Honest opinion
Hey Nuke,

First of all, as a relatively new member of TSPTF, I must commend you for your continuous efforts to keep the images of this wiki, which is a monumental task, in perfect order.

That being said, I think I speak for all the contributors of the wiki when I say that you slightly overestimate the importance of images on the wiki. If this was an IMGR or Instigram account, then our content would be exclusively told through images.

But it's not. This is a wiki, meaning that images are only colorful decorations for the real content, which are articles. In other words, a duplicated image is wrong, but not really a crime, unless it is seriously spammed. Why? Because no user is going to be looking at the image archives, only the articles where images are used as decoration. Similarly, images used only on a user page is not something that concerns the wiki as a whole. It's a private matter. The only time such images are going to be seen outside of their page is when someone looks at the image archives.

Also, when adding an image, no one looks at the image search. Like, ever. It's not about good practice, it's about practicality.

Obviously, I have no authority in this manner, but I wouldn't bring it up if not for myriads of users complaining of injustice. I would like to thank Feud for making Borealia possible  04:40, January 10, 2016 (UTC)

RE: Block
"Duplication"

I must assert that the image that I uploaded was not a duplicate, and that the block that was issued was unwarranted. The flag I uploaded, compared to the flag you mentioned shares two similarities:

- The nordic cross

- The colour scheme

The flag I uploaded had a different ratio compared to the other flag, along with having different colours, my flag being much brighter than the other flag. I uploaded my flag knowing that a flag of similar colour and design existed.

Re: Duplication
My apologies. Sometimes when I look for an image, it is not under the search I use, so I upload my own version. Thanks for informing me. I have been trying to dig around more to find them. Daeseunglim (talk) 20:56, January 11, 2016 (UTC)

Why delete the Italy template
Why did you delete the Italian template when it was perfectly fine. Now you could of just ruined some pages that was using it. Matt121 ??? Matt125 (Talk) 04:03, January 12, 2016 (UTC)

It wouldn't worry evently as I will move all of my articles into my alternative sport wikia which will include the FIFA World Cup. In terms of this wiki, maybe some suggestions on how I could improve on my timeline? Matt121 ??? Matt125 (Talk) 04:26, January 12, 2016 (UTC)

Accidentally uploaded a duplication
Hello Nuke,

I accidentally uploaded a duplication of of the Flag of Spain 1931-1939. I found that you have uploaded another file Flag of Spain 1931 1939.svg. I apologize for this and am letting you know so you can remove it, as well as the fact that I acknowledge my mistake.

Re: New Union Faux Pas
Fair enough. I will do what I should and that is the FIFA World Cup posts. Matt121 ??? Matt125 (Talk) 20:39, January 12, 2016 (UTC)

Map Game Situation
Hi. I don't know any other high admins on this site, so I though about asking you, unless you know someone more appropriate for me to ask (I have been on this wiki fro less than 6 months). I had a little map game that I'm beginning to work on, but with the "Map Game Y/N" talk going on and the lack of new map games, I'm not sure what is the current situation regarding map games.

So I wanted to know if Map Game are still authorized on the site, or if some regulation has been put in place?

Note
Hey Nuke, you may have accidentally seen me upload two of the same files (but different extensions) by mistake. I didn't like the exact style of the original, so I decided to go back and edit it. The only problem was the original .gif file turned into a .jpeg file. I didn't expect this, and therefore got two different files. I'm sorry for any inconvinice I caused you. Hope your day and/or night goes well.

Panama (CNS)
Hi Nuc! How are you? :) I hope you are fine. Look, I put this question in the forum but... don't get any answer xD So, I want to ask your thoughts about the Panama Canal issue during a early Reagan administration (1977-1985) for my history in the spanish wikia, please, if you have time. I have ideas a panamanian attack to the Canal Zone and the US reaction (an invasion) in 1979 or later, and the consequences and reactions for all Latin America in the next years (United States retain the control to the Canal even today?). What do you think? Regards!! --Katholico (talk) 04:21, February 5, 2016 (UTC)

You do so many things for this wiki, simplifying finding images. Another thing I like that you have done is your templates for your TL give us tempaltes for our tempaltes in our TLs.

Help with the USSR (Carpe Diem)
Hello Nuke, So I've finally decided to start working more on the in my TL, Carpe Diem. However I am having a lot of problems sorting out a political atmosphere that I could see happening. Two examples being the political parties of the Soviet Union, as well as the other Presidents of the USSR. I should also mention I absolutely love your idea in New Union with the Liberal Democratic Party splitting into two new parties.

Currently, I have Alexander Yakovlev (don't know if you've heard of him, jk ;3) succeeding Gorbachev. And I wanted a more controversial figure to succeed Yakovlev following the 9/11 attacks on New York and the tumultuous beginning of the 21st Century (if you haven't noticed, very inspired by your theme in NU). For that controversial figure I chose, who is an equally controversial figure OTL. However I'm having trouble figuring out who would beat him in the 2007 election. Currently I have, but I think he'd be too young in the eyes of Soviet voters to win the election (he would be 41 in 2007).

I was wondering (since you are pretty good when it comes to Russia) if you had an people in mind who could replace Ryzhkov as the opposition party nominee and eventual president.

I'd love to hear your suggestions,

Thank you for the response, Nuke! I really appreciate it and will definitely use your suggestions.

Can't find images
Nuke,

Rather than inundating the wiki with images I know we already have, I was trying to search the wiki for the images I need. However, I can't seem to find them. So, I've come here, to the resident expert on images, to help me out.

The images I need are: the Flag of the Ottoman Empire as close to 1520 as possible, and a map of their exent at that time.

