Greetings 2.0
Yes, I understand. I only meant it would not have become so great without D. Cello, he was as you say an important factor in this wiki's history.

Is it true you lost three others this week, along with Cello? Btw, noticed you archived everything else, I hope I didn't mess that up or something by posting a new message.

 * Yes, AssassinRome and Subject 16* were demoted and Nostalgia AC was forced to leave due to personal problems. We gotta pimp it up a bit again... -- Master Sima Yi 07:45, April 4, 2012 (UTC)


 * Darn, that leaves just the eight of you. Agh, I've got to hold myself back... With the sudden shortage of editors, I want to rush in and become a regular editor here... Much as I'd like to I can't, my plate is full handling the Call of Juarez Wiki and RL stuff... I can tell you this, if AC outlives Call of Juarez and they are still great games like the first three... you probably won't be able to get rid of me :P
 * Back on the serious side though, really, if there's anything I can do to help just let me know :)

Hello mentor.

I have a (at least I think so) simple question. I'm not new to the wiki at all, but it's only very recently Iv'e began to edit stuff when I see somethng is wrong or something is needed and so on. My question is, how do you "make a word or sentence a link?". for example, if a sentence containing the name "Rodrigo Borgia" needs editing, and thus not having Rodrigo Borgia at the same spot, how do I make it so that if someone clicks the "Rodrigo Borgia" I typed, it automaticly takes them to the article with information about him? Same thing for sentences, I want to be able to make certain words, names or sentences link to the articles about them, how do i do that?

I hope I was clear enough, thank you for your time, mentor.Superfritiof851 16:32, April 5, 2012 (UTC)

If I might intervene here... Superfritiof851, to link a mention of say, Ezio Auditore to his article page when in editing mode, go up to the toolbars above the editing box. You should see boxes that are 'Bold 'B' and italic 'i, directly to the right is another button that looks like a chain. Highlight the text you want to link, in this case 'Ezio Auditore', click that button and a box will appear with the targeted article page and you can even edit how the linked text appears.

Afterwards, the bit o' text you linked should appear like this. If you did something wrong and the page it tries to access does not exist, it will appear as a red link.

Monobook
Hey Sima, I created that monobook theme. The code can be found at User:Godisme/monobook.css. I've tested it around the site and it works quite well aside from some minor text run overs on the mainpage due to the layout of this site being designed around the wikia skin and not monobook. I gave the wiki a large content area and used the color scheme and background of the wikia skin and went with a more rounded look for the overall feel. Let me know what you like and if you want anything changed. Also, once finished, if you could give us a testimonial, it would be much appreciated. Thanks --GodPray21:01, April 5, 2012 (UTC)


 * Looks fluid! Large improvement. Thanks for the effort! And sure, I will give that testimonial when I have the time, if you could tell me where. -- Master Sima Yi 21:29, April 5, 2012 (UTC)


 * Just write it here if you could. I'm still organizing our testimonials page. Glad you like it. --GodPray21:44, April 5, 2012 (UTC)


 * Well, I wouldn't really know what to write in it. Could you direct me to other testimonials or the testimonials page once it's finished? -- Master Sima Yi 21:48, April 5, 2012 (UTC)


 * Sure thing, we just have one so far, here w:c:monobook:Monobook Wiki:Testimonials--GodPray22:02, April 5, 2012 (UTC)


 * Will look into that tomorrow, gotta go sleep now! Elchzard told me RansomTime is working on the looks now so I'll be looking forward to that as well. :) -- Master Sima Yi 22:15, April 5, 2012 (UTC)

Faction Template
Just thought I'd let you know about something that needs changing that I don't think I can do myself. In the templates for factions, such as the Assassins or Mercenaries, one of the sections is "Leaders Title", but it should be "Leader's Title", since it's possession. Howling Snail 22:22, April 5, 2012 (UTC)


 * Done. -- Master Sima Yi 07:46, April 6, 2012 (UTC)

Maria in Revelations
Hello, in Revelations (game), Maria Auditore is mentioned during the game but every time I enter it into the source, it gets edited back to normal. Why is that? (Msaka33 03:38, April 7, 2012 (UTC)) 


 * What? -- Master Sima Yi 20:38, April 7, 2012 (UTC)

Message from Neo
Hey MSY

It's pretty sad without Cello here (lets hope someone brings him back!) but I think you will be as great all the same! ;) Neo out!


 * It's not much different, if I may say so. He isn't gonna come back though, I still keep in contact with him. -- Master Sima Yi 20:38, April 7, 2012 (UTC)

User boxes?
Hey Sima

How do you get the userboxes that you have on your front page of your profile. Is it possible for someon like me to get them? If so please tell me in my talk page!

