I heard you have images :) Stormbeast  The Helpful Place 23:52, June 21, 2012 (UTC)

Will be there in a sec and I'll PM them to you. Not sure if they are 100% accurate as they are concept images but the artist and look are AC and he works for Ubisoft on AC. -- ► Kaloneous ◄♣HelpDesk♣ 23:55, June 21, 2012 (UTC)

IMPORTANT
Please tell why the images I uploaded were deleted? They were used, still you said 'unused image'. Reply ASAP.

Thanks

Jetfire343 10:32, June 25, 2012 (UTC)

I removed the images from the article because they messed up the format but I did not delete them from the wiki. Only admins have the power to do that. My advice is to ask either Vatsa1708 or Master Sima Yi. In all likelihood it was because they were not sourced, contained subtitles and had additional graphics (such as the one highlighting the Apple of Eden) which are not present in the game. For additional information on the wikis image plocy please refer to this link. -- ► Kaloneous ◄♣HelpDesk♣ 10:48, June 25, 2012 (UTC)

Hey...,
Could You tell me, why my photo in Crossbow article war deleted? Couldn't You simply minimize it, if You decided that it's too big? o.O

Kubar906  (Moja dyskusja tutaj! / My Talk here! / Мое обсуждение здесь!) 17:03, July 3, 2012 (UTC)


 * Hi Kubar, I did try and resize it but it still showed as out of place in that section. The image itself is good quality but that section was also to do with the types of moves available for the crossbow and you image showed only Ezio holding the crossbow. The image hasn't beeen deleted and may be better suited to another page/article such as the ACR page or Ezio's gallery page. I hope that answers your question. -- ► Kaloneous ◄♣HelpDesk♣ 17:09, July 3, 2012 (UTC)


 * OK, thanks. If You need similiar graphics from AC: Revelations here, I can make some. :)

Graphics
OK, I uploaded some photos. I'll send You some more later. I hope that they're fine :)

Kubar906  (Moja dyskusja tutaj! / My Talk here! / Мое обсуждение здесь!) 17:38, July 3, 2012 (UTC)


 * Cool, but I should probably tell you that any images you upload to the wiki will need to be sourced. It's a wiki rule as part of the wiki policy. I suggest you add the required information to any images you upload. If you need help with the template and licenses, you can find it here. Also, my advice is to only upload what you will be putting in articles as other images that are unused may be deleted.

The images look cool and some would be good ones to add to articles such as the Sofia and Ezio one :) -- ► Kaloneous ◄♣HelpDesk♣ 17:40, July 3, 2012 (UTC)

Armour of Altaïr
Hey, you know this: I was wondering if you could add colour and half the pic vertically? If you can do this I would really appreciate it. I believe Bogdan has a similar avatar. The Leaping Eagle (talk) 18:28, August 4, 2012 (UTC)
 * I'm don't really kno how to do that but your best best would be to ask Steen or Vatsa. Sorry I can't be of more help Eagle. -- ► Kaloneous ◄♣HelpDesk♣ 18:52, August 4, 2012 (UTC)


 * Alright, I'll try with them. Thanks for helping me on my epic quest. XD The Leaping Eagle (talk) 19:02, August 4, 2012 (UTC)


 * Hey, Kal! Thanks for those pics you posted on my wall. I'll be using the second one once my PC stops pissing around. I appreciate the help. The Leaping Eagle (talk) 19:00, August 6, 2012 (UTC)

Connor Concept Art
Okay, considering you are good with the whole picture finding stuff (I fink) *think, I know. Anyway, I was wondering if you could find a version of this concept art without the whole Pre-order stuff. So basically a version of that pic with just Connor. Oh and wonderful work on the Troll blog! Thanks in advance. I don't mind if you are un able to find it as I myself have been searching for 15mins at which point giving up and telling someone else to do it seems appropriate :P 58.65.152.5 22:38, August 5, 2012 (UTC)