Here they are in wikipedia commons: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Flag_of_the_Ottoman_Empire.svg

https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Territorial_changes_of_the_Ottoman_Empire_1520.jpg

Thanks in advance I would like to thank Feud for making Borealia possible  21:42, February 14, 2016 (UTC)

Hey again,

So, following your suggestion I was able to find the flag I was looking for. However, I was not able to find the map of the territorial changes, so I assumed it wasn't on the wiki. The link you posted on my talk page was a red link.

Hopefully it's cleared up now,

Nathan

Russia map
Hello, I was looking at the orthographic projection of russia, and it does not include the Crimea as its counterpart on wikipedia does - I was wondering if it should be updated, or (as has been done on wikipedia) a second file should be uploaded, which includes crimea (albeit in lighter green). thanks Bryce3 (talk) 23:11, February 18, 2016 (UTC)

My Greek Egypt TL is up for Adoption
Hello Vaccum. I've seen how good you are with creating and developing TLs (13 Fallen Stars is my favorite :D), including adopted ones. Well, my second TL, Greek Egypt, needs developing as I am working on a multi-POD TL network (Down a Different Path if you wanna check it out) and may want to continue developing my Independent Sydney TL. I'm pretty much stuck on Greek Egypt, so if you want to, could you help this TL along? Thanks for reading this. ;)

I will immediately change my Dutch Empire name so that it is valid.

File updating?
I don't know if you got my message in my page but I'm sending it again, I've seen your message, I don't know how to update the file. Like I've said before I'm new to this.

Re-File Updating
How about the map here? http://althistory.wikia.com/wiki/Cold_War_(WOA)

The map with the superpowers. There was  a slight mistake with Crimea I didn't shade it red like it should've been. I've edited the map but I don't know how to update it.

File:No_image restoration request
Hi Nuclear,

You recently deleted a file named "File:No_image", which was uploaded by myself, under the reasoning that it was a "broken file".

It is in fact not at all. It is a blank image to act as a place-holder when no image is available, for example, here. It is used for formatting purposes, to ensure consistency in text placement.

Please restore this file, as my reasoning for uploading it is sound. —  The  Tim   Man  (TSW • AH • MGW • Contribs ) 22:27, March 1, 2016 (UTC)


 * So then what do you suggest I place in its stead? —  The  Tim   Man  (TSW • AH • MGW • Contribs ) 22:38, March 1, 2016 (UTC)


 * Also, to illustrate its usefulness, please see my Sandbox on Wikipedia here. Note how on the two boxes on the left, the No_image.png file is present. This makes the text automatically shift to the bottom, which is consistent with the second box to the right, which has an image of the same height. Now, compare that with the right-most box, which has no image. The text is in the centre, and is not consistent with the rest of the boxes. No_image.png is used all over Wikipedia to rectify situations such as this. My use of the image is wholly justified, unless you can suggest a better alternative. —  The  Tim   Man  (TSW • AH • MGW • Contribs ) 22:41, March 1, 2016 (UTC)

Automotive Industry in Russian America
I guess the early Russian automakers will flee to Alaska, only for them to be caught up in the civil war. Alaska would have a decent automotive industry, but not as big as those of America's, of course. The industry had to compete with the US auto industry, as well as the flooding of Russian vehicles in Alaska. I guess the Yugo would be better appreciated in Alaska.

Any suggestions?

Thanks for the copy edit
Hey there again, thanks for the copy edit on the introduction of Alaskan Buddhism

I feel bad for not being able to write the stories, I talked about real life has gotten in the way, but when there time I will get to them. I am going to put them in my profile page first when I write them.

I feel silly for coming up with more topics when I haven't finished my earlier one but I am thinking too just now about Orthodoxy and Islam in Alaska. Orthodoxy should play a founational role in the years after the Spanish war in creating settler communties. Of course the New World did tend to tear up established old world religions but I think Orthodoxy is at least first going to be important. Old Belivers would be coming too and going for the most remote areas eventually.

Orthodoxy like it did in the Old World is going to incresaingly be the arm for the Czar's mantaince of power, leading many Alaskans to question faith, urban liberals will turn secular but there others will make their own churches. Protostants will have an appel but I think Russian style breakways will occur too.

The end of the Empire is going to throw the church into dissary in Alaska, suddenly lost without offical protection, new churches I think will be made in this period. Orthodoxy might appel to the pesduo fascists in Alaska during the time of division. The Church is going to change as the USSR forms and it finds itself to be the defacto heir of Moscow Orthdoxoy, I could see Russian Orthdoxy becoming a more decentralized dynamic group without political control, however white emigrees will try to keep the church the way it is. Certainly the new partirach will take  residence in Alaska

After reunifcation the church will have a resurgence and will become a key part of Alaska's unique cold War Identity and many will identity "Orthodox Alaska" as being the True Russia, and the USSR as being the fake, "godless" corrupted Russia. Kind of like a situation with China and Taiwain, the church will lobby for agressive anti Soviet policies and will be trying resuce people from the USSR.

After the Cold War the church will likely surge in membership due to euphoria and evidence of God's will and intervention and the Church being based in the New World for so long will take it upon itself to rechristanaize the homeland. The Patriach might move back, there will be conflict however though between a resurgent church in Russia and the church is Alaska, I think. After all Russians who stayed in Russia will want to see the center of their church remain at home but Alaskans will want to remain the center of power.

Just an idea.

Also I am thinking for the story about the crisis that will have multiple themes, femnism will be apparant as the crisis emphasises some existing problems in the character's marriage but the Alaskan Soviet brother hate will take a center stage. Her Husband's brother will be in the Soviet Navy, eventually I think in the story the husband's grief about his relatives in the USSR will bring him and the woman character closer back together but the relationship will be changed because she will have to save him from despair, and comfort him.