Neo Out


 * Take a look at Category:Userboxes. I think that's the one, but I can't check to be certain because the computer I am currently on is pretty shit. And please sign your posts with ~ . -- Master Sima Yi 20:38, April 7, 2012 (UTC)

Master Sima now D Cello has left are now the mentore of the wiki2.216.25.41 22:48, April 7, 2012 (UTC)

Just curious I'm really intrested in joining the wiki and i noticed at sign up it needs an email address. If I sign up will any notifications or anything be mentioned on social networking sites


 * Nope! -- Master Sima Yi 08:06, April 12, 2012 (UTC)

News Post
Just a heads-up. Blaidd and Teller also wanted to do the newspost for two reasons. First, they thought you would be out for long and second, Vatsa failed to lock the comments for the departure blog, and people were already posting screenshots and speculation in it. Twelve asked for permission from those two and Blaidd and Teller agreed, since the departure blogpost was filling up with irrelevant stuff. ''EDIT: My bad, I failed to get that conversation about the lock. But the other points still stand. Sorry Vatsa. :)'' 01:53, April 8, 2012 (UTC)


 * We were under the impression that you would not be back until Monday, by which time it'd be a bit too late to post this news; we wanted it out there as fast as possible. I was unable to view the screenshots and Teller was busy with something, so that only left 12; no else was online. 12 also didn't do it by himself, as well as having discussed it among Teller and I, I helped him with how to lay it out, such as the Staff emblem, sources, and date. Also keeping it professional with few smileys, and all that jazz. So 12 didn't go ahead and just make it without consulting anyone. In the absence of you and Vatsa, we did what we could. -- 02:39, April 8, 2012 (UTC)


 * Failure? We never agreed to lock that blog. Also, last I remember Staff were the one's allowed to make a news blog, not sure why 12 required permission to post a news blog.. --Vatsa ( talk • Gentek ) 03:39, April 8, 2012 (UTC)


 * I was only asking for an explanation, not making an accusation. And Vatsa: That wasn't my point. -- Master Sima Yi 17:51, April 8, 2012 (UTC)

IRC Ban?
Hey Sima!

I've been on the wiki for a while and I tried to get onto the IRC today but it says that I am banned... Please get back to me at the earliest convenience to explain if I did something or if it's just a mistake.

Thank you

Ccat61100 00:41, April 9, 2012 (UTC)


 * You aren't in the banlist, it seems. Sorry for the late reply. -- Master Sima Yi 08:01, April 12, 2012 (UTC)


 * I don't want to be a bother but it says i am banned again... Ccat61100 03:36, April 23, 2012 (UTC)


 * Try now. -- Master Sima Yi 05:48, April 23, 2012 (UTC)

WIki Description
Hello there Sima, this is probably not of great importance to you right now but I noticed that in the description of this wiki when I open it in a new tab it only says it has info for AC, II, B, and R. You might not really care, but I thought I'd let you know.  XV DEaD ShOT xV  Leave me a message!  19:35, April 12, 2012 (UTC)


 * Will look into it. ;) -- Master Sima Yi 19:36, April 12, 2012 (UTC)

Hello

i was wanting ti know how i go about create a new topic in the time talk page without it overlapping someone else work thanks

Assassin80 00:56, April 13, 2012 (UTC)

Timeline
On the Timeline page in the Project Members area D.Cello's name remains I thought I'd point this out to you and

leave you to decide whether or not to remove it

I personally would leave it in but thats just me

Also its the 2 year anniversary of the Timeline Project today.

P.S: Can you remind me how to create a Sandbox.

P.S.S I believe I momentarily screwed up your talk page sorry.

Lucan 07 Talk 06:18, April 13, 2012 (UTC)


 * Thanks for notifying me. I think it'd better to remove him from there to avoid confusion, and other people who are no longer active. -- Master Sima Yi 06:38, April 13, 2012 (UTC)
 * True. Lucan  07 Talk 06:41, April 13, 2012 (UTC)

Behavior
Sorry about that, but I rarely use filth (for proof check my other wiki accounts) unless I am super pissed or annoyed but even then I say something like this : "Shut the __ up" I don't say the exact words when I insult someone. But the people on this wiki that force me to use such words are certain anons who think they are so high and mighty. They need to learn some respect and stop creating useless arguments about the games faults. I will try to remain unaggressive like in my other accounts IF the others don't tick me off.Fairy Tail Grand Master 12:26, April 13, 2012 (UTC)

Just remain civilized all the time. No need to lower yourself to their level. Trolls always want you to get angry. Just stand above them and they will go. Rudeness and aggressiveness will always result in arguments on here. -- Master Sima Yi 14:55, April 13, 2012 (UTC)

OK-Fairy Tail Grand Master 15:11, April 13, 2012 (UTC)

Faction Infobox
Sorry to bother you again, but there is a mistake in the faction infobox when utilizing the word "organization". It has the z as an s and that is incorrect. I would fix it myself, but I am no good at the source code, and wasn't sure if it was permissable for me to do it. Regards,  XV DEaD ShOT xV  Leave me a message!  01:19, April 14, 2012 (UTC)


 * Will look into it. -- Master Sima Yi 10:34, April 14, 2012 (UTC)

Abstergo Files
Hey Sima, I managed to get all the other images from all 20 Abstergo Dossiers, but I'm not sure how to add them to the page because the images aren't in a gallery or anything. Could you help me out? Arcemz 03:10, April 14, 2012 (UTC)Arcemz


 * You have to add them in source mode. Press the "Source" button at the top of the editing screen when editing and everything will turn into code. Then you will see . You need to add the image names between them. ;) Should be pretty self-explanatory. -- Master Sima Yi 10:34, April 14, 2012 (UTC)


 * Yep, got it. Thanks Sima. Arcemz 10:49, April 14, 2012 (UTC)Arcemz

Revamping AC: Multiplayer Rearmed
Hello Master Sima Yi,

I'm not that familiar with editing the wikia, but I'm going to try my hand at revamping the Assassin's Creed: Multiplayer Rearmed page, so I'm sorry if it looks crappy for the next few days. I'll alert you when I'm finished and you can look it over and tell me what else I need to do, if you're not too busy.

