Oh.

I didn't know about the other file.

I've searching about that flag but i don't have found it.

Honest opinion
Hey Nuke,

First of all, as a relatively new member of TSPTF, I must commend you for your continuous efforts to keep the images of this wiki, which is a monumental task, in perfect order.

That being said, I think I speak for all the contributors of the wiki when I say that you slightly overestimate the importance of images on the wiki. If this was an IMGR or Instigram account, then our content would be exclusively told through images.

But it's not. This is a wiki, meaning that images are only colorful decorations for the real content, which are articles. In other words, a duplicated image is wrong, but not really a crime, unless it is seriously spammed. Why? Because no user is going to be looking at the image archives, only the articles where images are used as decoration. Similarly, images used only on a user page is not something that concerns the wiki as a whole. It's a private matter. The only time such images are going to be seen outside of their page is when someone looks at the image archives.

Also, when adding an image, no one looks at the image search. Like, ever. It's not about good practice, it's about practicality.

Obviously, I have no authority in this manner, but I wouldn't bring it up if not for myriads of users complaining of injustice. I would like to thank Feud for making Borealia possible  04:40, January 10, 2016 (UTC)

RE: Block
"Duplication"

I must assert that the image that I uploaded was not a duplicate, and that the block that was issued was unwarranted. The flag I uploaded, compared to the flag you mentioned shares two similarities:

- The nordic cross

- The colour scheme

The flag I uploaded had a different ratio compared to the other flag, along with having different colours, my flag being much brighter than the other flag. I uploaded my flag knowing that a flag of similar colour and design existed.

Accidentally uploaded a duplication
Hello Nuke,

I accidentally uploaded a duplication of of the Flag of Spain 1931-1939. I found that you have uploaded another file Flag of Spain 1931 1939.svg. I apologize for this and am letting you know so you can remove it, as well as the fact that I acknowledge my mistake.

Map Game Situation
Hi. I don't know any other high admins on this site, so I though about asking you, unless you know someone more appropriate for me to ask (I have been on this wiki fro less than 6 months). I had a little map game that I'm beginning to work on, but with the "Map Game Y/N" talk going on and the lack of new map games, I'm not sure what is the current situation regarding map games.

So I wanted to know if Map Game are still authorized on the site, or if some regulation has been put in place?

Note
Hey Nuke, you may have accidentally seen me upload two of the same files (but different extensions) by mistake. I didn't like the exact style of the original, so I decided to go back and edit it. The only problem was the original .gif file turned into a .jpeg file. I didn't expect this, and therefore got two different files. I'm sorry for any inconvinice I caused you. Hope your day and/or night goes well.

Help with the USSR (Carpe Diem)
Hello Nuke, So I've finally decided to start working more on the in my TL, Carpe Diem. However I am having a lot of problems sorting out a political atmosphere that I could see happening. Two examples being the political parties of the Soviet Union, as well as the other Presidents of the USSR. I should also mention I absolutely love your idea in New Union with the Liberal Democratic Party splitting into two new parties.

Currently, I have Alexander Yakovlev (don't know if you've heard of him, jk ;3) succeeding Gorbachev. And I wanted a more controversial figure to succeed Yakovlev following the 9/11 attacks on New York and the tumultuous beginning of the 21st Century (if you haven't noticed, very inspired by your theme in NU). For that controversial figure I chose, who is an equally controversial figure OTL. However I'm having trouble figuring out who would beat him in the 2007 election. Currently I have, but I think he'd be too young in the eyes of Soviet voters to win the election (he would be 41 in 2007).

I was wondering (since you are pretty good when it comes to Russia) if you had an people in mind who could replace Ryzhkov as the opposition party nominee and eventual president.

I'd love to hear your suggestions,

Thank you for the response, Nuke! I really appreciate it and will definitely use your suggestions.

