Nomination
hi master i've been doing good on this wiki, aside from a minor mishap, i was wondering if i could be nominated into the Istruttori, so can i? Megahypernova 03:15, September 1, 2010 (UTC)


 * You should actually try and get noticed instead of asking around like this, do some major edits like contributing/creating a whole page towards one of our wiki projects, or ask the Admins/other Istruttore if they need help with something major. Try and get in everyone's good books. It's even better not to ask at all, let the Admins/Cello to decide, mate. :D  The T h i e f 05:38, September 1, 2010 (UTC)


 * i went to the istruttori page and it said i am alowwed to ask for a nomination Mega Hyper Nova  05:46, September 1, 2010 (UTC)
 * ::I never said you weren't aloud, I just said that it would be much more better not to annoy the admins and let them notice you. :P  The T h i e f 06:14, September 1, 2010 (UTC)


 * i've only asked 2 times i wouldn't call that me being like "can i join can i join can i join can i join can i join can i join" and so on, and secondly i've read the rules now so don't expect me to abuse again, thirdly i archived those blemishes on my talk page so that they stay out of the main spotlight, i've been trying to redeem myself since then, and you spreading the word like this isn't helping that, finaly, is there something major that needs help with? Mega Hyper Nova  06:20, September 1, 2010 (UTC)


 * I couldn't agree more with The Thief. Make some major edits to get yourself noticed. For example, check out the Category:Articles revamp and see if you can get yourself noticed by all the admins by revamping some of those articles, or something else if you want to. Besides, I'm not even sure if we need more Istruttore. I'm quite satisfied with the current staff. -- Master Sima Yi 09:17, September 1, 2010 (UTC)

How can you move pictures?


 * I assume that you use the new wikia editing form. If you click the "Source" button on the top right of the editing section, you can use the old editing form. You can place a picture anywhere you want by using codes. If you don't understand it, sorry. I really can't explain stuff. :P -- Master Sima Yi 17:18, September 1, 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for your help

Hey master what do you think with what i did to the Assassin's Tombs article? is it worthy of having the revamp template removed? Mega Hyper Nova 10:50, September 2, 2010 (UTC)


 * Well, yes, in my opinion. Though ask for D. Cello's opinion too. -- Master Sima Yi 10:53, September 2, 2010 (UTC)

problem!
i think that little vandal Ezio27 removed half my article can you restore it to its former glory? Mega Hyper Nova 11:02, September 2, 2010 (UTC)

never mind i didn't notice your edit, should i make a article for the lairs? Mega Hyper Nova 11:04, September 2, 2010 (UTC)

NASA Project
I stumbled upon this article while looking for a pronunciation of Altair's full name.

http://www.spaceref.com/news/viewsr.html?pid=26419

The interesting thing is that NASA is a Templar company while Altair was an assassin. So perhaps they are stealing from the Brotherhood. :)

But it sounds like they are testing a year before the in-game Templars are launching their PoE satellite. Perhaps this is proof of the templars in real life. hahahahaha

The Eagle1701 19:46, September 2, 2010 (UTC)


 * Haha, maybe it is. :P Though this may be good trivia material. -- Master Sima Yi 19:48, September 2, 2010 (UTC)
 * By the way, how do you pronounce Altair's full name. I still haven't been able to find that, not even on our wiki. The Eagle1701 19:52, September 2, 2010 (UTC)
 * Ahl-tah-air Ibn-Lah-Ah-hahd. -- Master Sima Yi 19:55, September 2, 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks. I just thought that the Ibn would have some special pronunciation. The Eagle1701 19:58, September 2, 2010 (UTC)
 * As far as I know, it doesn't. I could be wrong though. -- Master Sima Yi 19:59, September 2, 2010 (UTC)

Me again!!
Sorry i know i know...im anoying!!! the thing is I don't know why every time that I "change" pages...like "form my userpage, to my talk page or somebody else page...LOG ME Out!!! i don't get it..do i need to check on my preferences??? AllyAuditore 22:48, September 2, 2010 (UTC)


 * That's weird. I wouldn't know how that's possible. Perhaps it's your internet browser acting weird. Which one are you using? -- Master Sima Yi 22:49, September 2, 2010 (UTC)
 * Explorer 7....but is funny because this happends only certain hours...and..sometime ...the WIKI PAGES appear to me IN CODE MODE...like numbers letters symbols same colors and everything but looks like someone is making improvements to the page.....and like 20 or 30 minutes later is normal...AllyAuditore 22:56, September 2, 2010 (UTC)


 * I don't know what it could be. Perhaps it's under maintenance. -- Master Sima Yi 22:58, September 2, 2010 (UTC)
 * btw I was reading your user page....about the music...mmmm how old are you???AllyAuditore 23:26, September 2, 2010 (UTC)


 * I'll send you an email about me age. I'm not going to type it here where everyone can see it. :P -- Master Sima Yi 23:28, September 2, 2010 (UTC)
 * Ok..I read it ..ok..I will never betray your trust thank you Master...and yeap...that was a very good music I was very young at that time...AllyAuditore 23:33, September 2, 2010 (UTC)

can you add real life pics of locations and people if they dont appear in any of the games?


