Medal Wrong-ings
I don't think these people do it on purpose, but they add random spaces to certain articles (or it might be a fault in the wiki), and on the timeline made over 25 edits just adding periods to the end of the sentences, he added these periods seperatley and individually and got more points (IE: Add period to sentence > Save Page > Add period to another sentence > Save Page > repeated about 20 times), this has resulted in him gaining the timeline medals and 50 + edit medal. When he acts normally he has some good information and great edits, but this is a bit unfair.

Similiar actions is adding (a lot of) links (This is to the timeline also), instead of adding a group of links at once, he adds one, then saves, then adds one again, etc.

Perhaps these guys don't know they're doing something bad, because their other edits are pretty good and helpful, maybe these guys don't know that you can edit the whole page at once instead of pressing edit on the sub headings, then saving, then pressing edit on another sub heading. Maybe you should give them a warning or something, I only ask this because it's unfair on users who actually add information. :)

Edit: For some reason my post gets merged with another, so I'm posting my text here I hope you don't mind. >.<

Thanks in advance,

Wiki Policies
Sure, Cello. I'll give it a shot. :D

How much do you think I should write on each page? Just a moderate amount or short but sweet amount? Thief  talk  23:19, July 23, 2010 (UTC)
 * Write it clearly, write it reasonable and write it direct. It is official wiki business, and I'll review your text while you do it. Keep in mind there is no hurry for it. -- D. Cello 23:21, July 23, 2010 (UTC)
 * I just finished the Revelancy and the Achievements articles, tell me what you think. :D, by the way, should the name be changed to Revelancy and Repetition? Thief   talk  00:13, July 24, 2010 (UTC)

Finished with AC:Bloodlines' Story
Safety and Peace. I'm finally finished making out the storyline for AC:Bloodlines. Please tell me what you think after checking it out. Here, I'll help you pick which to look at first: Eenie, Meenie, Minie,....uh....that's it :D War Clown 10:06, June 27, 2010 (UTC)

No replies.....was it something I said? War Clown 07:24, June 28, 2010 (UTC) I must say, War, the pages look awesome. You really got the hang of this XD The main pictures fit perfectly the concept of the article and the formatting is good. Fantasticly done ;D -- D. Cello 17:01, June 28, 2010 (UTC)
 * No, no... I was just very, very, very busy this weekend. Parties, new girlfriend, football championship, I must have slept like, 10 hours in two days. x.x
 * You're too kind :D anyway, I can't do further damage to those articles so might as well sum up more of the story lines. If there's some stuff missing on the articles, just let me know :D War Clown 11:07, June 29, 2010 (UTC)
 * War, the article Duel in Rome can give us problem. First, it doesn't seem to be a duel, but more of a minor engagement. Ezio fight with Rodrigo could be classified as a duel and it also happened in Rome. Plus, Brotherhood will be in Rome and there will probably be more duels in that too. We need to do something about that title. -- D. Cello 16:43, June 29, 2010 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I got the same impression after I summarized it, but that can be arranged. I'll just turn it into an event, change its name, and adjust a few things that need tweaking. I'll let you know once the adjustments are finished War Clown 03:31, June 30, 2010 (UTC)
 * And done. All fixed, tell me what you think War Clown 04:02, June 30, 2010 (UTC)

The Hidden Blade
'The Hidden Blade' is actually a website, non-official. Someone made an article of it. It's to help people with the gameplay. Problem is if someone searches for the hidden blade, as in the weapon itstself, they'll come across this site and not the weapon. So you can see where the problem lies. Someone proposed to make a new category around these wbesites, but I wonder... Is that necessary? Do we really need articles around these fansites? -- Altaïr 21:14, ?June 27, 2010 (UTC)
 * When I search hidden blade, it goes to the weapon's article not the site. But indeed, we should change it. Maybe just create a page with fanlinks only. -- D. Cello 02:31, June 28, 2010 (UTC)

