Boston North End
I'd just like to say you're doing some great work with the multiplayer pages, getting them images and all. However, is there any chance you can find a version of the aerial image that doesn't have a watermark on it? (Ubisoft logo in the bottom corner) 21:44, August 1, 2013 (UTC)

Oh damn. I totally didn't see that there. I just procure my images from the internet, one of the admins on the Ubisoft Forums posted them some time ago. I'm afraid all I can do is cut off the partition with the watermark on it. I don't really like that as a solution, but I can't think of anything else. I've had a browse, but I haven't found one for Boston North End without a watermark :/ Crookandcharlatan (talk) 21:53, August 1, 2013 (UTC)

Protip
Add |250px| argument to the thumbnails in the main body, as that's the standard we use. Apart from the galleries, which are 180px. --Kainzorus Prime Walkie-talkie  21:56, August 4, 2013 (UTC)

Sorry, the pages I edit usually already have images, which aren't always set at 250px. I'll try to be more vigilant in the future :) Crookandcharlatan (talk) 21:58, August 4, 2013 (UTC)

Congrats!
Nice! You have made your mark. I also want to congratulate you on creating Mushrooms, contributing a lot to pages, and in particular, multiplayer pages, and putting up community discussions for changing images. You are becoming serious like admins! Once you reach 500 mainspace edits, I'll come back. Arriverderchi. Altaïr Skywalker 47 Agency Laptop 10:27, August 11, 2013 (UTC)


 * Thanks ^^; What happens at 500 edits, though? You have me curious :P Crookandcharlatan (talk) 10:38, August 11, 2013 (UTC)


 * Wait and see :) Altaïr Skywalker 47 Agency Laptop 11:22, August 11, 2013 (UTC)

IRC
If you have not yet tried the chat channel, go for it :) I recommend 'Crook', but it is always your choise. Your good behaviour and good wiki-progression ensures you a better future. By the way, you are nearing 500 mainspace edits, See for yourself! :) Altaïr Skywalker 47 Agency Laptop 01:49, August 18, 2013 (UTC)


 * I have already made an account for the IRC, Alty. I probably should have chosen "Crook", but I just typed out Crookandcharlatan, which got shortened, so on the IRC I'm "Crookandcharlat" lol. Thanks anyway :) Crookandcharlatan (talk) 08:53, August 18, 2013 (UTC)

Apprenticeship
Crook, I suggest that you must apply for apprenticeship! You have reached for its requirements! I hope you will respond to this message...

Cheers from the apprentice,

10:49, August 25, 2013 (UTC)


 * Agent G! :'( I was going to surprise him. You've spoiled it :'( *cries*. I was telling him that I'd notify him when he'll meet the requirements! Altaïr Skywalker 47 Agency Laptop 08:09, September 1, 2013 (UTC)


 * Oh, I'd forgotten to reply to this ^^; Umm, thanks Agent231 and Alty, I will definitely be trying out the apprenticeship after I've done my last exam on monday. Fingers crossed I'll get through the interview :P (though before that, fingers crossed i'll actually pass my exam :I) Crookandcharlatan (talk) 08:13, September 1, 2013 (UTC)


 * Just a quick heads up, brush up on your AC lore when you choose to apply. It will help. :) Slate Vesper (talk) 17:16, September 1, 2013 (UTC)


 * Once you get the knowledge part done, it's easy sailing from there, so dont worry too much :> -- Fragment -Animus- 19:02, September 2, 2013 (UTC)


 * I guess your exam is over as here is Tuesday. Come here :). Altaïr Skywalker 47 Agency Laptop 01:32, September 3, 2013 (UTC)

Mentoring
Hey, Crookandcharlatan, I was looking through the IRC logs and noticed you were looking for a mentor. I am available, if you're shopping. My most recent Apprentice, Arcemz, has graduated, and he is considering when to go through the nomination and approval process for the Bureau. I'm usually on IRC from 9ish-midnight CDT, and my IRCbot, TheRaven, takes messages for me. Just let me know if there's anything I can do for you. Thanks. DarkFeather Raven's NestRaven's Hunt 04:07, September 3, 2013 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the offer, DarkFeather :) There's a bit of a problem with timezones though; if my calculations are correct, you're on the IRC when I'm asleep ^^; 9PM for you corresponds to 4 AM for me. That's a bit of an inconvenience, since I'm likely to be hitting you up for advice often (I assume), and I'd prefer to do that in conversation. Regardless I'd be honoured to have you as mentor :) Crookandcharlatan (talk) 06:37, September 3, 2013 (UTC)


 * If he is not available, message his bot by typing "r. msg " without the "s, alright? Altaïr Skywalker 47 <span style="font-family:Copper;font-size:(Size)px;color:#FF0000;">Agency Laptop 06:33, September 3, 2013 (UTC)

