Yes, I know. But I chose to edit in sections just in case the browser/computer decides to crash in the middle of, or worse, at the end of a bigger edit spree. ;) Sadelyrate (talk) 14:07, January 22, 2013 (UTC)

Thank you for helping me fix the Idun page. Really appreciate it.

Damn, you're going crazy with the edits today lolLost Fragment (talk) 12:21, February 15, 2013 (UTC)

Had time, had the inclination, cleaned up coding. More informative edits to follow, hopefully. :) Sadelyrate (talk) 06:50, February 16, 2013 (UTC)

Good jorb.
Good job on TLA images. One question, was that heavy film grain effect seen in some shots actually present during the memory? --Kainzorus Prime Walkie-talkie  19:24, April 5, 2013 (UTC)
 * Yes, there are parts in the memories that... are rather curious, including occasionally having that film grain-like effect; the only thing I've done to the screenshots is to crop out the black borders. I'm working on getting the rest up in a moment. Sadelyrate (talk) 19:35, April 5, 2013 (UTC)
 * We need Desmond's Journey ones too, apparently. You're game for it? --Kainzorus Prime Walkie-talkie  18:51, April 7, 2013 (UTC)
 * On them. :) Sadelyrate (talk) 18:58, April 7, 2013 (UTC)

Collectables/Collectibles
Hey, Sadelyrate

You're uh, not the first to have tried adding a "collectibles" category, but in previous instances, it's always been deleted by Sima, because "collectibles" is a kind of OOU term. I don't see this being any different, but perhaps talk to Sima as to why this category isn't accepted. In the mean time, it might be a good idea to stop adding articles to the collectibles category. Sorry for bothering ^^; Crookandcharlatan (talk) 09:31, August 25, 2013 (UTC)


 * My mistake, hopefully understandable. Oh well, I'll just go and undo it. :) Sadelyrate (siniath) 09:32, August 25, 2013 (UTC)

Paladin3510's image
Like I said in my response to your comment, I have put the correct sourcing in place at the image location. However, I have now also messaged Paladin3510 via deviantart to ask his permission anyway. I don't think it is 'legally required', but I didn't even think of that tbph.

Greetings,

Actually, it is "legally required." That's more or less what copyright's all about.

Related to this, there's you licensing the picture under CC. Unless the artist has licensed the artwork thus, you've committed a greater crime than simple theft; you've essentially claimed that you have the right to control the artwork's distribution.

The image is properly sourced, yes. However, sourcing <> permission. Since we live in the world that we do, there is no excuse to neglect asking an artist (alive, online) for permission to use their artwork. In any way, shape or form. For all anyone can know, the picture you've chosen to use (since it "seemed to fit") is a picture the artist made for their own personal use, of their own character. (Also posted here for, hopefully, closure's sake; methinks we should reserve conversation for one thread, though.) Sadelyrate (siniath) 07:09, August 30, 2013 (UTC)

Madeleine de L'Isle
Hey Sade,

I'm going to expand the Madeleine de L'Isle article pretty soon, but I noticed you'd left a message on her talkpage at some point:


 * "There's really nothing known about Madeleine's life before the part she played in Liberation? Her surname just makes me wonder..."

And it sorta made me wonder what you meant in regards to her surname. I'm actually quite interested to see if her name carries more meaning than you'd think (and, as to why the creators decided to name her as such). I've just googled her name and all I came up with is the "Îles de la Madeleine" or Magdalen Islands, which are part of the Canadian province of Quebec. I just wanted to know if that's what you were referring to as well, or if you had hit upon something else. As a sidenote, her database entry does confirm that she was born in New Orleans.

Thanks for reading :) 20:13, April 3, 2014 (UTC)


 * My wonderings were because I'd run into and the De L'Isle family. Nothing that had any relevance to any of the games, but just something that had piqued my curiosity. :) Sadelyrate (siniath) 17:47, April 4, 2014 (UTC)

Hi!
Heya, Sade. How's it going? You still around? -- 21:20, July 29, 2014 (UTC)


 * Around occasionally, yeah. Active... not even close. Came to take a look due to a sudden spell of nostalgia. ;) Sadelyrate (siniath) 11:06, November 6, 2014 (UTC)

It can be know why you are deleting the information?
If you do not give me a reason I will not stop. Egyth98 13:49, July 13, 2018 (UTC)Egyth90 (talk)
 * If this is about Khaliset, then it's because while she knew about Those Who Came Before (First Civilization, Isu), we cannot know the extent of her knowledge. Sadelyrate (siniath) 13:52, July 13, 2018 (UTC)

Egyptian mythology
Not sure if you think you're funny, or you're just being rude, but the message you posted as changelog in your edit on the page Egyptian mythology was quite unnecessary. I'm not amused. I've written that article all by myself, with no help whatsoever and English isn't my main language. My English isn't bad, it's just with such a big article that i'm so focussed on the content I oversee some language discrepanties. It's not easy to have the story in your head in your own language, and having translate it to English and making sure the syntax of the sentences is correct.

