Wolves
Articles related to the animals have been put off until the game has been released. Voice your opinion.. -- 17:42, June 7, 2012 (UTC)
 * Thanks, I'm fine with the consensus myself. --Alientraveller 17:47, June 7, 2012 (UTC)

My mistake
Hey Alien. Sorry about that revert earlier. Basically, I read your summary as "Achilles died before the wedding." I don't know how that happened, it just did. I blame lack of sleep and global warming XD 20:22, March 27, 2013 (UTC)

French Colonial Assassins
While Louisiana and Saint-Domingue were both French colonies, they were not one Brotherhood. And if they were, it's never stated or implied as such. Agaté did not have control over Assassins outside of Louisiana, only over Aveline and Gérald. François Mackandal did not have control over Assassins in Louisiana, as there were none during his day. It would not be reasonable for a Mentor in Louisiana to lead the Assassins in Saint-Domingue either, or vice versa. It's for a reason that Agaté is listed by Ubisoft as being the Mentor of the Assassins in Louisiana and Mackandal as the Mentor of the Assassins in Saint-Domingue. :P Perhaps separate articles for the Louisianan Assassins and Haitian Assassins would be better... (even though I am starting to have my doubts about the usefulness of their existence). -- 17:08, May 7, 2013 (UTC)
 * Perhaps we could revamp the Colonial Assassins article to cover all the British, French and Spanish members given how fragmented the Brotherhood was. I agree, there's not much point to Haitian or Louisianan Assassins given how either group didn't have much history. --Alientraveller (talk) 17:15, May 7, 2013 (UTC)


 * The Colonial Brotherhood was its own Brotherhood, not a convergence of different Brotherhoods. And a Brotherhood did not have multiple Mentors (e.g. Mackandal, Agaté and Achilles; Agaté and Achilles at the same time even). "You may not think it to look at him how, but this man was once the Mentor of a powerful branch of the Assassins - the Colonial Brotherhood." - the Mentor. The Colonial Brotherhood is simply the one in the Thirteen Colonies, strange how Ubisoft named it. The Assassins in Louisiana and Saint-Domingue were definitely their own Brotherhoods - especially those in Saint-Domingue, which were in the Caribbean. And I meant to refer more to the existence of all 'branch' articles, seeing as all information will inevitably be covered under the Assassins article anyways, and we can't make Templar branch articles because of their complicated and ever-changing hierarchy. -- 17:23, May 7, 2013 (UTC)


 * EDIT: And fix yo talk page, mayn! -- 17:24, May 7, 2013 (UTC)
 * Oh, what's wrong?
 * I think the branches articles are fantastic subarticles because the Assassins page is very long. Maybe we could split the French Colonial article. --Alientraveller (talk) 17:39, May 7, 2013 (UTC)


 * I have no idea what is happening to your talk page, but when I try to edit it entirely your message does not show up in the text box. Before that it was just acting up. Anyways, yeah, the Assassins page is very long - but that is unfortunately unavoidable when we have yearly releases... but it's mostly because we can't have proper Templar branch pages that, well, I'd call it my slight case of OCD, starts acting up. -- 17:50, May 7, 2013 (UTC)
 * To be fair, the Templars are an ideology, not a group of hooded killers created to exterminate them in any corner. The Templars manifested themselves as the Roman Empire, Knights Templar, the Church, Byzantines, British Army and now Abstergo. So in a way, they have many branch articles. --Alientraveller (talk) 18:23, May 7, 2013 (UTC)


 * Well, that is not entirely true: they did not manifest themselves as the Roman Republic/Empire, Byzantine Empire or British Army. These organizations stood on their own; the Templars infiltrated them, but these organizations were not Templar bodies. Just like the Assassins infiltrated the Roman Republic (the Assassin Senators Brutus and Cassius). In the case of the Byzantines, the Templars merely fought under the Byzantine banner to rally the Greeks in the Ottoman Empire against their new hosts. But yeah, I see your point. Main problem is that, well, during the reign of the Borgia, it would seem that Rodrigo Borgia was the Grand Master of all Assassins in Europe, seeing as the Borgia had their hands on everything Templar in the continent. Yet some time later, and Reginald Birch (and likely others) had their own 'Rites' throughout Europe. And Rodrigo Borgia is named specifically as the Grand Master of the Italian Templars in the AC2 database. Another issue is the Byzantine Templars, who were mixed with Ottoman Templars and did not last very long. The Templars fall and rise whenever they please, they don't seem to have had any clear hierarchy prior to the founding of Abstergo Industries. And after that it is still quite vague, with their puppets and all. -- 18:30, May 7, 2013 (UTC)
 * Heh, I should've typed manifested in, not as. In any case, we should leave the community to decide consensus on the branches articles and what French Colonial Assassins should cover or be split. --Alientraveller (talk) 19:21, May 7, 2013 (UTC)

