Please try not to let this happen again. Do not re-upload this file. Do not remove this message from your talk page. Disciplinary actions will be taken if duplications continue. Thank you. -- 03:36, July 20, 2014 (UTC)


 * Do forgive me, but I didn't even notice the ratio (been a long day for me). As an apology, I went ahead an uploaded a new flag for you and corrected your page. Hope you don't mind. -- 04:54, July 20, 2014 (UTC)

Re:Two Americas
Greetings. While I did create it, I no longer have control over it. I handed the reigns over to SouthWriter many years ago, so you'd have to ask him.

Re: No Napoleon Adoption
Hey, United Republic! I have been setting aside No Napoleon for a while it seems. However, I am not willing to give away the timeline at this point, as I was planning to work on my old timelines like NN after I finish my current timeline. However, you are more than welcome to add pages and articles; heck, we could even consider it a collaborative timeline. Thanks for your interest, I'd love to see what you had in mind! ChrisL123 (talk) 04:15, September 17, 2014 (UTC)

Thought You Might Be Interested
You recently brought up Two Americas a while back, and I've been meaning to ask if you'd be interested in contributing on another one of my timelines. It's called 13 Fallen Stars and (in particular) I thought you might be interested in in this timeline. It's basically the CSA, though be it a smaller one.

If you'd be interested in working on this timeline than feel free to write me up. I look forward to your response. -- 02:23, October 1, 2014 (UTC)


 * I understand completely, so need to apologize. Glad to see you're interested. I look forward to seeing what you have in mind when you get around to it. Before you do any editing, I highly request that you read the for the timeline, and post your ideas to the talk page so we can discuss them before it becomes canon.


 * I also wanted to add about your timeline King of America that I'm really interested to see how this timeline plays out (despite me being a "monarch-hating republican" XP). I had no idea that someone was actually considered to become a king for the United States (this definitely would've made Alexander Hamilton very happy). Though if you'd allow me to critique this, I'm rather curious that you made the monarchy the "fourth branch of government" (I don't think this exists anywhere else). If you'd allow me to suggest an alternative (though you can take this with a grain of salt), why not have the executive branch consist of the monarchy, while the president would be the leader of the legislative branch (a ).


 * This would effectively make the United States a (likely with the King mostly being a figurehead). In many ways, the founding fathers wanted to have the legislature (Congress) be the more powerful branch of government (but this didn't turn out that way). With an established monarchy (which I'm sure the founding fathers would want to remain nothing more than a figurehead), this seems like a potential outcome for the US.


 * Like I mentioned, you don't have to listen to me (just my two cents). Regardless, I look forward to seeing what you have in mind for this timeline and beyond. -- 18:00, October 6, 2014 (UTC)

Re:Maps
Well it all depends on what you want. From the looks of it, the map of Louisiana you recently uploaded looks pretty well done. When it comes to simple, pixel maps like those, I just keep playing around until it looks appealing to the eyes (no real need to go into too much detail). If you'd like some world maps, here's a link to several good blank maps to work with.

Now if you're referring to the detailed maps I do, than that's a whole other level. But if you really want me to give you the basics, I'd be more than happy to try. -- 01:20, October 19, 2014 (UTC)




 * Thank you so much for the compliments. Unfortunately, I'm not accepting any map requests at this time (I simply don't have the time). But for now, I quickly added the requests you wanted (hope you like them).


 * The program I use is Inkscape for all my maps (it's free and easy to use). That flag of Alaska I had to make from scratch, tracing the coastline out manually, using layers to get the colors right, and added the little details. So do forgive me if I sound too technical, but I will try and explain how to make a simple map like I just did for you.


 * On Inkscape, you simply add the base map you wish to use (just Google something and paste it into the program). I use the pencil tool and (using the mouse) draw the coastline. Put the "smoothing" setting to 25 and this give a great illusion of a natural coastline. Once you've done the whole area, simply fill in the color you wish to use by clicking the object and and selecting the color (no need to fill in with a paint bucket). You can add interior borders the same way as the coastline, just you don't fill in and simply use the outline. If I didn't explain this well, I will try an repeat it.


 * I noticed you added my suggestion to your timeline, and I thank you for that. Not much else I can say without potentially altering your desires (I don't wish to do that). The only things I will add is that the Bahamas would likely not be included into Florida (don't see why that would be, but I don't know your reasoning). I'd also suggest you rename your state of "Borealia" into "Buffalo" (since there was actually a proposal to call Alberta and Saskatchewan the "").