Calling the language "atrocious" is an atrocious act on its own. Kennyannydenny (talk) 11:30, August 13, 2018 (UTC)


 * Pray tell, what information in that article did I delete that was not against the Manual of Style of this Wiki? What I did was to make the article better fit the guidelines laid out in that, help where I could, at least a little.
 * As for calling the language atrocious... well, English isn't my main language either. It might not have been the best word to describe it, but at that moment, that day, I felt it best described it.
 * To be honest, I'm surprised this Wiki even has an article by that name, given that there aren't similar ones for Greco-Roman, Chinese or, say, Native American mythologies. Sadelyrate (siniath) 16:03, August 13, 2018 (UTC)
 * I wasn't talking about your changes, I'm fine with those, they really did improve the article. I was talking about the unfriendly words in the summary. Kennyannydenny (talk) 08:59, August 14, 2018 (UTC)


 * I think that Sadelyrate really was a bit blunt at the spur of the moment, a common error that many of us have made. However, at the same time, he wasn't entirely unjustified for being so alarmed by the state of the article, and I really appreciate him going over it and fixing it. I, myself, can get that anxious when I see an article loaded with syntax and grammar errors, so I understand the feeling. Of course, the edit summary could have been politer, and we should always remember to not sound too agitated because this can indeed come across as rude and unwelcoming to new users. As well, we should always try our best to be patient about the fact different users have varying levels of English. But I'm sure it wasn't Sadel's intention to insult anyone in particular because he was unlikely to be aware that there was a sole author and who that was; his harsh words were directed at the article alone. Sol Pacificus (Cyfiero) 01:29, August 14, 2018 (UTC)
 * Also, I interpreted it as not at all hostile, but just anxious. Your hard work on the article is stilll much appreciated Kenny. :) Sol Pacificus (Cyfiero) 01:31, August 14, 2018 (UTC)
 * Sure, me too. I also appreciate the fact that he improved the article. He can be as alarmed as he likes, some people do really hate grammer errors. Me too in fact, and if I would've spotted them, I would've fixed them. It's just, after you wrote a long text, and read over it dozens and dozens of times for content errors and gramatical erorrs, you tend to overlook things. And I put a lot of work in that article. As long as he's being polite, it's all fine by me. We're a wiki so people may change everything if they'd think it'd improve things. I just couldn't stand the summary, and for me, it did sound really unfriendly. But we'll keep it at this. I couldn't let it slide completely as I wouldn't have slept otherwise last night (I do take things people say to heart, even though I don't know you personally), but let's just forget it. I'm sorry Sadelyrate I reacted the way I did, I grew up with people bickering and being sarcastic around me, so I tend to take things personally. Kennyannydenny (talk) 08:59, August 14, 2018 (UTC)
 * For what it's worth, I do apologize for using that word. It was truly aimed at the text, not the writer (didn't realize it was the work of just one person), and badly chosen. For my part, will try to be more courteous in the future, even if anxious or something. Sadelyrate (siniath) 11:08, August 14, 2018 (UTC)

Ah Tabai
I saw your recent edits on his page. Is there any concrete evidence that his name is just an alias? I know in most cultures the names or deities don’t get used but my grandfather is named Jesus so there are some exceptions. Lacrossedeamon (talk) 06:37, September 16, 2018 (UTC)
 * That's from his Database entry: "Named for the Mayan god of hunting, Ah Tabai's given name remains a mystery-" Agreed, though, that that might not mean anything.Sadelyrate (siniath) 06:43, September 16, 2018 (UTC)
 * That seems a pretty good inference then, I didn’t know his database entry said that. I feel that his intro paragraph should address this but the ambiguity makes it hard. Lacrossedeamon (talk) 07:07, September 16, 2018 (UTC)

Titling of residency categories
Hey Sadel, just noticed your creation of the "Category:Residents of Memphis", and I just wanted to let you know that actually, it would be better for it to be named "Category:Memphites". (Wikipedia says that the demonyn of Memphis, Tennessee is Memphian but Wiktionary & other usual sources on Egypt says the demonym of Memphis, Egypt is Memphite... but I'm not entirely sure between the two...) When preferable, a demonym should always be used because it is simply more concise. This goes with "Category:Residents of Siwa" as well. It really should just be "Category:Siwans", but I have not found the time to correct this yet. When creating categories by a city or town, you should only title it with the word "residents" if there isn't a known demonym on hand you can use to summarize it in a single word. Villa Auditore would be such a case because demonyms aren't usually used for a single estate. I'm not so sure about Masyaf since I don't know if we can figure out the correct demonym for it. For that matter, the very old category of "Davenport Homestead residents" should also be renamed to "Davenport Homesteaders" when we have the time.

