Anon edit on Ezio quote
Hi there, I don't know if you've noticed, but recently an anon user has been consistently editing the Ezio Auditore article, messing up one of the quotes on the article. I have previously asked the anon to refrain from doing this, explaining what affects his edits were having on the template, but they have since chosen to ignore me and ocntinued to do the same such thing. As one of the admins on this site, I have chosen to leave the next step in your capable hands.

Also, might I recommend you archive your talk page, it's getting quite long and makes loading somewhat trying. Jasca Ducato Council Chamber Assassination record 14:56, April 30, 2010 (UTC)

Yeah, Silver's been saying that to me forever. Maybe it's really time to archive it...

About the anon, he's blocked for 3 days, more info on his talk page. Thanks for bringing it to my attention, Ducato. And I know you already have rollback rights, but want to join the moderators group? I remember you already were a Istruttori, but disapeared for some time. Despite giving you a official status in here, if you ever interested in becoming a admin, that's the road. -- D. Cello 18:25, April 30, 2010 (UTC)
 * Sorry for the late reply, been back at Uni so not really had a chance to do much online. I'm always interested in trying to better the wikis I choose to work on, but what would becoming a moderator entails? Jasca Ducato Council Chamber Assassination record 12:31, May 4, 2010 (UTC)

Well, pretty much what you're already doing... watching articles, reverting bad or vandalized edits, keeping an eye out for the wiki. The new responsabilities would be the user interaction (since mod and admins are like the face of the wiki) and the focus on improving the wiki via new articles, ideas and projects. Every once and a while the staff reunites to discuss what's happening. Of course those meetings aren't yet near organized or constant as Wookieepedia, for example, but we do it. Altough we're good, my current idea is to expand the wiki as much as possible, so we can increase the staff numbers. More people, more activity, more ideas, better wiki. -- D. Cello 00:01, May 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * Our friend is back to vandalising that quote on the Ezio article again. Although they seem to be operatin under a new IP adress. As for becoming a moderator, the difficulty I have is in that I'm only really able to get online when I have some spare time, and with both work and university to consider, my spare time doesn't amount to much. However, if you're willing to allow that little tidbit, then I'd happily accept your offer of moderator. Jasca Ducato Council Chamber Assassination record 03:16, May 9, 2010 (UTC)
 * This other IP seems convinced that it was Ezio twenty ninth birthday that something happened, and his activity dates from 4 months ago. Maybe it isn't the same guy. Are you absolutely sure that twentyseventh is correct? -- D. Cello 03:28, May 9, 2010 (UTC)
 * It's not the age that concerns me. It's the constant messing up of the quote template that's irritating me; I just reverted it when I saw the quote template had been changed again, must not have noticed a difference in the age. Just checked it out, Ezio is 29 in 1488, I've put a place holder source in to back this up for the moment. Jasca Ducato Council Chamber Assassination record 09:06, May 9, 2010 (UTC)

Why do you hate MGS4 >:(!!!!!78.134.139.251 20:38, May 1, 2010 (UTC)
 * Sorry, what? o.O -- D. Cello 22:40, May 1, 2010 (UTC)

So, taking by the good side, AC beats the hell out of many other so deemed fanboys "great games" (I'm talking to you, Mario Galaxy/MGS4/similars). And that's what you need to know. XD

You on your UserPage also I cant find your current talkpage i pressed Discussion or whatever its called and this doesn't seem like it 121.72.180.189 10:23, May 12, 2010 (UTC) i am not a anon but my browsers broken so i cant login

Aaand... you're lucan7, right? -- D. Cello 17:26, May 12, 2010 (UTC)
 * This is my talk page, it's correct. And I just don't like MSG4, it bores me. I think the hype for it was great mainly because of the PS3 and the franchise. We've never heard of it anymore after the release, it never made it into any top 10 games of the decade or nothing. But anyway, it's my opinion, you shouldn't have a problem with that. ;D

I dont really know what MGS4 is Mario... Galaxy... Superness 4? Something i have no ideaAuditor(e) 10:42, May 23, 2010 (UTC)

Al Mualim's Knife
I have been thinking about wether this article adds any important information to the article. We know almost nothing about it, and as far as we know, it might as well just be an ordinary knife that Al Mualim just picked up from a desk or something. Even if the knife would be worth mentioning, wouldn't it be better to just put it in Al Mualim's main article rather than to create a completely new one with about three sentences? -- Master Sima Yi 06:54, May 9, 2010 (UTC)

Redlinks
btw, while it's kind of odd, it doesn't really affects anything, so it's probably staying that way. -- D. Cello 21:39, May 13, 2010 (UTC)
 * Cello, you haven't happened to have prevent redlinks from showing on this wiki have you? I ask because all links I put in are showing up as liking to written articles (i.e. the links are blue), even when I know the articles do not exist. Ive checked my preferences and nothing is wrong there, so I can't see why it shouldn't be working. Jasca Ducato Council Chamber Assassination record 17:31, May 13, 2010 (UTC)
 * Yeah, that's been on for more than a month now. I contacted WikiaGroup and we were selected by Wikia Gaming to test this new interface. All links are blue to ease the acess of new users, and pages that don't exist are directed to a pre-layout. It's all part of a new experiment to include new members. Wikipedia is dying, man. Maybe you read it in the papers. But they are working to prevent that.

