Its Good!
Your timeline is good! I would contribute more, but at this point I realize I have overstretched myself. If I have time, you can count on me adding! :D Imperium Guy 21:34, April 18, 2012 (UTC)

Warning
Your edits, and especially the movement of its name, to the Indonesian article in the Aztec Empire timeline were against the rules of this wiki. It's not the first ones I've seen out of you, so I have to leave this note.

Please refrain, despite whatever opinion you may have about it, from ever doing such a thing again.

Have a good evening.

wagakuni II
Thanks for the reply, i already saw your edit on your block about Wagakuni, honestly, i will like wagakuni to be a republican version of kimigayo, but that's your choice, anyway, i have a few suggestions for the melody anthem. Melody of the one of Italy maybe should be adequate as it is happy and will mark the apparition of a new era, also the melody of the west german national anthem since 1949 to 1952 ( yes, germany has had other official anthems appart of heil dir im siegerkranz and Das lied Der Deutschen/Deutschlandlied), that's it:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mBM87YK-BtM. These are only proposals, i will be honoured if you include it in your Myomi Republic timeline, and btw, can i contribute with proposals in the articles to your timeline?, for example, you put "Empire of Japan" Instead of "Republic of Japan" when you were refering to the republic.

http://althistory.wikia.com/wiki/User:Breizhcatalonia1993

I see you finally adopted the Kimigayo melody as the melody :D :D, and your lyrics are great, you have more inventive than I.

http://althistory.wikia.com/wiki/User:Breizhcatalonia1993

Internationale.
Yes, but Japanese official version of the internationale is very different to the one of the other countries because japanese communists never wanted to impose a dictatorship, just become integrated into the western democracy system and try to win elections, and if they win, they win, and if they loose, they cede the power. They are also nationalists and want the american bases to be keeped out of Japan, british communists are the same.Said that, i will gladly help to create another version of the internationale, but i will don't call it "Utopia" but "Kokusai" the japanese word for "International", what do you think? will be a second national anthem as the communist party its one of the components of the MKT? and the MKT is left-wing nationalist and the internationale is also used by not communist left wingers, or will be the anthem of the communist party inside the MKT?. By the way, I suggest you to refound the Japanese communist party, it is a very important party in actual japan and so it will be in a Republic of Japan.

no problem :)
Ok, it was just because "utopia" reminds me of the onew ideology that i hate, and i will not say the name and please don't say the name. anyway, no problem in not refounding the comunist party because it was absorved by the MKT :D. aBOUT THE PAPER OF THE NATIONALISTS I THINK IS GOOD, IT IS A DEMOCRACY IN WHICH ALL PARTIES ARE UNITED IN ONE BUT PRESENT SEPARATED TO THE ELECTIONS (sorry for caps) :(

great :D :D
yw, and it goes very well, I have now three articles made and the timeline, you could have a look at that and freely contribute, but please, propose that to me first. I need collaborators for the articles that are not written :D

not exactly :P
No, the nazi part is established and droves europe to the second world war, the only difference, as you said is that france is in the axis instead of japan, which is in the allies. Germany is occupied till 1949 but instead of being divided in two after 1949 its one and democratic, the federal republic of germany.

France ;)
It would be kind like fascist italy, and i know about that signature thing, but i don't know the procedure, let's try:

Breizhcatalonia1993 10:08, May 23, 2012 (UTC)

OK, no problem, i think your timeline needs a great focusing, i can contribute too if you want, i mean the islands that are in the pacific bertween the lines.

Hey, it is breizh back ;) I am following your timeline as one of the one I follow with more enthusiasm, and, if you want a collaboration, you can count with mine, will I can colaborate with some of your pages in Myomi Republic? btw, I need ideas for write the article about Japan in my timeline Rossiskaya Imperiya KD, in which the russian empire becomes democratic and in which i develop my ideas of socio-conservatism ( that's the mix of ideas I have in mind)

Breizhcatalonia1993 15:56, June 23, 2012 (UTC)

I will take the third with modifications.
I will take the third option, but Japan will become a republic during the middle 1920's but it will maintain its flag but with another seal, can I adopt your kofuki seal or you can suggest me any different seal?.

Breizhcatalonia1993 15:48, June 25, 2012 (UTC)

Japanese Republic.
hey :D Just passing back. As I did made Japan a Republic, it would become friend with russia during the twenties, but I will also take your idea of Japan gaining manchuria and korea as its colony, but, they will treat them as equals and not as slaves with the firsts and as puppets with the second :D what do you think? I'll also make guam and the Mariana Islands to become Japanese.

please reply me back as nuke doesn't :P

I think you should add Russians and Ryukyuans as ethnic groups in Japan, the first specially considering that with the Kuril Islands and part of the Sakhalin Island being mainly populated by Russians.