Anyway, I do really appreciate you for taking the time to create these categories! :) Sol Pacificus (Cyfiero) 07:11, September 17, 2018 (UTC)
 * Tbh, didn't even know a term like 'Memphite' or ('Memphian' for that matter) was plausible. :D If/When I have the time and inclination, I'll get around to fixing them. Thanks for pointing that out! Sadelyrate (siniath) 07:20, September 17, 2018 (UTC)

Twelve Olympians
Hi there. Can you advise your source for this article? --Jasca Ducato (talk | contributions) 11:16, September 18, 2018 (UTC)
 * Source as in in-game canon? Unfortunately, not yet. But given everything that's in, say, the Egyptian mythology-article, this seemed a plausible article to create, given the number of Olympians already mentioned/featured in the franchise. My apologies if I misstepped.Sadelyrate (siniath) 11:20, September 18, 2018 (UTC)
 * Whilst I personally disagree with the existence of an article on Egyptian mythology, I will say that it uses information from a verifiable and, more importantly, released, source. It's entirely possible, even likely, that the "Twelve Olympians" will be mentioned in Odyssey, but to create an article before the game has been released is speculative. --Jasca Ducato (talk | contributions) 14:28, September 18, 2018 (UTC)


 * Agreed on it being speculative. To be honest, what I've seen of that Egyptian mythology-article's evolution, a lot of it has been added later, and some of it is still iffy as far as the in-game canon goes. But let's remove the Twelve Olympians, at least for now; I should've thought about it a bit more. Apologies for that.Sadelyrate (siniath) 14:35, September 18, 2018 (UTC)

Hello

Nickname
Hi Sade. I've noticed that you've been replacing the Conjecture tabs on a lot of articles to Nickname today. Please note that is only for those articles where the title is a "nickname, title, or alias." Many of the articles you've been editing are actually under conjectural titles (i.e. titles we've given them, rather than in-universe nicknames), such as Sumerian Sage, Roman Assassin, Galeazzo Maria Sforza's bodyguard, Templar Admiral (1735) (and practially any other article title with a date in parenthesis) and so the moves are incorrect.

I'll be reverting those moves, but please make a note of this in future. --Jasca Ducato (talk | contributions) 08:32, October 15, 2018 (UTC)
 * Ah, my bad. Apologies for the mess.Sadelyrate (siniath) 08:33, October 15, 2018 (UTC)
 * No problem. As I said, only a few of your edits were incorrect - a lot of them were prefectly valid changes, and so i've left those ones. --Jasca Ducato (talk | contributions) 08:40, October 15, 2018 (UTC)
 * Btw, it is actually nice to know that the Wiki's watched, and errors are quickly fixed. :) Sadelyrate (siniath) 08:41, October 15, 2018 (UTC)

Question
Hey Sadelyrate, I have a question. What do you think we should do with support quests? Someone has linked all three support quests of The Athenian Leader to that page, so i've added the descriptions there. But it seems like other support quests like A Venomous Encounter and Escape from Athens (if i understand our quests template correctly) have their own page. I just created a page for The Goddesses' Hunt side quest and added all descriptions there. But we might want to decide to split these up. Not sure what to do as Raylan13 has linked those support quests to the main quest in the case of The Athenian Leader, but has made a separate page for A Venomous Encounter. I'm lost.... As you're very active and I know you always have good ideas I thought i'd ask you. Maybe it's also worth inviting an admin or whatever. Kennyannydenny (talk) 17:30, October 16, 2018 (UTC)
 * On one hand, treating the support quests merely as goals for a bigger quest would make sense. On the other... they're like sidequests, and I'd be almost tempted to treat them as such (so under their own title in the Memory-template). However, I'd advise you to turn to one of the admins. They're here for questions like these. Though I'm active (now), I'm just a grunt. :) Sadelyrate (siniath) 17:36, October 16, 2018 (UTC)
 * I was thinking the same thing. I've also poked Jasca Ducato as he's active at this moment and is staff, and also poked Sol Pacificus. I'm curious to see what they think is the right solution. Kennyannydenny (talk) 17:42, October 16, 2018 (UTC)
 * See also here! Ps. sorry for the spam. Kennyannydenny (talk) 18:42, October 16, 2018 (UTC)

Granadin category
Sadel, I fear you were too hasty with the Granadin article. For one thing, we had had a discussion a couple of years before regarding the proper demonym for Granada and had settled on Granadan as the one that appears the most in Google searches and also attested by, at the very least, Wiktionary. In fact, we had suspected that Granadin as it appears in might even have been a typo since it is less attested. In any case, there was much uncertainty about it, but either way, because it was controversial between users, I am uncomfortable with this abrupt name change of the category even though I know you were just doing your best to use the right demonym.

