Sourcing
In addition, there is no need to remove text from text bubbles when making images from comic pages; a big white empty bubble isn't necessarily preferable. -- 08:18, September 7, 2017 (UTC)
 * My apologises for that. I will make the changes as soon as possible. XOdeyssusx (talk) 08:51, September 7, 2017 (UTC)

Thanks for fixing this! Two more things: do try to refrain from using entire pages as images, and there's nothing wrong with cutting out some blank space from a panel if it makes for a clearer image. -- 07:57, September 8, 2017 (UTC)
 * I'll take note of that. Thanks for the help! XOdeyssusx (talk) 08:31, September 8, 2017 (UTC)

XOdeyssusx, you don't know how much I appreciate you uploading the images to the weapon articles I'm creating, saving me so much trouble. However, even though you are providing the most important part of each image sourcing: the licensing, you can't neglect the others either. This includes the Attention!, a note explaining how you have edited the image; the source, that is which game even if it is obvious; the author, which is usually Ubisoft; and the description, which is just what it is. Sol Pacificus (Cyfiero) 06:23, October 5, 2017 (UTC)
 * I'll keep that in mind. XOdeyssusx (talk) 07:16, October 5, 2017 (UTC)

Looking through the latest images uploaded here, I'm a bit confused on your sourcing. The infobox is correct and sourcing ArtStations is all good, but why do you link to the jpg image itself instead of the post? For example, for this Hippodrome concept work, instead of linking here, you link here. Sourcing the jpg alone makes it harder to see the artist's profile and any other AC works they have, as the viewer will have to search "[artist] + ArtStation" instead of clicking the hyperlinked name on the right sidebar. -- Darman  ( talk ) 17:16, April 7, 2018 (UTC)
 * Hey there Darman, apologies for the late reply. Previously, I was kind of following Bovaffe's method of sourcing those images and have not being paying much attention to those links. Thanks for bringing this to my attention, I will go ahead and much the changes to the links. Thank you. XOdeyssusx (talk) 02:03, April 8, 2018 (UTC)
 * XOdeyssusx, you're not late. Being in completely different timezones, this delay is inevitable. I'm sorry for sounding blunt. I only meant to provide a tip, though my "wording" could have been better. You've great dedication to uploading images; keep up the work! -- Darman  ( talk ) 03:45, April 8, 2018 (UTC)

Origins link
I don't know whether this is due to editing in visual mode or whether you're unaware, but I've noticed multiple times where you've tried to link Assassin's Creed: Origins to a page, it appears that you've added Origins twice into the link seperated with a vertical divider, only for the second one to be italicized inside the link, for example:

Assassin's Creed: Origins

It would be much easier to add the following in source mode:

Assassin's Creed: Origins

If this is a case of using visual mode, it would be more beneficial to consider using the source mode as it helps to avoid implementing unnecessary code or needless spacing to links. Slate Vesper (talk) 01:12, November 12, 2017 (UTC)


 * Hmm, damn I wasn't aware of those errors. I've been using classic editor and source for most of the articles though, so I have no idea why. But I will keep note of those, thanks. XOdeyssusx (talk) 01:17, November 12, 2017 (UTC)

Need help?
Heya, it's nice to see new editors around here. I used to be like you some few years ago and kinda helped out in filling up Assassin's Creed: Syndicate when it came out. I know it gets kind of exhausting some times, so I gotta ask. Do you need help in filling out the main pages? I'm still working on the AC:Heresy information but if I got the extra time, maybe I can assist in some way, like revamping or reviewing formats? Keep up the good work, btw! Misphantom (talk) 06:49, December 2, 2017 (UTC)


 * Hey there Misphantom. I'm doing my best to contribute whenever I can, given the lack of contributers right now. So, it will be really great if you can help out whatever you could. That will be really much appreciated! Thanks :D XOdeyssusx (talk) 07:04, December 2, 2017 (UTC)
 * Sure, mate! I was wondering though, whether you play on the PC? Screenshots are really needed to complete character profiles and maybe if you could spare some time? But it's ok if you're too busy... Misphantom (talk) 07:34, December 2, 2017 (UTC)
 * Yes, I play the game on PC. Right now, screenshots is currently not one of my priority lists, given how many of the character profiles are also in need of expansion. I'm also currently busy with real life commitments so my focus would probably be on the others instead. But my holidays is coming up soon, so I will probably have more time do those I suppose. XOdeyssusx (talk) 07:43, December 2, 2017 (UTC)
 * Thanks mate. But if I do find another source (usually MadeinMasyaf is our screenshot source), I'll let you know. Kudos! Misphantom (talk) 07:58, December 2, 2017 (UTC)

Sekhmet and Letopolis
I think your timeframe is off. I believe how it went was years ago the city was dedicated to Sekhmet but there was a drought so they priest sacrificed themselves along with the city in return for better Nile flooding and it was buried beneath the sand. Years later, possibly decades or centuries, Taharqa decided to reclaim the city by digging it out and rededicating it to Horus. Lacrossedeamon (talk) 11:36, April 7, 2018 (UTC)