Russia in Myomi Republic
Hello You can get your permission to create article about Russia in the Myomi Republic timeline

I sing Wagakuni ;)
So, I was bored and thought what I can do, and I had no other idea that start myself to sing wagakuni :D :D :D, so, I singed it while I recorded it, can I send you my singing of it?

Oh and I did love your idea of the Jewish homeland under Japanese control and Kwantung also as a Japanese Colony, if in this alternate history Hong Kong and Macau are still British and Portuguese they could be named the Colonial trio or found and organization for Colonial cooperation, called the tricolonial association or something like that.

Btw, in your timeline, what is of Israel? it is still founded but only sephardi jews live here? its still a Britsh colony?, and, the last question, can I have some position in the ranks of the MKT or of Myomi Republic?

Breizhcatalonia1993 (talk) 08:54, February 16, 2013 (UTC)

Banzai :)
Banzai Dai Myomi Minkouku¡¡¡ Banzai MKT¡¡¡ :D :D :D

Its OK, and all my questions have been answered, I will like that position to be in the Militburo.

but in your page there is no gathering to your twitter :P

And I would like to collaborate more in a more deep level in the Myomi Republic timeline, its the best althist that I have ever seen ;)

Breizhcatalonia1993 (talk) 22:14, February 16, 2013 (UTC)

position and Israel :P
Yes, I definitely want that position, and oh, as a zionist, I do consider great your idea of making a smaller jewish state in which almost all population is jewish and then they are majority in their own country, and so the palestinians can have their own state and there is not any problem, btw, there will be settlments in that ATL Israel? Israel in your alternate history is very realistic and, as a future jew ( I am already genetically but I am catholic because my family has been since the 1400) but i have still not converted, I support this solution, which is already supported by political parties like yisrael beiteinu in OTL Israel.

Who will be the prime minister in that alternate history Israel? I can help you with that

And what do you think personally about Israel? does your ATL Israel borders coincide with the 1947 partition plan?

Breizhcatalonia1993 (talk) 10:27, February 17, 2013 (UTC)

The one in the Militburo

I agree in what you think of Israel, they can coexist and both nations deserve to have a state, but the foreign policy of the israeli government is FULL of errors.

And now I give you some ideas for Japan in Myomi Republic:

1- Hirohito could be granted a state funeral due to the motive it was the last emperor to reign before the instatement of the Republic

2- The Japanese imperial family may not get exiled and may conserve their non- imperial titles if they have any.

3- Some people of the Japanese Imperial family could participate in the political life of the country as normal citizens, as Simeon II did in Bulgaria.

Hey
Hey man. Well, would you be able to give me a brief outline of the timeline so far mate? I tried to look for the timeline page of Myomi Republic but I couldn't find it. I always think a timeline page for your timeline should always be on the top priority as it helps users see what is going on in your TL :)

So, if you could - I would then give you my opinion of how India could be. I always look up whenever someone talks about India on the wiki, lol :D  Imp (Say Hi?!) 16:26, February 23, 2013 (UTC)

That's no problem. If you want, someone will fix up ur pages for you, but they are not that bad:)

Chandra Shekar Bose, by far. Nerhu was almost a failure. There is a book called Freedom at Mignight, and it has a quote, "India was burning, yet Nerhu was trying to become Prime Minister". Bose was far more nationalistic, and would have focused on infrastructure and the army.

Do you plan on having a Pakistan? Imp (Say Hi?!) 11:23, February 24, 2013 (UTC)

As much as I would want to say no, partition was unavoidable, and so was war. However, a consequence of Bose coming to power would be that he would never have let Punjab be partitioned, or let East Pakistan to be formed.

He also would not have appealed to the UN about Kashmir (which is what a stupid Nerhu did), which would have submitted like the other Rajas and Nawabs of British India. However, Pakistan would still lay claim to Kashmir and I would see a Pakistani invasion around 1949/50.

However, because Bose would be in power, he would ensure that the Pakistanis would make no gains in Kashmir and would be repulsed.

If you would like more about what I think, you can ask - cause I hope I'm making sense to you :P  Imp (Say Hi?!) 13:59, February 24, 2013 (UTC)

No problem. I do think that if u choose the part about India to go this way, then you will have to write about the rioting in Bengal (cuase its mainly muslims dominated), unless you have contraceptives coming to India earlier.

