The Alternate History Wiki is a project for all communities concerned with creating fictional alternative histories. We hope you will feel at home here and wish you good luck contributing to our ever growing collection of alternative histories. Regards, -- Mitro (Talk) 03:10, September 11, 2009
 * If you have no experience in editing wikis it is advisable that you first read our guide on making articles.
 * As an introduction to the phenomenon of Alternative History you can read our pages on Alternative History, Online Alternative History as well as Wikipedias article on Alternative History.
 * A list of all AltHists alphabetically sorted can be found here, a list sorted by Point of Divergence can be found here.
 * To sign your posts on talk pages use ~ (four tildes). This will insert your name and timestamp. To insert just your name, type (three tildes).
 * If you are in need of ideas to base your AltHist you might consider looking at our ideas page.
 * For an explanation of frequently used terminology please visit this page.
 * You can experiment in the sandbox.
 * All articles on this wiki take the following fomat: Name of article (Name of AltHist). This rule does not apply to the main article of your AltHist wich you can simply give the name of your AltHist.
 * For links to other Alternative History related sites visit our links page.

 * I think that's what you meant, but I'm not sure. - Mister Sheen 17:35, December 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * You could just do it the way you would create any other page (make a redlink from another page, and click on the link to start creating the category). Since it's a category, the link shows up at the end of the article.
 * As for templates, my skill mostly goes as far as this kind of thing, which doesn't really count because I'm just using another template to make it. I'm trying to learn more wiki-code, but I've never been great at that kind of thing. - Mister Sheen 18:48, December 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * Definitely! I'd take history and literature over science and technology any day. - Mister Sheen 20:47, December 10, 2010 (UTC)

Chicago (Napoleon's World)
What do you think would happen to Chicago in the Napoleon's World timeline? I'm guessing that it would fade into obscurity, and large amounts of the population (or all of it) would leave. If the city doesn't end up liek Gary, it would probably end up like Detroit in OTL (of its 137 square miles, 60 are completely uninhabited).

 * National Championship at the Sugar Bowl: #1 Huron Highlanders (13-0) vs. #2 Nova Scotia Sea Lions (12-0)
 * Huron Highlanders

College Football
Great idea, man. I don't really follow the season much, but here's my picks anyway: - Mister Sheen 22:28, December 19, 2010 (UTC)
 * Huron Highlanders
 * LSU Tigers
 * Indiana Hoosiers
 * South Carolina
 * Northern Apachia
 * Maryland Terrapins
 * Eastern New York Flying Dutchmen
 * Florida State Seminoles
 * Alabama Crimson Tide
 * Massachusetts Minutemen


 * Ah crap, can I change my vote? I haven't accidentally voted against a Minnesota team, too, have I?
 * Yeah, that's why I picked Alabama, too. Anyone who plays Michigan is alright with me! - Mister Sheen 21:51, December 20, 2010 (UTC)

To be honest, I think ya picked the wrong person for someting like this, but I will still suggest who I think should win, if you want.


 * Nova Scotia Sea Lions (cause, well I'm Canadian)
 * LSU Tigers
 * Pacifica Orcas
 * Kahokia Thundering Herd
 * Cuba Spaniards
 * Maryland Terrapins
 * Eastern New York Flying Dutchmen
 * USC Trojans
 * Michigan State Spartans
 * Nebraska Cornhuskers.

These are my picks, but I'm not a major football fan (or for that matter baseball, hockey, soccer (ahem, actual football, in case anyone not from North America is reading this), or for that matter, most sports). Still, I hope this still works for ya! Tbguy1992 01:18, December 20, 2010 (UTC)

Tables
You're welcome. The fix was an easy one. Harder was to find the accompanying map. As a suggestion, It would be nice if the article at least gives out the names of the territories of the French Empire outside Europe. JorgeGG 01:51, December 21, 2010 (UTC)

A query from a friend...
Hey KingSweden, I got a question for you based on FTBW, of you would like to help me.

I'm just wondering if where I am in my TL (about the late 1930's, just before ATL's World War Two) makes sense, cause recently I've been uncertain about how well it works, and if it make some sense.

If you could let me know, that would really help me, especially now that I'm home for the holiday's and done exams, so I have time to work on FTBW. Thanks a lot! Tbguy1992 19:23, December 22, 2010 (UTC)


 * Well, thank you for your advice, and I have been looking over it, and saying "it fits at the moment, so it works."