Also, I should point out that Granada is not a city, but it was a nationality of its own, and it also should not go under Spaniards because the Emirate of Granada was its own sovereign state that was conquered by the Kingdoms of Castile and Aragon, two other sovereign states, before they fully merged into the Kingdom of Spain. Sol Pacificus (Cyfiero) 22:43, October 18, 2018 (UTC)

Some clarification: the original category you were replacing referred to the nationality of the Emirate of Granada. I just realized that you were likely thinking of the city of Granada itself. I do not know how we might distinguish categories of both the city and the country. Sol Pacificus (Cyfiero) 22:45, October 18, 2018 (UTC)

Oh I'm sorry, I did not notice that the category Granadans had never been actually created despite the pages added to it, thereby explaining that prompt switchover. Sol Pacificus (Cyfiero) 23:10, October 18, 2018 (UTC)


 * I still think Granadin is correct, and it’s what was used by historian Will Durant. But mainly I agree that we need to come up with a way to distinguish between nationality and residentiality of city-states and basically revamp that whole set of category pages including ethnicities. Lacrossedeamon (talk) 03:59, October 19, 2018 (UTC)
 * Agreed. My apologies for this all. If the Granadans-category had been created, I'd've left it alone. As an aside...I really dislike it when two different things have identical names (Granada). Makes things all the more bloody confusing. Sadelyrate (siniath) 06:03, October 19, 2018 (UTC)
 * Lacrosse, did you mean that we should use Granadin as the demonym for the city and Granadan as the demonym for the former country? And I suppose both might be valid, in which case, it shouldn't matter too much which we use. However, we really should have categories for both, and... while it might not be technically correct to do this... I can't say I'd be averse if we did just use the different demonyms for both... Sol Pacificus (Cyfiero) 09:11, October 19, 2018 (UTC)
 * I had initially thought that a category for residents of the city of Granada was unnecessary because many characters from that city are also simultaneously nationals of Granada with a few exceptions of characters being from the country but not the city. However, with the addition a lot more Moors from Rebellion, there might be several more characters affiliated with the country but not the city now, going off of my memory. Sol Pacificus (Cyfiero) 09:17, October 19, 2018 (UTC)

Theban Categorisation
Hey Sade, I would like to see your thoughts and opinions regarding the Theban category. Please do take a look here if you have the time. Thank you :D XOdeyssusx (talk) 09:52, October 30, 2018 (UTC)

Heracles name in Greek
Hey saw you linked the Greek spelling to wikitionary. Noticed it added an apostrophe/glottal stop to the first letters. I think that’s a Wikipedia thing to distinguish it from similar looking Latin letters but not actually present in the original way of writing it. That’s just a guess though so do you know anything about it?Lacrossedeamon (talk) 09:36, November 3, 2018 (UTC)
 * That's not a matter of distinguishing. The original, uncontracted form is Ἡρακλέης. The apostrophe/glottal stop is there to signify a silent letter: something you don't really write or say, but whose presence has to be acknowledged. Sadelyrate (siniath) 10:01, November 3, 2018 (UTC)
 * I wasnt sure if Ancient Greek writing conventions included diacritics. Looked it up, it’s actually called a rough breathing (I had just assumed glottal stop and is kinda its opposite) denoting an added 'h' sound to the word. The one in front of the other name curving the other way, a smoothe breathing, is more like a glottal stop. They’ve been dropped from modern conventions which was what messed me up. Lacrossedeamon (talk) 10:20, November 3, 2018 (UTC)
 * Thanks for finding the words: my brain wasn't working, but that was what I was trying to say. That without it, it would be closer to... Irakles. Well, main thing is, it's figured out. :D Sadelyrate (siniath) 10:32, November 3, 2018 (UTC)

Ikaros trivia
That loading screen tip doesn't really confirm what was shown in the novel as it doesn't mention Ikaros's age. In game, Pythagoras calls Ikaros an old friend and its implied he sent him to Kass which would be pretty hard to due if Kass found Ikaros as a fledgeling. Lacrossedeamon (talk) 07:00, November 12, 2018 (UTC)


 * True, that. I'll go back and reword it. (Tbh, the whole Ikaros-article seems to be in need of some revision.) Sadelyrate (siniath) 07:05, November 12, 2018 (UTC)


 * Yeah that one is pretty much a stub. Another issue is we haven't decided what to do with major game-novel discrepancies. The novel was described as the canon telling but it changes a lot of stuff, some of it very important. Lacrossedeamon (talk) 07:18, November 12, 2018 (UTC)

RE:Forest Islands
The two situations are kind of different here, but first, let me explain that if the place exists in-game but the name isn't mentioned, then of course it merits an article, only that it needs a conjectural name. However, the name "Forest Islands" is actually provided in a Ubisoft-licensed source, the website, so it won't be conjectural either. It's properly sourced. The website is a valid source. Going back to the "Twelve Olympians" article, the gods who comprise the group known to us as the Twelve Olympians do exist in the series, but what hasn't been confirmed to exist in the series is the concept of this specific grouping which is what the article would be describing. Sol Pacificus (Cyfiero) 20:18, November 17, 2018 (UTC)