I think it depends on what you type. Cause if I type 'Hidden Blade' I get to the weapon too. However if I type 'The Hidden Blade' I get to the site. That's the difference and visitor of this site will probably use both if they want to find the weapon. So should I alter it to 'fansite: 'The hidden blade'? Or do you have better suggestions. -- Altaïr 21:14, ?June 27, 2010 (UTC)
 * Maybe we already have it (if not we can create it), but my idea would be like making an article about Links and sites, and inside the article we would make divisions about official links, fansites and any other external thing that appears. What you think? -- D. Cello 17:04, June 28, 2010 (UTC)

sup man! thx for giving me a warm welcome, im a big fan of assassin creed series and would love to help out, before i became a user i always came here to help me understand the storyline better, im new here (u already knew that) and would appreacatie it if u show me the ropes.DanMan7308 13:28, June 28, 2010 (UTC)DanMan7308 Read the sections, give it a try, and bring any questions to me, okay? ;D -- D. Cello 17:04, June 28, 2010 (UTC)
 * Well, actually, that box full of links in your talk page was exactly for that: give you a guideline to base your edits if your new here XD

That was the best welcome message ever...lol ~Gotlex? :&#93; 05:44, July 1, 2010 (UTC)

Question?
How do i add my picture i mean i have pictures but no Picture like the one that shows up when i post a comment and My user picture

Auditor(e) 23:11, July 2, 2010 (UTC)
 * Via the preferences menu under the "MORE" link on top of your page. -- D. Cello 04:25, July 3, 2010 (UTC)

Okay thanks D Auditor(e)

hey, i just want to apolize in advance in case my edits dont make sense, this website helped me so much and the last thing i want to do to it is harm it, im reading all the stubs articles and trying to make it better, also how do i do the thing that says things like "this user likes to sleep"?DanMan7308 15:51, July 3, 2010 (UTC)DanMan7308
 * Forum:Presenting: Userboxes! -- D. Cello 16:30, July 3, 2010 (UTC)

Pictures!
I have quite alot of pictures for the gondola and i just created an Article on them it needs alot of work though i also uploaded a Minstrel image to the Civilians page

Auditor(e) 05:06, July 4, 2010 (UTC) Just remember to always provide a license (indicating that you took the image from a game) and categorizing it correctly. ;D -- D. Cello 05:27, July 4, 2010 (UTC)
 * that's good, Lucan. =]

Um wait so dont put the license that says: I took this picture? and how do i categorize pics again? Auditor(e)

RE:Userboxes
You want them official? Alright, Cool! But we should remove the "PS3" part, because some people play on different consoles :D War Clown 06:10, July 4, 2010 (UTC)
 * I was actually gonna say you to make 3 different boxes for each game XD But that's an option too. -- D. Cello 14:43, July 4, 2010 (UTC)
 * 3 versions? What, for all the consoles? I think it would be better if the box just said "This user has cleared Assassin's Creed. Now shut up and get back to work" XD. But really, 3 versions? Which would you prefer between the two? War Clown 12:09, July 5, 2010 (UTC)
 * Your first Idea was easier than I thought, It's finish. While I'm at it, I also made some for the DS ACs. Here it is. Please tell me what you think :D War Clown 13:22, July 6, 2010 (UTC)

Um, I had to remove it, because it was messing up your talk page. How will I present it to you without making a mess? War Clown 13:31, July 6, 2010 (UTC) Yeah, that was the easy part (looks good). Now we need to create the templates XD -- D. Cello 18:39, July 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * User:D. Cello/sandbox/guest~
 * By the way, nice set of guidelines on your page ;D We may think about making them official too. This wiki has a shortage of policies, it runs pretty much on my command. Okay, okay, "but you're awesome", you will say, and I'll have to agree with that. But even then, it would be good if we have a place where users can check the guidelines when they're in doubt. -- D. Cello 18:42, July 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * Ah, War. If you haven't yet, read the "Projects! Bring me projects!" section in my page. There's a job for you there ;D -- D. Cello 05:46, July 7, 2010 (UTC)
 * You want me to make some cheesecakes? XD I can barely make eggs! Wait...I have an idea....I'll be right back! War Clown 09:37, July 7, 2010 (UTC)