Thanks!

Neurotoxiny 18:41, April 15, 2012 (UTC)


 * That shouldn't be a problem. :) -- Master Sima Yi 18:43, April 15, 2012 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the super quick response Master Sima Yi! Just letting you know, I've started the revamp, and I've told Vatsa1708 about article's revamp. :D

AC Fanon wiki?
Hi Sima. I was wondering if you have seen this page? http://assassinscreedfanon.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page. I'm a bit curious if it's official or not. ThomasG2103 (Talk) 17:03, April 17, 2012 (UTC)


 * Nope, it's not. We have fanon here on our wiki. -- Master Sima Yi 17:13, April 17, 2012 (UTC)

Spell check
Master Sima, I was wondering if you and Vatsa are going to include a spell check in the wiki, such as when someone is editing an article, they will figure out that they have made a spelling mistake. It would, in my opinion, improve the quality of the wiki as a whole, and would make everyones work easier. KaiserWilhelmVIII 18:07, April 17, 2012 (UTC)


 * We can't do that on just this wiki, Wikia will have to do that on all its wikis. So I guess not... -- Master Sima Yi 18:11, April 17, 2012 (UTC)


 * I see. Well, back to grammar correction and spelling clean up. KaiserWilhelmVIII 18:37, April 17, 2012 (UTC)

Fanon
hello i have just created a fanon Logan Taylor i wonder if you would have the time to read it and fix it


 * TheSt0ryTeller and Amnestyyy are two active staff members who do those tasks. ;) -- Master Sima Yi 21:07, April 17, 2012 (UTC)

Keeper of the Creed
I would like to join the Keeper of the Creed WikiProject, but I didn't understand the instructions about how to join. Could you clear them up for me? Thanks. Ezio Auditore 22:46, April 19, 2012 (UTC)


 * Just add your name to the list and start working on the project's respective articles. :) -- Master Sima Yi 23:01, April 19, 2012 (UTC)

Badgehunting is against the rules and continued attempts to do so will see you warned and then banned. I suggest you do not continue editing in the sole interest of badges any more. I'm sure Sima can back me up on this. Slate Vesper 22:39, April 21, 2012 (UTC)

Right, sorry, thanks for the warning.Assassin75ibn 22:42, April 21, 2012 (UTC)Assassin75ibn

Image
Hi. I have a question about images. I uploaded an image of TP Link for my Fanon since its a crossover, but I was wondering if it was acceptable. If not, I'll remove it.

Thanks! Aegis Runestone 22:46, April 24, 2012 (UTC)


 * Nesty posted a message on your talk page about sourcing your image. The picture is acceptable but as she said, you need to source your image otherwise I will delete it. -- Master Sima Yi 06:37, April 25, 2012 (UTC)


 * I sourced it to the best of my ability. Is there anything I'm missing? Aegis Runestone 23:18, April 25, 2012 (UTC)


 * I think you can just fill the name of the game it is from instead of the name of the Wiki and put the developer as the author. But it's pretty late for me here so I may not be all there. -- Master Sima Yi 23:23, April 25, 2012 (UTC)


 * I did that. Does that work? Aegis Runestone 23:29, April 26, 2012 (UTC)


 * Yeah, maybe some links. -- Master Sima Yi 08:20, April 27, 2012 (UTC)


 * Links? What would I link to, for example? Aegis Runestone 15:47, April 27, 2012 (UTC)


 * The Wikipedia articles for the game and the developer. ;) -- Master Sima Yi 15:52, April 27, 2012 (UTC)

Hey
I was Wondering if you could delet my useless blog post. thanks willaca here (talk to me)  06:58, April 27, 2012 (UTC)


 * What blog? -- Master Sima Yi 08:20, April 27, 2012 (UTC)
 * All of them, he's become on admin on some kind of Archie Comics Sonic Wikia and thinks that the blogs are embarrassing ... and I can see why . Lucan  07 Talk 09:20, April 27, 2012 (UTC)


 * The past cannot be erased. And I won't delete them for that purpose either. Everything you do is baggage you pick up and have to drag with you. -- Master Sima Yi 09:40, April 27, 2012 (UTC)

Ezio-Clay
Hey there again Sima, I was just wondering how Ezio could have multiple illegitimate children. Doesn't the animus go to the memories of the next in the bloodline when they are born? I'm quite sure Ezio did not have an affair, so I don't know how this could happen. Regards,  XV DEaD ShOT xV  Leave me a message!  19:41, April 27, 2012 (UTC)


 * Clay is a descendant of Ezio but had access to far less memories than Desmond did, thus meaning Ezio had a child born some time before 1512. The Animus shows the genetic memory of the user's ancestors. Because Desmond isn't descended from that illegitimate child but from Flavia, Desmond could have been able to watch all of Ezio's memories up until the conception of Flavia. -- Master Sima Yi 19:47, April 27, 2012 (UTC)

Ohhhh okay. Thank you for convincing my suspicion. Regards,  XV DEaD ShOT xV  Leave me a message!  19:48, April 27, 2012 (UTC)


 * Forgot to mention that Clay having access to less of Ezio's memories is mentioned in Clay's database entry in Revelations. -- Master Sima Yi 19:51, April 27, 2012 (UTC)

Facebook and Fanon
Sima, this has been on my mind for a while, and I figured it would sort itself out after some time had passed, but it hasn't.

