Templates
Why AC: Pirates don't deserve it's own template? Maxattac (talk) 15:48, July 30, 2014 (UTC)


 * As I've mentioned, we're working on switching to in-universe navboxes. Limiting the articles that have templates in the midst of the switch saves us time later when it comes to removing them. Same thing with the ACU template. 15:50, July 30, 2014 (UTC)


 * When this change will take place ? Because I find the Templates really useful to compile and quickly find all the informations about a game. Maxattac (talk) 16:08, July 30, 2014 (UTC)

Black Flag present day
Storm, did you have the dialogue of Black Flag's present day missions in your sandbox? I thought you did but I couldn't find anything in any of the four. Did it get transferred to an article? Thanks for reading 17:44, August 18, 2014 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I moved them into 21st century conversations to make room for something else in one of my sandboxes. 20:21, August 18, 2014 (UTC)

Charles Sivert
Hi! I wanted to talk about the recently edit-reverted article on Charles Gabriel Sivert. I understand that there may be doubts about the accuracy of the article, but I took a screenshot with my phone of the gameplay of the level by one of the game designers and used what information I took from the video. I am confident that my information was secure, as it was in an official single-player gameplay video that was released (it is one of the videos on the page for Assassin's Creed: Unity). If the information is somehow different in another rendition of the game, the picture at least is 100% official, as it was taken directly from the video. Since you are an administrator, I will do what ever you wish, but I simply ask for your consideration about at least keeping the image (or, better yet, restoring my edit). Thank you! Saving Private Ryan (talk) 00:18, August 19, 2014 (UTC)


 * Hey SPR, I appreciate you contacting me instead of just reverting. First, as indicated in the message I left on your talk page back in December, all images uploaded to the wiki must be sourced on the image itself. However, as you've just admitted to taking the picture with your phone, the image is deemed low-quality and will not be used; if you can find a high-quality version of that image, you can upload it with proper sourcing. Onto the other matter: the information. Many of released demos for AC games have either not made it into the final game or have been altered in some way. While we are aware that Sivert is a Templar in the game, anything else in the demo could be merely for the demo's sake and not canon. Again, thank you for taking the time to talk to me about it. 00:25, August 19, 2014 (UTC)

Properly tagging image source?
Hi there, I recently uploaded a couple of images and didn't source them properly (sorry about that) but after reading the image rules I'm not sure if they're allowed. They are the artworks for the soundtracks, the source is iTunes and I can get anything from there in the absolute maximum resolution for you.

Please let me know exactly how to tag or even if I should and I get right on it - just want to help!


 * Hey, TheTrueHeresy. Thanks for contacting me about this; I know the image-sourcing policy can be a bit confusing. Truth be told, I avoided uploading images, when I first started out, just to avoid having to deal with all the red tape. I can help you out with one of them and you can go from there.

This is the template used to source all images. Simply edit the image and place it in the source code; be sure to remove the Delete template I have placed on it. As far as the actual "source" criteria, if there's an available website to backtrack to, make sure to include it; it helps if users other than yourself can find where you got the image. The message I left on your talk-page should help with any general questions you may have, but if it doesn't, don't be hesitant to contact me again. Also, remember to sign your posts with ~. 23:36, August 25, 2014 (UTC)

Hey there, I had a go at uploading the first OST cover again with your advice - please tell me if it's up to standard. I am trying to get the exact URL of the image and can update that as soon as I've found it also? If this one's OK I'll go ahead and upload the rest - there's a few that aren't on the Wiki at all so far. --TheTrueHeresy (talk) 21:01, August 26, 2014 (UTC)


 * Looks good. I made some modifications, so all that's missing is the actual iTunes site, which you can edit into the link. Also, there's no need for the Attention slot, since it's not an edited version of a previous image or anything of the sort. 21:13, August 26, 2014 (UTC)

Sunset Overdrive
Okay, it shouldn't be in the main page because it relates more to SO than AC. So, how about the trivia section? There is none now, but it would definitely make sense to make one and put that in there. It has to do with AC at least somewhat, right? OutrightUndead (talk) 04:27, August 31, 2014 (UTC)
 * Not really, because again, that point focuses on Sunset Overdrive. You could Google the "controversy" and find numerous articles from different developers, celebrities, or websites giving their own two cents. Each has about as much reason to be in place of that one, and all of them don't have much of a reason to be on the page. 04:32, August 31, 2014 (UTC)

Grammar (periods inside quotations)
I recall you saying that periods don't go inside quotations. While, without even searching, I found two articles with the opposite style in place (A.K.A. the proper way of writing).

