Hello
Hello D Cello, I am Zantam03 from Gongjin's Campaign Memorials. If it's ok I'd like to ask you a question about the look of your mainpage. I like those blocks around the various subjects, but, as a .css noob, I do not understand much of how they're made :p. Looks rather complex with it being spread over various pages. Despite that I'm interesting in using it for my Wiki. Not on its mainpage, but rather on articles such as this one. I think it'll make it look a lot clearer if every header has it's own block. If it's not too much effort, could you please instruct me or tell me how you've made these blocks and how I could use them for that page? ---Zantam03undefined(Talk) 15:31, March 3, 2011 (UTC) '


 * Hey mate. I can't even really escribe what .css is, so I can't help you with that XD Our main page was designed by a friend of mine over at Dragon Age wiki, and he is the one who created everything you see there. You better speak with him =] -- D. Cello 16:01, March 3, 2011 (UTC)

Different Subject

 * Hey Cello I was thinking we should have a Steam Group for the wikia that way when Brotherhood comes out on Steam people can access it from within the game and chat with other members of the Steam group and we could maybe even post small articles there as a way of helping people who want to look things up easily. P.S I've already created the group I'll just delete it if its a no... :/ AdminAuditor(e)'Talk 21:40, March 3, 2011 (UTC)


 * Err.. sure Lucan, I see no problem in giving it a try. Are we sure that BH will go out on Steam? And if you want, make a post on the forums to let people know of it =] Good luck. -- D. Cello 00:51, March 4, 2011 (UTC)

I know its coming out on Steam as I preordered it from there.

I just need to get some good editors together and I need to think of how to have the articles I guess it could be the Announcements ...hmmm -- Admin  Auditor(e) Talk 03:19, March 4, 2011 (UTC)
 * Lucan, history shows it was you, if not, I apolagize first. If you edit my talkpage archive links once again, I will ban you for a month. Understood? -- D. Cello 22:22, March 5, 2011 (UTC)
 * Errr I do not recall editing your archives.
 * Admin Auditor(e) Talk 22:39, March 5, 2011 (UTC)
 * That's why I apoligized before hand in case it was an error, because history shows it was between two of your edits. Don't worry, this warning would go to anyone else. -- D. Cello 22:42, March 5, 2011 (UTC)

IRC Trouble
bibs banned a user, Sakura`Kinomoto, for no reason. then lied and said it was in his pm. I'm not stupid, and he's got his buddy ChickenNugget in here backing him up. I have logs, I'll post them now.

so.. you said you liked bibs for WHAT reason exactly? Even Rayne told him yesterday when he was giving halfop he's not to be kicking and banning me. He did it anyway, and not only that he used Blaidd's access to do it. -- Kaishiro  Message 05:03, March 6, 2011 (UTC)


 * So that's the whole thing, Brother. And it was still going on when I got on. But I settled it myself (since it once again fell to me). Both Bibs and ChickenNugget have been banned permanently from our IRC channel, not only for their breaking of the rules we set down, But for screwing with Kaishiro as well as Sakura for no reason and for stealing BlaiddDdraig's identity amongst other reasons seen above. -- Rayne  Message 22:01, March 5, 2011 (UTC)
 * So it's settled. Good enough, Thanks. -- D. Cello 22:22, March 5, 2011 (UTC)
 * How can one aquire BlaiddDdraig's password, anyhow? And sorry for my absence at the IRC lately, I got stuck in Dragon Age.. that game is too awesome for the mind to comprehend. --  T H I E F  22:53, March 5, 2011 (UTC)
 * DA 1 or 2? -- D. Cello 22:56, March 5, 2011 (UTC)
 * Dragon Age 1, I don't have 2 yet. I remember you talking about DA:O a while back, though. It is a truly awesome game. XD --  T H I E F  23:02, March 5, 2011 (UTC)

I know how they took my name, I was having lots of trouble registering, so Avanti offered to help, and did it for me, of course to do this I had to tell him what my password would be. So in anger, I guess he told a few people. I'm probably going to have the same problems registering once more, so Kai, I trust you, if I can't register myself, could you do it for me. -- ’R BlaiddDdraig  03:48, March 6, 2011 (UTC)

You can do it. I'll tell you how on IRC. -- Kaishiro  Message 05:03, March 6, 2011 (UTC)

So, on an update of the IRC trouble. It seems that Blaidd had never given bib his password like the above logs said. How it happened was when Blaidd first got on the IRC channel, Blaidd was having trouble registering, so Avanti offered to help him. Blaidd told Avanti what password to use, and Avanti registered his name. Well then sometime between Blaidd's first registration on the IRC server and the time these logs took place, Avanti told bib Blaidd's password which allowed the channel takeover in the first place.