Hey, Crook. You beat me to it, but I wanted to confirm we will be paired for the Apprentice Initiative. Thanks, and welcome to the Initiative! <font color="#000">DarkFeather <font color="#FFF">Raven's Nest<font color="#F00">Raven's Hunt 03:10, September 7, 2013 (UTC)
 * 1) To answer your IRC question, I think we can make it work -- I will available most of the day Saturdays, which seems to include the time you're usually on. When you usually log off is about an hour before I can log in, so for critical problems you can always catch me then. Otherwise, my talkpage and TheRaven will be waiting for you. If you are available tomorrow, please try to sign in during your normal hours and I will meet you then so we can talk about this.
 * 2) For your first assignment, please revamp Aveline de Grandpré to Manual of Style standards. From my first-pass look at it, the referencing needs some updating -- general standards usually recommend a sourcing at the end of each paragraph. Moreover, the paragraphing is a bit abbreviated in places and could be unified into more substantial units; there also areas of grammar errors, etc. that can be repaired. Make sure you sandbox your edits -- I've taken the liberty of creating you a second sandbox and tagging the page with the App Revamp template.

Finished
Hey crook, just so you know, when you update the article you have finished revamping, remove the Apprentice template at the top :> -- Fragment -Animus- 00:55, September 9, 2013 (UTC)


 * Just to make sure you've fully revamped Aveline's page, could you include the part where Aveline rescues Therese and brings her to Madeleine? It seems a little out of place to introduce her at the Chichen Itza part, since it assumes that the reader has already encountered her.


 * Edit: Before I forget, a useful tip to remember is that you can put the first capital of any page you want to link to as it is in lowercase. For example, whip can simply be placed as whip and still be a correct link. However, when you use another name for the hyperlink, make sure the original page is typed out how it is before the "|", and that the rule cannot be used in such a way: siege of masyaf is invalid, as opposed to siege of Masyaf . Slate Vesper (talk) 01:19, September 13, 2013 (UTC)


 * Also, another tip (for future reference) make sure if you ever do a historical revamp to not include TOO much information, as sometime too much is either not necessary or just takes away from the article itself...but your Aveline revamp is lookin good (so this tip doesnt really directly apply to it lel) :> -- Fragment -Animus- 01:34, September 13, 2013 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the tips, guys ^^


 * To Slate: I wanted to include Thérèse, but I was unsure how to incorporate it since it would kind of drag out the entire section under Asssassination of Governor d'Abbadie. I'll try and see if I can still get her in there, or under a different header :)
 * To Frag:  I know, I was following the general rule that a paragraph should be somewhere between 3-5 sentences long and I really struggled with it at some points. Return to Chichen Itza sounds a bit awkward, so I might go and redo that as well. I'll keep the "degree of detail" in mind.

ACL
You have ACL? I'm going to get a PSP soon, so, can you give me your review about it in minimum words? Altaïr Skywalker 47 (talk) 14:13, September 16, 2013 (UTC)

AC3L*, PS Vita* :P Slate Vesper (talk) 14:21, September 16, 2013 (UTC)


 * ACL? You mean Assassin's Creed III: Liberation for the PS Vita? I actually don't have it, I recently watched a playthrough of it on youtube. I don't have any actual on-hands experience with the game, but I suppose I can give you some pointers.


 * Apparently it has some framerate issues (it's the Vita after all; Liberation is a pretty big game for a portable console), especially if you're running through the environment really fast. New Orleans seems more fun to free-run through than Boston or New York :)  Aside from that it has the occasional minor glitch, but nothing too serious (don't quote me on this though, player experience can vary and I might've just seen a playthrough by a lucky person :P). The graphics are impressive for the Vita, but obviously can't be compared to consoles/pc. The story is a little disjointed, but Aveline as a protagonist is quite badass. Also some of the special Vita features can be quite gimmicky - apparently one involves pointing a light at the Vita's camera or something, and it doesn't always function as it should.


 * You might want to wait for the HD re-release though, in early 2014. I'm very excited for it, personally :) Crookandcharlatan (talk) 14:23, September 16, 2013 (UTC)

Promotion and next assignment
Congratulations are in order, if a bit belated, Crook. Work has kept me busy the last few days. You passed your first assignment, as we knew you would. So, you have a promotion and a new task waiting in your Pigeon Coop. Good hunting, and r.msg me if you have any questions. I will try to catch up with you sometime this week so we can go over it.

Crook: personal note. You need not spell Wiki. It's wiki. Wikia is a company (as you know) and should be typed with W in caps. Thanks. Altaïr Skywalker 47 (talk) 10:50, September 20, 2013 (UTC)

I did not know Wikia was a company :P Regardless, thanks for the tip. 11:18, September 20, 2013 (UTC)

Wikia is a wiki-farm co-founded by Jimmy Wales (As you know, the founder of Wikipedia). Altaïr Skywalker 47 (talk) 12:56, September 20, 2013 (UTC)

Not a problem :) You're still not sourcing your images though... I'll swing by your talkpage in a second with some useful links. Also, using headers on people's talkpages allows it to remain orderly, so keep that in mind for next time. 21:44, September 27, 2013 (UTC)

Image request
I once requested Aita's full body render too. See the completed requests section. Kain said that he was a minor character and doesn't view in an angle to view and render his body in full. Altaïr Skywalker 47 (talk) 08:10, September 29, 2013 (UTC)