Banning users
D.Cello, user 96.55.160.211 vandalized my page, could you suspend or ban him? PassiveNeoluna 02:58, May 19, 2010 (UTC) I made it up. Neoluna is just new moon in Greek, although it doesn't match my icon. Basically my nickname represents a passive, far, hidden but everpresent entity. PassiveNeoluna 03:29, May 19, 2010 (UTC)
 * Done, Neo. By the way, what your nick means? oO -- D. Cello 03:17, May 19, 2010 (UTC)
 * I see. Interesting meaning. Anyway, the vandie is blocked. ;D -- D. Cello 03:36, May 19, 2010 (UTC)

D user 69.123.157.175 vandalised the Ezio page they thought it would be funny to put Huge Dildos in place of And More not a big thing i know but still an annoyance

Promoting an article
It's been a while since I nominated the Malik page, and I finally have the minimal amount of supporting votes for it, so can I promote it D. Cello? PassiveNeoluna 20:23, May 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * If you know how do to it, sure. If you don't, I'll explain it, and then you can do it. -- D. Cello 01:22, May 25, 2010 (UTC)

I would like for you to explain please. PassiveNeoluna 01:38, May 25, 2010 (UTC)

Deleting things
How do I delete things? or can i only add a Delete tag?

21:40, May 25, 2010 (UTC)

Only admins can delete things.

Also, thanks for the vandal report, but to speed things up, you can also send me the user page link instead of the IP.

One more thing: sign your posts with 4 tildes - ~ and try using less empty lines between the post and the signature. -- D. Cello 22:03, May 25, 2010 (UTC)

Al Mualim's Knife
Sorry about earlier i didn't know. We should delete Al Mualim's Knife. It is not relevant and can be put into Al Mualim's Article. Make the right decision.

May the father of Understanding guide you.

 * Instead of erasing the contents of a page, post your opinion on the talkpage. That way, everybody can say something about it. And the knife is relevant, at least enough for not being useless. -- D. Cello 19:37, June 1, 2010 (UTC)

Admin status
D.Cello I volunteer to be an admin, I'm usually around the wikia and I'm pretty dependable with managing vandals. And you can alway revoke my status if I don't do a good job. PassiveNeoluna 03:09, June 2, 2010 (UTC) And besides that, there's the time spent here. There are great users who are here for more than a year, they become Istruttore and when the opportunity appears, I offer them a chance to join the Admin Board. You've entered the Istruttorium a little time ago, so let's see how you do on the long run. Don't worry, I'll keep you in mind. As I do with every participative user here in wiki. -- D. Cello 03:22, June 2, 2010 (UTC) Okay I'll do what I can as an Istruttori first. PassiveNeoluna 03:38, June 2, 2010 (UTC)
 * Sure Passive. Thing is: when I make someone admin, I like to leave it that way kind of...forever. The guy must be good and trustworthy enough in a constant basis for being made a admin, isn't like "oh, that user seems a good editor, I'll make him admin and then revoke if I don't like it."
 * Glad you understand. -- D. Cello 03:51, June 2, 2010 (UTC)

About the Project
Good day kind sir. I would like to mention something about the project Assassin's Creed Wiki:WikiProject/Hungerer of Knowledge. If we are going to detail the AC timeline, don't you think we should add the events that happened in Assassin’s Creed: Lineage? I could help out in summarizing the events if you like. It's just a suggestion. Please tell me what you think.

War Clown 13:29, June 2, 2010 (UTC)

Absolutely, I think it's a great idea. =] In the project's page, you can find the instructions to which categorize the articles (templates and other stuff), a nice userbox badge for inserting into your profile, and a membership box where you can add your name to the project. Also, there's a list of the events currently covered in the Timeline Project, so as you create them, you may add'em to the list for everybody else keep track. Go ahead, put your ideas into work. If you have anything you want to discuss with me or need anything, you know where my talkpage is ;D -- D. Cello 16:14, June 2, 2010 (UTC)
 * Good morning to you too, sir.