I'm not joking about the contraceptive thing. If they arrive in India earlier, then the government would be sure to implement them in Bengal first, as it is very overcroweded, so its population today in ur TL might be around 50-75 million compared to OTL 131 million. This would mean less muslims, but it would also mean that it would limit the overcrowding of cities in Bengal.

Just what I think :)

OR - If you don't mind, I would like to contribute to your TL. Would I get the honour of writing the India page? :O  Imp (Say Hi?!) 14:40, February 24, 2013 (UTC)

Ah okay. I was curious since in your time-line the samurai class never emerged, and in OTL there is plenty of media that featured samurais (like for example).

And thanks. ^^

Also, does Shinto exist in your ATL Japan or did it never take form? -Kogasa  2013年2月25日 00:46:26 (JST)

 * No need to worry. I don't wish to be scaring off new users, so I would prefer bringing it up with them if needed.


 * Do you mean "dissolve" (I never heard the word "dissolute" before). Whether or not it dissolves is pretty much up to you (there is pretty much no right). However, I am not familiar with your timeline to give you a direction. All I know is Japan becomes a republic because Mongolia successfully invaded them (IIRC). I also came across that Stalin dies in the '20s. This would indeed make the USSR "less bloody," but probably less equipped defeat the Nazis, since Stalin helped industrialize and mobilize the nation. Not sure how that would work, but it depends on who takes over (and I don't know much about Kirov to answer that at the moment).


 * But if the USSR had an early "glasnost", than I wouldn't be surprised that the USSR remains in tact. As long as the economy is good and the people are happy, than the USSR could survive. --NuclearVacuum (Talk) 03:52, March 16, 2013 (UTC)

Like I said, it depends on who leads the USSR. It could be possible without the purges that it would have a better military, but it all depends. --NuclearVacuum (Talk) 15:02, March 16, 2013 (UTC)

Partition of Germany
Not impossible, but it likely would not be on the same terms or partitioned in the same divisions. Lordganon (talk) 13:06, March 20, 2013 (UTC)

i.e. not just East/West Germany, not divided as long as otl, the two divisions being entirely different in nature, you name it. Lordganon (talk) 13:29, March 20, 2013 (UTC)

No way you could make Poland that.

Poles won't join either the Nazis or Soviets unless forced into it.

Lordganon (talk) 09:29, March 21, 2013 (UTC)

Finland, possibly - but unlikely. Poland? No way. Lordganon (talk) 12:18, March 22, 2013 (UTC)

The Ukraine isn't going to get independence.

And even if it did, it does nothing to stop Soviet ambitions towards Poland - it makes them worse. That ignores, of course, the fact that the Ukrainians and Poles would never have made any sort of arrangement. Around half the territory of either state would be claimed by the other - at best. Add to that that Piłsudski advocated the idea of Intermarium - basically that Poland control the former Polish-Lithuanian Empire.

USA and CSA
19:16, March 23, 2013 (UTC)
 * 1) The only way the CSA could win is if they won battles and pushed far north. Lincoln was only assassinated because the CSA lost.
 * 2) However, if you do make the CSA win, guarantee that World War I and World War II could be changed entirely. If the US joins one side, the CS will almost definitely join the other side, and vice versa.
 * Yes, this could very easily happen, especially if the US is more agressive in taking Oregon Country. Newfoundland will be a bit harder, and could require a war.

Re: Yugoslavia Question
How's it going.

Well if the USSR becomes democratic prior to WWII (IIRC from your timeline), than most likely they would not back a communist state there (i.e., no Tito). This would probably leave open the return for the monarchy, or they could follow Italy and eventually adopt a new republican government.

Not too sure what to say about whether or not it would collapse like OTL. But if a democratic government is adopted (either monarchy or republic), and the demographic differences are look at carefully (religion, historic ethnic groups), than I assume it could last intact.

Hope that helps. --NuclearVacuum (Talk) 03:11, March 24, 2013 (UTC)

Lee's Malaysia
Hello, it's me, Hlanus. I wanted to say thank you for all your comments. You've given me a lot to think about on my timeline. I want to ask you something: I am trying to figure out how to proceed from Sukarno's death in regards to the timeline. I am asking you because you have more detailed knowledge of Indonesia than I have and I would really appreciate it if you could help me. The timeline, thus far, is that Indonesia is in a political and economic crisis from the recent rebellions and Sukarno's command economy. Now his death has left a power vacuum and the three main factions, the Islamists, Communists, and the military are trying to find a replacement. In our timeline, Suharto replaced Sukarno and steered the country vehemently toward the West and against the Communists. Since in my timeline, Sukarno retained power for another ten years, as the assassination of the officers that triggered his resignation and the purge of the Communists did not occur due to the rebellions, I doubt that Suharto would take over, but I could be wrong. Please help me out. Thanks for your time.