Then during all that, when bib got services ignored by Cookie, he passed Blaidd's password on over to ChickenNugget and Nugget banned the entire channel, which in turn caused us to add him to services' ignore as well. How long these services ignores are going to last, I don't know that's up to Cookie.

Also, on another note Cookie has changed War_Clown's IP address on the ZNC that he uses to connect to the IRC so he is no longer sharing an address with Avanti, bib, and ChickenNugget. So if any network bans are placed on them in the future (G:Line, K:Line, etc.) War_Clown will not be affected. Yay! :D -- Kaishiro  Message 05:45, March 6, 2011 (UTC)

Images
I've got some images of Ezio's room from AC: Brotherhood that i'd like to add but i'm having trouble adding them, i click add a photo to this gallery and it just freezes, it happens on all the gallery's is there some sort of problem with the gallery's or is it just me? Tom Talk 18:14, March 7, 2011 (UTC)
 * If your browser freezes, then its most likely something on your end. Try using other browser and see if it works =] -- D. Cello 19:02, March 7, 2011 (UTC)

Merging articles
Hey bro, I'm going to work on thos duplicated articles from multiplayer characters, but I dont know how to redirect. Can you teach me so I can move on? Assassin Guy 02:43, March 8, 2011 (UTC)

My computer doesn't freeze just the edit gallery thing. Tom Talk 19:45, March 7, 2011 (UTC)


 * Leave those articles alone, Assassin Guy. I know you mean well, but the multiplayer characters and their single-player counterparts are SUPPOST to be two separate articles. Don't try to merge or redirect them to one-another in any way. -- Rayne  Message 02:47, March 8, 2011 (UTC)

DLC help
Hi, I recently downloaded the new DLC and am not able to play it. I know I need the update for it, but I do not know how to get it. Please tell me asap please. Thank you User:Son of Icthar 09:16, March 12, 2011 (UTC)

May I ask for a bit of advice?
Hello, I'm .Seshat. from the D.Gray-man wiki, and I was just wondering, if I may be so bold as to ask, how did you get your wiki's background color to have that wonderful transparent effect? If I'm overstepping, I sincerely apologize; I'm new to the whole admin thing (and I fell into the position in the most undesirable of ways), and I'm a bit lost as to how to do certain things...

Thank you very much for your time. .Seshat. 21:40, March 12, 2011 (UTC)
 * Hey, the best way for you to get it is contact a Wikia Staff member (for gaming wikis, most likely User:JoePlay). May I ask what was the undesirable manner you fell into adminship? oO -- D. Cello 00:31, March 13, 2011 (UTC)
 * We have (or had) five admins on the site, but these last few months only one of them (a new one) was active. Early this morning, an admin from another wiki came in and accused this new admin of plagiarizing template designs, and said new admin decided then and there that they were quitting wikias 'forever' and started deleting the templates they had made (or, more likely, plagiarized). I, who had come to depend on this admin quite a bit, got scared, and when I wasn't able to convince the admin to stay, I asked for administrative rights so I could, at least, protect the wiki from vandalism. (droops) .Seshat. 00:43, March 13, 2011 (UTC)
 * Wow.. that sucks =/ Well, let me know if you need aything =] -- D. Cello 00:48, March 13, 2011 (UTC)

Background
Hello. can I know that what resolution picture was used for the background of the Wiki. Thanks? -- Nisheeth (Leave message) --  08:55, March 14, 2011 (UTC)
 * I don't remember. Why would you want to know that, anyway? oO -- D. Cello 15:39, March 14, 2011 (UTC)
 * The Admin on The Matrix Wiki wanted to use a gif file depicting the falling green code as background but it wouldn't look good tiled as well as it was too large (3.09 GB). So I suggested designing the still background that depicts the falling code that will look as if it fades at the end, just like the bodies of Ezio and all fades into the fog. But he also didn't know dimensions for the image. But the image here seems to be of High resolution as well as of a large size, How did you get it Under the size of 100KB?

 * Okay, I searched the file on my pc, the pic resolution is 1980x1200. I figure is the biggeest resolution someone normal would use. And use photoshop when saving as jpeg, you can select the quality and final size. -- D. Cello 15:59, March 14, 2011 (UTC)
 * Oh! Thanks.

Country Userbox
Hey Cello, Blaidd had requested a country userbox. I have two for your approval here. And we are still working on quotes for some MP characters. Vatsa 07:59, March 15, 2011 (UTC)

The second one is good and carries some uniformity, but the third one should be used for a custom userbox, and therefore not be official. Here's a temporary answer to keep you "not forgotten about" until the master arrives with his final opinion, haha. -- <font color="#000080"> T <font color="#0b0076">H <font color="#15006c">I <font color="#200062">E <font color="#2b0059">F  10:09, March 15, 2011 (UTC)

The third one is a custom made one, I requested it, I didn't expect it to become official. -- ’R BlaiddDdraig  10:34, March 15, 2011 (UTC)
 * The second one, the first one iamges is so narrow we cant see the flag clearly. -- D. Cello 18:17, March 15, 2011 (UTC)

I could help you look for info
Hey im Jaykattz, i play Assassins Creed 1, 2, and Brotherhood for the ps3, if you want me to look for anything i could easily do it. i would than send you a message telling what i found, than you could write in the wiki. Just let me know what you think.

