenseless chaotic fun =P -- D. Cello 15:51, May 19, 2010 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I'm alive. I'm not as active, I know, but that's because I have just bought Grand Theft Auto: Episodes from Liberty City and my interest is currently more with Grand Theft Auto. Though I'm not away for good, if that is what you're thinking. :P -- Master Sima Yi 07:55, May 1, 2010 (UTC)
 * (Very late response) Ah, nice. I've never managed to really play GTA, I usually just mess around when I have enough patience. Actually, I don't even own the game. Episodes is good? -- D. Cello 04:03, May 19, 2010 (UTC)
 * Yeah, well for me it is. Episodes from Liberty City has both pieces of DLC for GTA IV on one single disc. I don't know if you're familiar with GTA: San Andreas, but one of the DLCs, The Ballad of Gay Tony, is about as over the top as GTA: SA was. -- Master Sima Yi 05:25, May 19, 2010 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I played San Andreas. Never got past San Franscisco and a bloody toy airplane mission. The game just doesn't have juice for me. But 4 was a little more.. fun. With the crashing cars and the guy flying through the windshield thing XD
 * Yep, we all do XD. Except when you get tired of being killed all the time... -- Master Sima Yi 16:58, May 19, 2010 (UTC)

AC Bloodlines articles
hi there~! Seeing your contributions, I think you might be able to help adding the links to this template Template:ACB. What say you? :D - Silver  Summoner TaLk 17:30, December 28, 2009 (UTC)

Hi again~! well.. when you create articles related to AC2, could you please add the links to that article in the Template:ACII? I kinda lost track here XD - Silver  Summoner TaLk 12:17, December 31, 2009 (UTC)

Please can I become a member of the Istruttori because my main quality is excellent historical knowlege which is why I would be a helpful member.Andrew nicholson 17:46, January 11, 2010 (UTC)

OkAndrew nicholson 17:49, January 11, 2010 (UTC)


 * Hey, Sima. Remember to check the Featured and Good vote pages regularly. ;] -- D. Cello 18:11, January 11, 2010 (UTC)


 * Ok, man. :) - Master Sima Yi 06:28, January 12, 2010 (UTC)

Guys, User:Reqυiem is now a Istruttore. The guy done a great job, completely redone AC2 page in a few days. Assassin's Creed II is now a Featured Article. There are lots of articles who need improvement to featured, mainly Lucy, Desmond, Ezio and Vidic, the series protagonists. So go, Istruttoi, let's get to work. -- D. Cello 20:52, January 19, 2010 (UTC)


 * Assassin's Creed Wiki:Good Article Nominations, vote needed, remember to check periodically. -- D. Cello 15:08, February 3, 2010 (UTC)

Guys, I'll say once again: we need revamp on Giovanni and Lucy page (for starters). You're the upholders of awesomeness in this wiki, let's work on those articles ASAP! -- D. Cello 15:38, February 10, 2010 (UTC)

People, vote. We have nominations going for mre than a week and less than 3 votes in there. As istruttori, as moderators of this wiki, your votes are REQUIRED. So please, access the bloody page, damn it! -- D. Cello 02:26, February 12, 2010 (UTC)

Sima, would you mind creating a page for the secret templar locations? You can find the redlink at the news section in the main page. btw, try to acess the IRC once in a while, the more people we have, the more will attract. ;D -- D. Cello 20:53, February 19, 2010 (UTC)

Okay Istruttori, you probably realized that I'm putting some real time on making userboxes (it's almost a new useless sunday hobbie), and now you have one too! Just add to your userbox gallery. And remeber to check the vote page regularly. -- D. Cello 23:34, February 19, 2010 (UTC)

Changes
Okay, people. I've completely revamped the Assassin's Creed Wiki:Istruttori pages, and I want *all* of you to get familiar with it. This group is becoming this wiki moderators, and are the first line to adminship when the time comes to expand. As such, I need all of you aware of your duties, and to fully perform then as possible. I'm also giving this group self-dependancy and authority over itself, what means that me and Silver are going to interfere in it close to zero when you start walking with your own legs. So: As everyone knows, this wiki is an online thing. Each one has it's own life, worries, problems, joys and personal and professional duties. We're here by choice, for entertainament, and love to the game. We; me, you and everyone else; don't do anything here cause they have to, but 'cause they want to, and they choose to. This community has grown a lot since I took it from ashes and started molding it from scratch, and you guys helped me do it. And even before creating a Staff to administrate the site, even after it was on the way, I could have taken things in my hands like some other wikis do and take decisions myself, but this is a wiki, a community, a group, a brotherhood. We all own it, and we all care for it. There are big changes on horizon, and I need everyone ready. Let's get to it. ;D -- D. Cello 05:17, February 22, 2010 (UTC)
 * From now on, I'm not recruiting members to the Istruttorium. Users will come to one of you and ask to join the group. If you decide they're worthy, you'll make a nomination and the rest of the group will say yay or nay.
 * Any changes in the group will be discussed within yourselves, and I strongly recommend you do so. You must get to know each other and work like a group, something that's lacking and will greatly improve the wiki's quality.
 * Also, focus on improving articles one at a time and keep an eye on already improved ones. We have important articles in not so great quality, and great articles that suffer major revamps that send them to the bottom of worthless article pit in one swing.
 * Also, I plan on a staff meeting via the IRC channel someday soon, we need to arrange timetables since you guys are all around the globe.