On the same general note, when writing about any Assassin's Creed II history, should we include any of the extra stuff they put into Assasin's Creed: Renaissance if we come across something like how they make Claudia become a nun, all the extra romance with Cristina Vespucci, or even how Minerva doesn't talk to desmond in the book? (i know, big change) I would vote no, AC:Renaissance doesn't seem very connon, but that just me. --CarloGrimaldi 05:55, June 3, 2010 (UTC)

@D.Cello- I'm glad you think so. I'll begin to work on it :)

@CarloGrimaldi- I don't think we should include it. It's very different from the game, & some of the facts it has established wont add up to Brotherhood (for example, the death of Rodrigo Borgia. Apparently he dies in the novel, but it's been confirmed that he will be in Brotherhood). But that's just my opinion :) War Clown 07:47, June 3, 2010 (UTC)

BTW, How do you add userboxes? I barely touched my user page & would like to know how to add that badge you mentioned. Thanks in advance :) War Clown 09:17, June 3, 2010 (UTC)

Inpraticl erms we may say th AC is passed throg the Animus, so we have the direct, unaltered memories of that period. A book is written based on findings, and those findings might be subjective depending on the author. Stuff like a surname, which sometimes Ezio never heard, was researched by the book writer, like it's the case with Antonio. No last name in game, even in the Database, but the book gives it to us. -- D. Cello 17:09, June 3, 2010 (UTC)
 * To WarClown: Forum:Presenting: Userboxes! Knock yourself out ;D
 * To Carlo: AC:Renaissance is a novelization of AC2,what in general terms mean some creative liberties where tooked. Therefore, it is canon when it complimentsgame-info, but when it tries override, the games prevals. Read our sourcing policy for more info about canon.
 * okay, thanks, also, as long as were doing all the events in the series for the hungerer of knowledge project, shouldn't we put in desmonds modern day stuff too? like subject 16, subjuct 17 at ABSTERGO, escape from abstergo, time at assassins base, and discovery by vidic? (with better names than that) oh, and maybe the denver incedent, satellite launch, the whole new flouride scandal could be in there too, its up to you. CarloGrimaldi 02:36, June 4, 2010 (UTC)

Escape from Abstergo, Assassin's Hideout Assault, Denver Incindent, Tunguska Explosion: Yes. All others, no. Some aren't specific events and the satelite lauch hasn't happened yet, tough we could create a page with the current avaiable info about the subject. -- D. Cello 03:08, June 4, 2010 (UTC)


 * Okay thanks, ill add those to the project goals, what about Altaïr post AC1, like Ghengis Khan and discovies using the apple? or are those too general to be considered events as well? (sorry to keep bothering you, i just dont want to thow something on there that shouldn't be) CarloGrimaldi 06:56, June 4, 2010 (UTC)


 * Hey, no problem. I'm here for that. Nice initiative, by the way ;D About Genghis Khan and stuff post AC, we don't have many info about it. The hit on him and the codex stuff are relevant, but we unfortunaly don't have information about it to fill an entire article. But there's always the possibility that more will be brought on the subject, so you could creat those. One other thing I think would be a nice addition would be a Codex-related event page. I like to define an important event as something that happens (either by a greater motive or not) and causes consequences and reprecussions after the event itself finished, something with a beggining, middle and end. The writing of the Codex by ALtaïr began because he needed to express his discoveries about hte piece of eden, but it turned out becoming a Assassins Order Manual, who in turn caused him to bring with away from the Middle East, which caused his son to kill Genghis Khan, who caused to codex to be found by Marco Polo, who brought it to Europe, who passed to Domenic Auditore, who lost it, and then Ezio found it again and restructured the Brotherhood. See how many things happened that wouldn't otherwise if the Codex hadn't be written? That's an important and relevant event ;D We could use a page about, just need to think of a nice name =P -- D.

Ubisoft teasing another Assassin's Creed game

An Assassin's Creed game set in a "Egyptian location" ?

Just found it on the UbiWorkshop Twitter account

maybe it has something to do with the "unnamed Assassin's Creed game", that Nolan North admited to working on. Twomey1993 18:49, June 3, 2010 (UTC)

Altair's full image
Hi D! Just dropped by to say that I'm going to download Fraps so I can take screen shots of Altair and his Saracen/Templar/Crusader enemies.

It's just that the image of Altair in his current page is not quite accurate. He no longer has 4/2 large knives on his belt in the game, his clothes are not that accurate to the game's, and in the end he obtains the Syrian Sword.

As for enemies, im going to take screenshots of:

Saracen/Teutonic/Templar/Hospitalier Captains, Guards, and Rookies. Those will not be their names here though, I will leave the naming to you.

