(Dublin Crisis)???
I intended all of the NA-related articles to go under the NA name. What you did for New Albion (Dublin Crisis) is the opposite. --User: cymra37

I wasn't sure how you wished them to work, and I'm fine for them to be set up some other way, there are just so very many Alt-hists that are being expanded that are not making pages specific to their althist. Please let me know how you want the titles to be (eg: France (Mitterand Lives), Russia (White Christmas) or something like that). Louisiannan 22:16, 14 April 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, I got all my articles an NA subtitle. I created a category as well. ==cymra37


 * Thanks so much! Louisiannan 00:22, 22 April 2006 (UTC)

(britlang)
I clarified the concept at talk:Brittanese Language --cymra37

Hemophagia

 * The subject can be expanded for an alternate history through the work of various people on this site. That's the point of a wikia. -- Jetli 07:29, 22 June 2006 (UTC)
 * The goal of this wiki, however is to present basic storylines, or start points for alternate histories and to build out from there. Some of the stuff you've contributed, I fear, is more along the lines of copyright violation. I'll leave the article stand, but you would probably do better to link it in as an alt-history on the alt-history list rather than a general article. Louisiannan 07:56, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

Categories
Please see under Category:Subnational entities to check. --Sikulu 13:55, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

WSMT - Spanish Colonial Empire
Ok, here's the jist of it-


 * Civil unrest in Spain trigered off by the (albeit abortive) French Revolution, and the Patriot movement in the Netherlands cause the spark for the revolts in Spanish America, starting in Mexico, then spreading southward
 * Eventually, with French help, Spain manages to deal with the revolutionaries, and makes Mexico (New Spain less the Captincy General of Cuba), Grenada (New Grenada), Peru and Argentina (Rio de la Plata) dominions, and install Presidents General like in the UPA
 * Later on, Guatemala, Cuba, Santo Domingo, Puerto Rico and Chile become more autonomous from their respecitve Viceroyalities
 * Louisiana, thanks to Anglo imigrants (who harbour republican views) try to make Louisiana (and probably the province of Texas) a republic, but Spain (with some British help) manage to crush the revolt, and Louisiana becomes a Dominion too

Hope this helps. (Do you want to do the whole Spanish Colonial Empire? It would save me some time anyway.) Cheers. --Sikulu 09:44, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

IB Map
You mentioned that you had a world map version of IB in bmp format. I was wondering if you could sent it to me? I was thinking of adding a few more Supranational maps to IB, but the wikipedia-style ones are jpg, and as such, not very easy to edit with paint. Cheers. --Sikulu 15:36, 17 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Can you send me an e-mail through conculture with your e-mail and I'll send it to you from home? ;) Louisiannan 15:58, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

Images
Heya there, sorry but I didn't realise there ws a limit on space here. I'll not upload any more images, but can I keep the ones already on the page? Rusty2005 22:48, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Yeah, that's fine. There's not _really_ a limit on images, but I really don't want to get image heavy, as I'm not sure how much space wikia will let us have.  For now the images that are here can stay...we'll see in the future if we ever need to remove them. :) Louisiannan 22:49, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Sounds fair to me :-)  Rusty2005 22:56, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

Editing code
How come a lot of the code on pages cannot be edited? For example, adding to category: history: country (or something similar) adds to the top. How are new proposals for articles added to the bottom? Exp.Fl.Cmndr. Mitth&#39;raw&#39;nuruodo 05:55, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

I believe Multiverse Agency is a copyright infringement of this172.209.63.229 07:33, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

Most Visited Articles
On the main page, there is a link to the "Most visited articles", but there's always an error when I click on it. If there is a way to show the most visited articles, I'd like it fixed so I can see how mine rank. If there isn't any way, the link should be removed. But I hope it can be fixed, because that would be interesting to see. --Riction 13:51, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

Rather than always fixing mistakes...
Since I've noticed that so many people fail to read the instructions and don't put their althist name in parentheses at the end of each article heading (as with "Richard Nixon" et. al., and most recently "Italy" etc.), I've come up with a good idea. After these most recent articles are moved, we can edit the pages with information on how to correctly name articles. I'd be happy to help with that. For example, for just "Spain", the body of the page would say "This page cannot be edited. If you want to contribute, please see the rules here." Then, we could copy and paste that message on almost every conceiveable country's name and famous person. As I mentioned, if you think it's a good idea, I'd be willing to help. --Riction 01:41, 31 December 2006 (UTC)


 * that's just an awful lot of work that I would rather avoid, if possible. But I'll keep it under advisement, because that may be what we have to do. Louisiannan 21:04, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

Village Pump ?
Dan, is there some sort of equivalent to the village pump on this wiki? If not, I think creating one (The Nexus ? the Time Node ?) might help encourage cross-contribution a bit more.