To give an example of this, let's hypothesize that there's a game about you, Odeyssus, and me, and that in real-life, we have formed a group called Sadelodeyiero lol, but this group isn't mentioned in the game. Just because we exist in the game, doesn't mean that our group exists in the game even though we have such a group in real-life. In the same way, just because the gods known to us as a group called the Twelve Olympians exist in the AC series, it doesn't necessarily mean that in the series, this specific group exists even if they do. Now, it is 99% likely that the "Twelve Olympian" grouping does exist in the AC universe, but both because it's not necessary to give it an article when it is never mentioned and because of strict sourcing policies, it doesn't need its own article. I would personally allow it be mentioned as one of those exceptions that allow us to take from external sources though, but it shouldn't have its own article. Sol Pacificus (Cyfiero) 20:26, November 17, 2018 (UTC)

Commas
Hey Sadel, I think you've probably noticed by now that I've corrected and commented on your placement of commas in your edits quite often recently. I don't mean to single you out because I've noticed these common punctuation mistakes made by many other users as well, but I just wanted to double-check how well you understand the rules regarding when or when not to apply commas. It seems to me that you probably often base comma placement on verbal rhythm (like where it sounds like one would give a half-second pause while reading or speaking the line). However, there are actual, definitive, grammatical rules regarding the usage of commas which I agree can be very confusing.

Overall, your work these past months on Odyssey has been excellent; it's just that there's this one minor error that keeps popping up that I have to sweep for. :P Sol Pacificus (Cyfiero) 01:33, November 29, 2018 (UTC)

So just let me know if you think you need me to explain it a little! Sol Pacificus (Cyfiero) 01:35, November 29, 2018 (UTC)
 * Noticed, and have tried to learn from the mistakes. Sadelyrate (siniath) 15:14, November 29, 2018 (UTC)
 * That's good, but would you need any further explanation as to the grammar rules about commas? It's just because I recognize that it's probably not very helpful of me to just point out when something is wrong without elaborating on the wider principles or terms like independent clause. :-/ If you think it's fine, then it's okay. Just thought I'd double-check. Sol Pacificus (Cyfiero) 05:10, November 30, 2018 (UTC)

Animal images
Hey Sadelyrate, I just wanted to say I find the images you made from, for example, the Bottlenose dolphins stunning. They're are really beautiful, amazing work adding those! I just love how better the articles are with some images supporting them, I just wish we had that for all animal pages, a lot from Black Flag are missing images. But making screens on my xbox wouldn't really result in nice images, and absolutely not even near as beautiful as you make them. But anyhow, just wanted to let you know the images you add are really great :) Kennyannydenny (talk) 20:19, December 21, 2018 (UTC)
 * Thank you! :) Sadelyrate (siniath) 20:36, December 21, 2018 (UTC)

Removing spoiler tags
Hey Sadel, I really appreciate how prompt you are in removing the spoiler tags that expire today, but we might actually be able to set a automated bot to the task. Of course, you can still continue to manually remove them if you want, but I'm just letting you know in case you tire yourself out unnecessarily and end up feeling overwhelmed by it :P. As always, thank you for your hard work! Sol Pacificus (Cyfiero) 15:37, January 5, 2019 (UTC)
 * Thought it would be something that could be automated, but figured I'll remove the ones I run across while fiddling around anyway. :) Sadelyrate (siniath) 15:39, January 5, 2019 (UTC)

Greek banners
Hi Sadelyrate I saw you uploaded the banners for many of the Greek locations. Great job, btw! I have ACOD's online guide on hand, and it has pngs of the banners you posted and a few you've missed (At least, I think? Could be wrong). Would it be OK if I replaced your banners with the ones from the book, as they don't have light/shadow or background, or do screenshots take precedence over all pics? -- Darman  ( talk ) 18:55, January 8, 2019 (UTC)
 * That sounds good to me, but you might hit up SolPacificus about whether screenshots take precedence or not. :) Sadelyrate (siniath) 18:58, January 8, 2019 (UTC)

Greek and Roman gods
Hi Sadelyrate

I'd like to tell you I'm a huge admirer of the work you've been doing with the articles on Greek and Roman mythology. I would like to call your attention about an issue I've been pondering: understandably, you linked to Zeus, Hera and Athena on the Twelve Gods page. The point is, we have only one article for Jupiter, Juno and Minerva - so Zeus, Hera and Athena are simply redirects (additionally, Venus redirects to Aphrodite). Conversely, we happen to have duplicate articles for the same deities: So I'd like to ask your insight into this. Perhaps we could merge the duplicates? Or, vice versa, we should have separate articles for Jupiter and Zeus, Juno and Hera, Athena and Minerva?
 * Poseidon and Neptune
 * Hades and Pluto
 * Ares and Mars
 * Artemis and Diana.

