It happens every time I try to edit the NationInfo Box and I don't have a clue why.. Verence71 18:30, March 1, 2010 (UTC)

Infobox editing is bugged in the new editor. When editing, go to source mode and remove all the "includeonly"sOerwinde 18:47, March 1, 2010 (UTC)

No cooperation
Hello there. I have been having some trouble with User:Bill Potter. I asked him before to please not expand or work on my articles, because I have not yet completed them. He has continued to edit and expand upon them after me asking him not to. Just a few minutes ago, I have asked him a second time to stop and bring them up for discussion. Instead, he ignored me and continued to edit my page. I would be really appreciative if you could have a word with him, or to do what ever is possible to have him stop and discuss his ideas. Please and thank you. —NuclearVacuum 18:44, March 5, 2010 (UTC)

PUSA
I understand and respect the PUSA's ideals. That isn't what I am going against. I am just frustrated at the seemingly endless stream of naive fools that want to make the PUSA expand at a ridiculus rate. Its fine that there is a sucessor to the US, but it would expand a lot slower than what some people want it to. I am attempting to be more realistic, and there would surely be survivor states that would have gained enough of an idependant identity to reject any attempts to absorb them. Not all of the states in the former US would be so eager to sign up to join the PUSA. Leaders aren't going to be interested in surrendering their power to become "governors". The two major states in the southeastern US no longer consider themselves American. In fact by the time the PUSA gets to the Virginian border (at a more realistic rate of expansion) most are going to be like Robert E. Lee. They would consider themselves Virginians first and foremost.


 * It is not that the PUSA wants to "absorb" any states that are "in the way." Though I don't necessarily agree that so many states would take the opportunity to secede from a nation just because the government had collapsed. Virginia, being adjacent to the capital, would be a logical successor to the old union -- if it so wanted it. However, if you have read this timeline fully, you can see that the "last president of the United States," George H.W. Bush, stayed on beyond the constitional limit before giving up on the contenental USA in 1995. Even then, he set up a contingency clause to allow for a continuing nation of any survivors. The rate of expansion in this time line is reasonable, even overly pessimistic. That the two Texas republics haven't combined by now, much less not joined with their cousins to the north, is unusual. That the struggling survivors in the Southeast would want to re-connect with the USA, even knowing that the government dissolved, is not that unusual. The two strong states -- Kentucky and Virginia -- have indeed developed an independent spirit over the last two decades. However, the assumption of the PUSA is not the same as the dream of the CRUSA. If in this time line the government had not abandoned the continental US so easily, the nation might have been savable.


 * As for a "endless stream of naive fools," that is extremely offensive, and only the opinion of one apparently new to this group. That a group of western states might take it upon themselves to assume that they are the only survivors is what seems rather unusual to me. If anything, the survivor states of the southeast have a better "claim" to continuing the government. But any surviving town or city with a federal courthouse would have had "agents" of the government that could carry on their duties with an assumption that they were still "in charge." These officials could work along beside local governments until "official" word came through. It is the naiveté of us editors in considering the myriad of factors that would transpire in the actual case of an apocolyptic that makes this whole time line less real. That there would arise those who would wish autonomy is certain. But that each would, or could, succeed is another thing altogether.SouthWriter 00:29, March 10, 2010 (UTC)

Hunkins' states
Hi, again, Mitro. If you haven't noticed, I have been trying to fill in the missing pieces with the Provisional United States. I have now come to the Hunkins' states. Supposedly, under a constitution much like the original, the new president was able to "push through" the creation of states carved out of the states of every original state but Kansas. However, this would have to be ratified by the states involved, leading to a later admission date than 1993. I am going to change their admission dates to 1994 to reflect this.

I am going to put up two place holder articles for these states and add to them once you and any other editor have had a chance to give some input on the talk pages. I look forward to the input. --SouthWriter 18:31, May 8, 2010 (UTC)

Essex
Hi Mitro,

I've been recommended to talk to you by Verence71 on the issue of my new 1983: Doomsday nation (Essex) as it is part of a growing number of British survivor states. I'm not sure exactly what I should be asking, but I presume it's along the lines of 'Please can you look at my article and decide whether there's room for another nation in Britain - and if there is, is mine canon?'