Coolguysdontlookatexplosions (talk) 05:48, September 7, 2014 (UTC)


 * I'm not sure if there's actually a policy on this. The wiki uses American spelling, that much I know. However, a lot of the frequent contributors here have been taught to use British spelling and grammar. I for one refuse to adopt the "periods go inside quotations" system, because it does not make sense from a grammatical point of view. The only situation when it's legit is the following:


 * "I don't know what you're talking about," he said.


 * Because here we are talking about a full sentence. However, American grammar insists on always jamming comma's and periods in between quotation marks, even when it's blatantly obvious that those comma's and periods are not part of the semantic content that stands between quotations marks. They serve a grammatical function in the overarching sentence, not that one piece of quoted material.


 * I'd hardly consider American grammar the proper way of writing, merely a way of writing. 07:49, September 7, 2014 (UTC)


 * Lol. He never told me there was an actual policy on it. He just said, "You can check other articles if you want. We use the other version to what you're used to."  Coolguysdontlookatexplosions (talk) 17:02, September 7, 2014 (UTC)


 * "We" refers to the wiki as a whole, meaning, in most cases, that there is a policy involved. I thought there was a forum vote for a it at some point, but I can't seem to find it in Nesty's archives. 17:05, September 7, 2014 (UTC)

Vids
Sima recently requested videos of Abstergo stuff from AC4. While you have those on video, I don't think it's just that, meaning you have other footage of just wandering around and collecting it. Could you record those things in a separate vid, and then put them up on your channel? Just mark the video as "unlisted" afterwards, so people won't see it unless you give out the link, which will be given to us here.

It's gonna get you views too. My vid of the ACB's Miracle file is still up on The Truth page, and skyrocketing. --<font color="#7575DB" face="OCR A" size="4">Kainzorus Prime <font color="#7575DB" size="6">⚜  <font color="#4C99A6">Walkie-talkie  00:14, November 1, 2014 (UTC)


 * Sure, I can record it tomorrow. What exactly am I looking for, and should I do them all in one video or separate ones? 00:28, November 1, 2014 (UTC)


 * In his exact words "Any and all images/videos from the Abstergo files and Documents sections of the Animus database." I can get the images, so I'll leave all the videos to you. The autopsy, surrogate tapes, phone records, trailers, the whole shebang. Personally I'd dump it into one video, but knowing Sima, he'd want them separate for each.

Image sourcing
hey.....could you help me by telling how to upload a picture or a video on an article.....i read the image policy but didn't quite understand it.....

but still i tried to upload a picture in the basis of the things i did understand and every time it gave an error.....could you please help me....Jayam (talk) 18:07, November 3, 2014 (UTC)

could you please explain to me why did you remove the picture i uloaded???.....that is why i was asking you to help me........Jayam (talk) 05:52, November 4, 2014 (UTC)


 * I sent you a message on how to source images. If that doesn't work, open an image uploaded by a senior editor (myself, Kain and Crook come to mind), copy the template used and change the information. If you captured an image straight from the game, the source would be the game you got it from. If you got it from a website, the source would be that website. Ubisoft is usually the author of most images uploaded to the wiki. Also, check edit summaries, as they usually indicate why an edit was reverted. Also also, calm down. There's no need to ask the same question to 5 different people. 06:02, November 4, 2014 (UTC)

Initiate
Abstergo Entertainment research analyst isn't exactly a real name but in the game itself they called him the Initiate. That name is from the game itself and it has not yet been released to the public but The source information I got is at September 2014. Arno and Élise became an article before the game is officially released. --Cococrash11 (talk) 00:15, November 10, 2014 (UTC)
 * That's not the point. Abstergo Entertainment research analyst is a definitive name. "Initiate" can refer to any one of the many initiates, some of which we already have articles for. Also, who's to say this person actually does something in the game? The research analyst actually interacts with the environment. As far as I've seen, you're just one-way talking to some chick. We'll wait til we can find both a better name and an actual reason for the article to exist. 00:19, November 10, 2014 (UTC)

I don't understand what you're saying. They didn't exactly call the Silent Protagonist in Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag Abstergo Entertainment research analyst in the game. Isn't the name conjecture I mean at one time it was actually called R-L and there was no such name in the game. While in the Assassin's Creed: Unity they call him Initiate which is much more concrete in Black Flag. So you're saying unless he appears moving around exploring like Research Analyst he doesn't count as a real character. So how do they tell the Modern Day stories. --Cococrash11 (talk) 00:41, November 10, 2014 (UTC)


 * Yes, AERA is a conjectural name, but it's the best we got. "Initiate" is not the individual's name, as any one of the Initiates can be called that. I'm not saying he/she is not important. I'm saying we don't have anything to go on for an actual article to be necessary. 00:46, November 10, 2014 (UTC)

Could they not be termed as the "Helix initiate"? That would at least specify their role somewhat. Slate Vesper (talk) 01:30, November 11, 2014 (UTC)

