Bureau names
I was going through some of my old school stuff and I came across my Arabic notes. Turns out, the plural of Rafiq is Rafiqan (pronounced Raa-fi-kaan) and the feminine form is Rafiqa or Rafiqah (phonetic spelling, so you get to choose =P). The meaning remains the same but the current system is slightly inaccurate in terms of grammar, and might be considered a little sexist. You guys might want to fix it. Thanks =) 16:53, August 19, 2012 (UTC)


 * I see. Well, can you fix it or is it protected? -- 17:06, August 19, 2012 (UTC)


 * You want me to do the rewording? Sure I guess. I'll just need a few links to the pages that may require rewording, and it seems as though I should be able to edit them without protection issues. 17:11, August 19, 2012 (UTC)


 * I don't know all the pages it's misspelled on, if there are any. I assumed you spotted the errors. -- 19:50, August 19, 2012 (UTC)


 * I would go for the male form, simply because all the Bureau leaders were male (even in the Fall epilogue), and we haven't seen a female one so far. Slate Vesper (talk) 20:07, August 19, 2012 (UTC)


 * I meant in the staff pages Slate. I'm heading out right now so I'll work on them when I get back =) 01:02, August 20, 2012 (UTC)

It is done, Mentor. Hope I didn't mess anything up. =) 12:22, August 20, 2012 (UTC)

Not to spoil anything, but rafiqan is not plural, it's what we use to say two "rafiqs", the plural form would be rifaq for male, and rafiqat for female. Quite late, I know, but I just noticed this conversation. Shrt Fngr Talk 21:20, August 22, 2012 (UTC)

Hmm, well, Arabic isn't my first language, and I studied it many years ago, so I'll defer to your opinion on that matter. If you're sure about it, take Sima's permission and edit out the pages. 00:23, August 23, 2012 (UTC)

Well that's why I said it. Sima, should I do it? Shrt Fngr Talk 09:32, August 23, 2012 (UTC)


 * Err... I'm beginning to wish we'd just stick with Rafiqs. But sure. -- 14:49, August 23, 2012 (UTC)

Fan-fiction
Well. Okay so in fan-fiction stories can you include characters like Desmond? I know you can't really expand an actual character's storyline but, meh.

BoomDraw (talk) 10:33, August 20, 2012 (UTC)

Yes you can. Any details that try to change what's been established in the game's canon material will make the Fanon article "Fan-NonCanon" though. Slate Vesper (talk) 10:48, August 20, 2012 (UTC)

Gunnar Giveaway
Hi Master Sima Yi,

Just following up on the email I sent about the Giveaway. Are you still running it, if so when? Would love an update please! thanks, Peter 23:55, August 21, 2012 (UTC)


 * Hello! I don't think I have received an email yet, but we still plan on holding a contest, but we have not yet decided when and what about. I have to get some time to catch up with Vatsa first and then I will get back to you. -- 21:07, August 22, 2012 (UTC)

Vandal
Hi Sima, here is a vandal that messed up the Apple of Eden 2 page by inserting nonsense. -- ► Kaloneous ◄♣HelpDesk♣ 22:06, August 24, 2012 (UTC)


 * Done. -- 11:16, August 25, 2012 (UTC)

Spoiler tags
I noticed that you said the wiki doesn't have an official amount of time before a spoiler tag gets removed. Could I make a forum about it? And hopefully, we'll reach an agreement on when to remove them. 20:37, August 27, 2012 (UTC)


 * You don't have to ask my permission to make a forum proposal. -- 20:44, August 27, 2012 (UTC)
 * This was more a way of letting you know what I'm up to. I'll get on with it. 20:48, August 27, 2012 (UTC)

AC3 Outfits
Sima, would you mind taking a look at my sandbox and letting me know whether I could move it to the mainspace? If not, what modifications should I make to it? Thank you =) 14:57, August 28, 2012 (UTC)


 * You can put the images in a gallery so you don't have all those unnecessary empty spaces next to images. -- 15:17, August 28, 2012 (UTC)


 * Will do, Mentor. I'll match the categories and names with the corresponding articles for AC2, Brotherhood and Revelations as well. 15:35, August 28, 2012 (UTC)