Thank you. --Piero.schiavone1994 (talk) 17:25, January 13, 2019 (UTC)
 * I actually suggested making separate articles for Zeus, Hera, Athena, and Venus but this was shot down, because canonically those have been confirmed to be merely interpretations of the Isu 'originals', and thus, a footnote in the Isu-articles was deemed to be sufficient. We lack same kind of confirmation in regard to Hades/Pluto, Poseidon/Neptune, etc. (Thanks for the compliment, btw. :) ) Sadelyrate (siniath) 17:29, January 13, 2019 (UTC)
 * If you want to read it all, head over to the Talk page of Egyptian mythology, "Separation of Isu and deities".Sadelyrate (siniath) 17:44, January 13, 2019 (UTC)

Elpidos edit
Hi Sadel. I ahven't yet completed LotFB:SH, so can you advise if Elpidos is explicitly referenced as a Tainted One, or are you making that assumption based on his parentage? --Jasca Ducato (talk | contributions) 11:48, January 16, 2019 (UTC)
 * That was an assumption, I'm afraid.Sadelyrate (siniath) 11:52, January 16, 2019 (UTC)

Alpha/Elite ships
Since you have Assassin's Creed: Odyssey do you think you could identify the name of the ship captained by Sokos, I've looked all over YouTube and there wasn't a single video in which the player used Ikarus the eagle to identify it. I would do it myself but I don't the game. Oh and while you're at it could you also identify the ships on which the sails Labyrinth's Bow, Summer Wine, and Triskelion can be found? I want to know the name of every ship sunk by the Adrestia before I add a "Noted conflicts" section on its article. Frontierchris (talk) 01:59, February 2, 2019 (UTC)
 * Working on it, though afraid I can't give you an ETD. Sadelyrate (siniath) 10:33, February 2, 2019 (UTC)

Any luck on identifying Sokos' ship? Frontierchris (talk) 20:31, February 2, 2019 (UTC)
 * Not quite there yet. As you can see, the others I've gotten. Sadelyrate (siniath) 22:20, February 2, 2019 (UTC)
 * When are you going to identify Sokos' ship, it has been two days now.  Oh and about the ships under the alphas, do they have names or are they just randoms like the mercenaries?  Frontierchris (talk) 13:51, February 4, 2019 (UTC)
 * I'll identify Sokos' ship when I get there. Like everyone here, I'm doing this voluntarily, and have been otherwise preoccupied lately. The ships with the Alphas are just random, far as I can tell.Sadelyrate (siniath) 13:55, February 4, 2019 (UTC)
 * I'm sorry if I seem impatient, it's just that I want the name of every ship sunk or destroyed by the Adrestia before I add a "Noted conflicts" section to the article.  Frontierchris (talk) 14:03, February 4, 2019 (UTC)

Just so you know the Flying Ikaros and Nestor's ship the Formidable still don't have their own articles. Oh and there's something I've been wondering about, didn't the cultist Melite have a ship because I remember seeing him on one when I was watching a walkthrough on YouTube. Oh and another thing, what do they call members of the Order of the Ancients? Frontierchris (talk) 16:47, February 5, 2019 (UTC)
 * Fixed. Not sure about Melite, given I haven't ran across him yet. Have to keep my eyes open. Thanks for bringing that up. :) A member of the Order of the Ancients is just a member of them. Not sure I've seen any other way to reference them. Sadelyrate (siniath) 17:54, February 5, 2019 (UTC)

Labours of Hercules
Hi Sadelyrate. I've noticed you have uploaded pictures of the reliefs of seven Labours of Herakles, which is quite cool. I would take several screenshots from Odyssey myself, but sadly I reside in a place different from where I keep my Xbox. Anyway, I was wondering whether in-game only 7 metopes exist, or if there are all 12 of them. Also, I would like to ask you if the metopes do come - as historically appropriate - from the Temple of Zeus in Olympia. Thank you.

Also, I'd like to recommend you this article on the subject. --Piero.schiavone1994 (talk) 11:59, February 3, 2019 (UTC)
 * I've only seen those seven so far, but keeping my eyes out for more. In-game, those reliefs can be found quite literally everywhere: they're in Sanctuary of Delphi, they're in Sanctuary of Apollo, in Athens, in Sanctuary of Olympia... everywhere you've got a temple or whatever. To the point that I'm not sure where I grabbed the screenshots in. Thanks for that article! :) Sadelyrate (siniath) 12:07, February 3, 2019 (UTC)
 * I can't believe they did only seven metopes out of twelve, that's so typical of Ubisoft :\ Nonetheless, thank you for checking out anyway! --Piero.schiavone1994 (talk) 16:36, February 3, 2019 (UTC)