My recent edits.
I also checked the credits in a walkthrough and it is confirmed to be Tod Fennell. When are spoilers allowed to be posted, per Wikia time, that is? I'm ready to start getting more content on here. I figured I could add that little bit, as it was on IMDb and I knew it was confirmed. My apologies. Roger Murtaugh (talk) 01:28, November 11, 2014 (UTC)
 * I'm not entirely sure what the plan is, whether we're holding off til Thursday for everyone to get it or tonight with the first official release. 02:46, November 11, 2014 (UTC)
 * Hm. I assume that as soon as midnight hits, for everyone, there will be tons of spoilers. Information tends to show up on first release, on different Wikias that I've seen. It's going to be a busy few days, with all of the new articles and such. Roger Murtaugh (talk) 03:34, November 11, 2014 (UTC)
 * Undoubtedly. I'm just trying to be mindful to everyone that doesn't live in the US so it's not spoiled for them. Meanwhile, I'm trying to kill an hour with a quick supper. 03:37, November 11, 2014 (UTC)
 * I understand. Perhaps spoiler alerts, to help assist with that. All I intend to add is very minor edits, as before, like appearances, or, voice actors, until I know for sure that the big spoilers are okay. Do you know if there will be a place to check for when it's okay to add massive spoilers? Roger Murtaugh (talk) 03:40, November 11, 2014 (UTC)
 * We were discussing it earlier on the IRC, but in this, our final hour, everyone seems to be MIA. We'll have to get back to you on that. Also, I apologize for the abruptness. I think it's safe now for minor things like that. 03:43, November 11, 2014 (UTC)
 * Excellent. What I added earlier is confirmed. I understand that I'll have to wait a few to add it. Thankfully not too long. I like adding in the minor things that some overlook, sometimes. No apology necessary. My apologies for causing a little more extra work. I can imagine how busy it must be getting having to revert everything. I'll keep an eye out, here, for updates. Thanks for being patient with all of my queries. Roger Murtaugh (talk) 03:49, November 11, 2014 (UTC)
 * If I'm not mistaken, I can add minor edits, now? Such as actors and such? I want to be sure that you meant this hour and not the next one. Roger Murtaugh (talk) 04:00, November 11, 2014 (UTC)
 * I don't think an hour is going to make a huge difference. Yeah, just the minor stuff. Avoid spoilers in the edit summaries, obviously.
 * No problem. I'll add actors and some appearances, if they aren't a huge plot point. I don't want to have massive spoilers, anywhere. Roger Murtaugh (talk) 04:05, November 11, 2014 (UTC)

Hi. I noticed you recently deleted my page I constructed on Camille and added its introduction to another page, which I noticed also focuses on Camille. Did the page on Camille that you moved my writing to exist before I created my Camille page, and I simply wasn't aware of it? I would appreciate if you could explain the reason. Thank you.

I suppose because, although Camille was a figure of the French Revolution, - a figure I personally admire, - he was never confirmed as a character within Unity, therefore having a page dedicated to his existence and infleunce during the French Revolution would be entirely unnecessary. I believe I now understand why you chose to delete the majority of my writing, which is fine. I simply wanted people interested in Camille and his connection with the French Revolution to be further educated on the subject, but I realize now that only topics which appear within the Assasin's Creed games should be featured within the Wiki.

Forgive me for composing the page on Camille, then. I am very new to this Wiki. I just became a member of it today, in fact. I searched this Wiki for a page on Camille, couldn't find one, and being the history nerd that I am I was very excited to write some of what I've studied about about him on a Wiki. But I am aware of how it works now.

Adding an image
Sorry about that. I can't seem to add that source box to the image itself. The only option for adding text to a picture is the caption box that I see, and I know that's not right. Where exactly do I put the source box?GoldenBoy99 (talk) 19:25, November 16, 2014 (UTC)


 * To source an image, you need to edit the image's page itself. For example, if I wanted to add a source to this, I would open the page, click edit, and then use the source box. -- 19:31, November 16, 2014 (UTC)

 * Manuscript I agree. But the box does have power, it projects a 3D world map with the Temple locations when the manuscript is processed through it.

Don't edit in visual mode?
I use my android phone for internet (wikia) access. Is the wikia classic editor acceptable, or would I have to edit the source? I'd probably have to quit editing or learn HTML to do the latter. Jasonnorthrup (talk) 17:09, November 26, 2014 (UTC)


 * Classic editor would be your best bet - you can always use preview to see how it'll look visually. 17:31, November 26, 2014 (UTC)


 * So, to recap, I'm using classic now, I think, and by default. It has a "visual" tab and a "source" tab, and either would be acceptable, but not "VisualEditor", which I don't use anyway, since it doesn't interface well with Chrome on this device. Jasonnorthrup (talk) 17:45, November 26, 2014 (UTC)
