Knowledge
So clicking "minor edit" doesn't actually hide your edit? Mr.Xeight 22:47, 23 July 2009 (UTC)

Wow, I've been living a lie for monts... :/ Mr.Xeight 22:56, 23 July 2009 (UTC)

They disappear if you select them to, I let them remain. Louisiannan 13:55, 24 July 2009 (UTC)

Time off
I'm going to take some time off from the wiki. I need to cool off before I say something stupid. Sorry to sound mysterious, but maybe you'll figure out what I'm talking about. Mitro 02:02, 28 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Thank you for the kind message. As you can see I returned earlier then expected, a friend of mine talked some sense into me about patience and not letting people get to you.  I will though be gone for most of the weekend so I can study for an Entertainment law final, but until then I hope to focus on my new article: .  Mitro 19:52, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

Likem96
Bo, something needs to be done about Likeme96. I mean he doesn't even have a username any more, he's made himself into a timeline. He also finds it neccessary to vandalize France by putting the info from some alternate France from sort of alien vs. man video game. That's copy right infringement, is it not? He didn't take the hint with the three ban, so what next? Mr.Xeight 18:43, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

Wikibreak
after yesterdays outburst me and MR.Xeight decided you should tke a months wikibreak so you can chill out BTW your contributions at 1983: Doomsday have not gone unnoticed thanks (unsigned by Owen1983)


 * I'm sorry but who exactly are you? I never decided anything on whether Mr. Arthur needs a break. Don't you think it should be up to MR. ARTHUR himself and not YOU?


 * What do you want him gone so you can screw around with 1983:Doomsday?

Mr.Xeight 21:29, 29 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Owen wrote that. I'm not sure what he was thinking, considering Louis is the creator and an admin of this wiki.  I think he is upset because Louis disagreed with him, but I'm not sure how you got dragged into this Mr. X.  Mitro 22:32, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

I guess you know as much as I do on this situation, Mitro. I think I might follow your example and take a wikibreak before I revert back to my past-self. Mr.Xeight 22:58, 29 July 2009 (UTC)
 * I just kind of scratched my head and said, "Hm." I'm not going anywhere. Louisiannan 13:58, 30 July 2009 (UTC)

I don't even know what this was about but one thing i know is arguments arent goin to do the TL any good so im cool with everyone --Owen1983 15:21, 16 August 2009 (UTC)
 * How do you not know what this is about Owen? You are the one who wrote it!  Mitro 20:49, 16 August 2009 (UTC)

Egypt
My bad, for some reason I thought it was still a proposal. Mitro 17:43, 30 July 2009 (UTC)

Venge
Wow, you're right it is a real, but old, word. I just thought you spelled "avenge" wrong. Now I have a new word to use, haha! Mitro 19:21, 5 August 2009 (UTC)
 * And thus I infect your ideolect, too! Louisiannan 19:38, 5 August 2009 (UTC)

IP vandalism
Can you block this IP: User talk:68.121.32.222. All of his recent edits were either vandalism (which I reverted) and bizarre messages on people's talk pages. Mitro 00:56, 6 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Sorry about bothering you again, but User talk:69.106.206.225 is doing the same vandalism as the last IP. Mitro 16:39, 6 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Same guy: User talk:69.111.180.153. Mitro 21:07, 6 August 2009 (UTC)

Excellent, my master plan has worked **evil laughter**! Seriously though, thank you for this responsibility. I promise to use it sparingly and only for the right reasons and not allow my emotions to get the better of me. Mitro 23:11, 6 August 2009 (UTC)

edit from wikia
im sorry, I didnt Know i womt do again

Alternative_History:Featured_alternate_history
will you submit all the previously featured timeline ?--Marcpasquin 19:17, 8 August 2009 (UTC)

Republic of Lincoln

 * I tried to stay true to the original flag of Chicago, while also adding new features that would represent the changes since Doomsday. I didn’t really care for the flag myself once I had finished it, but I decided to post it anyway for comment. The red is meant to represent the blood that was spilled during the civil war involving the three mobs, while the florescent blue was already there, representing the divisions within the city by bodies of water. If you have any ideas for improvement, I am all ears. I have seen some of your flags and am flabbergasted by the awesome job you have done. Lahbas 22:57, 10 August 2009 (UTC)