The Dagger
I think the Dagger may have been in league with the Cult of Kosmos after all. I recently found out that the cultist Skylax was stationed in Euboea at the time, and I think those corrupt Spartan soldiers, who sided with the Dagger, may have been under his command since he was a general. Frontierchris (talk) 16:05, February 11, 2019 (UTC)
 * Yes, Skylax the Fair was the leader of the Obsidian Islands at the time. But that in itself doesn't mean anything. We need better proof than that to say The Dagger was an ally/puppet/otherwise in the thrall of the Cult. Sadelyrate (siniath) 16:25, February 11, 2019 (UTC)

Well it was mentioned that the Dagger was being supported by someone in the shadows, sounds like the Cult to me, and Skylax may have been Neritos’ connection to them, but then again the Centaur was in the area as well. --Frontierchris (talk) 16:34, February 11, 2019 (UTC)
 * May have been. That's circumstantial evidence, at best. We need better proof. Sadelyrate (siniath) 16:38, February 11, 2019 (UTC)

Have you tried asking Ubisoft?--Frontierchris (talk) 16:41, February 11, 2019 (UTC)
 * No, I haven't. Not exactly my cup of tea. Nothing's stopping you, though, but until we find something solid, deeming The Dagger as CoK-lackey is based on about as much as saying that of, say, Daughters of Artemis. Sadelyrate (siniath) 16:44, February 11, 2019 (UTC)

You know I’ve been wondering about that, what to people thinking that the Daughters of Artemis were puppets to the Cult? --Frontierchris (talk) 16:49, February 11, 2019 (UTC)
 * Might have been just because they attack the protagonist. Might've just because Followers of Ares are. Who knows? Sadelyrate (siniath) 17:02, February 11, 2019 (UTC)

What about the cultist Zoisme? She looked like a Daughter of Artemis. --Frontierchris (talk) 17:06, February 11, 2019 (UTC)~
 * She's not a Daughter. Sadelyrate (siniath) 17:08, February 11, 2019 (UTC)

I only said she looked like one. Anyway did you see that YouTube video about the leak on an upcoming DLC called Legends of the Aegean Sea? --Frontierchris (talk) 17:42, February 11, 2019 (UTC)
 * Haven't seen that yet. Sounds promising. Sadelyrate (siniath) 17:43, February 11, 2019 (UTC)

Mercenaries
Sadel, there are two mercenaries I found, Chloe the Poison Drinker and Syntyche the Dragon-Skinned. I would make articles for them, but the problem is that I can only find one YouTube video for each of them, so I can't tell whether or not there are other mercenaries who share their titles, or if they come in the same form or not. Could you check your game and see if you can confirm it for more? Oh and I might as well explain the same form thing, you see I found these other mercenaries; Yulios the Balanced, Klaasr the Exasperated, Rasmos the Talented, Nikolaos the Fearless Cook, etc. and their names were the same in each video but their forms or avatars were always different. Frontierchris (talk) 17:41, February 13, 2019 (UTC)
 * Sorry, haven't run into either Poison Drinker or Dragon-Skinned. The others I have, but can't confirm their avatars; the names + epithets came in same combinations, but can't confirm if they looked different than in someone else's playthrough. Sadelyrate (siniath) 17:47, February 13, 2019 (UTC)
 * I'm only looking for the first two, were you looking on your own game or at YouTube videos?  Frontierchris (talk) 18:35, February 13, 2019 (UTC)
 * My own. Sadelyrate (siniath) 18:42, February 13, 2019 (UTC)
 * Okay, well please let me know when or if you do happen to run into them.  Anyway what about Neokles, Son of the Sun, Agnete the Shark-Toothed, and Kameiros the Dunheap?  Frontierchris (talk) 18:52, February 13, 2019 (UTC)
 * :::Son of the Sun and the Dungheap are RNG: I've met them with completely different names. Shark-Toothed I've yet to see. And sure, will keep my eyes open. :) Sadelyrate (siniath) 18:56, February 13, 2019 (UTC)
 * What about Lasos the Immortal, Kerkyon the Bard, Milanion the Wing-Footed, and Maron the Glorious, did you run into them?  Frontierchris (talk) 18:57, February 13, 2019 (UTC)

Change the spelling of Crete to Krete
Hey, do you think we could change the title of the Crete article and spell it with the K? It's a Greek island and given that it's a Greek originated word, I think we ought to be paying respect to that by being as authentic as possible. So, we should spell it with the Greek Kappa. The Latin C is just Romanizing the word, which I don't think is accurate either to the word or to the region itself.