Can't find images
Nuke,

Rather than inundating the wiki with images I know we already have, I was trying to search the wiki for the images I need. However, I can't seem to find them. So, I've come here, to the resident expert on images, to help me out.

The images I need are: the Flag of the Ottoman Empire as close to 1520 as possible, and a map of their exent at that time.

Here they are in wikipedia commons: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Flag_of_the_Ottoman_Empire.svg

Hey again,

So, following your suggestion I was able to find the flag I was looking for. However, I was not able to find the map of the territorial changes, so I assumed it wasn't on the wiki. The link you posted on my talk page was a red link.

Hopefully it's cleared up now,

File:No_image restoration request
Hi Nuclear,

You recently deleted a file named "File:No_image", which was uploaded by myself, under the reasoning that it was a "broken file".

It is in fact not at all. It is a blank image to act as a place-holder when no image is available, for example, here. It is used for formatting purposes, to ensure consistency in text placement.

Please restore this file, as my reasoning for uploading it is sound. —  The  Tim   Man  (TSW • AH • MGW • Contribs ) 22:27, March 1, 2016 (UTC)


 * So then what do you suggest I place in its stead? —  The  Tim   Man  (TSW • AH • MGW • Contribs ) 22:38, March 1, 2016 (UTC)


 * Also, to illustrate its usefulness, please see my Sandbox on Wikipedia here. Note how on the two boxes on the left, the No_image.png file is present. This makes the text automatically shift to the bottom, which is consistent with the second box to the right, which has an image of the same height. Now, compare that with the right-most box, which has no image. The text is in the centre, and is not consistent with the rest of the boxes. No_image.png is used all over Wikipedia to rectify situations such as this. My use of the image is wholly justified, unless you can suggest a better alternative. —  The  Tim   Man  (TSW • AH • MGW • Contribs ) 22:41, March 1, 2016 (UTC)

Automotive Industry in Russian America
I guess the early Russian automakers will flee to Alaska, only for them to be caught up in the civil war. Alaska would have a decent automotive industry, but not as big as those of America's, of course. The industry had to compete with the US auto industry, as well as the flooding of Russian vehicles in Alaska. I guess the Yugo would be better appreciated in Alaska.

Any suggestions?

Thanks for the copy edit
Hey there again, thanks for the copy edit on the introduction of Alaskan Buddhism

I feel bad for not being able to write the stories, I talked about real life has gotten in the way, but when there time I will get to them. I am going to put them in my profile page first when I write them.

I feel silly for coming up with more topics when I haven't finished my earlier one but I am thinking too just now about Orthodoxy and Islam in Alaska. Orthodoxy should play a founational role in the years after the Spanish war in creating settler communties. Of course the New World did tend to tear up established old world religions but I think Orthodoxy is at least first going to be important. Old Belivers would be coming too and going for the most remote areas eventually.

Orthodoxy like it did in the Old World is going to incresaingly be the arm for the Czar's mantaince of power, leading many Alaskans to question faith, urban liberals will turn secular but there others will make their own churches. Protostants will have an appel but I think Russian style breakways will occur too.

The end of the Empire is going to throw the church into dissary in Alaska, suddenly lost without offical protection, new churches I think will be made in this period. Orthodoxy might appel to the pesduo fascists in Alaska during the time of division. The Church is going to change as the USSR forms and it finds itself to be the defacto heir of Moscow Orthdoxoy, I could see Russian Orthdoxy becoming a more decentralized dynamic group without political control, however white emigrees will try to keep the church the way it is. Certainly the new partirach will take  residence in Alaska

After reunifcation the church will have a resurgence and will become a key part of Alaska's unique cold War Identity and many will identity "Orthodox Alaska" as being the True Russia, and the USSR as being the fake, "godless" corrupted Russia. Kind of like a situation with China and Taiwain, the church will lobby for agressive anti Soviet policies and will be trying resuce people from the USSR.