Whenever I've looked on the official AC Wiki Facebook page, no mention to the emergence of Fanon on here has been mentioned by Steen, seeing as it's his role to do that.

I would have figured that since it's been popular by the users here and has brought about Featured Fanons and a news post about it, it would have been something worthwhile to put on Twitter and Facebook, in order to bring more editors here if they'd like to add their stories.

Could you maybe make mention of it to him, seeing as the two of you are going to be in the podcast with Steen, Loomer, Esco and Jeffery Yohalem? Slate Vesper 01:38, April 28, 2012 (UTC)


 * I'll see what I can do. May be a bit too late to give it away as news though. -- Master Sima Yi 10:13, April 28, 2012 (UTC)


 * Actually Slate, I made mention of it at the beginning of the month on this post. It may have only been a subtle mention, but it's there. The Fanon section is only a feature here on the wiki, so over publicizing it may not be the best thing to do. After all, we are first and foremost an online encyclopedia, we mustn't let the fanon section eclipse that - which it easily could if over publicized. All you have to do is look at the recent feed these days. Where does a hefty bulk of the activity lie? While I love seeing so much creativity about, we must be aware that if a section like this becomes too large it would warrant it's own wiki. -- ☘ Sikksta ☘  ➜ ☎Talk☎  10:53, April 28, 2012 (UTC)


 * Ah I see, thanks for clarifying that. I must not have seen it in the feed since it skipped from late March to the 21st of April, hiding it from view. Slate Vesper 17:03, April 28, 2012 (UTC)

question
I am new here,but should you explain me why every uploaded pic of mine got deleted?

Regards

Simon


 * Because your images are unsourced. We have a sourcing and image policy. You gotta source your images or they will get deleted. ;) We constantly have an overload of images coming in so it's difficult to keep track of them all. -- Master Sima Yi 12:21, April 28, 2012 (UTC)


 * Thanks,usually i screen images from my own gameplay,1 hour ago i uploaded pic of Ezio in La Rosa Colta and put description under it ,and i uploaded in Ezio's page but got deleted..


 * Anyway,thanks again :P

Adam
Hey Sima, I'm a little confused when it comes to Adam.

How could he be a genetic hybrid of the First Civilization and humanity if he and Eve stole the Apple and rebelled against them, causing the uprising between them and humans?

If he was the one to start the war between them, then that would mean the catastrophe hadn't already happened. If that's true, then wouldn't the First Civilization have children after that, which would imply that he didn't have their genes in his veins?

If this was after the war though, does that mean that Adam and Eve's rebellion failed? Slate Vesper 23:00, April 28, 2012 (UTC)


 * I don't really understand the logic behind your questions, but I'll try to clear it up. Adam and Eve were hybrids of humans and the First Civilization, though I don't think the First Civilization knew or recognized them as such so they were used as slaves regardless. Because of their genes, they could not be controlled by the Pieces of Eden and eventually escaped and stole an Apple. I assume this eventually caused the world wide rebellion, but I'm not sure. During the actual rebellion which took place after Adam and Eve's escape, the Toba catastrophe happened, which neither the humans or the First Civilization saw coming with the war going on. -- Master Sima Yi 23:16, April 28, 2012 (UTC)


 * I thought it was established that the First Civilization only started having children of mixed genes after the Toba catastrophe, in order to try and find some way of maintaining their legacy and providing humanity with a better chance of survival.


 * If we go from the assumption that there were no hybrids before then, seeing as there would be no motivation for them to do so, it would be impossible that Adam and Eve's attempted escape was the thing that prompted the First Civilization-Human War, since they would not have the genes necessary to resist the Pieces of Eden.


 * From there, there's only two explanations, with the first being that the Pieces of Eden had to be physically used by the First Civilization to make humans act like slaves, and that Adam and Eve's sudden rebellion took the First Civilization members by surprise, allowing them to steal and make a getaway with the Apple of Eden.


 * However, the second explanation would be that Adam and Eve's escape happened after the Toba catastrophe, giving them the reason that they could resist the effects of the Pieces of Eden.