Hlanus (talk) 15:36, March 29, 2013 (UTC)Hlanus

Thank you very much for your input. I see that I have a lot of work to do. I was planning to have Indonesia and Malaysia here be a kind of miniature Cold War, standing in for the US and the USSR respectively, with Indonesia either collapsing into a bunch of different nations or reforming under a Gorbachev-like leader. But, if that is not feasible, then I will simply change it. What POD would you recommend for Indonesia to be more stable in the future? Perhaps if Malaysia and Indonesia were to become allies instead of rivals? Please answer as soon as possible. Thanks for your time.

Hlanus (talk) 05:28, March 30, 2013 (UTC)Hlanus

Thanks for the input. Just one question: if the coup attempt at Jakarta were to fail, how would it affect Malaysia, if at all? If there was no effect, then I simply need to add another POD. But if it were to have a more widespread effect, then I might have to rewrite the timeline. Please clarify. Thanks for your time.

Hlanus (talk) 06:19, March 30, 2013 (UTC)Hlanus

Just for clarification, I meant the POD in Malaysia.

Also, I did some research on the coup attempt you described and I thnk it was led by Nasution, protesting the People's Representavie Council's entanglments with the military and wanted them dismissed. I need to create a plausible reason why he chose to not make the coup attempt. I really appreciate all this.

Hlanus (talk) 06:40, March 30, 2013 (UTC)Hlanus

OK. I changed the Point of Depature to include Onn Jaafar successfully opening up the UMNO to non-Malay members and having Lee and Hilmy being his early supporters. The rest is the same, but I will change it to include the abortion of the October 17 coup attempt. However, I am not sure how to change the page title. Do you know how to do that?

Re:I need some of your advices
I am more than happy to help. Unfortunately, I am not an expert on Nazis, nor have I ever heard of Gregor Strasser. But from what I have been able to quickly read about Strasser and, here I was I can make out.

Strasser appeared to be anti-capitalist (tough not communist). Maybe this may help the German-Soviet relations.

While he seems to be antisemitic, I can't say how he would handle the Jewish population. If he is liberal enough in this regard, it may go no further than intimidating the Jews and maybe implementing an apartheid-like situation in Germany (or pressuring them to leave).

The creation of modern day Israel was mostly Britain's doing. The only thing Germany did in establishing the state was that it encouraged Jews to get the hell out of Germany (or else). At the most, Germany would only agree and encourage the emigration of German Jews out of Germany.

Aside from Finland and parts of Poland, the USSR weren't too keen on going to war with Germany. So long as Germany stays out of the USSR, Stalin would probably just leave them alone.

The Americans were mostly isolationist during the war, but FDR was looking for any excuse to go to war. When the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor, war was inevitable... against Japan. The main reason the US went to war against Germany after Pearl Harbor was that Hitler declared war on the US shortly afterwards. If Germany doesn't declare war (and ignores Japan [an ally]), the US would mostly leave Germany alone and focus on the Pacific.

Germany and the USSR did have a that only failed because Hitler betrayed the USSR in the end.

But in the long run, it depends on how Strasser handles Germany. All the allies (UK, US, France, USSR) didn't want war. Prior to WWII, Hitler was able to reassert German power, rematerialized the Rhineland, and annex German-speaking Austria. When Hitler demanded the Sudetenland (part of Czechoslovakia), Britain and France (more or less) told the Czechs that they were on their own (which pressured them to give up the Sudetenland). When Hitler eventually took all of Czechoslovakia, the western powers weren't going to play around anymore, and war began when Hitler invaded Poland.

I can't speak for Strasser, but if he is anything like Mussolini or Franco (or Stalin for that matter), he may go only as far as he can. I would guess that the annexation of Austria may be as far as he may go.

Sorry I can't be of too much help, but I don't know much about Nazi history. If it helps, try giving LG a note (he may be able to help you out more than I can). Also, try these links out. --NuclearVacuum (Talk) 17:01, April 21, 2013 (UTC)

Zheng China
Hello I just have a few questions for you. I used the Sultanate of Malacca in my timeline, but someone said that it was not around at the time, the early and mid 1400s. Was it called something else, because all the research I have done says it was. Also, is the timeline plausible, or am I way off? If you have answers, please post on the talk page on Colonization and Conquest (Zheng China). Hlanus (talk) 02:35, April 26, 2013 (UTC)Hlanus

Please Clarify ur message on my page im new here so i dont not know ho the thing works

None, Does it need to have a Timeline ?