 * I'm glad to hear you're reading up on the timeline. Though I must warn you that a lot of it still needs to be worked on. I've also been giving more thought to Carolina, so they might be added soon to help you out. If you need any assistance with this, please let me know. -- 02:43, October 20, 2014 (UTC)

South Carolina, CSA
Hi. I noticed in your bio has you in SC, CSA. That is so cool, since I guess you know that I live in SC (my icon kinda gives it away). I enjoyed our chat the other day. I look forward to further communication.

I also noted that you have communicated with Nuke concerning Two Americas. I think we can work together on getting our two CSA articles filled in. The CSA of myTL ended up fighting a much longer and bloodier war with little help from Britain and France. That course had been set by Nuke. Anyway, the least we can do is collaborate on bios -- my favorite part!

Presidential Election Game
Hello!

You're receiving this message because you either register in the most recent polls or because you're a Republican in the game (no polls out for them). I recognize that the game hasn't moved very quickly or as much as most players would like. I am working on that with Vatonica, since I have a lot of ideas but it's his game so I can't change anything on my own unless I become a mod. That being said, are you still interested? This is a unique game and has the ability to be very fun with the right adjustments! For now, I am putting on an unsanctioned candidates' forum that will either be today or tomorrow, where candidates can come and discuss their ideas/answer questions. Would you be interested in that? Let me know if you are! I'm sure this will be a fun idea for the game. If you yourself have any ideas, please let me know! AP (talk)

Hi UR,

I'm just reaching out to you because I'm concerned about what appears to have happened over the last few days and if there's anything I can do to help. I realize I wasn't available over the last day or two but I want you to know that if there's anything here that's bothering you just let me know and we can talk about it.

I'd hate to see you leave, you're a good user with quality timelines under his belt and you contribute well to the intellectual wealth of this community.

Let me know if there's anything I can do to help,

Help
Hey, I saw how you want help with the Russian civil war thing, I actually know a lot about Russian history myself and I was wondering if I could lend you my aid also if you want it.

Re:New Timeline Idea and Russian Civil War
I would be more than happy to give you my two cents.

By 1921, the RCW as "virtually over" (sorry to say). All foreign troops had withdrawn the previous year, with Japan being the only straggler (being close by and all). Though fighting was still going on here and there, the Reds were basically hitting a sick horse by this time.

Aside from Teddy redeploying troops which were already recalled, the only remaining scenario I could see (at least in regards to Teddy himself) would be to fully back Japan. Japanese troops were still located in the Russian Far East (at least for another year) and many in Tokyo were hellbent on annexing Russian territory (viewing the Russian Far East the same way the US viewed California during the 1840s).

Such a strategy would have no direct benefit or gain for the USA and would only serve to cripple the USSR as a Pacific power (but not enough to damage their overall power) and to rocket Japan into a more dominant position in Asia (completely rewriting the geopolitics of Asia).

So the options (most likely) would be to accept the Red's victory and move on (pretty much OTL) or side with Japan to cripple the USSR in the Pacific (but gain a more powerful rival named Japan). In hindsight, I should add that Japan having northern colonies could butterfly away the Pacific War down the line (since the area in question would be more beneficial to them in agriculture and resources. But again... a "Pacific Cold War" between the USA and Japan.

That's all I have for now. Hope this helps you out and/or inspires you. If you need any more feedback, I'm all ears. -- 04:23, May 13, 2016 (UTC)

Chat discussion
Your scenario in your tl, where Korea receives independence from the Japanese under American support, is doable. But there's going to be some major social and cultural changes.

Unless Japan does not relax its emigration policies, Korea will definitely have a sizable Japanese diaspora. I think Gyeongsang (the Hanja characters is read as Keishou in Kanji) would have the most Japanese immigrants, perhaps being half Japanese. Busan, Gimhae, and the surrounding metropolitan area would have a Japanese majority. The rest of South Korea would be a tenth Japanese, while North Korea will have a negligible Japanese minority. Assuming the Korean population of the peninsula would be at ~75 million, the arrival of Japanese immigrants could push it up to ~89.33 million. Due to the high Japanese plurality within Gyeongsang, I think it would be reluctant to leave Japan, and instead remain within Japan (though under further integration as a prefecture) whilst the rest of the Korean provinces secede.

