The Reply
Well, Máipw is really the only form of the word though basically it is dually Gaelicised and Brythonicised form of Mapu which is basically the Mapuche word for country. The history deviated around when the Bar Kokhba revolt death toll was even more destructive in this alternate history and the repurcussions harsher resulting in the destruction of Rabbinical Judaism with Jerusalem becoming a primarily Christian city and Islam not coming into existence with Christianity and Zoroastrianism being the predominant religions in the Middle East and history deviates from this timeline more from there. For now I will keep the title of the alternate history the same until I think of a better name if I do.

Hi i have been on this wiki before, but am returning after a long hiatus. Last time I created lots of bad and ASB timelines but now I have more experience and hope to create better timelines.

PDS_logo
The PDS image is from the de.wikipedia.org page Partei des Demokratischen Sozialismus, which can be found here -. It can also be found here -

The original file name is PDS-Logo.svg. When uploading the original svg file, the message "The XML in the uploaded file could not be parsed." appears.

The Wikimedia Commons page lists a 500px png file of the image. I tried to upload this image, which can be found with this url - I received an upload warning saying "The filename begins with 500px-. It seems to be an image of reduced size (thumbnail). If you have this image in full resolution upload this one, otherwise change the filename please." Consequently, I removed the "500px-" from the file name.

The file name PDS-Logo.png had already been deleted with the deletion log description of "Misloaded File [Wikimedia Version Available]" So I again attempted to upload the original svg file, but the message "The XML in the uploaded file could not be parsed." still appeared. If you could clarify what this means, it would be greatly appreciated. It is preventing me from uploading the original wikimedia file without using one of the png files offered.

For this reason, I decided to once again upload the available png version of this file, which can still be found with this url -

Since the file was once again deleted with the message "Misloaded File [Wikimedia Version Available]", I decided to sift for answers in other articles. I took a look at this page, which also features a logo from a left-wing political party in Germany - Die Linke (A Reich Disunited). From the history log, it says that you uploaded the file Die Linke logo.svg, replacing File:Die Linke logo.png. If you would be able to upload PDS-Logo.svg or PDS Logo.svg in the same fashion on my behalf, without the "The XML in the uploaded file could not be parsed." message appearing for you, that would also be greatly appreciated.

Lastly, you added the article Party of German Socialism (Die Mauer Steht) to the category Political party articles using deprecated parameters – the category page appears to have been deleted March 23, 2017 by Imperium Guy. Since new articles are still being added to the category, would it be helpful if I recreated the category page?

EoGuy
Nuke, I am writing you to talk about the block of EoGuy, whom you blocked for abusing multiple accounts. First of all, I'm not convinced EoGuy=EoGuy99. All we have is the word of the EoGuy99 account, which could just be someone trying to frame EoGuy. Second of all, I think Eo forgot his password or got locked out of his original account, and then switched over to his backup account, EoGuy99. Many people have backup accounts. The EoGuy account stopped editing on November 1, and a few days later the EoGuy99 account became active. This is not sockpuppet or abusing multiple accounts and therefore is not worthy of a block. Finally, I would like to point out that merely possessing two accounts is not a crime, the problem is "abusing" multiple accounts, operating both accounts at the same time for nefarious or otherwise illicit purposes. This is not the case here, as EoGuy appears to be continuing his old work on a new account (not simultaneous, not abuse). As such I have unblocked EoGuy. I hope you understand my reasoning.

Scrawland Scribblescratch 05:32, January 7, 2018 (UTC)

As far as I know, we do not ban simply for having more than one account. Many years ago, I informed LG that I had a backup account and he didn't do anything about it.

The XML in the uploaded file could not be parsed
This is the error message that appears when I attempt to upload .svg files. Could you please let me know how to address this problem, without having other people upload the files I would like to upload?

Nate just uploaded it for me - a blank map of the US with territories. But again, I'd rather not have to rely on others to upload these files. AltHistoryVibes (talk) 00:48, January 9, 2018 (UTC)


 * I'll use the blank map as an example. Following your instructions on duplication, I made sure that the file name "Blank USA, w territories.svg" or "Blank USA,_w_territories.svg" didn't exist already on the wiki.


 * I'm on a macbook pro, using Firefox. I right-click and go to "save image as". It offers to save it as "Blank_USA,_w_territories.svg.png" so I delete the .png and save it as "Blank_USA,_w_territories.svg"


 * When I go to upload it on the wiki, though, I'm unable to upload it. That's when the error message "The XML in the uploaded file could not be parsed" appears. To the best ofmy knowledge, I haven't had this problem before.

Not to be counter to the deletion of the Buffalo Bisons page, but I have tried to learn how to use the sand box and do not know how to do so on several occasions, so I construct these pages as I go.

I wouldn't have had a problem with it except the original didn't get saved (amateur mistake) after a power outage and this time the modern version of Wikia editor doesn't let me copy and paste so I have to do it all over again.