Roundel V Banner
Realismadder designed one, but there was never any consensus that we were going with it over the banner. Personally I’m in favor of the banner only because it is more noticeable and it has links to the Featured AH nomination page. If you want I can establish a poll and see what the consensus is? Mitro 15:39, 12 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Sounds good to me. Mitro 16:05, 12 August 2009 (UTC)

Cryptic Rédaction
Hey, Dan. Je suis en train d'écrire en français d'une certaine manière très particulière d'utilisateurs de l'Angleterre ne peut pas lire cela. Je pense que vous pouvez deviner qui il est, il se bloque autour de 1983: DD. Quoi qu'il en soit, il dit Mitro droit, il perd contact avec la réalité. Pouvez-vous lui parler et lui dire que l'atténuer? Rappelez-vous, je ne vais pas pour une interdiction permanente, seule une simple parle. Oh, et je suis désolé si la grammaire de ce message est atroce, je suis l'aide de Google Translate, je ne peux pas parler un mot de français:)

Observe, John Mr.Xeight 01:08, 17 August 2009 (UTC)

Rule Britannia
Just wanted to explain my deletions of the Rule Britannia articles. Apparently the work was put up without the author's permission (see http://www.alternatehistory.com/Discussion/showthread.php?t=30473&page=34). Mitro 02:11, 17 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Sounds reasonable to me. Louisiannan 14:14, 17 August 2009 (UTC)

thanks
just to say Thanks for correcting my article BTw what was the conversation about you and Mr X and why have I been dragged in to this enyways I have to much to do to bother with this thing besides stuff like this is not going t do the TL any good --Owen1983 23:22, 17 August 2009 (UTC)

Concernant l'article Owen83 dans les 1983 densités doubles parlez la page
ceci s'est produit il y a un mois et certaines personnes ont lu l'itput deux et deux ensemble et cinq faits et signalé lui sur les personnes de page de 1983DD tak le lisent obtiennent provoqués et la réponse causant un wicn d'argument n'aide pas l'OMI de TL que ceci doit--Owen1983 16:53, 19 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Owen, mate, I have no clue what you're getting at here -- and I'm pretty sure you wrote something in English and then translated it. All the same, I presume this is your apology -- let's just move forward?  No reason for this wiki to turn into a drama wiki. Louisiannan 17:29, 19 August 2009 (UTC)

It's time
Once again I've offended various parties of the Conculture Group and I think it's time I leave for awhile, especially since school begins tomorrow. If you would kind enough, I'd be most thankful if you'd watch over IB Greece, maybe even making tidbits or even whole articles and ideas for the page, I think IB Greece and myself were never compatible to begin with. I hope you would also like to watch over my althist things as well. Again, I don't think an online email can express the thanks I'd like to give for your great help and mentoring :) You've also inspired to read about the LDS Church and the history of Joseph Smith, I find it quite interesting, which is really a step for me expanding beyond the various works of Orthodox Christianity.

Ben I'd also like to thank you, you were there to help me when I believed IB was not big enough for Athos and Greece. I truly would like to thank you for taking time out to show me all the events from another view than my "it's not my fault" attitude. I'm also reading an online article on Orthodoxy ad Lutheranism, it's quite a good read :)

Mitro, though I've know you the shortest of all, I'd like to say, you're a great AltHistorian, keeping DD in shape. If you'd like to pop in on DD Greece, or even think of ideas ortake it over, I'd like that very much.


 * I'm sorry Ben and Mitro I haven't placed these messages on your talk pages, I really have to draft up notes starting from 33,000 BCE North America to the time of the British heyday in America.