 * Then again, Ubisoft could just throw a spanner in the works and say that Adam and Eve were conceived to be hybrids in secret. Slate Vesper 23:56, April 28, 2012 (UTC)


 * I don't want to intrude, but I read in the Assassin's Creed: Revelations Official Game Guide that the First Civ created Adam and Eve during the war, because they knew that they couldn't resist the catastrophe and so they spliced their DNA sequence into two humans: Adam and Eve. Adam held half of the DNA sequence, and Eve held the other half. This meant that if the DNA holders conceived children, the First Civilization could be reborn. The First Civilization still attempted to interbreed after the Catastrophe, because Juno talked about it in the Colloseum vault. Maybe they were uncertain about whether Adam and Eve had survived the flare? Arcemz 01:01, April 29, 2012 (UTC)


 * Can you give us a picture of that page and can you also show me whether or not it says that Desmond is a descendant of Adam? -- Master Sima Yi 10:10, April 29, 2012 (UTC)
 * If that is indeed true, then the Revelations Game Guide revealed more than the whole "Revelations" game.. StPerkele 10:26, April 29, 2012 (UTC)


 * Here: http://assassinscreed.wikia.com/wiki/File:Adam_and_Eve_ACROGG.JPG#filelinks
 * Sorry if it's incredibly blurred and incoherent, I had to take it myself.
 * It's on page 220, under "Mythos". This is what it says (exact words):
 * "Desmond is a distant son of Adam, half human and - though the manifestations are subtle - half god-race."
 * It then goes on to say that if 16's predictions are true, Desmond conceiving children with Eve's DNA holder might mark the rebirth of the First Civilization. Arcemz 11:18, April 29, 2012 (UTC)


 * Yeah, I can't read anything at all. How many pixels does the device you took it with have? XD Do you maybe have an HD camera or scanner? -- Master Sima Yi 11:22, April 29, 2012 (UTC)


 * Here we go, I found my camera and I managed to focus it over the text: http://assassinscreed.wikia.com/wiki/File:Adam_and_eve_mythos.JPG Arcemz 11:34, April 29, 2012 (UTC)


 * That's cleared up then. Don't mean to be a pain, but do you think you can get a pic of the passage mentioning those DNA sequences as well? -- Master Sima Yi 12:11, April 29, 2012 (UTC)


 * Here you go: http://assassinscreed.wikia.com/wiki/File:DNAadameve.jpg

Greetings from Canada, Master Sima Yi.

Though it may sound a little odd, this site seems almost impenetrable for a newcomer. Where do I even begin?

 * I would start by reading all the rules and policies which are linked to on your talk page. :) May not be the most fun thing to do but it will prevent your edits from getting reverted or your images from getting deleted. -- Master Sima Yi 09:37, April 30, 2012 (UTC)

Blog comments
Good day Master Sima. I was wondering if there is a problem with the comments posting feature (unlikely, as others seem to be able to do it) on the Wikia or I am the only one experiencing difficulties when tring to post a comment on any user blogs i visit. Lookin' forward for your reply Master.

P.S Apparently I'm not a very skilled contributor and I may have wrote this on the wrong section of your talk page, so I'd like to apologise in advance. Also my name does not show up when I use four of there "~ "11:25, May 1, 2012 (UTC)


 * I am having the same problem, yeah, and so are a few others. Only on this wiki though. Let's just wait a few days to see if it will solve itself. -- Master Sima Yi 11:51, May 1, 2012 (UTC)


 * Well, at least I'm not the only one. If I'm correct, this goes on for at least a week now. Anyway, let's hope it will get fixed soon. Killeras 15:09, May 1, 2012 (UTC)


 * I'm also having problems with this. So, you're definitely not alone. :) Also, a note: this has been going on for days for me. Aegis Runestone 16:59, May 1, 2012 (UTC)

I have noticed that the staff of the fanon section has decreased and I was wondering if there is a way I could join the staff to help out with the fanons.

Hey Sima, I was recently think of going over some templates to try and fix any grammar edits that might be in them, but whenever I tried to add a second one to my sandbox, it would stick the second template inside the border of the first, so I kind of went off the idea.

If you know what might be happening when I try that, could you tell me what I might be doing wrong so I can prevent it from occuring again?

I figured I could move them over into a blog or a forum post and have people vote on the ones which I reword. Slate Vesper 10:08, May 9, 2012 (UTC)


 * Can you show me an example of what exactly happens? I'm not quite sure what you mean. -- Master Sima Yi 10:19, May 9, 2012 (UTC)


 * Check my sandbox in a moment, I'll show you.


 * Edit: I just added another template to it, take a look now. Slate Vesper 10:22, May 9, 2012 (UTC)


 * I don't know what the hell this -  - was, but that's what caused it to mess up. Be sure to edit in Source mode, easier to find the problem then. -- Master Sima Yi 10:38, May 9, 2012 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the help, Sima. Seeing as I don't know coding, I'll compare the history and experiment a little to try and figure it out. Slate Vesper 10:43, May 9, 2012 (UTC)

So I've finished my edits to my sandbox and I was wondering if you could take a peek and tell me what you think. If it's okay with you and Vatsa (who I've just messaged), I'll put them up for a vote on the forums. Slate Vesper 14:33, May 9, 2012 (UTC)


 * Sure, put them up for vote if you like. :) -- Master Sima Yi 05:37, May 10, 2012 (UTC)

Cheers, Bonzi 006 02:49, May 10, 2012 (UTC)