And there! Go check out the sandbox, there's a new userbox I put in there. Happy eating XD War Clown 10:23, July 7, 2010 (UTC)
 * Hahaha... awesome XD -- D. Cello 16:46, July 7, 2010 (UTC)

Um I made a userbox about Courtesans, but I didn't ask for you permission if I can add it as a template so you may need to remove it in the meantime. --a Lunatic 06:34, July 8, 2010 (UTC) You can create how many userboxes you like, but Template ones are official and must be approved by one of the admins/Istruttori. -- D. Cello 12:18, July 8, 2010 (UTC)
 * Nah, it's ok. But you're not a staff member anymore, you have to ask permission for this kind of thing.

Yeah I wasn't aware of this until shortly after I made it, is it okay if I tweak my template it a bit? a Lunatic 18:33, July 8, 2010 (UTC)
 * Sure, since it's already created, you can do anything with it. ;D -- D. Cello 18:34, July 8, 2010 (UTC)

How do I
Create like a tab thing so my Userboxes dont show unless i press the button or is that not possible?

Aaaall the doubts you may have can be answered here. If I must say, your personal pages are a complete format mess, and it would take far too long to try to explain everything to you. Read the help wikia, and if even that way you still have answers, come to me. Or Sima or Altaïr or other staff member that is online. -- D. Cello 00:58, July 5, 2010 (UTC)

Ok thanks I will check it out now

Auditor(e) 00:59, July 5, 2010 (UTC)

Okay I cant be bothered my Userpage looks like someone eating all colors of sweets threw up on it im gonna delete all my custom userboxes apart from 1 or 2 ill copy paste them so i can put them back if i need to

Auditor(e)

Yeah, that would be better. It would be way easier for you to just remake your entire page rather than trying to fix it. You do know how the userboxes work, right? -- D. Cello 20:08, July 5, 2010 (UTC)

Yeah mostly im not the best but im pretty good at them...i think anyway most of the userboxes are gone and its looking much better i just have a few more to delete

Auditor(e) 21:02, July 5, 2010 (UTC)

why am i blocked?
why did you block me? im not sure what i did and i would really like to know

my user name is verr0chi0 and i couldnt contact you on my account because, ya know im blocked and all

when i try to do stuff i get this:

The block was made by D. Cello. Contact me if you need anything. Happy editing, and welcome back. -- D. Cello 04:31, July 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * Reason given: Vandalism
 * Start of block: 04:14, July 1, 2010
 * Expiry of block: 04:14, July 1, 2011
 * Intended blockee: Verr0cchi0
 * Block ID: #270
 * Current IP address: 74.173.103.130
 * I checked the datablock, and three of your edits were continuous messing of Ezio's page, and two of your comments in blogs were somewhat mistaken by vandalism. The day in question saw the wiki suffer several attempts at vandalism, all blocked, revert and prevented, but your name and ip went down the toilet with the other vandals. I lifted the block and you're back on full access. Sorry for that, but I'm sure you understand. ;D

oh ok thanks a lot and just for the record: aside from adding one picture to ezios page

i only tried to erase on of the things vandalizing the page

i actually made a new profile anyways

Giovanni Auditore da Firenze (multiplayer character)
I hope It's okay to post this... Well, we don't even know if there is Giovanni Auditore in ACBH, there is no proof of it anywhere. Someone just edited ACBH page and wrote his name as a multiplayer character/singleplayer skin. Then talks about Giovanni in ACBH started and it is completely possible that he is in ACBH but not as a multiplayer character (which makes no sense) but as a singleplayer skin (which is completely logical). And then I saw that someone created a page about Giovanni as a multiplayer character. As far as I know, you can't create a page about something without proof. I think the page should be deleted and if we get some evidence about Giovanni really being in ACBH re-create the page. Andro69 12:54, July 9, 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks, mate. I deleted the page. Feel free to revert any other edit of the kind until we got confirmation that Giovanni will appear *at all*. -- D. Cello 17:34, July 9, 2010 (UTC)
 * Okay, just glad I could help. Andro69 20:23, July 9, 2010 (UTC)