Connor messed up blades
Omg omg omg omg, mentor, i think i saw connor in the assassin creed III gameplay trainer while hunting, he pulles his hieden blade, but then he disconnected the blade?! Omg. I'm 1000% sure he grabbed the blade out of the hidden partition, if you look closely you'll see it

NikoMarston (talk) 18:38, August 28, 2012 (UTC)

-sarcastic sing-song voice- He knows. 18:39, August 28, 2012 (UTC)

Umm, that's ancient news. It's on the Hidden Blade page too. You can rotate the hidden blade to make it a dagger. 18:40, August 28, 2012 (UTC)

Urge to murder... rising... --Kainzorus Prime Walkie-talkie  19:11, August 28, 2012 (UTC)

Ah well okay i wasn't awared of that, And if you going to threaten me with killing, you're doung a good job posting this at the administrator's talk page, dumb pezzo di merda NikoMarston (talk) 21:31, August 28, 2012 (UTC)

Calling others a piece of shit in Italian doesn't reflect that greatly on yourself either. Slate Vesper (talk) 22:13, August 28, 2012 (UTC) Eh, i think you missing the big difrince between calling someone piece of shit, and threaten someone to murder, just because didn't knew hiddenblades could be used as daggers NikoMarston (talk) 13:59, August 29, 2012 (UTC)

I'm pretty sure everyone here knows that wasn't a real threat. You do know that, right? -.^ 14:20, August 29, 2012 (UTC)


 * Even if he does, I refuse to acknowledge a person with that sort of god-awful spelling and sentence structuring of an overhyped energizer bunny on a sugar rush. Plus, hey look, more fanboys thinking they look smart by pulling a random non-english insult they would have never learned if it wasn't in the game they played. --Kainzorus Prime Walkie-talkie  19:41, August 30, 2012 (UTC)
 * -S-, I'm not defending him, but do you need to be so hostile? I know full well that you're only joking. But other people take jokes differently... 19:45, August 30, 2012 (UTC)

I just thought I'd let you people know I don't give a rat's ass about this discussion. -- 19:53, August 30, 2012 (UTC)

I think we kinda figured it out...gotta admit tho, quite entertaining. 20:42, August 30, 2012 (UTC)

Vandal
This guy is really obsessed with vandalizing the Rosa in Fiore article. 19:25, August 30, 2012 (UTC)

Great minds think alike, Gabe. I came here for this. 19:26, August 30, 2012 (UTC)


 * Blocked. -- 19:53, August 30, 2012 (UTC)

Gunnar
Hey man, any update on gunnar giveaway? Did you get my email?

Peter 21:16, August 30, 2012 (UTC)


 * Hello! No, I have not yet received an email. However, I will have to redirect you to Vatsa1708 from now on since I will not be on Wikia a lot for the coming months (and haven't been for the past few weeks) or so due to college taking up my time. He's the other bureaucrat on the Wiki. :) -- 21:37, August 30, 2012 (UTC)

Possible Mistake?
Hi Sima, I don't mean to bother you, but I would like to point out what I believe is a mistake on the Connor Kenway page. This may be wrong but the image descripted as traditional mohawk outfit, near the bottom of the artwork section, I believe is wrong. If I remember correctly, Alex Hutchinson stated that this was concept art before the American Revolution setting was decided upon. This was supposed to be a different assassin, based in Chille.

Sorry if I am wrong. If I am, could you provided a source to clarify?Outsider (talk) 19:29, August 31, 2012 (UTC)


 * I'm afraid I don't have any sources for any of this. -- 19:56, September 1, 2012 (UTC)


 * Have you removed the image then? Outsider (talk) 20:34, September 3, 2012 (UTC)

A present =)
Thought this might brighten your day a bit. It's for all the hard work and dedication you put into keeping this wiki as awesome as it is. Thank you! (^-^) 17:15, September 1, 2012 (UTC)


 * Ohohoho seems our mentor could relax a bit he seems to be a bit stressed lately missed that old jokes, yes i'm talking to you Sima Also your talk page seem to have recovered from a serious incident created by a user... Enjoy your day Mentor!! You truly deserve it...