 * I have no idea what that all means. I would advise you to ask Kaishiro, the owner of the Xertion network. He will probably be able to help out. -- Master Sima Yi 05:38, May 10, 2012 (UTC)

Trailer Articles
It's "possible" to make those??? I dunno it adds more information or something like that, but it's up to you...By the way Happy Early Birthday ahahahah <font size="2.0" color="purple">Zephalian (  Dossier  ) (  Briefing  ) 09:47, May 11, 2012 (UTC)


 * I doubt they'd be of much use, since it would be just "Blabla was a trailer for blabla release on blabla," which I doubt would be a very informative and long article. Naming them would also show a few problems. I reckon just having the trailers on their respective games' articles is good enough. And thanks! :) -- Master Sima Yi 09:53, May 11, 2012 (UTC)


 * You are right mate, The only reason on the wiki's we make trailer articles is because we don't have enough content... <font size="2.0" color="purple">Zephalian (  Dossier  ) (  Briefing  ) 11:52, May 11, 2012 (UTC)


 * On the subject of trailers, I think the AC2 page really needs more, I don't know how to add videos though... The Leaping Eagle 17:58, May 11, 2012 (UTC)

Deleted pages
Forgive me if I am wasting your time, but I was wondering why Assassination techniques, Auditore Execution and Quest for Vengeance pages were deleted. The Leaping Eagle 14:20, May 11, 2012 (UTC)
 * May I, Sima? Check this=>Forum:Event_articles_deletion.-- 14:25, May 11, 2012 (UTC)


 * Alright I understand the events, but what about those techniques? Were they viewed unnecessary? The Leaping Eagle 17:50, May 11, 2012 (UTC)


 * That page has been deleted for nearly a year. It's primarily deleted because it was more of a guide page, which is unnecessary because this wiki is more story-oriented. -- Master Sima Yi 17:51, May 11, 2012 (UTC)


 * Yeah, that makes a lot of sense, it was good as a guide, but that's not the main pupose of this wiki. The Leaping Eagle 16:50, May 12, 2012 (UTC)

Happy Birthday!


(Just click on it if it's too small; did a noob move on this one. :P)

William Prescott
Why was the William Prescott page deleted? Is he not in the game?-- 08:21, May 12, 2012 (UTC)


 * A website called at7addak said that William Prescott delivered the "don't fire until you see the whites of their eyes" and then informed Connor of his next target, while it is in fact Israel Putnam who performs that role. He may be in the final game with some other role, but at least not with that one. -- Master Sima Yi 08:52, May 12, 2012 (UTC)


 * Yeah in their ACIII Diary I know...Israel Putnam says the line in the game footage? Or did you mean in actuality? Still, I've read about Putnam being in the game in a lot of articles even if he's not the one to utter that line. Just checking to be sure.-- 08:59, May 12, 2012 (UTC)


 * In reality the line was attributed to three different people. In-game, you hear Putnam saying it. All other game sites report is as being Putnam, it was Putnam at the PAX demo and in the latest trailer you see Putnam there. ;) -- Master Sima Yi 09:04, May 12, 2012 (UTC)

Title image on my Fanon
[|Link to my Title image.]

This is what it's supposed to look like, but I updated the old version with this new one, and yet the "Legendary Hero" Part is still higher up next to the "Assassin's Creed" part. No matter how many times I try to update the old image, it won't fix it. Do you know why this is? Thanks!  Aegis Runestone Speak to me 16:10, May 12, 2012 (UTC)


 * Wikia's image cache is terrible. You should have waited for a few minutes when you uploaded the second image. All we can do now is delete the current image and you can upload the new image with a different name.. -- 16:19, May 12, 2012 (UTC)


 * OH! Okay. Please delete the image then.  Aegis Runestone Speak to me 17:23, May 12, 2012 (UTC)


 * Deleted. Upload the image with a different name and wait for the cache to update.. -- 17:37, May 12, 2012 (UTC)

Introduction
Hello Master Sima Yi. My name is Genessa and I'm a newbie in this community. I'm a bit new in this wikia and barely knew how to navigate around here so I'm just trying to say thank you for helping me editing for my article. I'll do my best to follow the rules and regulations in this forum.

Your sincerely

Genessa 11:07, May 14, 2012 (UTC)

Two Questions
I have two questions for you, they might annoy you or waste your time:

1. How do I get the Platinum trophy userbox?

2. How can I make a poll on a blog? The Leaping Eagle 19:35, May 14, 2012 (UTC)


 * This code gives you the platinum userbox: And you can make a poll like this. -- Master Sima Yi 19:40, May 14, 2012 (UTC)


 * Thank you! I think I might make a poll every week, out of boredom and curiosity. Unless you can think of a reason why I shouldn't. Won't see much action though, since I am an unknown here. The Leaping Eagle 20:52, May 14, 2012 (UTC)

It said that I was blocked/banned due to vandalism? Not that I know what I did to vandalise but...if I'm banned from this site due to my late sourcing of the image, I apologize for the inconveniences I had caused.