 * But, from your point of view, do you think their is something that I should go into more detail about? Becuase, to be honest, I really don't know, and won't really get to that point for a while longer, when I start working on my other articles. I'm mostly asking you cause I need a second opinion, cause you know an artist will say "I like this," no matter its flaws or mistakes, mostly because they made it. I'm like that, so I need some feedback to help improve it. I hope you understand.


 * Thanks, and Happy New Year! Tbguy1992 04:24, December 30, 2010 (UTC)

Napoleon's World
Way I figure it, your timeline is one of the best two on the site, quite honestly. Always nice to read a good article, lol.

I'll remember that if I have any ideas for you - cant think of any off the top of my head, but I know I did have a couple halfer's for ya at one point. Now to see if I can remember, lol.

Can't wait to see the end of the Alaskan War, myself. When that thing's done I'm pretty confident it'll be the best on the wiki, lol.

Lordganon 10:22, January 8, 2011 (UTC)


 * More or less what I'd meant, lol. Lokk forward to the rest of the article. Lordganon 21:55, January 10, 2011 (UTC)

Batman vs. Superman, dude that's genius! I'll have to take a look at all the other media pages, they sound awesome too :) - Mister Sheen 18:03, January 9, 2011 (UTC)

Congratulations, King Sweden
Your and Yankovic's article Alternate Destinies (Napoleon's World) is the winner of the 2011 Stirling Lifetime Achievement Award for an Article. You may discuss with the co-writer about how to display the award, which the both of you may do in any way you see fit.

Of all the article that could have beaten my own, I'm pleased that it was that one. Keep up the good work and good luck in the next year. Red VS Blue 23:12, January 26, 2011 (UTC)

TSPTF
Would you be interested at all in a position on the TSPTF? Lordganon 15:55, January 31, 2011 (UTC)

Well, it would more so be a Lieutenancy - which is basically helping to police the wiki by reverting bad edits you see and banning those who vandalize the wiki, not really coding or anything (though, you could do some of that if you wanted, lol). Not really time intensive, honestly - just keep half an eye out for bad edits when you look at the recent changes on the wiki, and have a look to see if there is any uncategorized articles/categories when you have a chance/the time(not that there is usually any of these to worry about - me and Mitro usually catch them all)

Yeah, those are pretty interesting little articles. Would Kialgory and Evgenigrad be alternate versions of Calgary and Edmonton, by any chance?

Lordganon 07:01, February 1, 2011 (UTC)

Yeah, there's a few vacancies right now ;) Always done by vote, in the end - and, if you're interested, I'll nominate you.

Perfectly reasonable to inflate them - both otl can support a lot more in their metro regions than they do. Though, as an Edmontonian, I feel I must ask you to have Evgenigrad be the larger of thew two, lol.

Lordganon 10:14, February 1, 2011 (UTC)

Actually, not really. Calgary can be a touch warmer sometimes in the winter, as it gets "Chinook" winds occasionally that bring in warm air from the Okanagan Desert and other hot areas in southern BC. But, it's otherwise a touch colder because its at a bit of a higher elevation. More or less evens out. Lordganon 04:14, February 3, 2011 (UTC)

I should add as well that the population difference between Edmonton and Calgary is mostly an accident of history - Edmonton as a settlement is far older, dating to the original fur-trading posts there long before the arrival of Alaska atl. The CPR was put through the Calgary area originally because there was no real land claims on the line already there, while to the north there was. Atl, Alaska would have any such line running further north, for security concerns. And then there's the oil found at the turn of the century near Calgary that got all of that infrastructure originally installed there, which probably wouldn't really happened either. Lordganon 05:03, February 3, 2011 (UTC)

No doubt, that would indeed happen. At any rate, you've given it all the nice oil, energy, and technology, so I can live with it, lol.

Have you given any more thought to the TSPTF offer?

Lordganon 06:24, February 3, 2011 (UTC)

You have now been nominated. All you have to do now is head over to http://althistory.wikia.com/wiki/Alternative_History:Request_for_user_rights and accept the nomination. Lordganon 22:50, February 3, 2011 (UTC)

Stewart/Stewart's Follies
There seems to be some clash between your new "Stewart" article and the Television article. It has allready been established that Jon Stewart's alternate history sitcom was more of a ATL Drew Carey Show than an alternate Seinfeld. Just letting you know.

Yank 03:08, February 5, 2011 (UTC)

Alexander III
Hey man, Thanks for complemnting on my work!, The photo i used for Alexander III was Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov, In OTL, He was a famous Russian composer and apart of "The five". Don't mind if I add some photos to the articles?