Fredrick
Where did that come from? I thought his name was Frederick the Red? Did he appear in AC II? -- Silver  Mage   Ω  13:25, January 20, 2010 (UTC)

My Bad Categorizing
I forgot that we had to put surnames first... -_- How stupid of me. -- Silver  Mage   Ω  14:18, February 1, 2010 (UTC)

Main page revamp
Hi there~ could you please take a look at my sandbox and then if possible, give your comment here? thanks~ :D - Silver  Summoner TaLk 12:19, February 6, 2010 (UTC)

Past or Present tense?
Hey, I was talking to D.Cello and the subject was to find the proper use of tense for this wikia. He said something about saying I had green light to do this and that there is no deadline. Cause there were questions around if articles of characters or plots that happened in the past, should be written in the past tense, however characters such as Desmond should be written in present tense. Personally I think we should stick to past tense, despite that these characters might be from the future, which D.Cello defined as the present. However we are telling the story of something that did already happen in the games, as in articles of Desmond and other related articles concerning the future. That is why it's my opinion to not make a difference in writing between past or present tense in these articles. So yeah the purpose is to write a proper policy on this and he advised me to talk to you about this as you, I believe, also helped with the source policy, correct? -- Altaïr March 11, 2010 (UTC)

Hello Master Sima Yi, I saw that you made an edit to the page Crossbow, you said that there was one on Ezio's back, but how do you know it's Ezio yet, we don't have that information. I do believe it's Ezio but I don't think we should jump to that conclusion, though do give me your opinion. :)

A vote
Master Sima Yi, do you think the Malik A-Sayf page should be promoted? --PassiveNeoluna 04:51, May 24, 2010 (UTC)

Well since there are 5 Istruttori votes, and no outstanding objection yet, could I promote it or do I wait for a week? PassiveNeoluna 16:53, May 24, 2010 (UTC)


 * I have no idea. I'm not a mod. Ask D. Cello. -- Master Sima Yi 19:30, May 24, 2010 (UTC)

Admin
Hey Sima.

I'll add a new sysop to the ranks, and taken you've been coming back to activity later, I was considering you. Keep in mind that we expect constant watchover here, what means you won't be able to simply disappear for a month like normal users do. But you can wear a nice badge and kick vandals asses.

I need a new first officer, are you up for it? -- D. Cello 02:59, June 2, 2010 (UTC)


 * I'm surely up for it, yeah. I'm not gonna disappear for a month, unless there is a real good reason for it. And I check this site a few times every day. So yeah, I'll accept your offer. -- Master Sima Yi 14:21, June 2, 2010 (UTC)

Great. Silver was kind of my right-arm man (girl, actually =P), but she's been innactive since march and a captain can't run his ship without a "XO". XD Very well, then I name you a sysop, effective immediatelly. Welcome to the team, Sima ;D -- D. Cello 16:28, June 2, 2010 (UTC)
 * Ah, the links. Almost forgot:


 * Your Duties
 * Read this and contact me when you have any ideas


 * Alright, I'll check it out. -- Master Sima Yi 12:40, June 3, 2010 (UTC)

Just here to say my congratulations on the promotion. PassiveNeoluna 19:01, June 2, 2010 (UTC)


 * Thank you :D. And thanks for uploading those pictures of Desmond with his hood up (the ones on your user page). Do you mind if I put them on Desmond's article? -- Master Sima Yi 12:40, June 3, 2010 (UTC)

Congratulations on the promotion to Admin! :D

Auditor(e) 21:03, June 3, 2010 (UTC)


 * Yo, Sima. In the very likelyhood I didn't mention it to you, we have two sexy badges at our disposal: for top-page use and  for userboxes. ;D -- D. Cello 06:09, June 4, 2010 (UTC)


 * I already found out, but thanks :P. Though do you know how to get the character template (like the one on your userpage) on the center of the page? I want to do that for my userpage. -- Master Sima Yi 09:09, June 4, 2010 (UTC)
 * It isn't a character template, it's jsut the code Silver made for me =P

Copy the one from my userpage, remove my information (sure), and change the style=float:right to style=float:center. Like this: {| class="infobox" style="float:center; width:264px; font-size:90%; text-align:left; -moz-border-radius:7px; background:transparent; padding:6px;" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="3" -- D. Cello 02:27, June 5, 2010 (UTC)