Mr.Xeight 21:38, 19 August 2009 (UTC)

MC Prank
Please unblock me man Its a request

Brass
Thank you, its good to know that my plan to overthrow you and establish an empire that encompasses the entire multiverse is in my grasp. ;-) Mitro 13:54, September 9, 2009 (UTC)

Spain
That's fine. I removed it originally because the way the article is currently going Spain is divided into several states so the info-box really didn't fit well. Mitro 18:03, September 14, 2009 (UTC)

Algeria (1983: Doomsday)
Are you planning on doing anymore work on Algeria (1983: Doomsday)? I'm trying to clear out the proposal category because it is starting to get very large. Mitro 16:47, September 22, 2009 (UTC)
 * I'm done. Louisiannan 19:12, September 22, 2009 (UTC)

Saguenay War
You might want to see Talk:2009 Saguenay War (1983: Doomsday). I'm concerned with the direction the war is being taken and I would like to hear your opinion.. Mitro 17:04, September 25, 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for the welcome
Louisiannan, thanks for the welcome, and the introductory info on the wiki. I'll take a day or so to get myself acquainted with the lay of the land (so to speak). I hope my contributions will enhance an already excellent timeline your group has created.--BrianD

No problem
An alternate history of a two-term JFK has always fascinated me

I performed 2 rollbacks
since i now what I am doing could you make mu a constable in the TSPTF --Owen1983 17:31, December 5, 2009 (UTC)]]
 * The TSPTF takes nomination and approval, Owen. You can put your name out there for consideration under the nominee page. Dr. Cayne Armand 18:57, December 7, 2009 (UTC)

Great Rapprochement
I know you made the Viva California TL so I wanted your blessing in the Great Rapprochement. This TL starts with a POD within VC. The idea is that Britain sides with the USA in the Spanish Americas War. This begins a cycle that forms an alliance between the US and UK. Bob 17:47, December 8, 2009 (UTC)
 * I'll give it a look, Bob. Louisiannnan

Where did you get the maps in Viva California. They are very good and I want to use similar ones. Bob 20:37, December 10, 2009 (UTC)
 * I made them, actually. What did you have in mind?  Louisiannnan 21:12, December 10, 2009 (UTC)
 * Wow! I have made a map of the world post ww2.GR-postww2.png Bob 15:48, December 13, 2009 (UTC)
 * I'll gussy this one up. May I suggest we slow down the pace and explore further each war and the resulting changes?  I don't think we should go charging forward in time until we're sure what each change would cause.   Louisiannnan 20:53, December 14, 2009 (UTC)

Charitwo
Someone by the name of "Charitwo" deleted the Main page. He says he works for Wikia and that it was an accident, but I figured you should be told about it. Mitro 15:56, December 19, 2009 (UTC)

Infobox
Have you seen what is happening with the infoboxes? I can't seem to figure out why the images are out of whack. Mitro 14:43, December 23, 2009 (UTC)

Haven't noticed - any particular one that's giving you trouble? Louisiannan 18:33, December 23, 2009 (UTC)

Pretty much any article that uses the Nationinfo template. I've seen several 1983: Doomsday articles not working and Realismander reported on the Main Page that the same is happening with SIADD articles. The problem is it sometimes work and sometimes doesn't. Mitro 18:36, December 23, 2009 (UTC)


 * That's really weird. I pulled up  and it looked fine... Louisiannan 19:03, December 23, 2009 (UTC)
 * is doing it right now, though your right Egypt is not. Mitro 19:06, December 23, 2009 (UTC)
 * It's the flags. They're not being forced to a smaller size.  Louisiannan 19:26, December 23, 2009 (UTC)
 * Flag size has never been an issue before though. Even the main template page (Template:NationInfo) is showing problems with the flags.  Mitro 19:35, December 23, 2009 (UTC)
 * The flag and coat of arms are a bit big, yes. I wonder if Wikia changed a format?  or if some underlying infobox that the template draws from was changed? Louisiannan 19:48, December 23, 2009 (UTC)

I remember GT wikia hade the same problem
we had this problem on GTW at first I thaught it was vandelism then i was informed it was a browser issue different browsers interpret formating differently which caused a problem so i investigated it and got it repaired --Owen1983 00:15, December 24, 2009 (UTC)

riley Koomers userpage
I notiiced there is a problem with formating on this page the problem is the side panels apear on the page rather were they are sopposed to be --Owen1983 14:14, December 29, 2009 (UTC)