 * I'm not really sure what you meant by timeframe, since no proper time period was given as to when the priests did the invocation). But based the memory dialogue, its seem more likely that the priests considered Taharqa's act as an of sacrilege, thus they made the invocation only recently, not just to sacrifice the city to Sekhmet in exchange for the nile, but also as a message to Taharqa, but replacing Sekhmet with Horus. As such, I dont think the invocation takes place hundred years prior. XOdeyssusx (talk) 12:01, April 7, 2018 (UTC)


 * The town crier Ramessu says things are being reclaimed from 'the old world' while Bayek says the incident with the wab priest happened 'so long ago'. Furthermore he says that to the wab priest it 'would be sacrilege'. The use of the subjunctive mood indicates to me that the priests were dead before Taharqa's time. Lacrossedeamon (talk) 12:27, April 7, 2018 (UTC)


 * Hmm, now that you have said it, I think your explanation makes a very good point. And it makes no sense the city would be largely covered by the desert if the invocation happened a few years prior to 48 BCE. Since there's no time period given, its kinda hard to make out which timeframe it happened. Anyway, if you wish to make the changes to the respective articles, go on ahead. Thanks for bringing this up. XOdeyssusx (talk) 12:51, April 7, 2018 (UTC)


 * I edited the Sekhmet page but it might need some cleaning up; I’m not the best writer. Another big reference in the game are the scrolls found in the Old Library under the Temple of Horus which is also where I got the info about Maahes. Also of note, Bayek seems to reference the priests' invocation during Taharqa's death scene saying that the desert winds will blow the sands back in reclaiming Letopolis in response to Taharqa claiming he will be remember as a builder of cities.

Gentes Page
Hey I made a gentes category to fall under families and moving all the Roman gentes into that instead of the families category. Are you fine with that? Lacrossedeamon (talk) 16:14, June 24, 2018 (UTC)
 * Sure go on ahead. XOdeyssusx (talk) 16:18, June 24, 2018 (UTC)

Superfluous information
I think that the page of Caesarion does not need to mark Species: Human at Biographical information. It is superfluous. A.gao.96  11:37, July 12, 2018 (UTC)
 * Whilst we respect your view that the information is superfluous, it is there for a reason. With the character base expanding with each new release, we have a variety of new human and isu characters making appearances. There needs to be a quick and easy way to advise readers as to the species of a given chracter, and the infobox is the place to do that. That is why, going forward, we are including a character's species in the infobox. --Jasca Ducato (talk | contributions) 08:55, July 12, 2018 (UTC)

How we do for Sage or individuals with a high rate of Isu DNA as Desmond, Arno or Jeanne d'Arc? Isu-human hybrids as Adam and Eve? If an individuals used a fragment of eden or have eagle vision could count to have Isu DNA?Francesco75 (talk) 09:03, July 12, 2018 (UTC)
 * Sages are 100% human, but I have taken to listing each as "Human (Sage)". As for Adam and Eve – the only known hybrids to date – their articles do not yet contain infoboxes, but if they did we would list them as "Hybrid". --Jasca Ducato (talk | contributions) 09:07, July 12, 2018 (UTC)

Hello
How is the famous xOdeyssusx? Daryurian ( The Mighty Turian ) 09:03, September 10, 2018 (UTC)
 * I'm doing fine so far, though quite busy with internship. How about you? XD

P.S I'm not as famous as Cyfiero :P XOdeyssusx (talk) 12:19, September 10, 2018 (UTC)


 * Lol you are far too humble and I am good lol. Daryurian ( The Mighty Turian ) 14:13, September 10, 2018 (UTC)

Fat Homer's ethnicity
I didn't add ethnicity-category, 'cause even though it's an 'Egyptian' area, 'Homer' is a Greek name. What's your reason for thinking him to be Ethnic Egyptian? (Sorry if too blunt. Just curious.) Sadelyrate (siniath) 12:15, September 23, 2018 (UTC)
 * Though I agree that Homer is a Greek name, the name 'Fat Homer' itself seems more like a nickname rather than his actual name. As such, I believe he should be categorised under the "Unidentified Individuals" category. Regarding his ethnicity, I just assumed he's an Ethnic Egyptian, since as far as I recall, his model is that of an Egyptian, but it's wrong of me to assume that. Until that is confirmed, the Ethnic Egyptian category can be removed and added back in if anyone is able to get an image of that. Apologise for that. XOdeyssusx (talk) 12:24, September 23, 2018 (UTC)
 * Agreed on the nickname. Just dug up some playthrough videos featuring the side quest (The Hungry River - about to revise that page), and seems like Fat Homer can be barely told apart from the bandits he leads... but those bandits look like Greek soldiers, rather than their Egyptian counterparts. No need to apologize, imo. We're all here together. :) Sadelyrate (siniath) 12:39, September 23, 2018 (UTC)