Hmm, I see. I'll contact him about it and see if there's another way to go about this. Thanks for telling me 08:13, September 29, 2013 (UTC)


 * Always welcome. Altaïr Skywalker 47 (talk) 08:14, September 29, 2013 (UTC)


 * I'd appreciate you not going ahead and deleting my request though :/ I'm reinstating it until I get confirmation from another administrator or people who do occupy themself with screenshots and renders 08:16, September 29, 2013 (UTC)


 * You got your first proof from my deleted request, which is striked because of the Juno render, and second proof is the deletion of the request by Storm. Altaïr Skywalker 47 (talk) 08:23, September 29, 2013 (UTC)

Rank 3
Crook, do change your userpage, which currently states that you're rank 2, to rank 3. You've been promoted! Congratulations btw. Altaïr Skywalker 47 (talk) 10:31, September 30, 2013 (UTC)


 * I know, the problem is, I don't know what a rank 3 apprentice is called ^^; I shall have to ask my mentor at some point, when he comes online. Thanks anyway :P 10:32, September 30, 2013 (UTC)


 * You do not need to, see Teller's blog. Ranks are: Recluta, Servitore, Assistente, Milite, Disceplolo, Mercenario, Guerriero, Sentinela, Mandatario, Silenziatore, Operativo, Veterano, Assassino, Maestro, and Maestro Assassino. Altaïr Skywalker 47 (talk) 11:32, September 30, 2013 (UTC)


 * Nesty told me those are outdated; I think apprentices only need to ascend 10 ranks now before being (possibly) promoted into the the bureau. That blog post was made quite some time ago, so it's natural things have changed :) I feel I might have made a mistake, calling myself "assistente" when I was rank 2... I think that should've been "servitore" and I've only just become an "assistente". Regardless, I'll go ask Darkfeather or someone else on the IRC later today :P 11:48, September 30, 2013 (UTC)

Harvested v real name
Hi Crook, I've noticed that you've gone through all the Animi Avatar articles and changed "real name" to "harvested from"; I'm not sure that is, strictly speaking, correct, as it implies they took the memories from the characters directly, rather than from one of their ancestors. I'll leave it up to you to choose what to do... -- 16:11, September 30, 2013 (UTC)


 * Descendants, Jasca. Altaïr Skywalker 47 (talk) 16:15, September 30, 2013 (UTC)


 * Eugh, true enough. I always get that wrong... my point remains though. -- 16:18, September 30, 2013 (UTC)


 * Abstergo would have to get to that ancestor and then harvest the memories of said ancestor to enable them to create their Animi Avatars. Whoever they used to get there has never been elaborated, so we can't really go into that part. Slate Vesper (talk) 16:20, September 30, 2013 (UTC)


 * It seems your question's been answered, for I take too long in writing up replies :P It was Slate who jumpstarted that change by the way, I just went along with it. I suppose "harvested from" represents better that the Animi Avatars are based on the characters? 16:22, September 30, 2013 (UTC)

Correct me if I'm wrong, but he's talking about changing "Harvested" to something else, not mentioning the descendants in which the memories were harvested from Altaïr Skywalker 47 (talk) 16:24, September 30, 2013 (UTC)

EDIT: That was for Slate. Altaïr Skywalker 47 (talk) 16:25, September 30, 2013 (UTC)
 * Indeed. Since the memories were not harvested directly from, for example, Vlad Tepes, but rather a descendant of his (who's name we do not know), I would probably think it better to change it back to "real name", or something to that effect. -- 16:27, September 30, 2013 (UTC)


 * I do think the same, Jasca. I support your idea, but that sounds like a bit OOU... Altaïr Skywalker 47 (talk) 16:30, September 30, 2013 (UTC)


 * The genetic memories were harvested from the counterpart to the Animi Avatar's lifetime. For instance, despite being from an unknown descendant, the genetic memories were harvested from Vlad Tepes' lifetime, which Abstergo accessed through Vlad's descendant.


 * Also, having "harvested from" prevents users coming to the wiki and believing that Vlad Tepes and the Count are one in the same, even though the Count was produced as a 3D model in Abstergo's Animi applications. Slate Vesper (talk) 16:35, September 30, 2013 (UTC)


 * /switches sides to Slate leaving Jasca on the other side..... alone... Muhuahuahua!! Altaïr Skywalker 47 (talk) 16:38, September 30, 2013 (UTC)
 * It's still incorrect though, unfortunately. Hmmmmm, how about "(Avatar of xxx)", or something to that effect? -- 11:02, October 1, 2013 (UTC)

Sorry to bump into an old discussion, but Jasca is correct: harvested from is blatantly incorrect. -- 12:15, December 26, 2013 (UTC)

File:Charlotte Dubois.jpg
Crook, I noticed you uploaded File:Charlotte Dubois.jpg as gave it a Fair Use licence. I assume you have explicit permission from the photographer to upload the image? -- 12:25, October 1, 2013 (UTC)