One thing in particular I've notice is the similitude in some timelines or the compatibility (comtemporary POD) os some. Since some prefer on this or that part of the world, it might help create more complex timelines instead of the all those stubs. --Marcpasquin 00:48, 29 January 2007 (UTC)


 * Sounds like a good idea to me anyway. --Sikulu 08:50, 29 January 2007 (UTC)


 * Alas, I believe that Nik has ultimate power here, but he has somewhat dropped from view. But I heartioly second the motion, if there is a way for it to be done!  Louisiannan 08:48, 3 February 2007 (UTC)


 * On closer inspection, it appears that the "Community portal" serves this function (although its rarely used). Perhaps a diferent name might be in order for this wiki though. --Sikulu 16:39, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

Discuss this page
Someone has put up this page. I'm not quite sure if we should keep it. --Sikulu 12:24, 18 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Nope. BALEETED! Louisiannan 02:48, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

Re: Hey!
I know, i know!...

It seems I have been too much distracted in es Wikipedia, my job, and my family.

Regards.

--Carlos Th (talk) 05:37, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

Hey, family is something that you should never have to apologize for. :) I'm just glad to see you around. :) Louisiannan 23:42, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

Replacement images
Hi Louis, I've uploaded some new images but as per your concerns on the amount of space they take up, I was wondering if I could delete some images I uploaded some months previously, to free up a little space. Can this be done? Rusty2005 15:16, 29 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Yes. It can be.  Link me the pages here and I'll nix'em. Louisiannan 05:27, 30 June 2007 (UTC)

Requesting sysop status
As I have stated on the Main Page's talk page I'm applying for adminship of this wiki. I'd like to do some cleaning every once in a while and already have experience with being an admin as the founder of the Dutch version of Uncyclopedia, the Oncyclopedie (Rongo is my user name over there). Villa Cruoninga 16:32, 14 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks for granting me the rights, I was planning to do this clean up according to the same strategy as we did on the Oncyclopedie, that is give the author approximately two weeks to improve the article. To do this I'll add a time stamp to the delete template. Villa Cruoninga 17:31, 20 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Welcome aboard! Sounds like a good plan.  Louisiannan 00:02, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

Chlewey's Response

 * Hello, Louisiannan.
 * May I say: "me too!"
 * -- Carlos Th (talk) 21:24, 14 August 2007 (UTC)


 * How about Chleweys offer? He seems to be one of the most regular visitors of this wiki, I'd say that makes him very suited to be a sysop. --Villa Cruoninga (talk) 16:57, 22 August 2007 (UTC)


 * I'm not sure if that's a "me too" for sysop status, or a "me too" for a good to see you. Let's ask him if he wants to be.  I wouldn't mind, as I trust him from experience on other wikis. Louisiannan 22:57, 22 August 2007 (UTC)


 * Both of them are okay.
 * -- Carlos Th (talk) 04:38, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

Share logo with polish althistory
Grettings, Louisiannan! As I am thinking, you're a one of admins here. You see, few minutes ago a polish Althistory wikia started her life (pl.althistory.wikia.com). If you will be so kind and allow us to use this logo on my wikia?
 * You have my blessings, just attribute it to me. Louisiannan 00:46, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

Minor issue
Hi Louisiannan, just a quick question - how do I go about changing the name of an article, rather than the text therein? Thanks :)  Rusty2005 21:20, 14 August 2007 (UTC)
 * You let me know which one you want changed and how you want it to look, and I'll gladly change it for you. :) Louisiannan 00:45, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

Att prata på svenska
Hej, Louisiannan.

Jag lärde mig svenska då jag bodde i Sverige ca 1991. Hur är det att du kan svenska ock?

Trouble with User Roberto Boberto
Hi Louisiannan,

seems we have trouble with User Roberto Boberto. He posts highly offtopic content on his user page (deleted by me) and randomly vandalizes pages.