contest
hey man, i never been a member in any type of wiki so im not sure if we can do this but do u want to create a contest? each user (if they want) has to create thier own assassin with thier own personailty and thier own backround, and has to say how or why they became assassins, then the high ranking staff (like u) become's the judges and decide who wins, but u cant vote for your own assassin, if this idea seems stupid to u we dont have to do it, i just thought it would be cool to share our own views of assassins and maybe get to know eachother more, agian im not sure if we can do this thing at a wiki but i think it would be funDanMan7308 21:38, July 9, 2010 (UTC)DanMan7308
 * Thing is: this is a encyclopedia about the game. Means that everything here is canon and official i nthe game series. We are in the process of implementing a fan area in the site, and when that's done, we can have anything from fanfics to contests like you suggested. But right now, we don't actually have a place for it =/ -- D. Cello 01:28, July 10, 2010 (UTC)

It should be, both games were awesome, although it'll probably be set further in the future. User:TheBag84

P.S. how do i change my avatar picture?

@TheBag84: Go to My home at the top of the and slide your mouse to your current avatar. A text (change) will appear. Click it, then slide down the page until you find Avatar written. Then just upload the picture you want to have as your avatar. After that slide down the page again and click save changes. Hope it helps.

P.S.: Sorry, D. Cello, for writing this here. I know I should write in the user's talk page, but I've forgotten. Sorry, I'll be more careful next time. Andro69 16:46, July 12, 2010 (UTC)
 * No problem, mate. I don't mind. -- D. Cello 17:57, July 12, 2010 (UTC)

An Idea
While me and Altair were discussing about the vandalism on the Templars page, Altair hatched an idea about preventing the need for a serious repair on a page that is vandalized repeatedly. He said that we should keep the source code for the wiki's longer articles (AC1, AC2, Brotherhood, Templars, Assassins, those articles) so that if another rain of vandalism were to happen again, we'd save a lot of time by just doing a copy/paste of the code we saved.

For a better explanation, check Altair's Talkpage (The Knights Templar Section) War Clown 15:09, July 15, 2010 (UTC)

Question
Well, it's also about that vandalism. The thing is that anyone can edit this wiki, which is not good (at least not if you ask me). On Wikipedia you must create an account to edit, and I think it would be good to do the same here. If unregistered users wouldn't be able to edit then no vandalism would occur (except vandalism made by registered users, but this way the now large number of vandalism edits would greatly decrease).

So my question: Is it possible to make this wiki open for edit only to registered users?

P.S.: If it's not possible, then I agree with War Clown and support his suggestion.

Andro69 17:46, July 15, 2010 (UTC)
 * Actually, it is. We'll think about it, and I'll answer here shortly. -- D. Cello 19:46, July 15, 2010 (UTC)
 * I'd like to support this idea. I mean we have seen unregistered contributors correcting or inserting information. But if they correct things, then they care... And if they care surely it's not a problem for them to register. This will save us a lot of hasssle with vandalism. -- Altaïr 22:45, July 15,2010 (UTC)

Well, it would be good to make this as soon as possible since vandalism is getting really big on pages like Lucy Stillman, the Courtesan and the Knights Templar. Andro69 12:15, July 16, 2010 (UTC) "It's much harder to build the community on a wiki that blocks anonymous users. This is because many first time visitors will try out the site before logging and creating an account. Forcing people to log in first can put people off and slow the growth of your wiki."
 * Well, I contacted wikia to discuss our options, since I don't think it was the better idea (like I denied this suggestion three times in the past already). Turns out they share my views, their answer was:

- Wendy

While it is possible for me to lock the wiki, they don't reccomend it. Wendy pointed out that instead of locking the wiki, we tried the Vandalism Task Force first, so instead of locking everything, we report vandals to them and they block their whole IP range. And honestly, guys, we're not wikipedia or wookiepedia, who have thousands of users and can lock for anons for a time without experiencing a significant bump. The job of the staff IS to mantain the wiki. Our sole purpose is to keep users interactions good and the wiki on tracks, and reverting vandals is part of the maintenace part. There are some users who help us in that, and their actions don't go unnoticed either. This wiki was always open for any and all who wanted to help, and I'm keeping it this way. So no anon block for now. -- D. Cello 17:05, July 16, 2010 (UTC)
 * I agree that it might discourage people to become members of this wiki of they are blocked, so yeah let's just try to maintain the wiki the old-fashion way. Just try to beat the vandalist as fast as possible before they can do more damage. I still think it wouldn't be a bad idea to make back-ups of some articles. I'll see to it myself to make it easier for myself when I'm back in Belgium --Altaïr 18:19, July 16,2010 (UTC)
 * It's completely cool with anyone who wants to make backups to do so. It just isn't necessary. Remember to block the vandals always, preferably for a year. -- D. Cello 17:21, July 16, 2010 (UTC)

Hi D. Cello
well btw..im on the ALWAYS ALLOWED...on your page was this "p.s. something" about SINGLE GIRLS ARE ALWAYS ALLOW, so....you got the picture! hahahahaha =)

The thing is, I know a few people anxious to know everything about AC but in SPANISH. so I was thinking, just translate a couple of basic pages like The story, the characters, things like that...I speak spanish if you need ANY ( ***and I mean Any***) help...

So...see ya!!!

Allyauditore 22:43, July 15, 2010 (UTC)AllyAuditore
 * I'm afraid that's not possible, sweetheart. =/ As the main AC Wiki on net, we are the main source for all, and the universal language is english, after all. Adding a translation to the articles would be duplicate information and mess the formatting, something that wouldn't be good neither for our spanish readers as well for our english readers. Some time ago, the admin of the spanish Assassin's Creed wiki came to me and asked permission to translate our texts and use our pictures, which of course I granted =] (we must help our spanish hermanos). Since their source material is from us, you can be sure it's good quality. =] So direct your spanish-reading friends to there and your english-able friends here. ;D You seem to have a good english hold to, so you can stay around. -- D.

Other wikis like Dead Risng or Red Dead Redemption have points for contributing and get rewarded but we only have a counter for our contributions.Why can't we have achievements/points like them?We sincerely ask you to do something about it.If you like you can visit my blog to see people's ideas.If you can please tell us your idea at my blog.Thanks.

We need
I think we need an assassination page detailing all the assassinations in the game like the Ledge assassination and the running assassination and maybe a video how to do them just an idea.

Image Editing Apply
Hey Cello, I saw your comment, what do you want me to do? I'm pretty good with Image Editing programs :D. Thief  talk  06:33, July 21, 2010 (UTC) And you already did them square, but to let you know: THe picutre has to be squared and center to not get chopped off in the system ;D Nice job, Thief. Keep at it! -- D. Cello 13:26, July 21, 2010 (UTC)
 * Hey Thief. Thanks for your prompt answer. If you look at then badges names, you'll see I already changed a few. We would nedd new medals. We could either use the star thing that the default has and change the middle, or do other thing (like maybe make ones similar to how medals are stylized, with the Mark of Cain and the Assassin's symbols on it). Do you have any ideas on that matter, mate? -- D. Cello 06:54, July 21, 2010 (UTC)
 * Alright, how about i'll give you a few icons that are of the same size as the normal medals and you can pick and choose which ones you want to use in replacement, if you have any pictures you want made into certain medals just send me them. :D Thief   talk  07:26, July 21, 2010 (UTC)
 * Sure, that works too. -- D. Cello 07:27, July 21, 2010 (UTC)
 * Ive made about 50 or so icons, all classified as a 'Silver' ranked medal. If I had of done gold and bronze versions of all these and you didn't like some, it would be a waste. Here's what I need you to do; I want you to, if you can, list down the filename of the pictures and the rank (ie; icon6 - bronze rank, icon5 - gold, etc..) you want me to convert to and i'll do it.