Let me know what you think because I tried to see if I could change the title article myself, but I wasn't able too. Maybe I don't have the authority, who knows. Somebody has to though.  Supreme Master Assassin O Mentoras 22:15, February 12, 2019 (UTC)

Post Note: Okay, so I actually went ahead and changed the spelling of the article from Crete to Krete. Now, hear me out before you decide it was a bad idea. If you go on Google Translate, and you type, Κρετε, it is translated to Krete in English. Don't believe me? Well, here's a screenshot proving it to you.  Supreme Master Assassin O Mentoras 22:25, February 12, 2019 (UTC)
 * Either way's fine by me. The 'rule' of this wiki has been that the spelling that's the latest and/or most numerous is the spelling preferred. In both regards, Odyssey is pretty useless: in the game we've got it spelled both as 'Krete', 'Kretan' in dialogue and quest texts, but also as 'Crete', 'Cretan'. Sadelyrate (siniath) 23:14, February 12, 2019 (UTC)
 * Fair enough, although I would still argue that the manual of style for foreign words be that the word (s) be spelled in the manner that they originally appear in to denote their status as non-English terms and that any alternative spellings be mentioned. For example, Krete is alternatively spelled as Crete in the English language, but that the most authentic way is the phonetic Greek usage. The same thing can be applied to Makedonia/Macedonia and Herakles/Heracles. I have noticed that Herakles can often be spelled as Heracles in subtitles, so someone must have been dozing off with the subtitles.  Supreme Master Assassin O Mentoras 02:47, February 13, 2019 (UTC)

Adrestia's Crew
Sadel, could you please do an article on Pandaros, the character who can be recruited to the Adrestia through the side quest "Bare it All?" Frontierchris (talk) 19:09, February 14, 2019 (UTC)

It's been over a week now, where is Pandaros? Frontierchris (talk) 15:12, February 22, 2019 (UTC)
 * Hey just wanna input my thoughts here, hope you don't mind Sade. FrontierChris, you do know that we all editors do this on our own free time right? This is a free project and we are not paid to create and edit articles. We all have our own personal lives to spend than just focusing on wikia editing. If you're impatient with not getting the Pandaros page, I suggest that you get the game itself and get the info that you need. XOdeyssusx (talk) 15:37, February 22, 2019 (UTC)
 * What XOdeyssusx said. Unfortunately, RL interfered with my game/wiki/online plans. Be patient, Frontierchris, or do it yourself. Sadelyrate (siniath) 16:09, February 22, 2019 (UTC)

Assassination Targets
I found another name to add to Bayek's list of targets, the bandit chief Fat Homer, only I don't know where to place it since Bayek killed him during the 48 BCE. Where do you think I should place Fat Homer? Frontierchris (talk) 01:06, February 16, 2019 (UTC)

Sourcing
Sadel, I think you should probably give sources of where you got the images for Nora the Snow Leopard and Klymene the Beautiful Justice. Frontierchris (talk) 19:34, February 19, 2019 (UTC)

Statues of Serapis
The original statue of Serapis erected by Ptolemy I Soter was historically depicted with Cerberus, at least according to Plutarch. I feel the way you worded the edit to the trivia point makes it sound like the devs on their own chose to depict it similar to Hades rather than that actually being to correct depiction. Lacrossedeamon (talk) 08:28, February 21, 2019 (UTC)
 * Oh, didn't know that; thanks for telling me. But the statue's identical (not just similar, same) to the statue of Hades seen in ACOd, so you can hopefully see why I worded it the way I did. Sadelyrate (siniath) 08:30, February 21, 2019 (UTC)
 * Yeah it’s understandable. Maybe note that the same model was reused for ACOd. Lacrossedeamon (talk) 08:34, February 21, 2019 (UTC)
 * Changed it to clarify. Fyi: the statue they've used as a base is identified as Hades, not Serapis. At least as far as Wikipedia goes. Sadelyrate (siniath) 08:41, February 21, 2019 (UTC)
 * I also added a little more to that point. I think we got all of it covered now. Lacrossedeamon (talk) 08:48, February 21, 2019 (UTC)
 * Just to add on. The statue of Serapis isnt the only one being reused for other gods in Odyssey. Same goes for the goddesses as far as I can tell. XOdeyssusx (talk) 09:09, February 21, 2019 (UTC)
 * Yeah, pretty much all the Greek statues are shared resources between the two games; Herakles tends to stand on top of brothels in Egypt. There's a reason people joke that Odyssey is a reskinned Origins. Sadelyrate (siniath) 09:13, February 21, 2019 (UTC)

Next Epic Mercenary
You know Sadel I was thinking! Remember in Abia the Shaded's biography it mentioned she had a sister, well I think she should be the next epic mercenary. What do you think? Frontierchris (talk) 18:38, February 23, 2019 (UTC)

Deianeira
Are you on discord? Anyways Deianeira doesn’t appear in the novel. Nesaia is the only Champion of Beoetia featured but is male and a captain in the Athenian army. Lacrossedeamon (talk) 15:36, March 1, 2019 (UTC)
 * That's a...curious choice, to name a guy Nesaia. Also curious that Deianeira doesn't appear, or the other champions. Oh well. Thanks for letting me know! :) Sadelyrate (siniath) 15:41, March 1, 2019 (UTC)