 * Well... that is weirdly awesome. XD Thanks dude. Thing is that I just started college and it's taking a bit of a toll on my day to day rhythm. I definitely needed this after the impossibly horrible day I had yesterday, thanks a lot. :) -- 19:58, September 1, 2012 (UTC)

I know exactly how you feel Sima; it takes more than just "a bit of a toll" on my rhythm ;) You're welcome! ^-^ 00:51, September 2, 2012 (UTC)

AC 3 money gone?
Ofcourse this could be ancient news, however i didn't read it anywheee, is it possible that the system of money including lootijg is gone? Because in the trailers i didn't saw any money, and when connor stand next to a body i didn't saw any looting options? Could it be that ubisoft didn't programmed money in the game, or am i seeing blind? NikoMarston (talk) 20:12, September 1, 2012 (UTC)


 * The economic system will return. -- 20:34, September 1, 2012 (UTC)

That's good to hear, succes with your college time :) NikoMarston (talk) 00:19, September 2, 2012 (UTC)

Correction to Aveline's Voice Actress
I found an article herethat explains that Sarah Natochenny will not be voicing Aveline but rather a different actress. Just thought you should know! ^^Strang3Happ3nings 22:03, September 1, 2012 (UTC)

Lol, this was the very source used for the Sarah Natochenny article. Dammit Kotaku. 00:51, September 2, 2012 (UTC)


 * We should just ban all Kotaku articles from the Wiki. Correction, ban Kotaku from the internet. -- 12:44, September 2, 2012 (UTC)


 * Being the person who collected all the data and wrote out the entire Sarah Natochenny article, and told his friend Ash Ketchum was voicing Aveline, I whole-heartedly second this. 13:53, September 2, 2012 (UTC)

GameStop info
Deae master, not sure if this went through already but. I have some info on ac 3. At gamestop i asked about ac 3 and the manager told me he played some. I asked about templars and he mentioned Benedict Arnold. He said he is not the main templar but one of them. Just thaught you should know. America&#39;s mentor (talk) 01:11, September 5, 2012 (UTC)

For now, we don't have an official source to confirm this information so I'm afraid we can't add it to any articles. Once we have one, you can be sure we'll add it to the corresponding articles. 01:25, September 5, 2012 (UTC)

Hey I just got back on to the wiki, and just wanted to let you know I'll probably be a lot more active now. Thanks. Subject 8 (talk) 02:22, September 5, 2012 (UTC)

missing ACR Edition
hey

Sima(mentor) there is an edition missing in the ACR article: the ottoman edition http://www.computerandvideogames.com/337252/ubisoft-dates-assassins-creed-revelations-ottoman-edition/

--ACsenior (talk) 19:21, September 8, 2012 (UTC)


 * Then add it. And there is no point in changing the date in which you posted this message except from making it fake. -- 19:23, September 8, 2012 (UTC)

The Chain
It seems like you have your hands on the Chain. A massive sigh of relief from me, since I can't get it until it hits comic book stores (if ever)... Just wanted to say "Thank you, and keep up the good work." =) 16:25, September 7, 2012 (UTC)


 * I have... read, The Chain, I don't have an actual physical copy. As such I will not be able to get my hands on any high quality images. -- 18:39, September 7, 2012 (UTC)


 * Something is better than nothing though, right? We can get to work on the articles and add images as they come =) 19:56, September 7, 2012 (UTC)

Image policy
What's our policy on letting other wikis use images uploaded by our users? I've lurked a moment on my native AC wiki and they're blatantly taking and renaming our images with no sign of any sort of credit, or just using them as they are without even a rename. See here. --Kainzorus Prime Walkie-talkie  01:03, September 21, 2012 (UTC)


 * Our policy usually is to politely tell/ask them to source their images and templates back to us. Threatening to report them to Wikia also tends to work, but Wikia is a free license so they aren't breaking any rules. -- 15:38, September 21, 2012 (UTC)

My Talkpage
I was wondering why I didn't recieve the nearly universal white box on my talk page, and how can I correct that. I know you are very busy, and I thank you in advance for any assistance. AlexAdler (talk) 01:53, September 21, 2012 (UTC)


 * You can copy paste it from someone else's talk page by editing that person's whole talk page. -- 15:47, September 21, 2012 (UTC)