PS: If you give me mod powers, I could stop such users earlier in future if I see them. I have quite some experience as a forum moderator on www.alternatehistory.com--Max Sinister 00:47, 7 October 2007 (UTC)


 * I've noticed you're quite prolific on our wiki. I'll look into the Moderator powers, young padowan. :) Louisiannan 21:12, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

Viva California
since it is the timeline of the month, is there any areas of it for which you might require help ? --Marcpasquin 07:38, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Areas outside of Western Europe and North America would be most helpful, as I've not really fleshed them out. And any contribution to Europe would be welcome so long as QSS is followed. Louisiannan 04:19, 13 October 2007 (UTC)

Lords of Germana
You had the timeline Lords of Germana marked for deletion in September. Seems it hasn't improved very much since then. Just telling.--Max Sinister 01:25, 26 November 2007 (UTC)
 * I actually misused the template. So it should be November.  Louisiannan 18:26, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

Nominated for deletion
Dan, I have nominated for deletion the timeline Red Napoleon for due to its using copyrighted and trademarked materials. The creator, Rusty, seem to have taken my nomination personnaly and refuse to do anything about it. Could you review the case and give your opinion as a neutral party ? --Marcpasquin 10:32, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Marc, why haven't I made you a sysop? You should be, for the volume of work you publish and police around here.  You interested? Louisiannan 21:26, 19 February 2008 (UTC)


 * maybe, what do I have to do ? --Marcpasquin 23:27, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

Newfound powers
I'll try very hard not to get drunk with power and start to cackle.--Marcpasquin 12:39, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

Flag USSA
How about one of these:

--Marcpasquin


 * Out of curiousity, where are the colors derived from? Louisiannan 13:40, 31 March 2008 (UTC)


 * the yellow and blue from the sedish flag, the red and whie were just an attempt to get the colours from the US flag. didn't turn out as good as I imagined honnestly.--Marcpasquin 14:42, 31 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Interesting. The colors of the blue and yellow merge such that the blue's more green to my eyes than blue.  What do you think about doing the blue darker, as in 3 & 4, but keeping a similar stylings to 1...so it ends up looking like #5.  What do you think?  Louisiannan 17:54, 31 March 2008 (UTC)


 * I like it--Marcpasquin 19:44, 31 March 2008 (UTC)


 * I just noticed on the USSA page that there was nine original colonies so maybe the flag should reflect this in term of stripes.--Marcpasquin 17:14, 1 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Oh, you're right... Louisiannan 18:11, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
 * What do you think of 6? Louisiannan 18:30, 1 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Looks good especialy since the horizontal bars are now the same height as the one in the canton.--Marcpasquin 19:20, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

Deletions
Hey, I've highlighted a whole bunch of my timelines for deletion. I'm leaving this message for a few of the mods - if nobody's beaten you to it, I'd appreciate it if you could delete the pages I've flagged. That's unless someone wants to take them over. Cheers, Cprhodesact 05:06, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

Map of Permian/Triassic
Thanks for the 2006 suggestion. I have now implemented it. Rickyrab 02:23, 16 May 2008 (UTC)

Derivative Work
what page should it go on ? --Marcpasquin 21:28, 24 May 2008 (UTC)
 * I'd imagine that you can put it under What is Alternate History, with links to it on Conventions in use in this wiki and Guide to good Althist writing. I'll trust your judgment whatever direction you choose to go with it. Louisiannan 16:41, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

Re:Kentish
I knew you'd ask me that :). Well, Kentish is a blend of Anglo-Saxon and Norman French-- in other words, it's the language I'm writing in right now!  If there's a conlang, it would be Englesk, or whatever the Anglo-Norse end up calling themselves.  I've never made a conlang before, though, and I don't speak particularly many real languages, either.  Benkarnell 19:03, 18 June 2008 (UTC)


 * You're right, of course. I also imagine Kentish more strongly Chauceresque, but the Nordic influence would be strong, yes.  Benkarnell 20:59, 18 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Thinking about this some more, if I ever decide to conlang, Englesk would have to come first, since Englesk would be the source of the Nordic influence on Kentish. Thanks for your interest.  Benkarnell 14:34, 19 June 2008 (UTC)