Thanks for that.

Fegaxeyl 07:57, March 22, 2010 (UTC)

A Question
Could the steel mills at Wheeling be fully restored by 2010? This is based on the fact that the Virginians uses its criminals to restore infastructure in radioactive terrain, and because as a vital part of local industry the mills would be a priority site for restoration. And lets face it, the Virginians need the steel for the weapons for their oh-so-important army. I have a novel solution they could use for the interim period. Recycled steel and aluminum from old abandoned cars and other sources (including farm equipment). That is pretty funny when you think about it. The Virginians are the only ones turning old plowshares into swords!

South American World
Hi Mitro I would like you to see my article South American World, and help me in it, and then turn it into a big "franchise" like 1983: doomsday, It would be cool if south American world would have more than 2 articles ( southa American World and Nova Africa) and a news page, and a lot of people making things for it like 1983.

Hey, just popping in

 * This is Lahbas, and, while not having nearly as much time as I used to work on it, I would be glad to anwser any questions you may have on any of my former projects (some of which have produced some chatter following my absence). What brought me most to write this, however, is the Canadian refugee problem with regards to Superior. This is potentially problematic, because I did take this into account, but it never occured to me that there would be anywhere THAT many. If that is the case, Superior's foreign policy would be radically different. For one, it would actually be neutral in the Saguenay War (for political reasons), though it would not stand for the possiblity of Saguenay's annexation to Canada. Also, the northern territories would have developed differently, and might actually have become states before even Mackinaw. I'll have to do some thinking. How many people are we talking about though within the region that Superoir not only directly controls, but has influence over? Lahbas 21:32, March 26, 2010 (UTC)

Help
Hello there, Mitro. I'm pretty new to the Alternate History Wiki, and I love this site a lot. I have plenty of ideas for alternate histories. However, even with the help of the tutorial and such, I am confused on how to insert certain things, etc. I am currently concentrating my efforts on "The Congress of Toulouse." If you could do anything, that would be very kind of you. Thank you.

Greetings New here
Greeting to you sir,

I wanted to say hello.

I'll be trying to adopt a page, but will have to play in the sandbox a bit to get the hang of things.

But should others be looking for a new person, I am around.

What Could Have Been

 * Hey Mitro, I need you to tell me what you think of this page I am writing. I is kind of a build off of "What Might Have Been", just a different election. Along with any nitpicks, I would like to know who you think would win the general election in 1968. To be honest, I don't know who to choose.......Lahbas 12:59, March 29, 2010 (UTC)
 * Mitro, can you tell me what you think? Where I am right now I cannot find any other second opinions.Lahbas 14:56, March 30, 2010 (UTC)

A lot of the pages I have made are registered to "an unknown user", which was me, though not logged in. Is there any way to make them my pages??

Problem with Nation Info Box
Mitro, thanks for stepping in to help me with my problem on the UAE. I have been going crazy for awhile trying to figure whiy I keep experiencing problems when I try to add a nation infobox to my articles., which is why I have not added any recently. No matter what I seem to do, my text vanishes and appears inside the box. I have explored this a number of different ways, but am unable to figure out the issue. Can you offer any thoughts as to my problem, I would be appreciative? Thanks.Fxgentleman 23:10, April 2, 2010 (UTC)

Help with Images
Hi, I'm currently working on my French Trafalgar, British Waterloo timeline and I'm trying to add the flags and coat of arms of several nations in the Nation info Template, but I sometimes get a red link. I do most of the linking from Wikipedia, mostly from the nation info boxes their, so they should work, but don't.