Hello, Hlanus again. I have a question about Indonesian history, specifically Java and Borneo. I understand that both were ruled by the Majapahit up until the mid 1400s or so, but what I am curious about is Borneo after the Majapahit began to decline. All I have researched is Brunei, but what I want to know is about southern Borneo and what cities and kingdoms there were back in the 1450s. I am asking because on my Timeline 1424-1500 (Zheng China) page, which is basically a redo of my previous work, Zheng Tingxian is searching for cities along the Spice Trade routes to build trading posts in, but he wants to avoid Java due to the (from what I can gather) deeply divided state, with the Majapahit competing with the Sultanate of Ceribon and others for supremacy. I may be wrong here, so please correct me if I am. Thanks for your time. Hlanus (talk) 00:02, May 3, 2013 (UTC)Hlanus

So is Majapahit still largely in control of Java? If so, then would it make economic sense to establish trading posts there? I will make the necessary corrections. Thanks for your help. Hlanus (talk) 03:03, May 3, 2013 (UTC)Hlanus

I was not sure about Japan. I planned to have it become a more expansionistic power than otl because China's stronger naval and political influence would reduce the threat Europeans pose to Japan. At the same time, however, that same strength would deter Japan from trying to conquer Korea, because China has a stronger navy here and would be of great help to Yi Sun-Sin in his fight against Japan. I figured that instead Japan would expand into Indonesia and Alaska, but I was not sure. You think this is ok? Hlanus (talk) 17:45, July 2, 2013 (UTC)Hlanus

I would appreciate a partner, but just one ground rule: first off, do not do any editing except for spelling without consulting me first. I tried working with a couple of others before and they really screwed up the timeline, including a Ming-Vijayanagara war and it took me a long time to fix the damage. If you can work with these, then welcome aboard. Thanks for your time. Hlanus (talk) 16:44, July 3, 2013 (UTC)Hlanus

I perfectly understand. I just wanted to be clear after my previous experiences.

As for Japan's expansionism, I think the Ryukyu islands will be a target, but not so much Taiwan at this point. In this TL, China has a larger and stronger navy, and exerts greater influence on SE Asia, with her sphere of vassals covering Korea, Vietnam, Sumatra, Malaya, Laos, Cambodia, and the north Philippines. Taiwan would fall under that sphere more or less by default. Japan will probably avoid trying to conquer Taiwan until the Chinese undergo their dynastic transition. Until then, they would be best to avoid antagonizing the Ming. With their larger and stronger navy than otl, they can cut off Japanese troops from supplies and reinforcements, as Yi Sun-sin did OTL. Other than that, they should have a relatively free reign in East Asia. Hlanus (talk) 16:51, July 4, 2013 (UTC)Hlanus

I think you're right, and I like where this is going, but this chain of events will occur years down the line. Japan is still in the Sengoku Period, so there will probably be no expansion until after Toyotomi Hideyoshi unites the country, then he'll have the resources, the stability, and the soldiers necessary for overseas expansion. I think that by 1600, Japan should control the Ryukyu Islands and Hokkaido at the least, then Sakhalin and the Kuril Islands by 1610 at the latest, then the peninsula by 1620. After that, Alaska should be next, unless the Russians decide to stir up trouble. I predict that Manchuria will be a major point of conflict between Japan, China, and Russia after  1600.

One thing just came up win regards to Japan's expansion in my timeline: the Ryukyu Kingdom, which ruled the Ryukyu Islands, held dual tributary status with Ming China and Japan, and I am wondering if this would have had any effect on Toyotomi's plans for invasion. Just want to get it right. Hlanus (talk) 18:50, July 10, 2013 (UTC)Hlanus

Re:No Stalin, no Soviet?
While Stalin played a part in the establishment of a communist Russia, it was primarily Lenin's doing in creating the USSR. Stalin didn't play as much a role in the USSR's establishment. Stalin's only contribution was to make the new nation darker. Depending on the exact year Stalin dies would also play a role (as the USSR was established in 1922). My guess is that Stalin would have helped out enough by the time of his death, and an new leader would take charge. Who that would be I can't say for sure. --NuclearVacuum (Talk) 15:49, May 1, 2013 (UTC)


 * Yes, Lenin was becoming ill by this time (he will die two years after the establishment of the USSR). As I told you before, I don't know anyone specifically who would succeed Lenin. Why not give these forums a try. --NuclearVacuum (Talk) 16:06, May 1, 2013 (UTC)

Sergei Kirov seems alright. I wouldn't worry to much about the fact that Stalin gave a good word for him. Stalin treated Khrushchev negatively, and he became leader after his death.