Actually, would you mind telling me the list of Tsars of Alaska?, If you can, I'll be glad to make some edits of there profiles.

Some "Napoleons World" edit updates.
So, I saw some of the photos you had of some Tsars, Well, I got some photos of them in old age, On "Alexander I" Im going to make that photo you posted into the photo of him being a prince, same with the others if you post tsars in there younger stage, also i saw the flag you created, I'm sorry man but im not digging it being a national flag, but let me see i can do with it.

This is not a big deal, but I managed to improve your map of the U.S. in your Naploeon TL. I got rid of the small white dots and colored in the missing U.S. land (District of Columbia, small islands, etc). BlackSkyEmpire 22:57, February 15, 2011 (UTC)BlackSkyEmpire

Maurice I
John XX, Ironicaly, the Pretender to the Bourbon throne

Also I have some really awesome ideas for NW, Care for me to share?

02:53, February 16, 2011 (UTC)

I'm sorry to say this but theres a problem with that image of Edmond. It has the Iron Cross in it which is more of a symbolism for German Imperialism then French Imperialism. Heck even look at a picture of Frederick William III, he's wearing it.

Congratulations
Congratulations, you are now a Lieutenant in the TSPTF. This allows you to showcase the TSPTF membership badge on your user page. Furthermore it gives you administrator powers on this wiki. I would like to spend sometime discussing those powers:


 * You should now notice a red button at the top of every article with the word "Delete". You can use this to delete articles, obviously. Use this power sparingly and always stay within the framework of the Deletion Policy. The policy itself was passed with little discussion, so if you have any suggestions or comments regarding it I would be glad to hear it.
 * You can also block users from editing. This can be done by clicking on the History page for articles or the Contributions tab on editor's user pages. Again, use this sparingly. This is our most destructive tool. We don't have a policy on this, but there is a general custom that has been followed: always assume good faith with edits (unless obviously vandalism), warn before blocking (try using the three strikes approach) and start with short block durations for first time offendors. Generally other administrators will not interfere with your decisions regarding blocks, as long as it appears fair on its face.  Permanent blocks, however, must be brought before the TSPTF as a whole and will only be confirmed if there is a 2/3 approval.
 * You will also notice a button on the top of every article that says "Protect". With this you can prevent certain people from editing a single article. The first level prevents anons and new users from editing an article. The second level limits editing only to administrators. Use this to prevent excessive vanadalism or to prevent edit wars between users.
 * In the History page of an article you will notice a new option called "rollback". This is an anti-vandalism tool. It allows you to quickly undo edits in case someone has made more than one edit to a page. By clicking rollback it will immediately revert the article to a time before the offending editor edited the page.
 * There are other obscure powers that are not used often. If you have any questions on those or the ones I mentioned above, feel free to ask me.

Finally if you go to the TSPTF page, you will notice that we have a list of Responsibilities. In reality, none of us have the time to devote to all of the duties that are expected of an administrator of the wiki. You are expected, however, to sign up for at least three responsibilities listed in that section. These are duties that you are agreeing to carry out to the best of your ability every time you are on this wiki. I'm hoping that by doing this the members of the TSPTF can efficiently share the work load of the wiki and gives us time for the real reason we are here.

Again, congratulations on being elected to the TSPTF and good luck. Mitro 15:27, February 17, 2011 (UTC)

Yeah sure thing. Also i didn't make that poster, I just added the 2002 bit. lol

South America (Napoleon's World)
Hola KingSweden!! :) Of course, i will glad if i can help you in something. Well, first, the word "Plausible" is correct :P Puedo hablarte en español? así puedo escribir más rapido jeje En base a mis conocimientos sobre la historia colombiana, el articulo de Colombia tiene muchas diferencias con la Colombia de OTL, especialmente en los partidos politicos, debido a que Historicamente la politica Colombiana fue dominada por los Partidos Conservador y Liberal (de donde surgieron despues algunos movimientos de izquierda democratica) hasta cerca del 2000. No tengo información alguna sobre Partidos Reformistas, Democratas Cristianos o Republicanos. Además, me di cuenta que los nombres de los presidentes colombianos no son reales O_O Creo que podrías modificar esos aspectos de la politica del país, y mantener sin alteraciones el resto de la historia. De momento, esto te puedo decir. Si necesitas mas ayuda, solo dime. Saludos --Katholico 23:47, February 22, 2011 (UTC)


 * Que bien :) Bueno, tienes razón sobre los partidos politicos, en esta timeline he visto muchos sorprendentes cambios historicos en diferentes lugares y por eso quizás es posible que esos partidos existan. La verdad, no he leído toda tu TL, solo lo basico. Lo que mas he leido es el articulo Alternate Destinies, el cual me parece muy genial y divertido :D. Respecto a ideas para el resto de Sudamerica, dejame leer antes un poco mas tu timeline para intentar pensar en algo. --Katholico 00:52, February 23, 2011 (UTC)


 * I have some questions: ¿Como Chile y Peru anexan todo el territorio de Bolivia? ¿A través de alguna guerra?.