 * Yes, like with Nicholas II of Russia. But not with Kyrenia, for example. -- Master Sima Yi 21:21, September 3, 2010 (UTC)

i have now put i game pictures of the locations for you except the alhambra because I couldnt find any.

Pending Istruttori Member
Master Sima Yi! We've considered Mr. Piratehunter as a new member of the Istruttorium. Thing is, adding him to the band wagon without Cello's permission might piss him off. Since you're in charge for the moment, I'd like to here your opinion on the subject. So, what say you? -- War Clown Wanna Talk? 10:37, September 6, 2010 (UTC)


 * Definetly yes. And I'm sure Cello would agree with that. -- Master Sima Yi 14:14, September 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * Alright then :D BTW is there a limit to Istruttori members? -- War Clown Wanna Talk? 10:10, September 7, 2010 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I want to know this also. I think we should stop recruiting around now :P.  The T h i <font color="#200062">e <font color="#2b0059">f 13:12, September 7, 2010 (UTC)


 * I don't think we should recruit any more either. We really have enough now. Though I don't know if Cello has a limit in mind. -- Master Sima Yi 15:35, September 7, 2010 (UTC)

Hi Master Sima Yi I was wondering if you could try and help me become a memeber of the Instruttori and I will respect any decision that you make. Thanks. :) Campbell430 16:50, September 7, 2010 (UTC)


 * Well, did you just fully ignore my post above yours? I honestly don't think we need any more Istruttore. -- Master Sima Yi 17:03, September 7, 2010 (UTC)

@Campbell - Well, they said we're at the limit, so yeah, you get the idea. BTW, is your name based from the soup, or Roy Campbell?

Nah my name isnt based on any of them, but its kinda like Campbell is a popular 2nd name in Scotland, but for me its a first name LOL :D and thnks Master Sima Yi for your help :D Campbell430 19:49, September 9, 2010 (UTC)

@Master Sima Yi - I'm guessing we're at the limit. If we add anymore without Cello knowing, he might get ticked off =P -- War Clown Wanna Talk? 10:04, September 8, 2010 (UTC)

Sourcless Template
Hey Sima,

Would you think it better to replace this with a more, neater and less bulky (IMO) version?

I honestly think that the current sourcless template is waaay to bulky, sourcing is just as important as article stubs, so why does one have to be huge while the other is a small reminder to an editor?

Plus, the template looks horrible on articles, look at the Brotherhood article, it doesn't look that good with two huge badges on the top of it, so if one was small it would be much, much more neater. Do you agree? :D  <font color="#000080">The <font color="#000080">T <font color="#0b0076">h <font color="#15006c">i <font color="#200062">e <font color="#2b0059">f 09:33, September 10, 2010 (UTC)

Also, War, or whoever else is reading this, feel free to voice your opinion. :D  <font color="#000080">The <font color="#000080">T <font color="#0b0076">h <font color="#15006c">i <font color="#200062">e <font color="#2b0059">f 10:27, September 10, 2010 (UTC)


 * Well, yours look cleaner and more compact. The other one is huge, but makes any reader know it immediately, due to its size. So, in the end, my vote goes to yours :D -- War Clown Wanna Talk? 10:35, September 10, 2010 (UTC)


 * Yours looks better, I agree. I don't like those big templates at the top of the page, it distracts way too much. And for those who won't see that template on top of the page, they should get glasses. So, yes, my vote goes to yours as well. Though ask for Cello's opinion too. -- Master Sima Yi 13:13, September 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * Okay, I guess. I'll wait 5 or so days until he comes back then..  <font color="#000080">The <font color="#000080">T <font color="#0b0076">h <font color="#15006c">i <font color="#200062">e <font color="#2b0059">f 13:28, September 10, 2010 (UTC)

hey master yima, i found the secong dev diary on youtube, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pm7cPxAdoto. DanMan7308 21:09, September 10, 2010 (UTC) DanMan7308


 * Thanks for letting me know about that, man. However, I don't really have the time to post it on the main page. Maybe Cello has. -- Master Sima Yi 13:07, September 12, 2010 (UTC)

New Welcome Box
Hello there Sima. I thought I'd hear your opinion on this new welcome box I've been working on. Cello commissioned it some time ago, but only got around making it a week ago. Here's what I came up with.