Genessa 09:56, May 17, 2012 (UTC)


 * It doesn't say you are blocked. You mean an anonymous IP? -- Master Sima Yi 10:19, May 17, 2012 (UTC)

Yes, that's precisely what I mean. For vandalism. Genessa 10:40, May 17, 2012 (UTC)


 * You were the guy who made this edit? -- Master Sima Yi 10:51, May 17, 2012 (UTC)

No I'm pretty sure I did not. Aside from my own Fanons and talkpage, I didn't touch any other articles within the wikia or edit it.

Genessa 11:50, May 17, 2012 (UTC)


 * Then I don't know about this, because no people were blocked today, and I only blocked two vandals yesterday. It may be an IP problem across Wikia that I don't really know how to fix. User:Assassinist and someone else had the same problem some time ago. -- Master Sima Yi 12:08, May 17, 2012 (UTC)

Weapons
I think that weapons that are carried into other games should be put into one article, for example "Spada Lunga" and "Prussian Longsword". They could be merged into one article I think. The Leaping Eagle 16:02, May 17, 2012 (UTC)


 * They could, but they all have different names and statistics. I figure this way keeps Brotherhood weapons from creeping into Revelations weapons etc. Slate Vesper 16:04, May 17, 2012 (UTC)


 * Then make a properly laid-out forum with that proposition. I'm not making decisions. -- Master Sima Yi 16:06, May 17, 2012 (UTC)


 * If you want, I ask that Slate make it though, so more people would be aware of it. The Leaping Eagle 16:08, May 17, 2012 (UTC)


 * It doesn't matter who makes it. People are going to vote on it anyway. Slate Vesper 16:26, May 17, 2012 (UTC)


 * I guess I'll do it then. The Leaping Eagle 20:35, May 17, 2012 (UTC)


 * I made it. It looks kind of odd though... The Leaping Eagle 20:58, May 17, 2012 (UTC)

Ezio's Apple
Now, I might just be grasping at straws here, but aren't there technically 6 Apples of Eden? If so, shouldn't Ezio's Apple be renamed Apple of Eden 6 with the rename proposal, since the Second Apple is used by Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad, but it isn't named Altaïr's Apple? Slate Vesper 01:05, May 19, 2012 (UTC)


 * Just because there are six known Apples doesn't mean there are six Apples in total. Ezio's Apple is never called Piece of Eden 6 whereas Altaïr's Apple is called Piece of Eden no. 2... -- Master Sima Yi 06:38, May 19, 2012 (UTC)

:3
I know you don't like it but visit here and read the blog to see the smileys used to the ULTIMATE effect.04:14, May 20, 2012 (UTC)


 * If nobody used it I wouldn't be majorly annoyed by it. What is your point? And remove the spacing from your signature, it's unnecessary and will break the number lists on forums... -- Master Sima Yi 08:49, May 20, 2012 (UTC)


 * How do I remove the spacing? I don't usually get this problem in other wikis.10:00, May 20, 2012 (UTC)


 * I fixed it. -- Master Sima Yi 10:17, May 20, 2012 (UTC)


 * Thanks.10:21, May 20, 2012 (UTC)

Top 10
Apparently, this wiki is ranked in the Top 10 popular gaming wikis. Do you know what number we are? The Leaping Eagle 16:43, May 20, 2012 (UTC)


 * I thought it was 8 or so, but I don't know if we still are. -- Master Sima Yi 16:50, May 20, 2012 (UTC)

Poll issue
Hi, I didn't plan on giving you a message today, but I must have done something bad to my recent poll, at the comments section, it merely says "<span style="color:rgb(255,255,255);font-size:12px;">You cannot add a comment to the article.". I don't know why this is, I never set it to disallow comments, I don't even know how to in fact. The Leaping Eagle 18:06, May 21, 2012 (UTC)


 * Looked like you accidentally disabled commenting. Fixed it, should be good now. -- Master Sima Yi 19:30, May 21, 2012 (UTC)


 * Ah, thank you! Still not sure how I managed it though. Could you tell me how you fixed it, for future reference? The Leaping Eagle 19:41, May 21, 2012 (UTC)


 * Above the edit summary section you can see "Minor edit" and on blogs there is "Commenting" too. You accidentally removed the checkmark next to "Commenting." -- Master Sima Yi 19:42, May 21, 2012 (UTC)


 * Oh, I did that deliberately, I never thought it would disable comments though. I'm too embarrassed to say what I thought it was for. The Leaping Eagle 19:46, May 21, 2012 (UTC)

Policy Editing
Hey Sima, I just had a quick question. What's the protocol on editing Policy pages? I was thinking of expanding the Sourcing Policy, mostly to update the list of reliable sources, propose a new format for "Citing a source", and add a format for Internet article sources.

I was thinking of making a copy in a sandbox, then posting it in a forum for approval before updating the Policy itself. Or should I just be posting my suggestions for change in its Talk page? Thanks :p =GuardDog 23:38, May 21, 2012 (UTC)

Cleanup
why the fuck you keep removing my shit you prick


 * Because you don't bother reading any of our rules and policies regarding speculative info. As I said, there are Templars on both sides of the war, and we don't know enough about the exact roles they have in both armies to be sure that they are "affiliated" with the Templars at any point. Try again in a few months, because then we can play the actual game and you will probably be unblocked. -- Master Sima Yi 08:40, May 24, 2012 (UTC)


 * How dare you insult Sima like that!!! He just followed the rules. It was you who broke them in the first place so blame yourself.