Two user pages
Can we do something about the user pages of User:Missouri Rebel and User:FascistBritan? They are pretty much just a collection of fascist/Nazi symbols (as are their avatars) and I have received complaints about it from other users. Mitro 14:57, December 30, 2009 (UTC)
 * Aside their avatars, have they done anything overtly offensive/aggressive? (just trying to understand the whole of the situation) Louisiannan 15:25, December 30, 2009 (UTC)
 * No, as far as I can tell, and that is why I came to talk to you first. It is a passive display of offensive images that has gotten some people riled.  FB did spam my talk page with a bunch of fascist flags, but I think it was an accident because Missouri Rebel himself asked for said flags and he just posted it on the wrong talk page.
 * Wikipedia does regulate what users can put on their user pages. I'm wondering if this is a situation which might require us to do the same.  Mitro 15:38, December 30, 2009 (UTC)

this is not wikipedia its wikia technically these users hav not done anything wron i checked the two user contributions and thay have not vandelized anything if I was a member of the TSPTF I would defer to louis' Bens or Kirstens input before doing anything which i see you have done but I see myself as a cadet at the TSPTF and if you deferto me I would say let it blow over the reason is if you were to act on it the users would see this as politicly motivated this would be damaging to this wiki and the TSPTF --Owen1983 16:02, December 30, 2009 (UTC)
 * Owen stay out of this, you are not a member of TSPTF. Mitro 16:13, December 30, 2009 (UTC)
 * Mitro, I'll e-mail you. Thanks for being willing to help, Owen - we've got it in hand though. Louisiannan 17:08, December 30, 2009 (UTC)

If I may add my opinion here, I too think we should talk to these two users. Though one may argue not all alternate-histories are nice, and someone is going to be interested in an Axis-run world, there is a line to be crossed. Using a swastika for your avatar picture is definately beyond "the line". Mr.Xeight 17:11, December 30, 2009 (UTC)

ok louis --Owen1983 17:35, December 30, 2009 (UTC)


 * I must admit that I'm quite hesitant when it comes to censoring and banning political symbols, even when they represent ideologies as despicable as the ones discussed. I'd personally support banning hate speech and personal attacks on the wiki (though those would have constituted valid reasons for issuing a ban anyway) but would oppose formal rules against symbolism. Such rules would inevitably one day lead to tiresome discussions on whether or not other political symbols such as hammers and sickles or circle a's of the extreme left (or even the flag of China) are allowed, and I just honestly don't want to know how these discussions will end up. A request to remove these pictures is in order I'd say, but no formal rules against them. --Karsten&#160;vK (talk) 18:06, December 30, 2009 (UTC)

France Template

 * I like it. Mitro 23:22, January 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * Hey, thanks. I saved it here because it didn't seem to save the first two times I tried to save it under the template and I didn't want to lose my work, so I saved a copy here. Louisiannan 00:07, January 7, 2010 (UTC)