(Note: Thief if you're even reading this, the collapsible idea didn't really work as well as it sounded, so I wasn't able to make it. Sorry =/)

And there. Ain't it awesome? Please tell me what you think :D -- War Clown Wanna Talk? 11:06, September 12, 2010 (UTC)


 * As you said: Ain't it awesome? -- Master Sima Yi 13:07, September 12, 2010 (UTC)
 * So, I'm guessing you like it, yes? So should I go tell Cello about it then? He's still on vacation....-- War Clown Wanna Talk? 13:17, September 12, 2010 (UTC)

renaming of titles
I saw you renamed AC brotherhood. I can understand the logic in it. To me it doesn't matter either way. But other titles such as Assassin's Creed: Bloodlines should also be renamed imo so they fit together. Or we change Brotherhood back to its original. After all what does it matter. It's just a title. What matters is that these articles are easy to be found. Altaïr 20:33, September 12, 2010 (UTC)


 * We also strive for accuracy, including titles. Ubisoft always refers to it as "Assassin's Creed Brotherhood", not "Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood". And yes, we should also do the same for the others. Only problems are the categories, they're going to have to be replaced with new ones. -- Master Sima Yi 18:48, September 12, 2010 (UTC)
 * Does one colon really matter, though? :P We've got the colon in most of the other titles, articles, categories, other games, links, redirects already. You're going to need to rename them all just for one little thing? XD Colons in titles are meant to seperate the episode from the series, so I'm not sure myself why Ubi doesn't have a colon (It really should/must have a colon [Wikipedia], even though we strive for accuracy, I just think Patrice doesn't understand what a colon is, lmao. XD)..  <font color="#000080">The <font color="#000080">T <font color="#0b0076">h <font color="#15006c">i <font color="#200062">e <font color="#2b0059">f 22:28, September 12, 2010 (UTC)


 * Why SHOULD it have a colon? There are no rules for game titles. -- Master Sima Yi 14:29, September 13, 2010 (UTC)
 * Hm.. okay, I guess. :P Well, since that one is renamed, I guess the others need renaming too. That's alot of categories, redirects, double redirects, article fixes we have to do, you know? x_x  <font color="#000080">The <font color="#000080">T <font color="#0b0076">h <font color="#15006c">i <font color="#200062">e <font color="#2b0059">f 22:21, September 13, 2010 (UTC)


 * Yeah, I'm trying to find out how to use a bot so that that could do the recategorization. And f*ck the double redirects. Just delete them. -- Master Sima Yi 14:20, September 14, 2010 (UTC)
 * Haha, well good luck then. I'll help around removing colons on the many articles featuring ACB, then.. BRB >:)  <font color="#000080">The <font color="#000080">T <font color="#0b0076">h <font color="#15006c">i <font color="#200062">e <font color="#2b0059">f 21:59, September 14, 2010 (UTC)
 * Well, I can't seem to find out how those bots work. I think it's best that we move it back... Otherwise a whole lot of unnecessary work will need to be done. -- Master Sima Yi 14:09, September 16, 2010 (UTC)

The new date for the beta
Hi Sima, I found out that the beta release has been post poned by three weeks on October 4th. http://assassinscreed.uk.ubi.com/brotherhood/news/11815.html So um I think it should be noted for anyone who registered for it. Lunatic <font color="6666CC"> Enlighten Me 03:13, September 13, 2010 (UTC)

Assassin's Creed
Hi, Master Sima Yi, I'm Lord David the creator of the Spanish Assassin's Creed Wiki, and I would like to talk and maybe link both wikis so they could be the same system.--Lord David 19:46, September 17, 2010 (UTC)

Hi Lord David, I see that you have just created your wiki and i'm afraid we have a very active Spanish version already, if you want to help the Assassin's Creed Wiki I reccomend you migrate to the current, most active Spanish version,

(Hola señor David, veo que usted acaba de crear su wiki e i' m asustado tenemos un muy activo versión española de ya, si usted quiere ayudar al Assassin' credo Wiki de s le recomiendo emigro a la corriente, la mayoría de la versión española activa,)

and to Master Sima, I also think we should link to the 'first' Spanish wiki on our frontpage aswell. :)  <font color="#000080">The <font color="#000080">T <font color="#0b0076">h <font color="#15006c">i <font color="#200062">e <font color="#2b0059">f 23:58, September 17, 2010 (UTC)


 * I agree with The Thief. -- Master Sima Yi 09:10, September 18, 2010 (UTC)


 * I speak English perfectly, anyway thanks for the comment. Unfortunately, I didn't know there were other wikis and I already begun working in the one I created, so let's see if I can do better.--Lord David 19:54, September 18, 2010 (UTC)

Savonarola's Lieutenants
Hey Master-Sima-Yi. :D

I'm just leaving this note here as to inquire why the lieutenants' titles were moved to start with a lowercase?