After the Cold War the church will likely surge in membership due to euphoria and evidence of God's will and intervention and the Church being based in the New World for so long will take it upon itself to rechristanaize the homeland. The Patriach might move back, there will be conflict however though between a resurgent church in Russia and the church is Alaska, I think. After all Russians who stayed in Russia will want to see the center of their church remain at home but Alaskans will want to remain the center of power.

Just an idea.

Also I am thinking for the story about the crisis that will have multiple themes, femnism will be apparant as the crisis emphasises some existing problems in the character's marriage but the Alaskan Soviet brother hate will take a center stage. Her Husband's brother will be in the Soviet Navy, eventually I think in the story the husband's grief about his relatives in the USSR will bring him and the woman character closer back together but the relationship will be changed because she will have to save him from despair, and comfort him.

Hey Nuke is there anyway to recover internet data from a particular point in time? Around 6 A,M I had a written a good page in my profile pertaining to the the Cuban Missle Crisis narrative but the browser crashed. I guess its gone, but I just wanted to know if there was any retrival mechanism

Because even though I know what I wrote I don't think I can write it in the exact same way and I really liked it.Stepintime (talk) 11:41, March 20, 2016 (UTC)

Hey just wanted to let you know I went on a tanget on Ukraine's talk page, I wrote a proposal for the article of Ukraine's history since the 1830's. I wanted to explore how Ukraine might have been different with the existance of Alaska, you can read and see what you think. If its not what you had in mind no worries.

Though in particular I would think that Ukraine would have a greater cultural signifcance to the world as in this time Russian civilzation was more succesful there would be a willigness by Russians not in Russia to look at Ukraine and Kiev as the starting point for Russian History.

Also too think about the Ukranian Cossacks, think about the kind of cowboys and herders they could be, further changing modern culture. I was thinking while I was writing all the ways people would think differently and the kind of movies involving Ukranian people because of Alaska.

I am still slowly working on the memiors too on my profile page

Stepintime (talk) 20:40, April 8, 2016 (UTC)

Now that you deleted the proposal on the talk page is there any way to get it back ... I didn't save it anywhere else.

Stepintime (talk) 02:14, April 9, 2016 (UTC)

I mean sorry for the error, but I thought the talk page was the place to write those things...

Its alright, I see how it could mess up a talk page but I am glad its not all gone.

I guess I need to brush on my Russian History, I do remember the Russian empire disregarded the Ukranian nationality but I thought there had been more activity aganist the Ukranians. T

Hmm. I would still like to see detail with Ukraine as long as it is creative content because its position in this world would be different somehow being the eventual source of so many people in our wonderful country of Alaska. But the points of difference would be less than I thought, except more people might leave at the turn of the 20th century and some great people from Ukraine might end up in Alaska. However Ukranian culture in Alaska can defiently be elaborated on.

Maybe though because of the forutune seeking aspect Ukranians would leave before 1890 but then it might be hard to trace them in modern society because they were all counted as Russian.

I feel that much what I wrote could be used for a general Russian empire article (modified of course), what do you think? I think an exploration of how colonozation would have changed fedual society would be cool (I mean interesting). That part I think is really important for this timeline, the old world side.

Cossacks would be brought at first by war but then might be left for themselves afterwards, I could imagine them being used as something like rangers or law enforcment in certain areas. In the most isolated areas they would be herders and I could imagine going rouge for numerous reasons- personal independence, economic gain and eventually politics. In eventual struggles aganist natives they would be deployed, (though I think some a minority of Cossacks might fight along side natives)

Cossacks I think too would often venture over the American, Mexcian maybe even Borelian borders remebering this stuff was even more up in the air before the Coloumbia purchase. They would have rivarlies with other gangs of horsemen. All of the possibilietes man...

Just as I could see Cossacks going rouge (maybe even joining with cowboys of other nationalities) I could see little battles on mountainsides between gangsters and Cossacks guarding the border and I think it is quite plausible given the actual expanionsim and rouge independence of the west in this era. I think the civilian Cossack communties would be today seen as Alaska's first democratic society in contrast to the rulership of the Alaska Krai.