NAU/Utah talks
I have been playing around with the idea of the NAU offering membership to neighboring nations. Since you are the character of Utah, I am wondering whether you think Utah would be interested in joining the union? Mitro 23:34, January 28, 2010 (UTC)
 * Heya, Mitro. I'll say this for Utah - they're looking for allies that are stable and well grounded, but they're also not necessarily willing to lose their sovereignty, so it would depend on the NAU's timetable and what sort of membership offer they posit. I'd say that Utah might be willing to go along with it if it meant mutual defense, free trade, and retained autonomy, but they might also be reticent to join because of the strongly bellicose nature of Superior and Vermont and Virginia - Utah wouldn't want to be sucked into a war half a continent away, after all.
 * I would say that any such overture would take a "national" vote, and likely would have to be extended to Utah and Dinetah, since they seem pretty chummy from Utah's persepctive, at least. Any such overture would likely take a year to bring into line. Louisiannan 23:44, January 28, 2010 (UTC)
 * Well the NAU is a DD-version of the EU, with a few differences due to the close cooperation of at least two of the states. The three member states (PUSA, Canada and Lakotah) all maintain their independence so I think Utah would be able to as well. I was thinking of using the discussion about the railroad to the MSP as a springboard for Utah being offered membership with the NAU. As for the timetable, well realisticly they wouldn't become full members right away. There would be negotiations between all 4 states but it would probably become official after a few years. Also Superior, Vermont and Virginia are too far away for the NAU to be even considering offering them membership. Mitro 23:51, January 28, 2010 (UTC)
 * So much the better says I (and Utah). I like the idea. I also like the idea of the railroads, especially because of the control it will give Utah over the region, more of a powerplayer, and such and that will appeal to the population, because they'll be able to have a greater input on events. I vote you move forward with the idea.
 * My thoughts are that with the more plentiful supply of coal for electricity and coal, that will be devoted to transit types, and that gasoline and oil production will be reserved for the government because of its relative scarcity. What do you think? Louisiannan 00:03, January 29, 2010 (UTC)
 * One last thing, how does Dinétah (1983: Doomsday) fit into all of this? Mitro 00:37, January 29, 2010 (UTC)
 * ShutupNavi and I were working on Dinétah a bit together - it was his idea that the Navajos would restore themselves as a nation state, but they would play along with the Utahns, because the Utahns offered them support, and there were some competing land-claims. They're autonomous, but the do tend to go alone with Utah's positions on the international stage, at least historically, so you'll want to say that envoys were sent to both nations from the NAU, or whatever. Louisiannan 15:21, January 29, 2010 (UTC)

I am all in favor of the NAU and Utah becoming allies but I think expansion into Utah would be a mistakeOwen1983 18:16, January 29, 2010 (UTC)
 * Why? The NAU is an organization similar to the EU.  It wouldn't be expanding into Utah, Utah would be joining it voluntarily.  Why would it be a mistake?  Mitro 18:18, January 29, 2010 (UTC)

Viva California/Toyotomi Japan
I have had an idea for an althist in which the 1861 of Toyotomi and the 1861 of Viva California collide. I was thinking the Western Hemisphere is Toyotomi and the Eastern Hemisphere is Viva California. Or we could do it by continents. I just wanted your blessing becuase you had something to do with both of them. Bob 11:41, February 26, 2010 (UTC)
 * Let's hold of on that for a bit, as Toyotomi has recently been taken in hand to rework by Mr. Xeight, who's working extensively with me and the original creator. Since that timeline's in flux, I'd say to wait before you do any sort of mash up. Louisiannan 15:55, February 26, 2010 (UTC)
 * Well, if its being improved maybe I could help. My knowlege of Britain and its empires history could come in handy. And if you don't need my help then thats alright as well. Bob 19:05, February 26, 2010 (UTC)
 * Feel free to approach Mr. Xeight about it - he's the one that's running the operation, really. Louisiannan 19:31, February 26, 2010 (UTC)

Haha, Mr. Dan, I was always pictured you as the leader, since you were the creator :D
 * I don't know if I want to take credit. Christina only gave me her blessing to carry on, not take over, that's something I reserve for her and you, Mr. Dan. But I was also wondering if we put up our discussions on Aragon, as I think we have a good amount that be converted into info. I still haven't looked up what "Bissau" and "Angola" mean, perhaps would could just change "Guinea-Bissau" to plain "Guinea", the generic term that appears to be the same in all Romance languages. My birthday is tomorrow night, so I'll quite busy tomorrow, but most of Saturday and all of Monday I have free.
 * I was thinking about how many Byzantine-succesor states there are. The "best" case scenario is that a small area around Constantinople, the Peloponnesos, Epirus, many of the Aegean Islands, and even Attica and the rest of southern Greece are spared. The worst-case scenario is only the Despotate of Moreos holding only the Peloponessos and some Aegean Islands wrestled from the Italians. I was also thinking about how much autonomy the majority-Greek United Islands of the Aegean have, perhaps something like the Olympics; Hong Kong having its own team while still being part of China. So the Islands are part of Japan, yet have their own representation in the Federation of Japanese States.