 * Weelll... The image was sent to me by Charlotte Dubois herself, cause I asked her if she would like to provide a picture for her article. However, the picture wasn't actually made by her, I'm aware (she didn't provide a source so I had to look for it myself). Because the types of licensing are still vague to me, I asked the advice of Nesty, and she recommended the Fair Use license. 14:59, October 1, 2013 (UTC)


 * What's your line of contact? :0 202.164.150.213 16:11, October 1, 2013 (UTC)


 * PM via Ubi Forums. Who's this btw? :P 16:12, October 1, 2013 (UTC)

On Allies of the Templars and Assassins in AC3
Hi. Well if you read they're profiles, (Dr. Wolcott's and Alsoomse's) Dr. Wolcott was obvious commissioned if not hired from time to time by the English Colonial Assassins branch as an on-call interigator and torturer for them, since he worked almost exclusively on Templar 'patients'. And thanks for bringin' that up about Alsoomse, guess she was an ally to the Enlgish Colonial brotherhood branch after all. If it's alright with you, I'm gonna switch back Dr. Wolcott in the two member's lists. But yeah. Thanks for noticin' my editin' contributions to this wonderful wiki we love! ^_^

Have a good one, friend. M4 C-Corp (talk) 21:14, October 18, 2013 (UTC)


 * I have read both their profiles and I'd like to argue the contrary. The two paragraphs below constitute the hacked version of Victor Wolcott's biography:


 * A learned man of science, Dr. Wolcott thrived on the acquisition of knowledge and power. He had a particular fascination with biology, medicine and the { { inner workings of the human body } }> occult; so much so that it was rumored he had devised an elixir potent enough to keep his Templar patients alive well beyond traditional medicine’s capabilities.


 * (I wonder if Wolcott's research was based on Flamel's work...I bet Giovanni and Maria would know!)


 * You'll notice the biography focuses on keeping Templar patients "alive", in fact, there's not a mention of torture. I know that the "torture" part appears in the Wiki article, but that piece of information comes from an external source, the Ubisoft site itself, which is put second to information given to us by the game. Another thing that does not stroke with the Assassins is the mention of "power"; the Assassins are not focused on power, but on liberty and equality, they would not consort with an individual such as Wolcott. I also believe that if they wanted somebody tortured, I'm sure there'd be enough members within the order that were capable of such things.


 * So yeah, in my opinion, Wolcott does belong with the Templars rather than the Assassins (don't you think his design is kind of obviously evil?). I'll be switching him back to the article I'd originally put him, if you have any objections, please write up a reply :)


 * Thank you for your recent edits by the way; this one just happens to be one I disagree with. 21:46, October 18, 2013 (UTC)


 * Hello there, again, Crook.  I have read that hacked version of his profile that Erudito 'leaked' to us in multiplayer that is.  Well yes, I guess he was an on-call doctor for the Templars than the Assassins.  Thanks for lettin' me know that.  Also I was actin' hastly and was just excited to make those lists and edited them as such today.  Other than that, since I'm not big into the multiplayer of this game (it's not for me, I've tried it... trust me) do you know any vids or anywhere online where I can read all the actual profiles shown in the game or are the profiles on this wiki just as good if not better?  Just askin'.  Thanks for correctin' me too though.


 * The Abstergo Story has the hacked profiles of all AC3 multiplayer characters, if that's what you're looking for :) Most of the times, the Wiki articles for the characters also suffice, but just in case you want the information directly from the game.


 * And no worries, I've made mistakes during hasty editing as well. Thanks for your contributions and I hope you stick around ^^ 10:17, October 19, 2013 (UTC)


 * Ah ha. I hear ya. Thanks for redirctin' me to that entry as well. It does have all of them on there and I'll go through all of them then. Thanks for that link too! :3 But yeah, I'm a history major and a history buff in general and this time period is still looked upon with a great deal of scrutiny today as Achilles stated to Connor in-game. Still it's too bad that Alsoomse and Nukilik's characters were made up by Abstergo as revealed by Erudito in the hacked avatar profiles. Oh well. Begger's can't be choosers right? Plus you're welcome on my edits/contributions recently. I think I will be stickin' round for a long time. Have a good one! ^__^

Yes, apparently. I wasn't paying too much attention while downloading it :P 16:33, November 30, 2013 (UTC)

Edit
Hey, Neutraliser was wrong... He said "was likely" and it WAS never stated in the database. The database entry on Blackbeard I think said "in Bristol", not "likely in Bristol". I would gladly pull back if you proven me wrong...

Cheers,

10:07, December 2, 2013 (UTC)


 * I quote, from the database: "Known variously by different sources as Thatch, Teach, Theach, Tache, Tiche, Teatch, Tack, and more, we are fairly certain this Edward was born in or around Bristol and took to the seas...". In our article, "Edward Thatch was most likely born in Bristol" is simply a paraphrase, hence, it's correct.