Multiplayer characters
I figured I'd ask you before doing anything, but do you think it's be wise for me to rename the articles which contain the list of the characters to have Animi Avatars at the end?

If I could, it'd allow them to be put in more of a story context. Slate Vesper 21:14, May 24, 2012 (UTC)


 * ...What? -- Master Sima Yi 21:21, May 24, 2012 (UTC)


 * Sorry, let me elaborate. There's the page "Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood Multiplayer characters", but should I rename it to "Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood Animi Avatars" etc? Slate Vesper 21:30, May 24, 2012 (UTC)


 * Well, it would still be OOU due to the "Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood" part. Maybe if you renamed it to "Animi Avatars (Brotherhood)" or something to that extent. But I personally don't really care either way. -- Master Sima Yi 21:42, May 24, 2012 (UTC)


 * I'll be sure to do that, along with re-adding "-owned" to the characters yet again. Nothing wrong with getting the OK on it though, even though you're not a Multiplayer fan. :P Slate Vesper 21:53, May 24, 2012 (UTC)

Assassin's Creed III Screen Shots Section
Salutations Master Sima YI... I was browsing the Assassin's Creed 3 article on the Wiki and discovered that the article doesn't possess all screenshots as there are two that are missing... here is the link to the first picture. Could you kindly edit it and place the picture in the screen shot section of the article? I would do it myself but I do not have the authority too... http://gamernation.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/assassins_creed_3_screenshot6.jpg

Also I found this other screenshot, could you perhaps add this to the collection of screenshots as well? Or notify someone else to do it?

http://gamingvlog.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/Assassins-Creed-3-21.jpeg

Thank you kindly, Master Sima YI

Yours in Confidence,

Supreme Master Assassin 01:01, May 28, 2012 (UTC)


 * We don't need "all" screenshots of the game on the article. The first one is photoshopped and the second one is horrible quality. -- Master Sima Yi 08:13, May 28, 2012 (UTC)


 * How can you tell? Why don't we need "all" screenshots of the game? If the screenshots are available, shouldn't they be used? I don't see how the first one is photoshopped... I've seen it all over the place... Supreme Master Assassin 17:28, May 28, 2012 (UTC)


 * What do these pictures add to the page? Do you want to have a picture of every single frame on the page once the game is out? We only put officially released images on there, not bad quality pictures taken with a camera or ones pixelated by YouTube. The first one is photoshopped to have brighter colors because the colors in the initial picture were bad and it was very pixelated like the second one. -- Master Sima Yi 17:31, May 28, 2012 (UTC)


 * Well now that you mention it... Nothing... I just thought it would benefit the article. Guess not, you're the expert here.. considering you're an administrator... Supreme Master Assassin 20:24, May 28, 2012 (UTC)


 * Not necessarily that, but I can speak out of experience that it's best to not add any more images than we have to... The whole gallery on the Assassin's Creed: Revelations page last year was horrible and unnecessarily massive, so me and Vatsa are trying to minimize the amount of images and to not have any trailer images on them at all. -- Master Sima Yi 20:28, May 28, 2012 (UTC)


 * Speaking of which, how the deuce does one go about sourcing images on their user page so it's not deleted? Do I just add something in the caption? Like "Got image from Google and it's from Assassin's Creed 2"? Supreme Master Assassin 20:35, May 28, 2012 (UTC)


 * Nope, you add a link to the website the image appeared on/from. That goes into the source, a caption is just a description of the image; try looking at other sourced images for examples. -- Master Sima Yi 20:39, May 28, 2012 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the help Master Sima YI... I believe I sourced it the way it was supposed to be... but er... could you check? I am not experienced at this sourcing stuff... Supreme Master Assassin 21:01, May 28, 2012 (UTC)

You have to edit the edit and add this info to it:

And fill in the blanks. Skip attention and filespecs, and add for licensing. -- Master Sima Yi 21:09, May 28, 2012 (UTC)

Alright, thanks for your wisdom Master Sima YI... I would never have figured this out on my own if it weren't for the information you provided me to source my image. If it's not too much trouble, could you check and make sure everythign was done correctly? I mean, I'd rather be safe than sorry... Pretty sure everything is right but you're experienced in this, not me. Supreme Master Assassin 21:20, May 28, 2012 (UTC)

Multiplayer Abilities
It recently came to my attention that the multiplayer abilities page only had information on it from AC: Brotherhood, and the Teleport ability but none of the other new abilities. So I went and recorded new information about Revelation's abilites and noticed that there were enough differences that I thought it wise to create a seperate section for Revelation's abilities.

Another user and I have gotten into a discussion since then (much better than an "undo, redo" fight) about whether to A) keep it as its own section as it is now, B) added the new information to the old abilities, or C) make it its own page. What would you suggest? I would appreciate your wisdom and insight on the matter. Alpha1ance 03:55, May 28, 2012 (UTC)


 * If they are so different, then I would say create separate sections. But just because I'm a bureaucrat doesn't mean I make any decisions. -- Master Sima Yi 17:33, May 28, 2012 (UTC)