Do you have a suggestion to try to fix that? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for all of the help you have provided me so far! Tbguy1992 20:13, April 5, 2010 (UTC)

A NAU floater bar
Mitro, would you agree that we should have a NAU consituent bar for those states that belong to the NAU? Louisiannan 19:19, April 8, 2010 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure how to collapse them. I know that wikipedia does it somehow. We need to find someone good with the scripts that can do that sort of thing for us. Louisiannan 19:41, April 8, 2010 (UTC)
 * What about this? If we do it this way we can have a subgroup for the Dixie Alliance if that's approved and move people from the fmr US to the NAU section as they migrate/if they migrate. Louisiannan 21:20, April 8, 2010 (UTC)

What Could Have Been

 * Hey, I just want you to let me know what you think of it now; it has greatly expanded since you last checked. On another note, I just realized that I forgot to add the whole "UFO" incident with Goldwater. I might add that in later today. Lahbas 10:46, April 14, 2010 (UTC)

Adoption question
Can you please help me out? There is a timeline I stumbled upon yesterday, called "Divided Japan." It gave me interesting idea on how I could expand or improve on the timeline. Though the timeline is not up for adoption, The timeline was created in May 2008, and was not touched until a year later by an unregistered user, which in turn was removed by another user. I don't know if that would qualify for this timeline to be up for adoption, but I wanted to ask. You see, I am now interested in doing a similar timeline, but I would much rather help out this one since it appears to have been abandoned. I just wanted to know if I could adopt this timeline, even though it is not up of adoption. --NuclearVacuum 14:59, April 15, 2010 (UTC)
 * Thank you very much. I will do just that. --NuclearVacuum 15:03, April 15, 2010 (UTC)

Response to welcome back
Thanks! Sorry I haven't been contributing, I suppose I got distracted by real life. Soon I'll probably finish up the Saguenay war and aftermath. But I don't think I'll go back up to my original contribution level, I'll just keep an eye on Canada and its neighbours. I might try to expand on my own personal althists, which are admittedly not very good at the moment. --DarthEinstein 16:34, April 15, 2010 (UTC)

New Richmond
When do you think is the soonest the Virginian national government should move to "New" Richmond? You could factor in that "recently" could be a year or two ago.

Easternized World Featured Info
Here is the info you wanted. I hope this is a good place to give it to you. Below is my blurb:

"Instead of the West gaining power and colonizing much of the world, the East does so. Tang Dynasty China survives longer, eventually being replaced by another native Chinese dynasty that crushes the Mongols and moves on to take over much of the world. Japan and Srivijaya also become great powers and compete against each other and with China for colonies and riches. This comes to produce a more Easternized world."

And here's a pic: http://althistory.wikia.com/wiki/File:Map_World_1850_(Easternized_World).png

Thanks for the head's up! I'm excited about it! --Riction 18:22, April 21, 2010 (UTC)

Napoleon's World Info
Thank you so much, it really means a lot. I've put a lot of work and effort into this TL. If there are any areas where you can suggest improvement, let me know, it's an ever evolving TL.

Here's what you wanted:

"Instead of invading Russia in the winter of 1812, Napoleon Bonaparte falls ill and stations his Grand Army in Borodino and Smolensk. That following spring, he launches an invasion of Russia, defeating the Russian army at Petrograd, where Czar Alexander perishes. The 'Imperial Wars' end shortly thereafter following the Forty Days Campaign to defeat the British, and Napoleon spends the next twenty years consolidating the Empire before his transference of power to his son, Napoleon II in 1832 and his death in 1844. The French Empire would continue to assimilate Europe and engaged the United States of America in the 20th century in a Cold War."

Puerto Rico
Hey, Mitro. I wanted to touch base with you here before changing the article. As I pointed out in a note there, the US Naval base was not where the article says it was. The controversal testing range was on the small island mentioned, but the base was on the far eastern tip of PR. The small town of around 12,000 might have lost maybe 6,000 people when the base was hit (if it were a 100 kt bomb) and the main island would have been spared any fallout due to the tropical depression to the north which caused a wind to blow basically north by north west away from the island.