 * Click on 'Free user', then just wait 30 seconds and then the download button should appear.

 * Edit: I'll probably add a Maysaf guard, an Informant medal and perhaps a Herald picture medal too soon.
 * Hey those medals look pretty good ^^ Yeah, add those in the lot too. Btw, you saw that medals have rank too? Some are bronze (worth 10), others silver (word 50) and others gold (worth 100), and some special ones platinum (worth I don't know how many)? Do you think you can change the outer ring to feature that? (bronze medals with bronze rings, silver medals with silver rings, etc?)

 * Yeah, like I said before I done them all Silver (50) so I wouldn't waste my time with other versions if you didn't like them. Now you tell me which pictures you want made into other rings so type the file name and then next to it the rank you want and I will change the outer layer. :D
 * Here's an example;
 * Icon7 - Bronze
 * Thanks,
 * EDIT: Ive got some time on my hands for the next handful of hours if you want to tell me which icons to convert. :)

 * Hey, Just noticed you already converted most of them. They're looking good.
 * Well, hope my medals came in handy to you. They look pretty awesome. :D

 * sigh* I've been a target for vandalism and crude explotation lately. Anyway Marcello is there a chance to retrieve my old account by getting the password reset to a different e-mail? If not, my old account can be deleted since there's no chance of me getting it back anymore. Lunatic  Enlighten Me 13:57, July 21, 2010 (UTC)

I tried many times before but my password doesn't work to open my account or my old e-mail. =( Lunatic  Enlighten Me 19:19, July 21, 2010 (UTC)

RE: Achievements
Wiki admins cannot manually give achievements, but what you can do that's kind of similar (as seen in the "Create a new Edit track" section of Special:AchievementsCustomize) is to create a set of achievements for any category the wiki uses. So for example if you wanted to give extra rewards for people editing articles about Brotherhood, you could create a new edit track for the Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood category. I know that's not exactly you want, but hopefully it's better than nothing. I will mention that you are not the only admin who has asked for letting admins manually give out special achievements to worthy editors, so if enough people ask for it, maybe that feature will appear in a future iteration of the achievements system.

Move over redirects
D. Cello, I've noticed that you reverted my page move for the article Hunt on Venice, however you failed to give any reason whatsoever for your doing so. I would like to point out that this is the second such time you have done so, without enquiring of me as to why I moved the pages in the first place. I feel I have to remind you that, although you may be the founder of this wiki, it isn't your private property, and as such simply reverting such a major addition as a page move, without a reason, bye or leave, is considered extremly rude. That all said, I would like to remind you as to my reasons for moving not only this article, but the previous article as well – Retaking of Masyaf.

In both cases, the original names are POV, and biased towards to playable character, which for a encyclopedic entry is not proper. In the case of the article, "Retaking of Masyaf", you are assuming that not only has Al Mualim actually 'taken' Masyaf from it's previous inhabitant (which is impossible considering he is the previous inhabitant), but also that Altaïr acted to 'retake' the city, instead of simply entering the city and dueling Al Mualim. With regards to the second such page move, in this case the "Hunt on Venice", I feel the first reason I should point out is that it is a grammatically incorrect title, which I clearly indicated as such in my reasoning for moving the page. My second reason remains the same as my original page move, bias; the term "hunt on" is unnecessarily POV, the title "Ezio's journey to Venice" is not only more descriptive, but also neutral in terms.