Cossacks would of course be around into the civil war, and I think they would be part of all sides- early on many would go with whites but given the nature of Cossacks I think eventually most would go to the blue camp- because the Cossacks at the end of the day were their own society of people and the blues would be more accepting of that then the whites I think.

Cossack would be an integral part of what it means to be an Alaskan

Then too think of all of the media and culture that would be produced because of that earlier image too, both in Alaska and in its neighbors. Wow.

With your permission, I would like to put proposals for Cossacks, and additions to the Ukraine and Russian Empire articles.

I just have so much stuff in my head right now about this,

One more thing-

I see you talked with others about the United States but just remember this that even white the United States is powerful with its destiny cut off by Mexico and Russia to the west coast it would not be our America. Not as complete or diverse, still strong but not a culture as great as in the real world. So much of America's identity from Hollywood to Silcon vally comes from the Pacific Coast. And think of route 66- the dream of going east to west. America would not have many as east European immigrants- why would they go to the U.S when they have their own New World?

That grand dream won't live here.

Much of that now will belong to her neighbors

But in this world the Anglo - Americans won't have as much as the cultural domiance of the world as they did in the real world, it will be more cut up- and North America will feel a bit more like South America and Europe just for being cut up.

Also Mexico would be a more stable regime with all of that land and opprotunity surley but not my field of epxerties

Thanks for saving the stuff, and for having these talks this is fascinating.

RA Ideas
Hello, Nuke. I have some ideas about computer games in Russian America

Possibly helping with the United States:0:0 in Russian America
Hello Nuke,

First I want to start off by saying congratulations for having Russian America as a featured alternate history candidate. From what I've seen, it most likely will be a featured alternate history! Anyways enough of my adoration for you as a alternate historian, onto the subject at hand. From what I've seen of what you have written is that the United States:0:0 is unable to fulfill OTL's because of the Russians in  and  (as well as an alliance with the Mexico:Mexican Empire:0). Since there is very little written about the history United States in the timeline, I was wondering if I could potentially elaborate more on the nations history following Russian Empire:Russia's:0 colonization of the.

Let me know if you wouldn't mind!

23:54, March 20, 2016 (UTC)

I was thinking of working on a Presidents list for the United States. Considering how quite a few Prez' in OTL were born in areas that aren't American territory ATL. But also on how certain figures whom are American in OTL and how them not being Americans ATL would affect the United States. A great example is, (Igor Vaare:0:0 in Russian America), who is one of my many heroes in American History. But him not being appointed Chief Justice in ATL would have a huge impact on the Civil Rights Movement as he was Chief Justice during the crucial ruling in . I would also help if you could give me a quick run down of events relating to the United States in Russian America.

00:36, March 21, 2016 (UTC)

Thanks a bunch for the footnotes. After reading them, a couple of ideas popped into my head.

1.) Since Russia supported the Union during the Civil War in OTL and since they have a direct border with the United States ATL, could the Civil War end earlier because of direct Russian support? Prob not because of the threat of war with Britain. Or the war could end earlier because the Union doesn't have to worry about defending the West.

2.) I've heard of the and maybe because of that mishap and the embarrassment from the Alaskan Missile Crisis:0:0, could JFK have lost his reelection bid in 1964 (if he wouldn't be assassinated and if he would of won in 1960 because of the AMC occuring in late-1960 to mid 1961).

Also, in regards to Earl Warren, I could see Eisenhower (who appointed Warren following the death of Fred Vinson, an open segregationist FYI, in 1953) appointing someone who is either moderate or even liberal with a very conservative "rule of law" belief (part of the reason why Eisenhower appointed Warren). I'll look into it and come back to you with information regarding it.