Y quisiera saber cual a sido la politica internacional de Chile, Peru y Paraguay?, es decir, de que naciones han sido aliados o enemigos esos paises? Por ejemplo, aqui en este articulo sobre futbol soccer dice que Chile y Argentina son archi-enemigos, de forma similar a OTL. --Katholico 02:42, February 23, 2011 (UTC)


 * OK, ahora entiendo. ¿Chile ha estado en alguna guerra? Sobre Allende, es una idea muy buena (de hecho cercana a la realidad), pero te refieres a que él sería un dictador Marxista, no? Pinochet podría tener un Alternate Destiny en esta timeline, asi como varias figuras chilenas. --Katholico 03:08, February 23, 2011 (UTC)


 * Si, lei que Chile era Comunista (casi como pudo ocurrior en OTL) y que despues de la derrota en el Mundial de Futbol el gobierno comunista cayó. Y asi es, Chile y Argentina han sido desde después de la independencia "enemigos y rivales". En muchas ocaciones hemos estado al borde de la guerra, pero nunca ha ocurrido algo gracias a Dios. Se podría decir que hemos estado en algo como una "Guerra Fría". La ultima vez que hubo una crisis militar fue en Diciembre, 1978, por la soberanía del Canal del Beagle. --Katholico 03:19, February 23, 2011 (UTC)

Hey man!
Hey Man! I was just curious, since I did a lot for you.

Could you do something for me? :]

Vidboy10 20:55, February 28, 2011 (UTC)

I was curious if you could contribute to my TL Multi-Colonial Australia.

Logos
I think I can help - though Oer is the resident guru on Photoshop around here, I'm not too bad with GIMP.

I think I see the issue, but tell me what you think the problem is, and I'll fix it/them.

Lordganon 04:37, March 4, 2011 (UTC)

So more or less what I thought, lol. I'll get to it next time I wake up, then.

As for Spokane, canon has long had a different fate for it than being hit. We've now got the military base being hit, which would damage, though not destroy, the city. Wikipedia says that the big companies hadn't actually moved there yet, for the most part, either, at Doomsday. The plants in rural Alabama has to do with steel mills, lol. Somehow, there ended up being tons of the blasted things there, and those kind of mills, in large numbers, are like a bulls-eye for nukes.

Lordganon 13:22, March 5, 2011 (UTC)

I've uploaded a new version of the logo. Looks a tiny bit choppy around a couple of edges - just how it worked out when making it solid, but shouldn't be noticeable on most smaller sizes you use - but its one color now. I'll work on getting the edges smoothed out.



Lordganon 17:09, March 5, 2011 (UTC)

Cleaned it up. Also changed it to a PNG file, which will keep the changes and not shade up like that again. Lordganon 17:49, March 5, 2011 (UTC)

Not a problem. Always willing to help. Lordganon 19:14, March 5, 2011 (UTC)

How do you like the idea of Oswald being friends with Kennedy?

1983
Yeah, I'd known you started it. A good article. I like the idea of the new one you've started - I'll try tpo help ya with it, if you'd like.

No, there's not a specific article on it. It's mentioned, somewhat in passing, in the NAU, New United States, and Utah articles, as well as (I think) in Cascadia and Pasco too.

Don't worry about the logo. Always willing to help, and I'll fix uo any logos you need it done to =)

Empire of Mexico
I have an idea for an addition to the Napoleon's World timeline. What if the French-supported Empire of Mexico survived to this day? As far as I could tell there are no refrences to Mexico in the timeline so far, so it could be inserted with little trouble. What do you think? --Yank 20:19, March 29, 2011 (UTC)

Here's my idea of what happens. After Austria is conquered during Napoleonic Wars, the Austrian royal family flees to Mexico in exile. The exiled royals influence the colony in the years, and when Agustín de Iturbide becomes Emperor of Mexico he solidifies his claim by wedding a Hapsburg Princess. To satisfy the Republican elements a constitution is adopted. Over the years the royal house slowly becomes more and more Mexican. The process of Mexicanization ends around the present day.