No problem, I will keep an eye out for it and if I see it then I sill post it on the wiki for sure. Although it may not be released until after launch day as some artists just don't release their work until then due to NDAs. -- ► Kaloneous ◄♣HelpDesk♣ 22:51, August 5, 2012 (UTC)

No, Kal. I did not know that. Whoops... The Crimson Eagle (talk) 11:22, August 10, 2012 (UTC)

always heard it refered to as blood eagle, thats what the wikipedia page name is aswell, id have thought most people wont even have heard it anyway, so it does not really matter. 11:39, August 10, 2012 (UTC)

Inactive?
Just thought I point out that it says that you are inactive, while you seem pretty active. Maybe you forgot to remove it? Why so serious? (talk) 08:45, August 11, 2012 (UTC)

It is a "philosophical statement". Right, Kal? ;) The Crimson Eagle (talk) 14:37, August 13, 2012 (UTC)

Cheers from ACMP dev, and some mistake
Hi,

I'm Mathieu Granjon, one of the art directors of assassin's creed brand since 4 years. I'm in charge specially of the multi player, I'm responsible of all the art content and more.

First of all I want to thank you about your job, it's impressive !

I contact you because some people of my team repprort me several false informations abut them and their role in the wiki.

How could we correct all those mistake ?

Thanks again for your work.

Cheers, M. Granjon. 194.2.155.103 14:35, August 13, 2012 (UTC)

Dear Mr. Granjon,

Firstly I would like to apologise for the errors and any inconvenience or annoyance it has caused you and your team. I greatly appreciate and admire the work your team has put into the Assassin's Creed series and I wanted to share that with the wider fanbase. Typically, I try to bring together information from reliable sources such as the person's website or professional profile on Linkedin, however my French is very poor and I am not always as accurate as I should be because of this. If there is specific article or images that are incorrect then you could post their names (or article name) here and I will do my best to clarify and source the information more accurately or if the individual(s) in question do not wish for the articles to be made then I can ask for them to be removed entirely from the wiki.

Again, I apologise for any offense caused and I will do my my best to rectify this to your teams satisfaction. -- ► Kaloneous ◄♣HelpDesk♣ 14:49, August 13, 2012 (UTC)

Concept Art
Hello!

I just wonder where did you get these pictures? http://assassinscreed.wikia.com/wiki/File:Concept_art_of_a_British_Army_encampment.jpg http://assassinscreed.wikia.com/wiki/File:Boston_rooftops.jpg http://assassinscreed.wikia.com/wiki/File:Concept_art_of_Connor_stalking_a_Deer.jpg

The website you mentioned (assassinscreed.ru) doesn't exist :(

Assassin Connor Kenway (talk) 06:38, August 24, 2012 (UTC)Assassin Connor Kenway

Hi ACK, I got them off a tumbler that had the source for the assassinscreed website for Russia (i.e. the russian langauge version of the normal assassinscreed website). It will probably be up in a few hours or a day at most on the English langauge site. I hope that helps :) -- ► Kaloneous ◄♣HelpDesk♣ 06:41, August 24, 2012 (UTC)

Yeah, thanks! And do you have the link to this tumblr page?

Assassin Connor Kenway (talk) 06:56, August 24, 2012 (UTC)Assassin Connor Kenway


 * / .... I found it through Assassin's Secrets tumbler (they are kind enough to borrow a lot of the images I upload here so I like to share like they do) but it wasn't the Assassin's Secret tumbler if you know what I mean, I just clicked on the tags for AC3 and concept arts and it lead me on a journey through tumbler... I doubt I could locate it easily again because my browser deletes my history each time I close it. Sorry. :/ -- ► Kaloneous ◄♣HelpDesk♣ 07:00, August 24, 2012 (UTC)

I see. Thanks you so much! You really helped me :)