Removel from the Istruttorium
Hello, Cello. After the argument on Rayne's talk page and a discussion on the IRC afterward, I am requesting a removel from the Istruttorium. Please let me know when done so I can remove my Istruttorium header, userbox, and the custom apprentice avatar. Safety and peace, Captain. Assassino de Roma 01:38, March 20, 2011 (UTC)

 * Look, Rome you have been a consistent, valuable editor who just let things get slightly out of hand as of late. Your position on the Istruttorium was earned through hard work and hard earned respect, so please do not give it up so hastily. If you feel time away from staff responsibilities is what you need, a temporary suspension might be the solution. It would be a pity to loose you over such uncharacteristic circumstances, but as I said to you on the IRC, if you feel it best, you have my blessings and my respect! -- The Green Lion Chatterbox 02:16, March 20, 2011 (UTC)
 * Rome what you need is a holiday. You've probably been in front of the computer too long, that's why you're all cranky. But I respect one's decision, so it's all you. It's your life man. -- Juan Blanco Reception Area 02:40, March 20, 2011 (UTC)


 * It's done. If you ever want your position back, you just need to ask. -- D. Cello 15:36, March 20, 2011 (UTC)
 * Okay, thank you. Assassino de Roma  16:11, March 20, 2011 (UTC)

Stub policy and redirect suggestions
Hey D,

I'm a bit of peripheral editor here, so I was wondering about a couple of things. How does the stub policy work? It seems to me like the stub template is littered on any article that's slightly short. Logically, articles that fall into the stub category are incomplete or lacking somehow. In cases that there simply isn't enough info about a subject, wouldn't the articles be considered complete, even if they're short?

I'd also suggest making redirects for the various templar acronyms in Subject 16's messages (i.e. H -> Hitler, C -> Churchill etc). I'd just do it, but since I'm unfamiliar with any policies here, I figured I'd ask.

~Obsidion
 * Hey mate. Glad to see you're getting more involved in the wiki. We don't really have a policy for stubs, we prefer to keep it simple. If an article is very short or lacks info, it's considered a stub. If it has most of the info on the subject avaiable, then it's not a stub anymore. And good idea with the acronyms, feel free to start working on then. Happy editing. Safety and peace. -- D. Cello 22:47, April 2, 2011 (UTC)

Idea: Polls
Long discussions are interesting, but how about some polls to make the users opinions and theories more clear?

I'm new so I don't know if you have done polls before. They are easy to make in html.

Just a simple example: It could be fun with statistics on people's thoughts about the future.

Bleeding Effect
In AC 2 we were told that memories of ncestors couldn't be passed after the concieving on the decendant.

But Subject 16, in one of his glyph files says that he can feel as the water fills his lungs and how he is dying, but shouldn't his memories be passed on to his decendant before his ancestor's death?

Same in ACBH, Desmond sees the image of Ezio in The Sanctuary, and states that he would have come there long after the Villa Attack?

Is there a explanation given to these facts or are they just plotholes?

203.153.39.18 07:04, April 7, 2011 (UTC)

well i understand ur confusion with the first point where the ancestor is drowning and i am confused as well by this. but ur second point is odd. what is the problem with ezio coming back after the attack? we have no idea when he will father a child. it makes perfect sense for him to come back and leaves no continuity error.

Incomplete huge list of Apprentice names
Hey Cello, may I ask (as kindly as I can) what is wrong with removing that section? (If you want to skip my meaningless arguements and are low on time, just scroll down to the part at the bottom XD) I provided a very good reason. "I've thought about it for a while now, and this section is just.. well, useless.. as well as unlikely to complete sometime soon, they're just randomly generated names, i'll put a note of it in Trivia" All that section is doing is providing a useless and incomplete set of last names and first names put together. If anything, we should just have a list of first names and last names, but list them seperately, instead of a huge list of names that the game assigned randomly. It is a pretty useless section, and doesn't provide much data to users who would want to read about the BAM system or another section there. And, in this case, randomly generated names and randomly assigned names carry the same meaning. Here's a shorter part if you are low on time, boss XD: It would be either ethical to remove it (maybe keep it at the bottom of the article if you are dedicated) or just make a shorter list of last names and first names, but not full names as listing every possible combination in the game is quite useless and too long. I hope I said that right.