I've also been considering working on the election maps for the United States (considering the different electoral college ATL). Especially since certain Democratic and Republican strong holes wouldn't exist (i.e. states like, , and )

Venusian Haven
Hey Nuke, I'm FP, I've been around for ages now (albeit inconsistently), but I believe we have never directly had contact before, so hi there!

Recently I've found myself at a bit of a loss on how to contribute to the wiki other than general organisation and undoing vandals. Flicking through timelines to read, I remembered Imp telling me the funny story of how he managed to get at odds with both you and LG within only a week of creating his account, due to his over-eagerness to contribute to your timeline Venusian Haven. That prompted me to head over there and get reading, because I’ve realised that’s one that I've never given a proper look-over before. First up I must say: excellent work, I really like it. It’s definitely more the type of thing I enjoy, being a person who is also very interested in space, physics and environmental PoDs. But (inevitably) it has thrown up a lot of questions. Bear in mind, all of these are pure curiosity that I have not managed to deduce from reading - I am not trying to catch you out or tell you you’re wrong or anything, I’m just sharing thoughts.


 * First of all, I am curious about how so many people now inhabit these colonies on Venus after only thirty years or so – did they all make it to the planet via spaceflight or are has the majority of the population arrived through natural population growth on Venus? Because even if only a quarter of the New Kamchatka population originally came from Earth, the cost to ferry two hundred thousand people millions of miles through space is extortionate. I was just curious roughly what percentage of the colonists made the journey, the rest being born on Venus presumably.


 * Next up, I noticed the section of Neith is decidedly bare – is this because you haven’t got round to writing it yet (or getting someone else to) or is it due to the space agencies of Earth not being particularly interested in what the moon has to offer, hence little exploration has been made?


 * Finally, more of a suggestion rather than a question. I've noticed (in typical althistory fashion) that mostly the only aspects of Venus and Neith that have been touched on are the nations and colonies that have formed there. Since the climate of Venus and the existence of Neith are so drastically different from OTL, I think some of the more natural process of both bodies deserve some more explanation. I see some work has begun on animals and plants and the like, but there has been not much on the physical and environmental properties of Venus and its moon.

All of these questions are a precursor to my main point – I would very much like to help you out and reboot the timeline if you wish. I see you've been busy with Russian America recently, so I would totally understand if you wanted me to go for it alone, or didn't want me to touch it at all. I just feel that the concept is so good and what you have so far is so promising that it deserves to be fleshed out and tarted up a bit. I'm sure you’ll agree, and I hope you won’t take any offence by me saying that there is still a lot of work to do, but as I was saying at the start of this message, I've been looking for something to do, and I’d be very happy to contribute (mainly on the second and third of my points). I have several more ideas that I have withheld because I did not want to overburden you, so if you want to hear them let me know, because I’d love to have a good chat with you about it. This type of TL is more my area of expertise, so I hope I can be useful.

(Also thanks for fixing the template on my talk, I was meaning to do that at some point.)

Okay, totally understand that you are busy, and I shall respect your wishes and hold back for now. If you ever do decide to pick up the TL again, just let me know and I'll be more than happy to assist. Thank you for answering my questions, I appreciate it!

COP21 Logo
Hello there, I guess your'e the right person to ask about this. I was going to upload https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:2015_Climate_Conference.svg  for my SSY TL, but was unsure whether the liscense would allow me. Could you advise me. Thanks Bryce3 (talk) 15:37, April 10, 2016 (UTC)

These could be a help for your Russian America TL. What do you think?

CIS flag on Giovinezza
Why did you change the flag for the Commonwealth of Independent States? Can I not have a recoloured flag just so it matches the Coat of Arms? Is that like, against the rules or something? If so why? Scopatore (talk) 06:32, April 25, 2016 (UTC)

Maps proposals
Hey nuke,

With your permission I would like to use your maps as a basline for making maps related to my Buddhism and Cossack articles, the Buddhist map would should percentage of Buddhist affilation by governate while my map of cossacks would show where remaining holds are by circles.