Assassin Connor Kenway (talk) 07:05, August 24, 2012 (UTC)

sorry I couldn't be of more help but the images look great and I have seen lower quality ones in magazines so I know they are real. -- ► Kaloneous ◄♣HelpDesk♣ 07:06, August 24, 2012 (UTC)

Renders
I've rendered the promotional images Tamarock uploaded. They're pretty high in quality. Think we can find a good use for them? ;) 02:59, August 26, 2012 (UTC)

Indeed you can, the images would be perfect for an outfit page similar to the ones for AC2, ACB and ACR. But we know so little about the outfits yet but maybe if you wan t you could copy and paste the format into your sandbox of an ACB outfits article and save the images you renders and that way when you know moe you can get to making the outfits page :) great rendering too and I know who to come to when I need it done in the future :D -- ► Kaloneous ◄♣HelpDesk♣ 03:05, August 26, 2012 (UTC)

Anything you need, don't hesitate to ask ;) I've done as you suggested and prepared something in my sandbox. Once it has enough information, I'll move it to the mainspace =D 03:27, August 26, 2012 (UTC)

Yeah I reading over it and its looking great. Hopefully we will know more offical information soon and once you find a source you should add the page even if you have only 2 or 3 outfits because its likely we won't know all of them until after the game is launched. :) -- ► Kaloneous ◄♣HelpDesk♣ 03:33, August 26, 2012 (UTC)

Will do, my friend. Thanks for the idea =) 03:41, August 26, 2012 (UTC)

Achievement 2
I don't want to spoil things for people so I'll leave this with you, if that's no problem. The main reason I think that it's foolish, is because Desmond needs time to bond with him again, in order for his possible death to have any impact. Do you know what I mean? 21:23, August 29, 2012 (UTC)

It's cool, Eagle :) feel free to discuss it openly in the forums, I have asked Sima about it and he says the spolier box is a good enough warning for people and we can talk openly there. I hope you are right about Desmond bonding with him too. -- ► Kaloneous ◄♣HelpDesk♣ 21:26, August 29, 2012 (UTC)

Sarah Natochenny
This is your area of expertise. Mind reviewing it and letting me know whether I did it right? =) 13:08, August 30, 2012 (UTC)

It looks great, it's informative, follows the format, excellent refs and sources and it is concise. The only thing I'd say it that the image could be slightly bigger but then again I am a sucker for a petty face ;) -- ► Kaloneous ◄♣HelpDesk♣ 13:11, August 30, 2012 (UTC)

Thanks. =) There's always the option of cropping the image so there's more emphasis on the pretty face ;) 13:17, August 30, 2012 (UTC)

XD I am messing and the article is great. Great job on finding it and confirming its authenticity. I'd like to hear more of Aveline's voice and get an idea of what its like but this voice actress knows her stuff so I've no doubt it will be great. Thanks for adding this Gabriel :) -- ► Kaloneous ◄♣HelpDesk♣ 13:20, August 30, 2012 (UTC)

Actually, ACsenior found the original source, much like pretty much half the info we have on Liberation and Aveline; I just made/updated the wiki articles. =P She talks a bit during one of the gameplay videos and can pull off French dialogue from what I've heard so far. Her voice seems so different when voicing Aveline, especially because I grew up listening to her voice Ash. Ah, good times =) 13:28, August 30, 2012 (UTC)

Yeah, I can't help but imagine the Ash Ketchum voice XD Great work by both you and ACSenior. AC:L isn't going to be my strong suit but I love learning more about it. :) -- ► Kaloneous ◄♣HelpDesk♣ 13:38, August 30, 2012 (UTC)

Help request
Hi Kal, I just needed some help with images and thought I'd ask you.