Let me know what you thinkSoviet SPETSNAZ


 * I think it's a great idea. About the Altaïr image, it's an Ubisoft official picture of his, high resolution and everything, and it's in the same molds as Ezio's picture for AC2. It's more official and "nice", matching picture for the article than a game play picture, since it don't have a background nor context and just shows Altaïr as what he is. So it would be better if we just leave it. But about the other pictures, guards, templars and stuff, it's a great idea. Don't worry about the name, in the Guards article we have a basic nomenclature and you can go free with it, just don't go over the top with stuff like "Seargent-Liutenant James Madison, Templar Captain of the 4th district of Jerusalem" and we will be fine. ;D Any doubts, just ask me. -- D.

Update on the Lineage Articles
Good day/afternoon/evening sir. I managed to summarize Part 1 of the Lineage series. But that's just the story part. I have yet to add things like links, images and infoboxes, because it get's rather messy. I'll add the links some other time. As for the templates, well...you see, I'm not as skilled at HTML as the other users here. That's why I can't use one of the templates set on the projects page. As for the images, the ones I have in stock are quite large, large enough to fill an entire section. So I can't use those.

I've managed to nail down the story, but I want to hear your opinion on it. Please tell me what you think: The Assassination of Galeazzo Sforza

Please give your honest opinion on it War Clown 13:14, June 4, 2010 (UTC)


 * Looks good, nice writing, War, detailed but not over...boring. Looks good. About pictures, you can add picturename to reduce the size. To make one of those white boxes with subtitle around the image, add |thumb|image's description before the "]]".

About the templates, it's pretty use, even I learned to use it =P In the infoboxes tempaltes pages there are instructions, you just need to copy the code from there and fill the lines that can be filled. Also, add on top of every article about events. Actually, just read the Timeline project page to get all you need to do in events pages. ;D Anyquestions, just ask me. -- D. Cello 02:43, June 5, 2010 (UTC)
 * For two-, three-, and four-way battles, use Template:Battle.
 * For wars or other conflicts, use Template:War.
 * For missions, use Template:Mission.
 * For duels, use Template:Duel.
 * For campaigns, use Template:Campaign.
 * For general events, use Template:Event.

Alright, I'll get right on it as soon as I get home (Sorry, got somewhere to go to :D) War Clown 04:05, June 5, 2010 (UTC)
 * Hey, we all got lives ;D No hurry. -- D. Cello 04:20, June 5, 2010 (UTC)
 * UPDATE: Alright. I made some minor edits, added some links, and some images. I'm still working out the template, I'll get right on it tomorrow. Check it out and tell me what you think. BTW, which of the templates you mentioned do I use? Thanks a bunch :D War Clown 16:44, June 5, 2010 (UTC)
 * Looks good, but the pictures size could be increased a bit. I would use either the Duel or the Event template, the choice is up to you. -- D. Cello 17:13, June 5, 2010 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I got a couple of questions. I'm getting the hang of these templates, but I just want to know some things
 * How do I separate (or collapse) the collapsible sections?
 * How do I separate (or collapse) the collapsible sections?


 * Since its written in code, how do i add images? Do I have to get their code or something?


 * My final question. Where did you get the Big Daddy userbox? I want one too XD

And that's all my questions. Thanks in advance :D War Clown 05:59, June 6, 2010 (UTC)

Nice to hear it. =] This box is one of my most beloved wikithings, treat it well, or I'll come after you ;D -- D. Cello 06:32, June 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * The collapsible sections are minimized by clicking the link "hide" in it after the template has been inserted.
 * Images must be added like this: |image= picture's name here.jpg
 * And the Big Daddy userbox is one of my private boxes XD Just add the following code to where you want the userbox placed:

Thanks for the Big Daddy userbox. Don't worry, I'll treat it well XD Sorry if I'm asking too many questions. I just want to be sure :D War Clown 13:24, June 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * By separating, I meant, like adding a bulleted list in the template. Like the ones in the Battle of Arsuf. How do I do that?
 * And about the template on inserting an image. Do I upload the image, type in a name, and just type in the name of the image?
 * Additional question. Are adding links within the template the same as adding links as I would an article?


 * Articles and bulleted lists work the same way they do within articless. and  to links and lines beggining with * for lists.  About images, yes, what you said was right. Add images using the Upload link in the left sidebar, put a relevant name, select a license (or the image will be deleted) and if possible, add a category in the description/summary section by writing  . And Big Daddies are awesome XD -- D. Cello 19:28, June 6, 2010 (UTC)

Fandom Page
I think we should have a fandom page here, for the most popular fandoms such as Vidic being Al Mualim and Borgia's descendant, the Feudal Japan setting, ect.Beirut 13:27, June 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * I don't particularly approve it, but if the demand is great, we may implement a project to it. Tell you what: You go ahead and think about how doing it, maybe even create some test version on a Sandbox. When you have something finished, we'll put it to vote for the community to approve. Deal? -- D. Cello 19:25, June 6, 2010 (UTC)