Yank 22:10, March 29, 2011 (UTC)

I allways thought that Mexico would be a strong American ally from it's creation. It's because I thought that the Mexican Royal family would have nothing to do with the French, as they have a large Austrian Hapsburg branch. They would blame the French for having to flee their homeland. They way I understand it is alliance means economic aid, economic aid means more jobs, and more jobs means not having to flee to America illegally.

Yank 19:49, March 30, 2011 (UTC)

I seriously doubt America would be too choosy, especially with the never-ending cold war with France to consider. And considering the unpleasent history the Hapsburgs have with France, they would be an enthusiastic ally to America. What if they are like Alaska, with a rocky relationship at first, then a conflict, then have their relations slowly but surely improve.

Hetalia is a show that approaches history in terms of people. The nations themselves are turned into people. Here's a link to the wikipedia page. There would be a character representing France, Alaska, America, etc. Despite their being fewer large conflicts than OTL, it'd still be easy to convert Napleon's World to the same format. And we can have America be the primary protagonist, as I doubt Napoleon's World Japan would be a proper enviroment to spawn anime. How about we have anime start up in America when anime arists flee to America to escape the militarist Japan.

Yank 20:11, March 30, 2011 (UTC)

How about they have a thriving film industry (possibly an equivilent of Bollywood), the products of which are popular in the United States and South America (but for different reasons). Quite a few of these films have a humorous cameo by the Emperor (who is a member of the Mexican equivlient of SAG) So, what do you think of Hetalia?

Yank 20:31, March 30, 2011 (UTC)

I could see a sizable German community in Mexico. It would consist of the decendants of loyal Austrians who followed their royal family into exile.

Yank 01:59, April 1, 2011 (UTC)

Hetalia
Have you ever heard of Hetalia: Axis Powers? It's basically an anime show where history is humorously depicted using athropomorphic representations of nations. What do you think of a Napoleon's World-themed version of Hetalia? --Yank 20:47, March 29, 2011 (UTC)

So are you going to work on Hetalia next?

Yank 00:29, April 2, 2011 (UTC)

I created the Hetalia page for you. You can add to it whenever you want to. I know you have a lot on your plate with the timeline. I just want to tell you that Napoleon's World is an excellent timeline, and to keep up the incredible work.

Yank 03:11, April 11, 2011 (UTC)

Central America
What do you think of my new addition of Central America? I'm thinking of helping you by adding pages for the South America countries currently unrepresented in the timeline.

Yank 21:45, April 3, 2011 (UTC)

I just thought that since they are surrounded by two powerful nations (Mexico and Columbia), the Central American nations would be more receptive to uniting. I just had no other idea for a name for such a nation. What would you call this nation?

Yank 17:09, April 4, 2011 (UTC)

My Ideas For Napoleon's World
I have some ideas for Brazil and, by extension, Portugal. Since Portugal in OTL was one of England's most reliable allies in Europe, we could have the French despose the King and turn Potugal into a puppet state. The rightful King would then flee to Brazil to establish the Empire of Brazil.

Yank 22:14, April 3, 2011 (UTC)

How about Brazil has a military regime for a period in the 30's-40's, which gets desposed in a coup that restores the monarchy. What do you think about that?

Yank 21:19, April 4, 2011 (UTC)

Rat Pack
Yeah, I like the sound of all those ideas. It certainly makes sense for the group to be centered more on Dean Martin/Dino Crocetti than Frank Sinatra (unlike in OTL), because Sinatra didn't develop major organized crime connections until adulthood; whereas Crocetti was significantly involved from the age of 15, possibly younger.

Assuming Crocetti put more effort into his criminal career rather than his singing career; he could have been one of the biggest names in Ohio's criminal underworld by the late 1940s; which is probably the kind of time he would move his operations to Vegas and start working with Joseph Gottlieb. If Gottlieb was running a money-laundering syndicate, or some other non-mafia-type crime; he would probably be more willing to work with Crocetti, as he would have more to gain from having him as an ally. Sinatra could be one of their connections in New York, who moves to Vegas during the 1950s and becomes another major figure in the Mob.

Perhaps Sammy Davis Jr should stay a performer, as a regular headliner at one of Gottlieb's casinos/hotels (after all, that's how Frank Sinatra made his mob connections in OTL). Also, Since Davis converted to Judaism some time after 1954, he might be more likely to work with Gottlieb's mob after that.