The thing is, I was planning on getting some screenshots for the Piazza Navona article, but couldn't find any good spots to take them from, could you please help me? Thanks. Shrt  Fngr Talk  22:07, September 1, 2012 (UTC)

Hmm, I have never seen that in my travels but if I do I will let you know. Vatsa1708 is great at getting screenshots so maybe he will be able to help sooner than I can. Good job spotting that the article needed an image too. :) -- ► Kaloneous ◄♣HelpDesk♣ 22:43, September 1, 2012 (UTC)

Thanks :) gonna ask Vatsa. As for the "Good job spotting that the article needed an image too" part ,well I've got nothing else to do. Shrt  Fngr Talk  22:58, September 1, 2012 (UTC)

Acheivement list edit
Sorry about that, I tried to copy the link, then it did that, then I tried not to save my edits and it did and I'm not that familiar with the new system but I'll get the hang of it eventually. Thanks for corrrecting it though KaiserC (talk) 19:40, September 2, 2012 (UTC)

No Problem KaiserC, these happen and my comment wasn't really directed at you. I'm just a bit grumpy today. I also think you are correct on the kill streaks thing but I guess we will know for sure in 58 days or so. The new Animus Memory Corridor looks cool and is very Crystaline (from other leaked images I have seen), problem is I can't upload leaked stuff since we have no source to confirm them and the wiki prefers sourced stuff where possible. :) Anyways, I'm rambling, no worries on the edit KaiserC :) -- ► Kaloneous ◄♣HelpDesk♣ 20:04, September 2, 2012 (UTC)

Desmond Miles Concept
Hey Kal, I wanted to ask you something: Are you sure this is early concept of AC1? It looks like concept art from at least Brotherhood onwards. I've got some pre-AC1 concept art that I've uploaded here and it looks quite different from this. Just wanted to know what you think about this. 16:20, September 7, 2012 (UTC)

Hi Gabriel, the concept art looks awesome! The one I uploaded is an ACII version so yours is certainly earlier than mine, Well spotted. :) -- ► Kaloneous ◄♣HelpDesk♣ 16:43, September 7, 2012 (UTC)

Connor's Early Outfit
I saw those two pics of Connor's outfit from early development. Am I the only one who thinks it looked incredibly awesome? Nice find man! 18:44, September 20, 2012 (UTC)

I thought the other early dev outfit looked cooler. You know, white and red with what looked like a fur cape over the shoulder. But I prefer the final design though I may recolor it to white and red if they have that option. 19:21, September 20, 2012 (UTC)

I hope they make both of them actual skins for the game though and to be honest I think the both of them are epic looking in their own way.

Fan-manipulattion of Ubi artists Original artwork for the game
Hi! I saw that you upload a work that I did for Assassins Creed Chile, and you take off the page direction, I want know why you do this. I mean, this is almost a steel.

What? I'm sorry, but could you be a bit clearer? 15:15, September 28, 2012 (UTC)

Ah my apologies, I will either recredit the piece or remove it entirely. I should aslo tell you that I have been in contact with the original artist of that piece for article related matters for the wiki and he is not someone who enjoys seeig his artwork manipulated in this way. You may have added the text and manipulated the art piece but you did no create the original artwork.

Now all that is beside the point, I would just ask that in the future you credit the original artist for their work like we do on the wiki. '''Finally, would you like me to recredit the piece or remove it entirely. -- ►  Kaloneous ◄♣HelpDesk♣ 17:22, September 28, 2012 (UTC)'''

Nevermind, I'm going to save the history, ask an admin to delete the image and I will ask you to also be more careful in the future. The art piecce you did was fantastic, I should have sourced it properly too but you need to also credit the original artist in some way too. It may be a case that you don't know the artist name but here on the wiki we follow guidelines that ensure the accreditation of artists for their work and we work with the artists to ensure accuracy when possible. This is done both out of respect for the amazing work and to ensure that the artist intellectual property is secure. Just a tip for the future as it helps build up a good relationship with Ubi, the artists and other sites like the wiki. -- ► Kaloneous ◄♣HelpDesk♣ 17:42, September 28, 2012 (UTC)