 * Also, even if the database had said "we are certain", instead of "we are fairly certain", then your undoing an edit would still be wrong. You would've needed to delete the 'most likely', not the 'was' that Neutralizer added. Again, you should read more closely in the future, before undoing other people's edits :/ 10:14, December 2, 2013 (UTC)

Mary Read trivia
I wanted to ask why you think the items that were removed from the Mary Read page aren't trivia-worthy. The first one actually answers a question that people have come to the wiki to ask, and I feel like the second exists in lieu of a longer Legacy section. Is there anything in particular about them that makes them unacceptable as trivia? Molotov.cockroach (talk) 01:41, December 10, 2013 (UTC)


 * No, I don't know if there actual "rules" as to what information can be called "trivia". Anyways, I felt the first piece I removed belonged in the main biography; the second piece I could see being reinstated if it goes more into the meaning, because just "Mary Read appeared in lots of Edward's visions" feels a little dry and meaningless; the third piece was already mentioned in her infobox, so that was obsolete. Anyways, feel free to check up with others if you really feel these bits need to be in the Trivia section.

Liberation Images
Hello...I have done all the liberation photos...Even Roussillon :D


 * Awesome, the new picture for Vazquez is much better than the old one; Baptiste looks great as well :) As for Roussillon... well, he'd be perfect if not for his hair. It's supposed to be the same shade as his beard, so I'm not sure why it's much darker. If you could fix that up, you'll be rid of my whining about all the Liberation images :P Truly, thank you for all the work you've done so far.


 * By the way, I noticed the render of Caroline Scott-Kenway you uploaded. Again, not really sure why the colours are different, but Caroline's hair leans more towards orange-red, rather than outright scarlet. If possible, I suggest you look for a different model for Caroline, cause that's the one used only for one cutscene (in which she's in bed with Edward). She probably has a model for her regular clothes as well, so if you could find it, that'd be great. 14:16, January 27, 2014 (UTC)

Alphonse de Marigot
Alphonse de Marigot was a merchant, because he worked aboard a merchant ship, and eventually took over his masters business.--188.180.174.234 19:07, February 16, 2014 (UTC)


 * Hi, thanks for reading my message,


 * Well, just because he worked on a merchant ship doesn't mean he was a merchant himself, he could've been a deckhand for all we know. However, after thinking on it for a bit, I suppose he can have the category "Merchant". I didn't consider the "patron" to be the same person that owned the brigantine, but seeing as his biography doesn't really indicate another person, I suppose it must have been. I'll add the category back.


 * By the way, it would be cool if you made yourself an actual account :) Unfortunately, anonymous contributors are more likely to vandalize the wiki rather than contribute it, which is why the senior edits are automatically just a tad more suspicious of edits by anons. It would probably make it easier for you to choose a username under which you edit. Anyways, you don't have to, it's just a suggestion. 19:56, February 16, 2014 (UTC)


 * You could say he was a merchant because he inherited the business of his former employer after the man's death. He'd then have to operate those sugar plantations and sell the produce. Slate Vesper (talk) 21:10, February 16, 2014 (UTC)

Symbol
Hi, I was wondering if the Indian Assassin symbol was included in the new edition of the encyclopedia and if not, do you mind removing the background of this as a placeholder. Thanks! Raghava  Shah  15:41, March 26, 2014 (UTC)


 * Hey Raghava (or is it Shah? I'm not sure how to shorten your name ^^;)


 * So I had a browse through the encyclopedia; the symbol you linked me actually doesn't appear at all in the book. I've checked the Assassin Order section, the Sikh Empire section, the Brahman characters section (both historical and modern) but I couldn't find it anywhere.


 * The only way it appears is as the "jewelry" Arbaaz Mir wears on his right arm (it's the same image we use on Arbaaz's article). As such, I don't think the symbol you linked me can be used for the Indian Assassins' article because it only exists in relation to Arbaaz Mir :s You might need to consult one of the moderators for this, but in my opinion, we shouldn't use it on the Indian Assassins' article.


 * Ah by the way, I've seen your edit on the Indian Assassins article (thank you for that btw; it might need some slight fix-ups, but that's a lot easier than creating a section out of nothing). Here's something you need to know for future editing: if you want to link to an article on the wiki you can do so by typing, for example, Arbaaz Mir . The reason you can see the square brackets right now is because I used some fancy code :3 Without the fancy code, typing Arbaaz Mir automatically becomes Arbaaz Mir. On the surface, it looks exactly what you're doing while editing, but the links you use are much more complicated code-wise ( Arbaaz Mir  vs  ). Do you see what I mean? If you could adopt this new approach, it'd be a lot more efficient code-wise :)  16:00, March 26, 2014 (UTC)


 * Yeah I usually do Arbaaz Mir but I copied some of the info from another article so it showed up all long. And for the symbol, thanks for the help and I hope I didn't cause any inconvenience. Raghava   Shah  17:36, March 26, 2014 (UTC)


 * No worries, it wasn't a problem :) 17:40, March 26, 2014 (UTC)

Begun/Began
Just some advice. Both terms are correct. Just let me show you these two sentences. "The war began" "The war had begun" I'm sure you can see the difference -- Altaïr 01:13, March 28, 2014 (UTC)


 * The difference is the first sentence is a past simple, and the second sentence a past perfect. Technically, there is a minor difference in meaning between the two. Nesty  Contact me! 05:32, March 28, 2014 (UTC)


 * I fail to see how your examples clarify anything, Altaïr. My problem was not with the difference between "began" (simple past of "to begin") and "begun" (past participle of "to begin").