AC1 memory pages
I've been thinking that we should create pages for AC1 memories, like we have for the other games. The Animus interface for replaying memories has descriptions and memory images of those, and they're not that different from subsequent games. Thoughts? --Kainzorus Prime Walkie-talkie  02:12, September 22, 2012 (UTC)
 * I have a question, if we were to do them, what would they be called? Memory Block 1 and such? I'm curious is all. -- Teller Words, On my Screen :O 04:43, September 22, 2012 (UTC)

I agree with Kain; it would make our wiki even more comprehensive than it already is. For AC1 memories, we just replace Sequence with Memory Block, and the rest is pretty much the same as the other games. 06:36, September 22, 2012 (UTC)
 * It's not the same though, the rest don't have individual titles like ACII does. -- Teller Words, On my Screen :O 06:39, September 22, 2012 (UTC)
 * Number them perhaps? Or come up with a naming system that explains what the memories are? 06:42, September 22, 2012 (UTC)


 * Edit: I've had a look, some of the memories are clearly named in the menu, as they are in the other games, others have generic names. --<font color="#7575DB" face="OCR A" size="3">Kainzorus Prime <font color="#4C99A6">Walkie-talkie  06:50, September 22, 2012 (UTC)


 * I agree that we should make them, and I have since I made the first memory page. Though I never got through with it. We can create a forum where people can list suggestions for a naming system and see which one is the best. We should probably get this done before AC3 comes out. -- 08:32, September 22, 2012 (UTC)


 * I'm sandboxing a memory box for the bottom of the page. Names wouldn't be all that pretty but we'd avoid confusion. I'll post it to the forum when it's done. --<font color="#7575DB" face="OCR A" size="3">Kainzorus Prime <font color="#4C99A6">Walkie-talkie  08:41, September 22, 2012 (UTC)

Timeline & Initiates
Assassin's Creed: Initiates has gotten pretty big, and I think we should make it collapsible like Abstergo Files or 2012 Conversations. As for Timeline, I think some images, and making it collapsible in a similar way would be a good idea. Oh, and you should probably update the Timeline with AC Initiates info when you get the opportunity. Thanks =) 15:20, September 22, 2012 (UTC)

EDIT: It took me a while, but I think I've done it. Can you please review this and let me know if I should transfer it to the mainspace? Thanks 15:55, September 22, 2012 (UTC)


 * I am not going to make the Timeline article collapsible. I already tried that and it didn't work out. I will add the remaining info from Assassin's Creed: Altaïr's Chronicles, Assassin's Creed: The Chain and Assassin's Creed: Initiates when I have the time. And propose the collapsible on the Initiates talk page with Yay, Nay and Comments sections. I don't own this Wiki, so I don't make decisions by myself. -- 21:37, September 22, 2012 (UTC)


 * Done; please vote here. As always, I appreciate your input. =) 00:56, September 23, 2012 (UTC)

Altaïr and ezio
Safety and peace master

I'm in a discussion on a forum wether altaïr is familly of ezio audotire in ANY kind of way

I know that desmond has both of the DNA in his blood, and that altaïr is not directly familly, But is he not familly of ezio in any ither way "not speaking of adam and eve" but was altaïr's ancestor not dominic auditore? Or something like that. Or do i have been fooled? Is altaïr familly of ezio in any way but adam and eve, or are they completly not?

I AM THE SOLUTION! (talk) 10:06, September 23, 2012 (UTC)

Ezio and Altair are only related through the fact that theiy share a common descendant: Desmond. Also, a bit ironic when the "solution" asks a question. =P "altaïr's ancestor not dominic auditore" Who is this dominic? Domenico Auditore was the Great-Great-Great-Grandfather of Ezio and in no way related to Altair. 10:13, September 23, 2012 (UTC)

/Yoink.

Al and Ezio aren't related to each other. The bloodlines were joined through subsequent generations, eventually ending up at Desmond. --<font color="#7575DB" face="OCR A" size="3">Kainzorus Prime <font color="#4C99A6">Walkie-talkie  10:19, September 23, 2012 (UTC)

Aah i understand know, i missspelled demonico, lol, And "the solution" was just a small joke lol, But im rather suprised, and a little bit of dissapointed, why spending time in a theory fr bloodlines, Why just don't let things run their course? Why didn't ubisoft made it easy, and let it be

Umar

Altaïr

Darim/sef

Several people i do not know

Giovannie auditore

Ezio auditore

More people i do not know

Connor

Still people i do not know

William miles

Desmond

Why just not do it this way, For me and i think a lot other people it would have been easier this way, and it is cool

And now comes my second question

Since desmond have both Altaïr's and Ezio's DNA in his blood, What is the bloodline of connor? Is altaïr or ezio related to connor? Or does desmond sinply have also connor's DNA in his blood?

