Naming Coventions
Hey Vlad, just FYI when creating article that are a part of an alternate history you have to put the name of the AH in paratheses in the title. For example: Uyghur Soviet Socialist Republic should have been called Uyghur Soviet Socialist Republic (1983: Doomsday). I have renamed the articles for you. Mitro 21:50, October 20, 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks,appreciate it,I'm just getting the hang of things,I'm making some rookie mistakes =). Oh yeah,could you please explain how to make links here. I was trying for ever to do that yesterday and I just didn't know how.--Vladivostok 03:58, October 21, 2009 (UTC)
 * No problem, links are easy. Generally if you put brackets around a title (for example: Uyghur Soviet Socialist Republic (1983: Doomsday) ) you create a link: Uyghur Soviet Socialist Republic (1983: Doomsday).  However because having "(1983: Doomsday)" showing up at every link doesn't look so good, we have a special template that does the same job.  If you write  you also get a link: .  Hope that helps.

 * Thanks,that sure makes things a bit easier.Only one more thing. If your not busy,feel free to look at the Siberian article page. I have made a few changes and I'd like to see what people think of the page. And if you know any good map making problem, that would to a world of good--Vladivostok 14:39, October 21, 2009 (UTC)

Cuba
Sure go ahead with Cuba. Also don't forget to talk to Ben about Costa Rica, he is the creator for that article. Mitro 23:22, November 1, 2009 (UTC)

Re: Costa Rica & Nicaragua
I'm sorry I didn't notice the first message about it. I have been meaning to do more work on Costa Rica & Nicaragua for a while now, in fact I just checked out a book so I can familiarize myself with the area. But obviously I'm not an expert on it, and for that reason my plans stalled around 1990 or so. I've focused more on the Limoneses at the other end of the country than on the Sandinistas, mostly because I don't know enough about them. So if you have ideas for it, sure, write them. I would like to continue contributing to the page, especially as I read more. Some of what I have written might also have to be changed, if it turns out to be implausible or innacurate.

These were my plans for the period since 1990, which I haven't written yet. Some ideas may be good, some may be lousy: Benkarnell 17:08, November 2, 2009 (UTC)
 * A lot of complex back-and-forth between the sides. A couple of times the Sandinistas in Nicaragua and CR might try to unite, but then split again.
 * The Contras might sometimes form larger organizations in an attempt to take the capital and/or control territory to form breakaway states. The Moskito region might have a major Contra presence.
 * The "Partido Urbano" (not the best name, but some left-wing street gang-like organization) formed c. 1996 in San Jose and attempting to organize what's left of Costa RIca's central valley and metro area.
 * Oscar Arias coming to power in Limon sometime in the 90s, and he helps de-escalate the war
 * Rise of Limonismo on the Caribbean coast, basically an Afro-Caribbean movement that helps put the current President in power
 * A Church-controlled micro-state emerging somewhere in the Central Valley, probably Cartago

Map of Siberia


Well, I started this map, but then stopped making it. I don't like its technical quality, I am not sure whether the boundaries are okay, I suspect that the nuclear impact should re-estimated, and I am not sure whether I have chosen a good map projection. BTW, on this map the Kazakh Republic includes a significant portion of Kyrghyzstan, therefore I suppose it's called the Kazakh-Kyrghyz SSR. — Hellerick 11:31, November 6, 2009 (UTC)

Tibet?
Um...I am not sure what comment you are reffering to. Can you be more specific? Mitro 16:03, November 17, 2009 (UTC)
 * Ok I looked at the Tibet article and the discussion on the main talk page. My "copyedit" comment was just a summary of my edits to the page, I was trying to clean it up since I am anal about the structure of articles.  It seems that the only reason the article has not been graduated is because no one has done it yet.  If you don't mind I will leave a message asking for any objections and if there are none we can go ahead and graduate the article.  Mitro 16:07, November 17, 2009 (UTC)
