Needs a rewrite

This article is poorly written. I'll try to correct it as much as I can. Flash man999 (talk) 04:33, 1 June 2010 (UTC)

Vatican link fixed

I fixed the link to Vatican City, "sziti" isn't a word I am aware of. Bandit V. (talk) 19:35, 17 June 2010 (UTC)

My poor son

I've always wanted to name my son Ezio. Does this game make it so I shouldn't? Hmm... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.178.168.145 (talk) 17:43, 21 August 2010 (UTC)

Split the article

This article is quite big and hard to understand without more sections sub-sections, especially for certain characters such as Desmond Miles, Altaïr ibn-La'Ahad and Ezio Auditore da Firenze. Splitting the article for the ones mentioned should be considered --DingleMr (talk) 19:50, 19 September 2010 (UTC)

Frankly I don´t see the necessity for that. I think there's nothing wrong with this article. I don't think you should split an article unless there is a logical reason content-wise to do so, and only if it's really necessary. In this case, and in most cases, the right titles and subtitles and a clear table of contents should be able to do the trick. In the case of Desmond Miles for instance, a few extra subsections in that large piece of text might indeed be useful -- I'll try to give it a shot. --RagingR2 (talk) 10:47, 14 December 2010 (UTC)
Well, I gave it a shot, and all I can think of is splitting the text according to the games in which the events take place. But, doing that I actually wondered why there is so much "plot" information, in a section about a character. Shouldn't this article be limited purely to some general information about the characters? Plot-wise, I think the information on Misplaced Pages should be limited to the "plot" section on the wiki-page of the corresponding game. I think Misplaced Pages shouldn't contain in-depth descriptions of every little event in the game, and certainly not on the page that purely describes the characters. So if you ask me, a lot of text should simply be cut; especially from the longer sections about Desmond, Altaïr, etc. --RagingR2 (talk) 11:00, 14 December 2010 (UTC)

Poor Quality

This entire section is horribly written. It is filled with fan theories (with one writer even stating "I believe in the next game", as well as a fan created character apparently having been inserted (the fake character of Arsen that is mentioned all the time in the Ezio page, who is in none of the games). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.112.26.237 (talk) 18:33, 1 January 2011 (UTC)

C-Class

To anyone editing this page regularly, lets try and get this page up to a C-Class or a B-Class page. Outlaw265 (talk) 12:13, 6 February 2011 (UTC)

Assessment

Unfortunately the article can only be promoted to Start class. Wikis cannot be used per WP:Reliable sources. I have removed them, but it leaves an incredibly long article with only three external sources. Something of this length would need at least 10-15 external sources to pass C-Class. Check Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Video games/Sources for sources that would be acceptable. --Teancum (talk) 13:00, 6 February 2011 (UTC)

Ok, sorry about the other Wikis thing (I'm a newbie). So if there are enough decent references this can become a C-Class article? I'll get right on it!! Outlaw265 (talk) 17:03, 7 February 2011 (UTC)

Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands

Ezio's outfit can be unlocked in the PS3 and X-Box 360 versions of Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands. 207.216.197.154 (talk) 17:21, 8 May 2011 (UTC)

The arabian name of Altair

Hi, why if I can try to translate the original name of Altair (in arabian carachters) with google translate, the meaning is "Fly it's not rubbish"? Is it just an error of the traslator or....a joke of the writer of this voice?

According to the makers, it is eagle, that's what we should go with. Sir William Matthew Flinders Petrie | Say Shalom! 06:43, 23 July 2011 (UTC)

Google translator doesn't do that anymore, couldn't you have misspelled it? aṭ-ṭāʾir can mean both bird or flying. It really doesn't mean Eagle, but we have to take into consideration Altair as the name for star - an abbreviation of the Arabic phrase النسر الطائر, an-nasr aṭ-ṭā’ir (English: The flying eagle). I think that it is also a reason for pronunciation Altair and not aṭ-ṭā’ir (there is actually neither L nor Y). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.111.93.162 (talk) 21:44, 28 April 2012 (UTC)

Articles for Altaïr, Ezio and Desmond

We should write articles for Altaïr, Ezio and Desmond. They are the most important characters in the series. Leader Vladimir (talk) 22:24, 6 August 2011 (UTC)

Ezio Auditore da Firenze

  • Support He's undoubtedly the flagship character of the series, having been the main protagonist in the majority of the games thus far, and he'll even be featured as a playable character in the upcoming Soul Calibur V. The character has also been featured in several "Top ___ Video Game Characters' lists, including those by IGN and the like. 176.61.7.94 (talk) 16:21, 26 December 2011 (UTC)

Altair

Desmond and Connor

Are we sure that Connor is a descendant of Desmond? Has any of the publicity actual stated this or are we just assuming? I suppose a citation is needed. 192.158.61.139 (talk) 18:54, 27 March 2012 (UTC)

Aveline as Desmond's Ancestor - (Aveline de Grandpré entry)

The reasoning stated for Desmond being unable to relive the memories of two ancestors in the same timeline is incorrect. These are genetic memories. The reason Altair was not followed was because his genes had been passed down at that moment and anything he experienced afterwards could not be relived as Altair by Desmond. (This is why the plot device of the Masyaf keys was used in Revelations.) Edgarwilliamfrye (talk) 19:14, 31 October 2012 (UTC)

Flags

We need a cap of some sort on the number of flag icons we're placing next to people's names; some of them are just getting silly. Connor doesn't need a flag for the State of New York next to his name, really... --Jasca Ducato (talk) 12:42, 28 November 2012 (UTC)