Also I am interested in making a map showing the development of coloniliasm in Alaska, but that would need to done carefully to accuratley concide with the wiki artcles,

Thanks for considering,

Stepintime (talk) 17:45, May 4, 2016 (UTC)

Thanks Nuke, the vector maps would be of help, I would like to see those too

This is just a rough sample of the map for Buddhism,



RE: Duplication ER
Hi there, I am writing to inform you that there may well be a glitch or error with the image search system. The seal that I have been given a duplication warning for returned no results. I was surprised, so I tried searching the letters na (should have huge hits as they are the first letters of Nazi), and again yielded no results. The only search term that gave me any results for images already on the website was Capitol (as in US Capitol Building). Although I knew there was a large chance of duplication, I had no choice but to continue as I could find no records. I implore you to take this into account before you issue me with a ban if such an occurance happens again.

Yours,

Okay, will do.

Yours,

I am currently testing what you advised. I deleted the seal of new york from my politician's page, and now want to put the image above the infobox. I opened the add image section, and searched for Seal_of_New_York.svg, which yielded no results. Any advice on what to do next?

Yours,

Copy and paste
Good day, I am making a timeline of history for my Alt History TL. I am including my alt history along with real history. I am using Wikipedia to find national timelines and what they have is what I am basically going to put. Is it fine if I just copy and paste what they put in their timelines and at it to mine? It is still hard work and I am basically going to put the same thing anyways.-Lieutenant113 (talk) 01:38, May 13, 2016 (UTC)

Very well, it makes sense. But I had already done it for a few things, must  delete that stuff or can I just go on and never do it again? (it wasn't that much). Lieutenant113 (talk) 02:20, May 13, 2016 (UTC)

New Timeline Idea and Russian Civil War
Hello

Since it appears to me you know quite a lot about Russian history, I could really use some help regarding the Russian Civil War. My latest idea, Roosevelt's Return, involves President Theodore Roosevelt surviving into 1920, running for president, winning the GOP nomination and thus winning the election. Due to his expansionist views, I felt that he would do more about the Russian Civil War than OTL President Harding. So, here's what I was wondering.
 * How much involvement could the U.S. (and other former Entente members) commit to the RCW in 1921?
 * Is it too late (1921) to change the outcome of the RCW?
 * Is there a potential of the U.S.S.R. being delayed, however being somewhat more unstable as a result (and potentially being even more unprepared to fight Hitler)?

Feel free to add anything else to what I might have missed. Any and all input is appreciated regarding this topic.

Thank you,

King Washington and his glory!
Hello, so I am making a new TL in which George Washington becomes a king and the US becomes a monarchy. Octivian Marius is saying that it is ASB. But United Republic didn't say anything like that. Is this ASB? I really love this TL  '''and would love to continue but... Lieutenant113 (talk) 01:14, May 17, 2016 (UTC)'''

'''For get that, it was all a misunderstanding. Lieutenant113 (talk) 02:05, May 17, 2016 (UTC)'''

Thank you!this has helped a ton! You are a great admin always willing to help! --Lieutenant113 (talk) 10:50, May 17, 2016 (UTC)

Inkscape Help
So recently I downladed inkscape, and it has been confusing and hard to use, I was wondering sience you are a Inkscape God if you could give me some advice. Also when I was on wikipedia the other day I saw that the germamy EU locator map was made by a nuccelar vaccum, is that you?

Wow that map guide looks great and I plan on unveiling a map soon. I wouldn't really consider myself a map buff, more of a coat of arms/flag buff. Do you have a guide for those? I would consider one of your best coat of arms works. How exactly did you make it?

I would just like to show you the first image i was able to create using inkscpae.

Flags for Russian America
Hello Nuke, Just wanted to let you know I have a couple of flags made for Russian America. They include a Flag of Absaroka, a Flag of North Texas, and an altered logo for the Warsaw Pact (since from what I see, Prussia:0:0 is canon and all). Let me know what you think!