I AM THE SOLUTION! (talk) 11:19, September 23, 2012 (UTC)


 * Aquilus, Altaïr, Ezio and Connor have no direct relation to each other. Their bloodlines converge at some point into Desmond. They didn't do this the 'easy way' because the 'easy way' isn't realistic. -- 11:29, September 23, 2012 (UTC)

The deacon part 1
Safety and peace master

I just this seccond made an edit to the page "the deacon part 1". The edit contains the fact. Hat the apprentice should have been killed. For breaking a tenet,  Stay your blade of the flesh of an innocent,   However. Someone removed it,  Why? My information was clear, and reliable I AM THE SOLUTION! (talk) 15:00, September 24, 2012 (UTC)

Nesty removed it because it had poor grammar. --<font color="#7575DB" face="OCR A" size="3">Kainzorus Prime <font color="#4C99A6">Walkie-talkie  15:04, September 24, 2012 (UTC)

My grammarfaults are no reason to delete information what has to stay there,  At least correct the typo,  if everyone is just going to delete anything with an grammar fault,   When how does this wikia will keep together? I AM THE SOLUTION! (talk) 16:17, September 24, 2012 (UTC)


 * It wasn't just grammar. The fact that the Apprentice "should have been killed" was opinion, not fact.  16:20, September 24, 2012 (UTC)


 * It doesn't "have" to stay there. Plus what you added is not factual. It was an accident, and as you can recall, Ezio also killed Tarik, who turned out not to be an enemy. Ezio also caused the deaths of numerous civilians when inciting the riot at the arsenal and when blowing up the ammunitions deposit in Cappadocia. The tenets didn't seem to be as held in high regard by the Renaissance. -- 16:21, September 24, 2012 (UTC)

Ah ofcourse, i'm sorry that i was too quick to judge, but slowly to correct myself, i just thought it was in need to put there :] I AM THE SOLUTION! (talk) 20:23, September 24, 2012 (UTC)

Ton of New AC3 & Some liberation Info
Sima, I need you to read this blog I made. Don't skip over any of it; read all the links. There is aton of info we need to add to this wiki; some gameplay stuff too. Can you read it soon?

 * I have already read it, but I'm not the only one working on this Wiki. I don't have as much free time as everybody else, and I've already got the Timeline article that requires my attention. You and others can just as well add the information as I can. -- 21:09, September 24, 2012 (UTC)


 * Didn't mean to bug you; just thought you might like to know. You are in charge, so I gathered it was best to tell you, in person. Outsider (talk) 21:01, September 25, 2012 (UTC)

Twitch TV Embed Interest?
Hey there Vatsa,

My name is Jorge and I'm on Wikia's Community Development team. I actually want to reach out to gauge your wiki's potential interest in embedding some Twitch TV content. To that end I'm contacting both you and fellow admin Vatsa.

To give some background, Wikia is interested in working with Twitch to get some native embeds for interested wikis. Twitch provides live-streaming of games, from simple lets-plays to massive tournaments and competitive events. Embedding could allows users to easily find streaming content or get together to chat about particular events. If the wiki is interested, you could also have you very own wiki channel/group to stream content to users, make your own show, etc.

Do you think this is something the AC wiki community might be interested in? If so, how would you like to use it (home-page embed, its standalone page with just links or an actual embed? something else? Producing your own show? Etc.) Either way, let me know your thoughts by leaving a message on my talk page. Also, if you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask.

Best, Jorge (profile)•(talk) 21:34, September 24, 2012 (UTC)

Sima, apparently recruits do return in AC3 so may i add the era icon in that page?

Don't believe me ? source

And if you'd like to let me edit that page.

Yours sincerely. 08:01, September 26, 2012 (UTC)


 * This is a Wiki, you don't need to ask me permission to edit a page... Not for any page. As long as your edits abide by the rules and policies. -- 08:04, September 26, 2012 (UTC)