What I may suggest is that after Lenin's death, a series of leaders attempt to take control, but fail to hold onto power. Kirov would than rise from the chaos. --NuclearVacuum (Talk) 16:27, May 1, 2013 (UTC)

Re:Missing image
Yes, I have been informed about this. I purposely left those links there because there is really no point in replacing them in the way you are asking.

Allow me to explain. Prior to 2012, the welcome sign that is automatically added to the talk pages of new users was added code for code, not a template that is used today. During this time period, that would mean that that particular link was added to every user page on this site, which is actually over 1,500 pages that would have to be edited.

I came to the conclusion that since the vast majority of these users are no longer here or were one-edit users, there is no real reason to fix them. What I have been doing was manually adding the new template to every user page I have come across.

I do appreciate you trying to help out, but if you want my advice, don't worry about this one. Unless you happen to have a bot, it really isn't worth it. As for the flag in question, I believe it was a duplicate of File:Union flag 1606 (Kings Colors).svg. The old template also had several other duplicate flags which are also on too many pages to really worry about. --NuclearVacuum (Talk) 15:54, May 4, 2013 (UTC)


 * I had to convince my mouse I was not going to do it in order for it to come back. XP


 * If you personally wish to go and manually replace them, than be my guest (I won't stop you). However (if I may), I would strongly request that you simply replace the old template instead of just that one link. As I have said before, there were several other files which are included, as well as the rule links having changed. Just remember to keep the signatures and dates the same (like this). Good luck. --NuclearVacuum (Talk) 16:21, May 4, 2013 (UTC)

No worries. If you wish, I will also help out on this. Definitely two people can get it done faster than one. I will also start tomorrow on some pages. --NuclearVacuum (Talk) 16:33, May 4, 2013 (UTC)


 * No need to be sorry. Not like we are on a deadline or anything. Congrats on your Graduation. --NuclearVacuum (Talk) 02:32, May 6, 2013 (UTC)

Long time!
Hey man! Indeed, long time no chat! Well I would like to start off with another story, lol.

There was a time - one and a half years ago, when another member came to odds with LG. The way he came to odds with him are very similar to Mscoree actually. They had great arguments, and the person in question - Kunarian, got blocked for a while.

At that point, call this deja va because I will (lol), I proposed the same thing. But the comments are recieved told me why I should not go ahead - you should read them, it will explain why it will not work that well. What I would like to tell you with the TSPTF is, that we do not hold an iron grip over the wiki, nor do we run the wiki like a police state. True, newer users are looked upon with more cautious eyes than what used to be the case, but we still are a pretty friendly place to be. That is the reason we actually rank 4th in the Wikia category for lifestyle!!

LG can be a pretty... dismissive person at times, and if you think so - there are dozens more active editors who can help you out. Me, for example, can help you out with your India problems in your TL.

LG does not abuse his power. That is a very common misconception about users. His dismissive tone does make it seem like it, but the reason is the him and Nuke take most of the shit some trolls throw up. They do most of the blocking, and that makes it seem like he abuses his power. I haven't quite got into the whole blocking thing yet, but when I do - it will lighten the load on them significantly.

Now, this does not mean there are not occasions that shake the wiki to the core. Arguments which involve him and some user might spiral out of hand and cause a lot of havoc on the wiki. This has happened quite a few times, and the reason it builds up is due to the fact that none of us actually intervene before it is too late. That is more to do with the attitude of the wiki and myself, not wanting to get involved - and that is a real shame.

Now, I'll be honest with you. I never thought I would be defending LG, not becuase I hate him or anything - I usually do not get involved unless it is nessecary. Yet what I have responded here with is all pretty true. So I hope I answered your suggestion, and I am sorry for the slightly late response - I just noticed your message now! :o  Imp (Say Hi?!) 22:07, July 15, 2013 (UTC)

What's ASB?

Russia is a republic, but, as history proves, empires can be republics (Germany 1918-1937), and it is a blend of socialist policies of the soviet union plus ultranationalism, that's what OTL Liberal Democratic Party of Russia defends.