Whew, that was a lot of typing! Mr.Xeight 23:35, February 26, 2010 (UTC)

And here's a map. I recently added the Aragonese possessions, Africa, Oman, and changed Russia's colour. Mr.Xeight 16:06, February 27, 2010 (UTC)

If the time comes would it be alright for me to create a nation of my own. So long as it fits into QSS and QAA. Bob 19:40, March 1, 2010 (UTC)

I was thinking about doing a page for a British government-in-exile that would inevitably be formed thanks to all the revolutions my homeland has had. What do you think? Bob 22:09, March 2, 2010 (UTC)


 * I'll leave that to Mr. Xeight - he's got just as much vested interest and say in the timeline in my opinion. Louisiannan 22:34, March 2, 2010 (UTC)

Thank you for your kind words, Mr. Dan, but am I really up there with you and Ms. Christina? I mean so far I've focused on Aragon and the Despotate(s) in Greece, and African colonial holdings of the various powers. I mean since you are the original creator, a great deal of power is vested in you, but shouldn't Ms. Christina have a say in where I fit in all of this? Mr.Xeight 22:46, March 2, 2010 (UTC)


 * I think she'd prefer Miss, being an unwed senorita, after all. And I think she wouldn't object.  And having seen your generally even-keeled nature on other alternate histories, I have no problem elevating you to such a level - you know QSS and QAA and you're careful with things.  You're not prone to the wild changes that many newly interested althistorians fall prey to. Louisiannan  23:20, March 2, 2010 (UTC)

Making alt hists.
Is it ok to use some stuff from real alt histories? I was thinking of a TL inspired by Fatherland, but I thought I should make sure it's ok to do so first.

I'd rather not have it deleted.

Todyo1798 18:15, March 20, 2010 (UTC)

A problem with the Wiki.
Hey there, I'm KaiserElectric, a new member of the wiki. I'm contacting you with a problem.

I'm working on a new althistory that I attempted to add to the contents page, but due to problems with my PC it majorly glitched the D section of the page. I'm just contacting you to apologize for my accident and tell you that I am not attempting to vandalize the wiki. Again, I apoligize for my mistake. Thanks for listening!

KaiserElectric

hey
Hi i don't know how you do things around here do i just create a country or alternate history thing but it linking to other tyhings and stuff? thanks!Marcus Villanova 23:32, March 22, 2010 (UTC)
 * Marcus, you can choose to participate in existing Alternate Histories or create your own. Many people choose to participate in shared althistories, like 1983: Doomsday before striking out on their own - others do it the other way around.  Before you get to participating too heavily, I would suggest you read the following:
 * What is Alternate History
 * Conventions in use in this wiki &
 * QSS and QAA


 * These will all give you a good idea of how to best participate. Otherwise, let me or any of the other administrators know if you have questions! Louisiannan 18:02, March 23, 2010 (UTC)

Greetings from Rus
Hello Lou, (Not signed in at the moment),

I've adopted the Knights Resurgent page, and I am very much in need of assistance in learning more.

Having difficulty learning in the Sandbox, but hopefully, I'll get my bearings soon. I will always welcome input and suggestions in how to make the page look better.

Thanks for your message and look forward to talking to you soon. (Rus Le Dux.)

A NAU floater bar
Sure but that is going to leave 4 bar on the PUSA page (NAU, PUSA states, North America and 1983DD). How do we make it so that all the bars can be minimized? Mitro 19:28, April 8, 2010 (UTC)

Yes Obi-Wan
Fair enough. I prefer the term apprentice if you want to call me something. Also, do you do anything with IIIL Bethasiad? Because its a cool thing!HAD 21:55, April 8, 2010 (UTC)

Me Stoopid
I'm a total fool. You obviously do things with IB, because your user page says so. If only i could become a member, because IB wiki is no where near as "tidey" as 1983:Doomsday. They need a janitor to correct spellings, improve images, etc.HAD 22:00, April 8, 2010 (UTC)