Samuel Adams
Just thought I'd let you know that the Samuel Adams page is one of Emerald's assignments. He's been having trouble lately with his computer, but should be able to get back on it soon. 23:03, July 11, 2013 (UTC)
 * I have permission from Nesty his mentor, though I ought to check with him as well. Thanks for the reminder. --Alientraveller (talk) 23:25, July 11, 2013 (UTC)

<3
Just leaving you a message to say that you're doing a really good job with your revamps and you're improving the Wiki a lot. Keep up the great work! :D Slate Vesper (talk) 22:42, July 26, 2013 (UTC)
 * Thank you, you're very welcome, though I feel all I'm doing is desnarking Shaun's database pages and adding events from the memories themselves. :) --Alientraveller (talk) 22:57, July 26, 2013 (UTC)

Fabiola Cavazza
So, I saw that you undid my edit on the Courtesans, concerning Fabiola Cavazza. Fair enough, she is indeed not quite so notable as her counterpart. However, I still think she deserves a mention, though not in the same spot I'd put her before, obviously. I figured I could put her in the "Known Courtesans" bracket, create the "Constantinople" category and put her under that with a small description (after all, a courtesan in Constantinople is highly unusual). I would've done it myself, but for some reason, the page has gotten locked up (did you do that?). If you are able to edit the page yourself, could you please add Fabiola Cavazza to the article in my place? I'd really appreciate that :)

hi
hi. a question. do you know what acfanon pages are Malek Kriya (talk) 19:39, August 6, 2013 (UTC)

Apprenticeship
Whereas the Apprenticeship is not needed to become a member of the staff team, it is a great way to improve your editing skills. You have shown yourself to be a valuable editor already, but we of the Bureau think you can be even better, hence this invitation. Nesty Contact me! 19:49, August 10, 2013 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the offer, I might accept later but I currently have a lot of my own projects. --Alientraveller (talk) 10:45, August 11, 2013 (UTC)

Connor's Use of Contractions
It wasn't just once or twice. He started to use them often after Bridewell Prison. Jackass2009 (talk) 19:59, August 14, 2013 (UTC)
 * That's why I've rephrased it to Watts and Ubisoft "avoided" Connor using contractions. It's a clear creative decision to have the character speak slowly and thoughtfully using terms like "I will not die today: the same cannot be side for you" or "It is not." When he does do it it's often very noticable like when he screams "I'm never leaving!" or "That's it!" Kind of like when he smiles. --Alientraveller (talk) 20:11, August 14, 2013 (UTC)


 * Ah, when I left that, it was right before that edit, but after mine was undone. My bad. I think what you changed it to is the best that sentence could have conveyed the truth and sorry for the confusion. Jackass2009 (talk) 05:14, August 15, 2013 (UTC)

Achilles amendment
Hi, I noticed you added the following to Achilles' article: "In 1769, Achilles was chased by bandits seeking his property. While fleeing their pursuit, he yelled at Ratonhnhaké:ton, a young Kanien'kehá:ka boy, to move out of the way of his horse."

I was just curious as to where you got this from, as you didn't provide a source, and I cannot remember it being in the game. -- 10:16, August 27, 2013 (UTC)
 * Well I added the image to the gallery: that's him on the horse yelling at Connor when he comes to the Homestead for the first time. --Alientraveller (talk) 10:23, August 27, 2013 (UTC)
 * Ah, I remember now. Thanks. -- 15:02, August 27, 2013 (UTC)

Edward's nationality
Hello Alientraveller,

I would like to politely disagree, Edward is Welsh and as such, should be known by his nationality rather than the over arching, umbrella term "British" that is being used. I didn't realise I was edit warring, also, the accent used is clearly Welsh as evidenced by every gameplay trailer to date.

SionIeuanDavies (talk) 21:19, September 9, 2013 (UTC)


 * "Edward is Welsh" - according to whom? "The accent is clearly Welsh" - I'd agree but Matt Ryan said he's using a Manchester dialect. --Alientraveller (talk) 21:22, September 9, 2013 (UTC)


 * Also, just because the accent is Welsh, if Ubisoft want Edward to come from Manchester, then Edward comes from Manchester. No questioning about it. Adding to this, putting in Wales for the sake of one character's accent is no real reason to make the Wiki split the United Kingdom article to suit some people's whims, considering there's little else describing Wales in the AC series, and it would warrant no actual use. Slate Vesper (talk) 21:24, September 9, 2013 (UTC)


 * Except Edward is born in Cardiff... so we could just change the adjective to "Welsh", either way it'll still link to the UK's article. --Alientraveller (talk) 21:26, September 9, 2013 (UTC)