PR is, in fact, the southernmost target, so it would not get much fallout at all (certainly not 'raked with fallout'), even from Santiago, Cuba. The tropical depression pretty much determined where the fallout ended up. SouthWriter 03:57, April 22, 2010 (UTC)

Go ahead and split the article - I'd say have an RTFA article and then leave the other article for France. Louisiannan 19:21, April 22, 2010 (UTC)

Iran and MLA
Hey Mitro, I'd like to hear your opinion on these two articles if you're up to it. I ask as I see you had some interest with Iraq, Iran and similar articles and because Fx seems to be a bit busy at the moment with work and all so he hasn't given me anything to work with. So, I'm really in need of another persons point of view on the matter. I look forward to what you have to say.--Vladivostok 08:46, April 29, 2010 (UTC)

Concerns
Hello, Mitro. Seeing that you reign supreme over this wiki, there are several things I would like to talk to you about. First off, I logged on to find that one of my proposals for 1983: Doomsday, the "Commonwealth of California", was marked obsolete. This both upset me and dumbfounded me, since there was no logic, no consent, or no approval of that article being marked obsolete. Originally, it was conflicting with plausibility issues such as population and location, but thanks to massive help from Yank, everything was made to coincide with canon. May I ask why it was marked obsolete, and who approved of this? On the pages' respective talk page, and on the main 1983: Doomsday discussion page, there was not one comment from any of those who helped create it, nor from any other admin, that it should be marked obsolete. Perhaps you misinterpreted? Please get back to me when you can. Arstarpool 17:32, May 2, 2010 (UTC)

Dude, nobody ever said "this has to be made obsolete or else. Me and Yank had to change some things, but after that we had no other trouble. The only problem with the article is that you have marked it obsolete based off of false pretenses. Just please change it back, me and Yank put a tremendous amount into working out all the problems. Arstarpool 23:43, May 2, 2010 (UTC)

Help on maps and the article "The Congress of Toulouse"
Hello Mitro. I originally left a similar message, though I was not logged in by accident, haha. I would like to request with maps especially, and see if you could give any help with the Congress of Toulouse article that I created. If you could, that would be great.

The Newer Map Game
please did not delete my game. signed by calthrina950

To answer you question "How can Russia expand so quickly in less then ten years?" Yinsolav took five years to build up and modernize his military. With his newly organized and modernized military, he expanded Russia's borders. Yinsolav consolidated his rule in those new territories by bringing in Russian settlers. Signed by Calthrina950

I am trying to be a little realistic. Gunpowder existed only in China at that time, and Yinsolav signed a treaty with them to gain rights to that. Also, Yinsolav wasn't called "the Wise" for nothing. He believed Russia needed to be as glamorous and powerful as the Roman Empire was. Yinsolav would take his entire reign to fully accomplish this (he will reign until 1295). Signed by Calthrina950

I take your point. I will rename The Newer Map Game the Russian Expansion Timeline. signed by Calthrina950

South Florida Population
Seeing that no matter what I put at the population, even minor changes, will be rounded automatically by you to 86,000, (how you have it down to that exact number I do not know) I will present my case. The largest city in the reigon is Cape Coral at approx. 150,000. The counties which make up Southwest Florida, together, come in at 1,700,000 people. Assuming back in Doomsday times that there were 1,300,000 people, and seeing that the only nuked spot in the reigon was Key West, the population might go down to 900,000 in the upcoming years. However, the population would problably rise, not fall, since refugees in the thousands would be coming from Miami and Tampa. Someone had once suggested 800,000, and while that is a generous number, I do not see that possible in this timeline with elements of starvation and disease. I am going to leave it at 400,000.

I will not negotiate any lower or higher. Arstarpool 01:22, May 10, 2010 (UTC)

Hi, I wrote the TL The Hammer of America. I thought I deleted the page because I was discouraged by a guy who will go unnamed that I assume is not on this wiki. I recently got a brain blast on how to make it better. Snce I thought it was still deleted, I started a new one called What Iron And Blood Hath Wrought. I just now saw that my old one is still here.

Editing Templates (OTL equivalent)
Hi Mitro. I was wondering if there was any way to add multiple equivalent pages for alternate history nations. I was looking at the template code, and from what I can gather (I am only a novice 'programmer'), there is a "If and only if" clause that allows a link only to ONE wikipedia article. Could that be changed to look for additional pages following a comma and a break (since page titles often include commas)? I am not a good enough programmer to attempt to edit the template! Thanks.