Now, as you have moved both pages over a redirect, and I am not an admin on this wiki, I am unable to simply revert your reverts, which I admit I had considered doing, without manually moving the pages over. So I am asking you to either return these articles to the neutral titles, or provide an arguement for your keeping them at this biased titles. Thank you. -- Jasca Ducato Council Chamber Assassination record 19:31, July 21, 2010 (UTC)
 * Glad to see you still live, Jasca =]
 * Relating to the page moves: Lots of users edited those pages, and no one ever felt the need to change the article's name. You, on the other way, just came by and without even a message on the talpages, moved it to something you tought was neutral. So, for each respective article:


 * Masyaf is a city, not a private property. The castle is private, the city is a village. Al Mualim took control of it's inhabitants' minds and controled the city. Altaïr went in to confront his master, but did not expect to find the town in that state. He fought the guards, and the other fre assassins arived. While Altair ALONE fought Al Mualim, the other assassins stormed the fortress and recaptured it from the controled guards. If that is not a conquest (or a reconquest), or as put in the article, a retaking of what as already theirs, then I don't know what it was. Masyaf belonged to the Order, not to Al Mualim. He only ruled it. The assassins loyal to the creed recaptured it for the order. So it was a retaking. A duel is a POV statement in a very small scale compared to what happened.
 * Hunt on Venice is a nice name. "Ezio's journey to Venice" sounds lame. That's my only point. What to change the name? Cool, just ask on the talkpage first. Except for typos, even *we* admins leave messages in the talkpages before moving an article. Why can't you? and btw, a journey isn't exactly a major event (is more of a quest), while a Hunt is. Anyway, that is with the Timeline project department, so for deeper discussions, refer to WarClown. He's the chief editor there and responsible for 70% of our growth in that category, he's the guy in charge for events.
 * And about reverting edits, I gave you rollback rights, didn't I? -- D. Cello 19:51, July 21, 2010 (UTC)
 * Yes, I'm still alive. But to counter your two points, nowhere on the article "Retaking of Masyaf" is there any mention about the Assassins retaking the city. The text stops at the end of the section entitled "The Duel"; and calling something a duel is not POV, and I fail to see how it is. As for the Hunt on Venice, I didn't leave a message in the talk page because I didn't feel it was necessary. The article had only been created fourty-seven minutes beforehand, I was the second editor and I was not only correcting a grammatical error, but providing a more descriptive name. "Ezio's journey to Venice" may sound "lame", but it's better then what it's at now. That all said, I see your point with talking to WarClown, and will do so shortly. -- Jasca Ducato Council Chamber Assassination record 20:13, July 21, 2010 (UTC)
 * The article is in development, so it's reasonanle to expect info to be missing. And yes, a duel is a POV. If you focus in two combatatents fighting in troy, you will see a duel. If you pan back 50 yards, you will see a battle. If you pan back 40km, you will see a fullscale blow-out war. And again, about the Venice event: "I didn't leave a message in the talk page because I didn't feel it was necessary." Your oppinion, mate. If you feel the hunt doesn't represent the true event meaning, suggest other. We need a lot of help on the projects, feel free to do it ;D -- D. Cello 20:20, July 21, 2010 (UTC)

False accusations
A user by the name of Neoluna is making false accusations about me on her user page. I don't know why she is saying this about me, but it would be nice if she could stop. CloudFantasyVII 00:26, July 23, 2010 (UTC)CFVII
 * She stil supports her accusations toward you. I don't know if they are true, nor do I care, but if they are, think over your life, kid. Anyway, it's on her suerpage, and she's not directly offending or cursing you, so it's allowed while it's civil as part of her own page privacy right. If she offeds you, I'll ask her to remove it. If you want her to remove now, ask her directly. Wheter you have a fight between you or not is not my problem, but keep it *out* of my wiki. Capisce? -- D. Cello 01:33, July 24, 2010 (UTC)