 * I've already sorted it and kept the "British" part in. Slate Vesper (talk) 21:28, September 9, 2013 (UTC)


 * He was born in Cardiff, he is therefore Welsh I'm afraid. Change the adjective to Welsh and keep the link to UK, that makes sense. It is after all, like you said, part of the UK, thank you gentlemen.
 * SionIeuanDavies (talk) 21:38, September 9, 2013 (UTC)
 * Being born in a particular country does not automatically make you that country's nationality, your nationality depends on your parents' nationality. Since he has an English father, and since he died after the creation of the Kingdom of Great Britain, he is therefore British, I'm afraid. -- 08:25, September 10, 2013 (UTC)

Recent feed and edits
Alien, just a quick advice. Please edit some articles as a whole, not as parts because you are spamming the Recent Activity feed. Hope this tip helps....

Cheers,

AgentG231  The Action Center 12:30, September 12, 2013 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I realized as much when I noticed the third thing I wanted to change on Cesare Borgia. --Alientraveller (talk) 12:32, September 12, 2013 (UTC)

Persian articles
why do you write untrue things about persian history

well it is my job as a Persian historian/artist to stop this kinds of ignorence where people see xerxes as a bad king were in real life he was a good man who saved countless lives, and I already talked to ubisoft about this, and they said that this infomation you wrote is not accurate

Unified category suggestions
Hey Alien, I just had a look over your sandbox, and I was thinking that it may be worth structuring "Illegal occupations" and "Criminal practices" under the subcategory of "Criminality", or dividing it up to a whole new section denoting "Law and order", which could allow for the inclusion of the guard and army set of categories.

Secondly, it may be worth reconsidering "Carnevale" to be under a new category of "Celebrations". Slate Vesper (talk) 21:38, June 24, 2014 (UTC)
 * And you could move these categories around? I don't mind, I'm just preoccupied with linking those categories that already exist, although I want Category:Historical documents and Category:Document collections to be merged into Category:Documents myself. As for creating a Celebrations cat, I'd rather place Carnevale in "Culture and society" and not leave it in a lonely category after the Midsummer and Christmas articles were deleted. --Alientraveller (talk) 21:47, June 24, 2014 (UTC)

IRC
Heya Alien, would you be able to meet me on the IRC today or in the near future? -- 10:22, July 30, 2014 (UTC)
 * I don't know how to use it! I've entered it before and I didn't know how to type on it! What's up? --Alientraveller (talk) 13:27, July 30, 2014 (UTC)

If you open the window, there is a text bar at the bottom. Alternatively you can install HexChat, which does not take too long. -- 13:52, July 30, 2014 (UTC)

Take a look here. Down at the bottom there's a text bar where you can type in. Then press enter. ;) -- 13:55, July 30, 2014 (UTC)

Sorry, I timed out I'm afraid. It's all a little geewhiz for me. --Alientraveller (talk) 14:48, July 30, 2014 (UTC)

You really need to get a better internet connection. :P -- 14:50, July 30, 2014 (UTC)
 * God, don't remind me, Virgin Broadband is horrible. --Alientraveller (talk) 14:53, July 30, 2014 (UTC)

If you are able to get back online though later today, as I'm heading out soon, we can continue our talk. -- 14:57, July 30, 2014 (UTC)

Rogue DLC
Hey Alien. I was looking through the activity feed, and noticed Assassin's Creed: Rogue downloadable content was deleted by V's bot, and marked for deletion by you. I was just wondering if there was a particular reason why it was marked. Be it created by a user, but not finished or left completely blank. If it's the former, make sure not to blank the page when adding the template. Hope to hear back soon, but I'll probably be at work when you do. 11:27, August 9, 2014 (UTC)
 * Oh yeah, it was created by a troll ranting about DLC practices. Maybe I should've just blanked it. --Alientraveller (talk) 11:31, August 9, 2014 (UTC)
 * Recreated with appropriate content. Thanks for getting back so quick :) 11:34, August 9, 2014 (UTC)

Image
You found that absurd-res image of Shay. Now I task you with finding an absurd-res equivalent of this http://assassinscreed.wikia.com/wiki/File:ACRG_Shay_without_Hood.jpg --Kainzorus Prime ⚜  Walkie-talkie  09:31, August 14, 2014 (UTC)
 * I'll keep an eye out for it. I found that huge picture when it was posted on the official forums. --Alientraveller (talk) 13:39, August 14, 2014 (UTC)
 * Good on you. Seeing how in all the actual screenshots of Rogue, there is not even a hint of the hood, I'm starting to think it really was just for CGI trailer, and so we'll switch to the linked image for infobox at one point. --Kainzorus Prime ⚜  Walkie-talkie  13:46, August 14, 2014 (UTC)