Talos the Stone Fist
Hey I saw you added nationality and ethnic categories for him. I had previously deleted them since the description changes game to game. Mine says he’s from Persia while on various YT videos I’ve also seen it say Mykonos and Argos. I think I was hasty in deleting the nationality cat since he is in Greece but I’m going to ethnicity cat again as unless it says in the novel there is no canon ethnicity for him. Lacrossedeamon (talk) 01:10, October 3, 2018 (UTC)
 * Ah I must have missed out the part regarding the ethnicity part. I really mixed about this though since my game state his from, which is a Greek colony. If I am correct, there are a number of Greek colonies which had been assimilated into the Achaemenid Empire, which may be why they give his origin as being from Persia. I highly doubt the novel are going to include details in regards to the mercenaries, in addition to their ethnicity and nationality. Either way, I hate that Ubisoft made their place of origins randomized which gives us wikia such a tough time of editing. My apologies that you had to remove the category again. :/ XOdeyssusx (talk) 01:20, October 3, 2018 (UTC)

Description of Farm in Flames
Hey Odeyssus, I saw you added the description to Farm in Flames, are you sure that is correct? As that's the description of Old Friends, Old Problems. Does Farm in Flames have the exact same description? I can say from experience that that description was used for Old Friends, Old Problems in my game, but haven't gotten the quest Farm in Flames myself as i had done the objective (destroying the farm) beforehand and the quest was auto-completed. Kennyannydenny (talk) 13:38, November 1, 2018 (UTC)
 * Hey Kenny, thanks for letting me know the issue here. Yes, it looks like I made a mistake regarding the description, which is indeed for the Old Friends, Old Problems quest. I'mma get around changing the description for the Farm in Flames quest. Apologises for the confusion XD XOdeyssusx (talk) 13:43, November 1, 2018 (UTC)
 * Haha no probs, we're all human. Thanks for fixing it! Kennyannydenny (talk) 13:45, November 1, 2018 (UTC)

Tombs in navboxes
Hi, I disagree with moving tombs from the ACODMemories navbox to the ACOD navbox. reason being is the ACOD navbox is a mess really, and if we added all the tombs it would just be too big and be messier than it is. thats why i think they should stay where they are in the ACODMemories navbox. Boofhead185 (talk) 04:45, November 21, 2018 (UTC)
 * I'm inclined to agree that ACODMemories is also messy as well and needs a lot of rearranging. But they are called memories for a reason, while the tombs are not. Tombs do not have a dialog unlike those in Origins(even though the dialogues are just "Ancient Writings from the Old Kingdom) and they are simply locations. Putting them in the memories box makes no sense to me. XOdeyssusx (talk) 04:52, November 21, 2018 (UTC)
 * I'd like to add that technically the Papyrus Puzzles and Ainigmata Ostraka are also not memories (nor classified as such in game unlike the Nostradamus Enigmas) but just document collections.Lacrossedeamon (talk) 05:18, November 21, 2018 (UTC)

re: The Escapists Spy
Hi XOdeyssusx, I think Garcia's page may need to be either deleted or reformatted to a general page (somehow). I just finished playing The Escapists and my spy was Acosta. Now not only do we have different names between just us two, but when I replayed it, the name changed again. This seems to occur with every Corrupt Merchant, Executioner, etc., unless they're targets like Eugenius, Ramírez, etc. As it's impossible to dig into the code and find the list of names Ubi used, what about an Inquisition Spy page? -- Darman  ( talk ) 07:20, November 27, 2018 (UTC)
 * Jeez this is like the mercenary issue in Assassin's Creed: Odyssey all over again >.> Yeah that would be a better idea. We could indicate the random names and etc in the Trivia section. Please go ahead and rename it. XOdeyssusx (talk) 07:29, November 27, 2018 (UTC)
 * Yeah all target names of non main missions or rift events are randomly generated. Lacrossedeamon (talk) 07:47, November 27, 2018 (UTC)

Description
I'll quote Sol Pacificus concerning this:

"If you just write "description", it suggests that it's a description given in a video game (which is what it is). What is the source of the description in-universe?

For further clarification, "description" by itself isn't a proper attribution and only a little better than attributing a quote to "quote". Of course, it's a description, but described by whom or what? Absent this information, readers will assume that it refers to a description provided in a video game, i.e. a game's description, because that is the only thing it can mean without context, and hence it would be OOU." Sadelyrate (siniath) 09:25, December 6, 2018 (UTC)
 * Well, I was not made aware of this when this was how I laid out several articles previously, but then. I wasn't sure how to write it down appropriately. Then perhaps'In-game description about 'item'? Or unless you have a better suggestion about writing in IU.

And also, I would really appreciate if you could stop removing the information entirely based on your perspective of not knowing where the information comes from. I gave my source, even though I understand the problem lies with what you stated above. Thank you.XOdeyssusx (talk) 11:39, December 6, 2018 (UTC)