Permission and Idea for Russian America
Hello NuclearVacuum,

I am here to request permission to expand and create an Australia article and backstory for the Australian Nation and the Continent as a Whole. My idea would be to have an Aboriginal Nation on the Australian continent, and maybe even an independent Tasmania (tasmania is very different from Australia, and I believe they have their own distinct Tribe, commonly called Tasmanians, oh and not to mention the OTL Tasmanian independence movements. The history would be added in the article, but the basic jist would be that the British were unable to fully colonize/control the Australian continent and aborigines peoples, with many tribes banding together to form their own nation/nations, being tired of the way they were being treated by the British, and not to mention being used as a place to send criminals. So yeah, that's basically all I wanted to talk about, I hope to hear your response!

~Signed The History Nerd

You bring up a very good point, why would the presence of Russia in North America effect Australia? Well, one thing is for sure, the aborigines of Australia hated the British settling their lands, and basically ignoring their territory. Many wars were fought in Australia against the aborigine people, and as I've read your timeline, and have seen that Russian-Native relations were realivly passive, and the Russians were very tolerant of the Natives in Alaska. Now I understand that this doesn't mean that Russia would start opposing European Expansion into Native territory, but it could be possible Russia could try to use the aborigine people in Australia as a counter to the British presence already well established in North America. Russian support for an aborigine rebellion or a massive war against a massive aborigine tribe isn't too far fetched, especially since they supported the Mexicans in their fight for independence. Russia could see great benefit from having a friendly aborigine Nation state, as it could be used to present Russia to the native populations of their colonies, and to other peoples struggling against Russia's rivals that are colonizing them with little representation, that Russia is a liberator of people. Though I won't just talk about Russia appearing as a liberator of natives without mentioning the downs of this, as this could also be terrible to Russia's image to other European Empires (and later on, Asian empires, such as Japan), as seeing Russia supporting native uprisings in Australia could bring a sense of a threat, especially the United States, as they obtained most of their territory by forcing native Americans off their territory, along with massacring their people. Russia would very much be seen as a threat to European empires and their colonies, and its very possible war might break out, which would lead to an interesting scenario. Sorry if this got a little out of hand or if I got side tracked, but this is my basic explanation how an independent aborigine state, and possibly a Tasmanian state could work out, possibly by Russian intervention, and how it would effect Russia's image globally. This also could have major changes to the Cold War, as the aborigine state would sort of be a "Neo-Colony" of sorts at this time (if you know anything about The history of Cuba and how the US treated Cuba, you will understand what this means for the aborigine state), and could become a socialistic or at least a Soviet sympathetic nation in terms of foreign policy, which could lead toward a very different situation on Australia, and for the western bloc. Anyway, this is my basic reasoning, I hope it's a reasonable one. ~ The History Nerd

I see, well I agree to your proposal, and agree to your final decision and reasoning. I came across the exact point that with Russia and the US moving in on the Americas, and Britain losing its grasp, its more likely for Australia to stay realitivly the same. My idea for an aboriginal state still could actually work though, just later on in the timeline. There is actually a modern day attempt at creating an aboriginal state: [Murrawarri Republic] is a micronation which was formed by a band of Aboriginals who actually want independence, but haven't done anything so far, which is one of the reasons the Australian government is keeping a close eye on them and hasn't acted yet. This happened in 2013, but can happen sooner if a larger group of Aboriginals protested, but again, i digress, your idea seems more plausible. ~The History Nerd

ArmsSpaghetti (talk) 17:04, January 12, 2018 (UTC)

Dear NuclearVacuum,

I have also come up with a suggestion, what if the Russian empire supported the confederate states? I mean, the Russian empire itself still had surfdom during the time of the American Civil War, and it's not too hard to imagine them supporting the confederate cause, especially if it meant access to the cotton trade, since this was a important resource to have at the time. I understand that it would be difficult to actually send troops or supplies, especially since there wasn't a Panama Canal at the time, so it might just be limited to political support rather then physical support, maybe just a formal recognition? It's up to you, but I do find plausible that since Russia has a more colonial presence in North America, and being more powerful, that it would have some opinion on the American civil war, I mean, they do share a border in this timeline. I'm not saying the confederacy would win because Russia is cool with them, I'm just saying, it would be interesting to see what a stronger Russian colonial empire would do in the American Civil War. ~The History Nerd

Alright, you clearly no more about Russian history then me.

Nah it's alright, anyway, so what about the Australia thing?

Alright, I'll contribute to the research as well, I'll report anything I find that could have any major effects to the Australian continent being divided.

Sorry to be a pain but I think another one of my flags I've uploaded may be broken. Its called the flag of the punjab. For some reason my svg's aren't playing nicely.

Country data
Hey I'm a little confused about Country data. From what I understand, specific country data pages are generated from country showdata which is a template you use in order to make the page. Is it allowed to create these pages for countries (that may or may not existed) specifically for your timeline? i.e. Russia (Mannerheim's Finland) or something simliar so I'd end up having a Template:Country_data_Russia_(Mannerheim's Finland)?

Thanks,

Russian America Question: Why Such a Different Canada?
Hi NV!