 * Rather, I was referring to Slate's use of "had began", which, to my knowledge, isn't correct, since "began" does not need an auxiliary. However, I have seen him use this construction a number of times, and, as he's a native speaker (unlike me) I was not a 100% sure about it being wrong. 05:56, March 28, 2014 (UTC)


 * I just gave examples in which way you use begun and then began. Yeah one is simple past and the other is a past particle. I just went with what my wife said since she is British. When she gave the examples I heard how one was wrong. But could I explain that one was 'past particle' and the other 'simple past'? No, lol... I just wanted to clear up confusion by using two examples how you use them. -- Altaïr 08:52, March 28, 2014 (UTC)


 * Alright; sorry if I seemed a bit short with you this morning, I only had a couple hours of sleep and your message felt a bit patronizing (though I'm sure you didn't mean it that way). I study English at a university level, so I'm well aware of the way tenses differ from each other in their use and meaning. I was just confused by Slate's use of "have/had began", because, as far as I know, that's wrong. As I said though, he's a native speaker, so perhaps "have/had begun" is accepted in British English. It could also be colloquial or simply a mistake :P 12:47, March 28, 2014 (UTC)


 * Since I'm being discussed here, I figure I should at least explain myself. I didn't quite know the explicit difference between "begun" and "began". Since I knew both were past tense and "began" stuck in my mind more, I went with that. Now that I know "begun" is used with "have/had", and "began" excludes that, I have more intuition about the subject going forward. All I'm glad is that it hasn't affected a lot of the articles with my writing sense. Slate Vesper (talk) 02:03, March 29, 2014 (UTC)


 * Well, I just wanted to be helpful, though I know that I'm not as helpful as I think I am. I mean my English isn't perfect, so it would be hypocrite to judge others for their English. I just thought that you (Crookandcharlatan), thought one of them wasn't correct at all. While as you already know yourself they're used for different purposes. Anyway it's not a big deal. Like Slate said, no big damage is done and I don't think that with this in general, me here posting on your talk board, more harm was done. So best is to move on, I think. See you around guys. I still have Black Flag to complete! -- Altaïr 02:21, March 29, 2014 (UTC)

Master Templars
Rogers and du Casse are Master Templars when Torres gave them Templar rings. Joker0002710 (talk) 11:25, April 21, 2014 (UTC)Joker0002710


 * Crook, sorry to butt in but Joker, it doesn't mean that they are Master Templars when they are given the rings. :/ -- 11:29, April 21, 2014 (UTC)


 * Joker, the position of "Master Templar" is, at the moment, terribly obscure and there's not really any signifier as to when a Templar becomes a Master Templar. The rings signify that du Casse and Rogers are, at that point, officially part of the Templar Order - it's their induction so to speak (as occurred with Haytham Kenway and Charles Lee in Assassin's Creed III), not a promotion to the position of Master Templar. In fact, the reason we know of five Master Templars at the moment is because they are the only ones that have been explicitly identified as such. 11:33, April 21, 2014 (UTC)

 * I'm free starting Tuesday afternoon, so if you could hold up till then, that'd be great. I presume for the outfit page, I'd need to include every colour variation of the three personas? Do I need to include the hats/hood as well? The only other outfit I can think of off the top of my head are the winter robes Aveline wears in Sequence 8. Unless you'd somehow be able to screenshot Aveline in her nightdress :P Oh yeah, and little Aveline.

 * Well, since you offered I decided to quickly go through all the Liberation memories we have screenshots for already and see if there's anything we could add. The smuggler image is from The Lighthouse memory btw.
 * Taking Care of Business - a screenshot in which you can see Carlos Dominguez's face (it's a bit unfortunate that in all three, his face is turned away from the camera).
 * The Loas Guide You - a screenshot of Aveline freerunning along one of the long branches (this is a very minor one, so if you don't feel like it, feel free to skip).
 * Elegant and Deadly - a screenshot of a tailor shop (I assume we'll need one for the Tailors article?)
 * Trail of Truth - one or more screenshots of Aveline conversing with the slave she rescued in the previous memory (I know you missed out on this one due to crappy replay system).
 * The Secret of the Cenote - a screenshot of the cavern's interior (another one that isn't strictly necessary, but I thought the cavern had quite a few "beautiful" areas and I felt it was a bit of a shame you didn't screenshot any of them. Again, if you don't feel like it, feel free to skip)
 * The Lighthouse - one or more screenshots of Aveline conversing with the smugglers (again, a scene you missed out on due to crappy replay system; this is probably the most important screenshot that is still missing, for me at least :p)
 * Confronting Agaté - a screenshot of the first scene between Aveline and Agaté (the one that ends with him pulling a machete on her; don't know if you missed this one due to crappy replay system, but I would like to have an image of it, if possible)


 * That's it. There's other stuff to be done as well (like a screenshot of the Louisiana Bayou and San Danje), but memory-wise, this is pretty much my wishlist. Thanks again :) 22:57, June 25, 2014 (UTC)

Misspelling
If it is spelled that way, it should have (sic) after it to indicate the deliberate mis-spelling.