Due to the longer Japanese colonial period, Korean surnames (e.g., Kim, Yi, Lee) could also be less common, and replaced by Japanese surnames. However post-independence the laws restricting the Korean names would most definitely be repealed, so I guess there'll be a revival of those surnames. As of Hangul, it'll probably be replaced by a modified form of Katakana during the Japanese colonial period as in Taiwan, but due to how easy it is to learn and write in it, it'll probably be revived post-independence to the point that the use of Katakana would be restricted to the Japanese diaspora. Despite being enforced on the population, Shintoism is unlikely to become a major religion within Korea, as people were only forced to follow it since it was compulsory. After independence, most Koreans would probably remain neo–Confucian or perhaps follow Korean Buddhism.

As for the political atmosphere post-independence, the United States would probably support Korean nationalist movements and development as a counterbalance against the Japanese. I guess economically, Korea would basically be in the same state as South Korea, but it would rely on the United States or China more for exports.

What is wrong with it? ReclaimLandThatIsMine (talk) 01:55, February 8, 2017 (UTC)

Excuse me, I see that you have nominated my first timeline for deletion. I would like to know why you have done this further. It says that this work has 'derived' a lot, which I agree with, but, then again, I have seen several timelines on this fandom that do.

I had a good time making this timeline, which I will state once again is my first, and in my own view, even if it doesn't improve to the website, what's the point of making it if you don't enjoy doing it?

I do, however, understand some of your logic, and if this page is indeed deleted, I will not raise a fuss over it.

Please contact me first though.

Warmest regards, Yours Truly

If you aren't happy with that I don't mind, but I'd like at least some recognition on my TL. Regards FranzJoseph24 (talk) 19:19, July 29, 2017 (UTC)

Do you want What I had planned for the TL or for a collab? FranzJoseph24 (talk) 19:47, July 29, 2017 (UTC)

I think that in a election results, Clinton doesn't win Georgia, may or may not win North Carolina, and a POD for her victory would also be a quicker victory from Sanders. For the first 100 days, rebuttals by Trump, Russia tensions, constant Republican Opposition but much more stable than OTL. Possible controversy over emails, may here a threat or two on impeachment but nothing currnently major. Paul Ryan could possible come out as 2020 candiadate with John Kasich as his VP. Foreign policy would be stable, and a Theresea May visit to the US could make a "who runs the world! Girls!" Moment possible. Syria intervention via a No Fly Zone would be proabable under the gas attack. Stuff like that. FranzJoseph24 (talk) 21:40, July 29, 2017 (UTC)

Restoring Redirects
Please be aware that using a redirecting page to link to Wikipedia does not work. They only direct to the article in question which simply links to Wikipedia (as opposed to going straight to Wikipedia). This is why I have removed the article Democratic and the subsequent additions you have added.

Please do not restore these redirects. Thank you. -- 04:07, November 17, 2017 (UTC)


 * I have fixed your infobox so it now uses the current name of the file in question. I understand your frustration over the removal of the redirect, but please bear in mind that the file in question is only being used for one article (making the need for a redirect redundant).


 * You made it clear that your reasoning for having the previously mentioned redirects were for aesthetic purposes only. I do hope you agree that me deleting your file redirect and editing your infobox to correct the naming error do not change the aesthetics of said infobox in the slightest.


 * I would also like to give you a fair warning. What you have been doing over the past few days by reverting my edits is called edit warring, and this is something that users have been banned for. Rather than blindly reverting them, I would like to request that you bring them to my attention and give your side of things (such as you did with the "Democratic" redirects mentioned days ago).


 * I do hope we can work this out peacefully. But if you continue to revert my deletions, I will have no choice but to bring in a third party and the TSPTF. -- 03:29, November 18, 2017 (UTC)

You have once again reverted another one of my deletions. Please tell me why restoring something with no links to it was necessary?

This will be the last time I ask you, please stop! If you revert or restore any more of my duties, I will be forced to get other admins involved. -- 02:05, November 19, 2017 (UTC)


 * When an article is renamed, anyone who watches them will automatically follow the newly named article. The user in question will still be able to find their article without issue. Please note that there are reasons why I do specific things. -- 21:32, November 19, 2017 (UTC)