 * Yeah, I already tried it, but it doesn't work. But thank you :). -- Master Sima Yi 09:17, June 5, 2010 (UTC)
 * Change to "style=float:center" and "text-align:center", and it will work. -- D. Cello 17:03, June 5, 2010 (UTC)


 * I did that. -- Master Sima Yi 18:16, June 5, 2010 (UTC)
 * If you don't mind, I did it. Btw, nice to see you learned to block people =P I kinda forgot to fill you in in that aspect of sysop duty...sorry. XD -- D. Cello 03:57, June 6, 2010 (UTC)


 * I don't mind at all. =P And you know, this isn't the first site I'm an admin on. I'm also an admin on the Saints Row Wiki and the Red Faction Wiki (the last of which I am hardly online on). -- Master Sima Yi 12:33, June 6, 2010 (UTC)

The userbox still doesn't show up in the middle of the page. That's what I meant. -- Master Sima Yi 12:34, June 6, 2010 (UTC)

For me, the whole box is showing in the middle oO And I didn't knew about your other admin duties =P Btw, we aren't use era icons for anythign other than games, times and factions, so no characters, weapons and etc. And why you removed most Templar names? -- D. Cello 19:52, June 6, 2010 (UTC)


 * I removed them because either they were born before the Third Crusade, so there is no possible way they can be Templars as they were formed during the Crusade, or they were just said to be 'tyrants' killed by Assassins. Among those 'tyrants' in Glyph #15 was Tomas de Torquemada, who was not a Templar, so the other 'tyrants' don't necessarily need to be Templars. -- Master Sima Yi 05:23, June 7, 2010 (UTC)
 * Didn't 16 said that Cain was the first Templar? I think the Order was created in the Middle Ages, but that could be history told by Templars POV. The Truth file says that when Cain killed Abel, he founded the Templar order. -- D. Cello 06:50, June 7, 2010 (UTC)
 * Mario Auditore says that the Templars were formed during the Third Crusade and I believe some other Assassins also mentioned it. I don't remember the Truth file saying that Cain formed the Templar order. Can you show it to me? EDIT: and even if the Templar Order was created by Cain, it isn't stated anywhere that those 'tyrants' are Templars. Tomas Torquemada was among them, and he isn't a Templar. The others don't need to be Templars either. -- Master Sima Yi 09:54, June 7, 2010 (UTC)
 * If nowhere says they're Templars, then it's cool. About Cain, I remember 16 saying something about how when he killed his brother for the PoE he created the Templar Order, and their cross symbol is even called the Mark of Cain. But that's it, I never payed much attention to 16's files. -- D. Cello 18:18, June 7, 2010 (UTC)
 * Nope, just watched the glyphs with Cain in it and it just says that the mark of Cain was the same symbol as the Templars'. -- Master Sima Yi 19:21, June 7, 2010 (UTC)
 * Okay then. Not a templar he is. -- D. Cello 19:24, June 7, 2010 (UTC)
 * Maybe we should make a new catagory for implied/pseudo Templars? I'd have to agree with Master that some of these pre-crusade people that we've been labeling "Templars" aren't really Templars, since other than being killed by Assassins and/or having possession of a Piece of Eden theres no proof of them belonging to the Templars IAMELIPHAS 17:02, June 8, 2010 (UTC)

Milestone
D I just noticed we passed the 500 page milestone YAY! :)

Auditor(e) 21:05, June 3, 2010 (UTC)


 * Yeah! :P -- Master Sima Yi 05:13, June 4, 2010 (UTC)

Unsourced additions to the Assassins article
Hi there. I've noticed that you added a few assassination victims to the Assassins article, as well as creating stub pages for these victims as well. I'm trusting you're aware that each of those new articles, as well as the additions to the Assassins article have to be sourced? If not, they'll have to be removed. As, AFAIK, I don't have the source you've been using I'm asking if you could do so for me, thank you. Jasca Ducato Council Chamber Assassination record 20:07, June 7, 2010 (UTC)


 * Assassin's Creed II, Glyph #15, "The death of all tyrants will set the people free" with the Assassins' symbol crossing all of those tyrants. I'd never add anything I'd just made up, how dare you acuse such a thing of me =P. -- Master Sima Yi 05:12, June 8, 2010 (UTC)

Question about some images
Good day/afternoon/evening kind sir. I would just like to know, were you the one who added the screenshots of Maria during AC:Bloodlines? Did you take the screenshots yourself? If yes, how did you do it? I have been searching Google for hours, yet no luck. I have asked another editor this same question, and directed me to you. Thanks in advance War Clown 16:03, June 11, 2010 (UTC)


 * Nope, that wasn't me. It was Itslamb. You can ask him. :) -- Master Sima Yi 17:38, June 11, 2010 (UTC)
 * Alright, Thanks! :D War Clown 12:16, June 12, 2010 (UTC)