Marino312 (talk) 15:18, June 14, 2014 (UTC)


 * I tried to fix it, but it looks weird now. Sorry, I was totally unaware of this rule/practice. 15:26, June 14, 2014 (UTC)


 * Maybe we should just mention it in a footnote...

Marino312 (talk) 15:29, June 14, 2014 (UTC)


 * Another user cleaned it up, so it looks alright now. Thanks for pointing the "sic" thing out for me. 15:31, June 14, 2014 (UTC)


 * No problem. Did you know that Black Flag generates every noun in the game with a capital as a homage to a work about pirates from that era. Technically, every article on this wiki that has dialogue from that game is either wrong or should have Sic after it! Marino312 (talk) 16:46, June 14, 2014 (UTC)


 * Oh, we know about that. There was actually discussion about that shortly after Black Flag's release - to use capitalized nouns or not. I think we even used quotes with capitalized nouns in them for a while, like, the way the subtitles were done.


 * I wasn't really a fan of that tbh, cause it jarred with other quotes that didn't use Black Flag's style, so I'm glad we just decided to get rid of the capitals. They didn't really add anything of value to the wiki itself as a database. Adding "sic" to everything sounds like it would've been a bit of bother too :p 17:06, June 14, 2014 (UTC)

In Bocca al Lupo & Mass Exodus
Man, i change In Bocca al Lupo and Mass Exodus, to make sure people that after In Bocca al Lupo, in chronologically, its continue to Mass Exodus. Why you edit it?

FarhanSF (talk) 05:18, June 29, 2014 (UTC)


 * Hi, sorry about that. Another editor had initially reverted your edit and when you re-added it, I followed suit and reverted it for the same reason, when I should've stopped and thought a bit about it. The interlinking between memories that are from different games isn't done anywhere else on the wiki, so I wasn't entirely sure.


 * Anyways, short of it is, I talked to some other people on the wiki about it and decided that it is useful to link between In Bocca al Lupo and Mass Exodus. I did add the respective games between brackets though, so it's clear to people that these memories come from different games. Sorry for the hassle, I shouldn't have been so quick in undoing your edit. 09:44, June 29, 2014 (UTC)


 * Okay, thanks a lot for revition. Anyway, i found a idea from Call Of Duty Wiki. FarhanSF (talk) 10:56, June 29, 2014 (UTC)


 * I still oppose this, just so you know. Because if we're going with "Let's link all Ezio games together into a neat timeline", Discovery and Revelations should also be linked this way. Thing is - where would you place them? Given how Discovery is between sequences of AC2, and Revelations had to be placed after Da Vinci Disappearance. --<font color="#7575DB" face="OCR A" size="3">Kainzorus Prime <font color="#4C99A6">Walkie-talkie  11:01, June 29, 2014 (UTC)


 * I didn't see the harm in linking these two together since chronologically, they follow up on each other near instantly? I don't know about Discovery and Revelations, but if we're not sure where to place them timeline-wise, I don't think the intergame linking is really necessary. 11:06, June 29, 2014 (UTC)


 * You don't see us linking Rashid's Assassination with The Mentor's Wake, do you, even though it's the exactly same principle. Interlinking the games like that is gonna cause more confusion than anything else, and people will later find more convoluted reasons to add more links like that, like "this appears chronologically, but these 11 other memories appear game-wise, let's add them." --<font color="#7575DB" face="OCR A" size="3">Kainzorus Prime <font color="#4C99A6">Walkie-talkie  11:11, June 29, 2014 (UTC)


 * I'm aware this is total nitpicking, but In Bocca al Lupo and Mass Exodus follow directly onto one another, they literally segue into one another with Minerva's speech. With Al Mualim's Assassination and The Mentor's Wake, there's evidence time has passed (a funeral pyra was built, Malik was sent to Jerusalem, etc.) between these two memories. 11:50, June 29, 2014 (UTC)


 * That is true. But my main point being, we're messing with an established, neat order of joining memories by game, in favor of adding random bits from other games to the chain. This will, eventually, be put to a vote anyway, I'm not gonna go on an edit war over this. --<font color="#7575DB" face="OCR A" size="3">Kainzorus Prime <font color="#4C99A6">Walkie-talkie  11:55, June 29, 2014 (UTC)

Okay, you can add them. After AC1 end, add Information about ACR (also before intro AC1, connect with ACR when Siege) FarhanSF (talk) 11:14, June 29, 2014 (UTC)

I pray to God you realize that after I created the first memory pages, I always listed both the memory that comes after game-wise and the memory that comes after chronologically. This was done from the start. -- 11:19, June 29, 2014 (UTC)

Just wanted to say congratulations for being part of this community for a full year. You've been a great editor, and a nice guy to have around, so I hope you can stick around a while longer. :) -- 19:17, July 26, 2014 (UTC)


 * Thanks Crims; when I read this yesterday I was actually in a really foul mood, but your message cheered me up a bit. I'm not planning on leaving any time soon, that's for sure :3 20:57, July 27, 2014 (UTC)