Given all of the turmoil England goes through in Napoleon's World, Peter Lawford is kind of a wildcard, but I'm sure it wouldn't be too hard to write him a backstory which brings him into the American criminal underworld. - Mister Sheen 12:06, April 10, 2011 (UTC)

The Five Families idea for Sinatra sounds good; as does the Lawford backstory; and your idea for Sammy Davis Jr's role in showbusiness and Civil Rights gave me another thought: perhaps if Davis began attracting more black artists to Las Vegas, then it might accompany or even replace Detroit (Motown) as the center of black music in the 1960s and 70s.

And if Armstrong, King and Cosby rejected Davis because of his criminal connections; then perhaps he would replace Malcolm X as the main "alternative" Civil Rights leader; except he would have a completely different message to Malcolm X. - Mister Sheen 18:13, April 10, 2011 (UTC)


 * I didn't mean for him to become Malcolm X, just that he would take the role of "main black leader outside the mainstream Civil Rights movement". But it probably does make more sense to leave him as a well-known celebrity with strong mafia ties. - Mister Sheen 18:48, April 10, 2011 (UTC)

Email and More Ideas
I'll have to see if I'm allowed to give my email address to you. In the meanwhile, here's some more ideas for Napoleon's World. What if we make a page for the major corporations (or at least the ones butterfly'd into existance by the timeline) of Napoleon's World? I have two ideas (and two Alternate Destinies that come with them) Yank 19:32, April 11, 2011 (UTC)
 * 1) Belushi's (a major resteraunt chain)- After hearing that John Belushi's father worked in the resteraunt business while watching his Biography, I had an idea. What if John Belushi directed his ambition into the family business rather than acting?
 * 2) Lincoln Medical (a medical company)- After Willie Lincoln (or his son) dies, Edward Lincoln (who may have surived in this timeline) becomes determined to help better his fellow man by learning all he can on medicine. He becomes the greatest medical mind of his time, and creates quite a few medicines. The company runs a chain of the finest privately owned hospitals and the Lincoln Institute (an equivilent of the Pasteur Institute.). Edward Lincoln's "tender-hearted, kind, and loving" personality, as descibed by wikipedia, would have made it impossible for him to do anything else if he surived to adulthood. Besides, I think the Alternate Destinies page need more Scientists/Doctors/Inventors.

It'd also be interesting if you included a stint as Surgeon General under his brother in Edward's bio. he'd be chosen, not out of nepotism, but because he'd be one of the best (if not the best) people for the job.

Yank 20:04, April 11, 2011 (UTC)

Cameron / Grant
Do you mean making David Cameron into a Hugh Grant-type awkward ineffectual guy who somehow ends up as a national leader? Yeah, I really like that idea. - Mister Sheen 00:31, April 14, 2011 (UTC)

First off, don't worry about the TSPTF stuff. You do actually do more than most people do, lol.

Not quite so good at templates as you think, I'm afraid. The ones I've "made" have been adjusted versions of ones already on here, and not by much at that, lol. But you should be able to do much the same - just take the code for the boxes you mention, copy the code, go to a new template page, paste the code in, and edit it to be like you want.

As for the sports template, the only suggestion I have for you is the company infobox. http://althistory.wikia.com/wiki/Template:Infobox_Company Not a perfect fit, but should work after a fashion.

Sports (Napoleon's World)
nice to see the whole list of sport articles in the napoleon world that you did, but they are in some way "too much" to read, can you do a frontpage/portal article about the whole sport world? something like Sports (Napoleon's World), talking about the complete world, with titles that are easier to read and understood? thanks, which one is the most popular sport, in that continent, and in that country? bigger sport star? number of teams that participate in that tournament? the more times champion? great work aniway--Fero 03:24, April 19, 2011 (UTC)

Napoleon's World Alternate History Fiction
You should make a page on an novel in which Napoleon loses? In other words can you write the article on a novel that effectively paints what the people of the NW timeline think our timeline must be like.

English General Election
Jack Davenport of Labour would be more my choice. Lordganon 05:19, April 26, 2011 (UTC)


 * Based on my love of FlashForward, I'm going with Jack Davenport. - Mister Sheen 16:35, April 26, 2011 (UTC)

Honestly, I've never used the things, so I've no idea how to make'em work. All I know is that you should just be able to copy it from another election article, and change out the details as needed.

Happy to see the A. War article done too, lol. One of the best articles on the wiki, in my opinion.