Because, in this case, the names should be capitals, due to the fact that it's a title given by Savonarola and not an average job/civilian type of thing. Since we don't know their real names, we'd have to go by the respective title given by Sav and in-game canon. They are not 'an average civilian', they are 'The Civilian'. For instance, we don't call The Fox (La Volpe), The fox (La volpe), right?, if it's a title someone is known by, like 'The Old Man of the Mountain', then most words (excluding average words; like of and a) should be capitals.

What do you think? :P  <font color="#000080">The <font color="#000080">T <font color="#0b0076">h <font color="#15006c">i <font color="#200062">e <font color="#2b0059">f 00:22, September 19, 2010 (UTC)


 * Those names aren't given at all in the game. It just says, for example, "Assassinate the beguilded artist.", nothing about "The Painter". But if you really think so, you can move them back. -- Master Sima Yi 08:20, September 19, 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks for replying, I will move them back. Most other nicknames are capitalized, like La Volpe. And I think it's also better presentation-wise. TBH short-named articles with lowercased starting word letters look really weird, but that's my opinion, thanks again. :D  <font color="#000080">The <font color="#000080">T <font color="#0b0076">h <font color="#15006c">i <font color="#200062">e <font color="#2b0059">f 09:20, September 19, 2010 (UTC)

hi, is it just me or is the Ac Brotherhood pic section a bit crowded? Campbell430 18:39, September 22, 2010 (UTC)


 * Yes, it is. But we can change that some time after the game released. -- Master Sima Yi 18:42, September 22, 2010 (UTC)

Cosimo de' Medici article deletion
Sima, can I ask why you deleted the Cosimo de' Medici article? I mainly wish to know because that will have now added a redlink onto the Giovanni Auditore da Firenze article. -- Jasca Ducato Council Chamber Assassination record 21:03, September 22, 2010 (UTC)
 * Because Cosimo didn't have any important role in the game, none at all. You can add a link to the wikipedia article, though. -- Master Sima Yi 21:05, September 22, 2010 (UTC)
 * But he's mentioned in the game, that should be more than enough. We have an article for Ilario Auditore, Lucrezia Borgia, Vanozza dei Cattenei, Adolf Hitler, Harry Houdini, all the Glyph characters in fact. I fail to see how Cosimo is any different. -- Jasca Ducato Council Chamber Assassination record 21:09, September 22, 2010 (UTC)
 * I agree with Ducato here.. there might also be a possibilty that they'll shine some light on the Medici in Brotherhood.  <font color="#000080">The <font color="#000080">T <font color="#0b0076">h <font color="#15006c">i <font color="#200062">e <font color="#2b0059">f 00:15, September 23, 2010 (UTC)

New Istruttori Promotion Concept
Hey Sima. I've been creating concepts on my sandbox for a new way to nominate potential Istruttori members. The concept is based on how we vote for Good and Featured Articles, and so far I think the idea is coming along pretty well. Assuming you're still an Istruttore, I humbly ask you to check this out and review what I've made. Please vote for the two beta subjects. Be it positive or negative, it matters not. Subsequently, give your opinion on the section below the two subjects. Thanks a plenty :D -- War Clown Wanna Talk? 13:41, September 29, 2010 (UTC)

Daniel Cross
Hey Master Sima, I have an image of Daniel Cross from The Fall's issue #1 comic that we can use as a placeholder image for him, but I'm not sure how to add it to the template on the side of his page (and honestly, I want to so the page can both have an image, even as a placeholder for a better one, and so I can get my picture achievement. It's for a good cause, after all.), can you help?

Edit: Nevermind Master Sima. I figured it out, but now the picture is four times bigger than the origional upload. Umm?

Assassin-Rayne 15:50, October 3, 2010 (UTC)


 * There's nothing I can do about that. That's the standard lenght of the image. -- Master Sima Yi 16:46, October 3, 2010 (UTC)
 * Ahh. Thanks for clarifying up that whole image deal, Master Sima. But for future wiki editing reference, how do you add a character image to the side template without it doing what Cross' image did? Assassin-Rayne 17:10, October 3, 2010 (UTC)
 * What you did was right. But the image stretched because the length it took was the smallest possible length for images in that template: there was nothing that could be done about it. -- Master Sima Yi 17:32, October 3, 2010 (UTC)
 * Ah, okay then. I understand, thanks for the clarification, Master Sima. Assassin-Rayne 20:03, October 3, 2010 (UTC)