Encyclopedia dates
Hi Crook, would you be able to tell me if the third edition of the Encyclopedia places any dates on the "Tainted Blood" and "Ever a Splinter" memories? And does it also give any date for when Giovanni Borgia brought the Crystal Skull back to Bombastus? -- 11:42, July 29, 2014 (UTC)

You left the IRC before I read any of what you said, but yes, that is indeed of help to me, since '1527' was not given as a date in Project Legacy. Thank you. -- 12:14, July 29, 2014 (UTC)

Does the Encyclopedia also shed some further light now on Claudia leaving the Rosa in Fiora in 1504 for Florence yet appearing there again in 1506 in The Da Vinci Disappearance? -- 15:54, August 1, 2014 (UTC)


 * It does not, I'm afraid. This is the only thing they give me regarding Claudia's post-Brotherhood activities (hardly surprising, considering the Da Vinci Disappearance isn't even mentioned in Ezio's biography; it only appears in Leonardo's and the Renaissance bit of the storyline overview):


 * "Claudia retired as owner of the Rosa in Fiore after being assaulted in 1504, but continued in her capacity as an Assassin, acting as an advisor to her brother Ezio."


 * Shouldn't we mention this discrepancy in her article somewhere? Perhaps in the Trivia section? 16:24, August 1, 2014 (UTC)

Yes, we should indeed. Kind of surprised me to see that it isn't yet, I thought I had done that already...

By the way, be careful not to use the rollback tool for edits out of good faith; those editors deserve to know what they did wrong. Reserve the rollback tool for vandalism mostly. -- 08:33, August 3, 2014 (UTC)


 * Yeah sorry; I kind of wanted to just try it out and that seemed like an okay edit for it. If the user tries again, I'll explain myself properly :s 08:36, August 3, 2014 (UTC)

Hey, do you think you can send me that entry for Ranjit Singh from the Encyclopedia again? Or at least, the one where it talks about India falling under Templar rule. I can't find your email anymore. -- 12:03, August 8, 2014 (UTC)

I'm afraid I am, and I also did not know what to look for. Would you also be able to check if Anna and Nadya are called Orelov or Orelova? And is there anything else you found in the Encyclopedia that wasn't revealed in any of the other media, so I can add it to the Timeline? -- 12:22, August 8, 2014 (UTC)

And what I REALLY desperately need from you now, is an account of the events between December 1503 and March 1507. From the Renaissance sections, Ezio's, Machiavelli's or Leonardo's entry. There is an error in that the Brotherhood novel says that Ezio hid the Apple in June 1505, while the game says he hid it in 1506. I'll need to determine what's the chronological ladder of events, and I do not have my own Encyclopedia with me now... -- 13:20, August 8, 2014 (UTC)

Corrected spelling/grammar
Synch-Nexus is hyphenated in AC Revelations subtitles.

Yes, the whole one time, when Clay first says it. Then it loses the hyphen when Desmond does, -and- when Clay says it again.

To answer your previous question - right click, show background image. Save. Profit.

Didn't you want me to render some of the AC4MP characters, like the ones the other guy uploaded today? Also, your bureau icon disappeared from your page. Which is odd, since Sima disabled the rampaging deletion bot sometime ago. --<font color="#7575DB" face="OCR A" size="4">Kainzorus Prime <font color="#7575DB" size="6">⚜  <font color="#4C99A6">Walkie-talkie  15:00, September 8, 2014 (UTC)


 * Hmm, I don't really understand... I'd have to switch languages first cause stuff is displayed in Dutch here - which I also don't know to do >.<


 * Yes, Maxattac rather clumsily cut out the Guild of Rogues characters from the images I'd asked you to render some time ago. That was actually next on my to-do list after Aveline - I also had a Templar Ring to render, but you'd probably be able to do that faster too (if you're interested, here's the link: store.ubiworkshop.com). Also, I don't have a bureau icon yet; Slate added the template to my userpage, so I haven't had time to decide on something. I'm not even sure what I'd use tbh.


 * Fyi, the render of Caroline is a bit choppy? Is that because it was a jpg file?. I might be able to fix it so the edges look less pixelly. 15:29, September 8, 2014 (UTC)


 * Might be because I just highlighted the gray background and inverted selection, rather than do a manual cut-out.

Re: Liberation
I can understand why you'd take that stance for ease of editing, though to be honest, I took exactly the opposite approach when considering the game's story; unless it transpired inside one of the Citizen E scenes, I took a hint from the Assassin's Creed itself and considered nothing to be true, hehe. ;-)

On a more serious note, given that at least some of the gameplay mechanics were clearly altered by Abstergo (reducing the notoriety of the Assassin and Lady personas by bribing corrupt officials and murdering innocent witnesses, respectively) and never returned to whatever their true state was, I figured if nothing else, a warning that Liberation-based information might be inaccurate would be the least we could do. Still, it sounds like you've already had this discussion, so for now I'll bow to your intentions instead. Captain J (talk) 03:32, September 21, 2014 (UTC)