I have a question about Canada, specificly, why it's so different? I understand that the POD is around the Upper and Lower Canada rebellions, but how are they different from our timeline? I don't see a Russian America owning more territory and being more stable and populated to cause Canada to be so different (yet, as I say this, I'm trying to divide Australia up, so I guess I can't say much), so could you please explain what was the POD in those Upper &a Lower Canadian Rebellions?

Though I do like the change in Canada. - The History Nerd

Hawaii in Russian America
Hello Nuclear Vacuum,

I am here to ask you if I could edit and work on the Hawaii page. I see that since the US doesn't have access or is trying to expand its influence in the pacific due to it not owning the west coast, Hawaii is independent, and I do know a lot about Hawaiian history and how it fell from a kingdom to a US state. I hope to gain your permission to create a detailed page on Hawaii.

May I please help work on it? I'll follow the already created timeline of Hawaii, and maybe, if I get approval, add my own twist to their modern situation, but that is only if you accept my proposal to do so. I hope to hear your response! -The History Nerd

Alright, understable. Are there any more pages that aren't off limits that I could help expand?

Athabasca Assiniboia oil Pipeline 1983 Doomsday
The Athabasca page says that they plan on building a pipeline ti Assiniboia. The earliest date that consturiton can start was 2015. It is way past 2015. I think it would be idea to add a WCRB NewHour Headline saying that ground has broke on the pipeline this year or maybe last. Do you agree with me. If the anwser is yes then we should ask Yankovic270 what he thinks. However he been gone for over a year so i doubt he will respond. Perhaps you and me so adopt some his pages.

Athabasca and Assiniboia were doomsday survivor states based in Maniatobia and northern Albertla. They were both made by Yankovic270. Both mention that the two states were negotiating to build an oil pipeline and they that 2015 was the earliest that consturiton could have begun. I feel that it would be a good idea to WCRB NewHour Headline saying that ground has broke on the oil pipeline this year or maybe last.

The reson I brought the Athabasca Assiniboia oil Pipeline to your attention was because you baned the last person who updated the CRB NewHour Headlines. I figured he must been baned because he didn't consult with who ever his monitoring the timeline in Lordgannon's abebsce. Since you banded the guy who updated the headlines I thought you the one ask. Do you know any active moderator who is still interested in doomsdays before i make my plans to request adoption of  Athabasca Assiniboia and then update the headlines.

As you may had noticed I am still working on the Chinese Empire Article and I have started a stub about espinoge a little while ago. I have the impression that at some point a WWII article by itself will be best. As with the Chinese Empire article I think will focus more on the homefront/society than the war-details alone.

I have noticed I really like many articles about sub-cultures and minorties. Personally I think we should put all the ethnic pages such as (Ukranian, English Alaskans as well as Cossacks, Buddhists and Natives under an Alaskan Culture Category.

I look forward to seeing an Alaskan Culture article from you, as I contiune to stalk your sandbox.

Stepintime (talk) 21:04, January 25, 2018 (UTC)

I am sorry about that, it was just an organzation move that made sense to me. I didn't think of it as claiming owernship but I see how that is a problem. It won't happen again.

Thank you for your permission to add more to these ethnic articles, I admit that is something I have wanted to do for some time. Dacha Disscusion is always welcome :)

Bringing up those people is pretty cool, ethier by incooperating them to the article's text or by having a people's list there.

One thing I think about is developing the web of Alaskan Society between all these different groups. I have concluded for example that Enivormentalism at some point in the late 1900's would explode from the liberal cities of Alaska. Remember that Alaska is built on raw materials and the fur-trade (at least in its early history). Now lets think about Buddhism- traditonally very enviromentalistic (but does adjust for certain countries, think modern China for example). But New World Buddhists are likely to be very forward with their causes. Native Alaskans who otherwise might be more left leaning may be dissauded by angry activists chasitizing them for hunting practices or working in Oil drillling plants. However some of these native Alaskans will also be unhappy to see their old tribal lands put to industrial use regardless of whether some of their kin are employed or not and would still face tensions from Conservative groups like Dougs, Cossacks and ordinary Scandanavian protestants.

Meanwhile middle-way voters (such as Ukranians, Russians (and possibly Cossacks) may feel threatened by the changes of the 21st century. However ethnic groups are also very divided based on geographical lines. Imagine the feelings and life of an upper class Ukranian in Validkaday as opposed to the Russian logger of Idaho.

The best way to organize all of this seemingly disorganized jarble coming out of my head is that Alaska's society would be one of the most socially complex first-world countries. Alaska has a European origin in North America- but also comes from a unique Slavic Origin which was more conservative than say the English or even the Spanish and by itself gives a more asiatic tint (because Russia does have its own Asian background)

Alaska was built on raw materials but now-a-days would be a financhial and tech capital of the world.

Couple this with many recent immigrants from the traditional East-Asia (as oopposed to Russian-Central Asia and Manhcuria) that would become their own upper class.

Also couple this with Alaska being the real capital of the Orthdox Church after the Soviet Union's attacks on Russia's historic religions.

Alaska in some ways would resemble the U.S, Canada and Austrlaia but its society despite apparant North American and English influence would still have its own qualities- perhaps unusual for a typical developed European-based country.
