Re: Apology
I would like to apologize for my continued refusal to accept the rules of the wiki, I didn't understand the rules and didn't bother to read them. So I have decided to say sorry, Happy New Year.

Chilean Regions for Russian America
Hi! Thanks!!! Happy New Year for you too!! :D

No problem about that. I really like the new adminsitrative division for Chile and the chosen names. Yes, Valdivia should become his own region since the beginning. Works good for me.

If I have something to say is that in OTL, currently, a new region is being created:. The bill is still in discussion in the Congress, but is expected to be approved during the next months. If that happen, maybe you will need update the map later xD

A Couple of Campaign Logos
Hiya, Nuke!

Yesterday I uploaded two new campaign logos - one for a Jindal 2012 run and one for a Chafee 2016 run - that I had made. When I checked back today, both were deleted. I've uploaded original campaign logos of mine before, such as a Mike Beebe 2016 logo, that weren't removed.

Since I created the logos myself, what was the problem? If you sent me a message about this, I haven't seen it.

Thanks!

AltHistoryVibes (talk) 00:52, January 5, 2017 (UTC)

I uploaded the new logos because they were at a better resolution, and had some changes from the original logos. Ex: the new Jindal 2012 logo has a different color for the "J" and the red lettering is more uniform; the new Chafee 2016 logo has larger, much sharper red squiggles, and the color of the lettering is also more uniform. (I used screenshots of the text colored in Word instead of trying to color black lettering in an image editor). I tried to replace the old images with the updated versions, but I received a warning about those images having been deleted. Even if the original, rough images are deleted (which would be fine by me), how would I go about uploading the updated versions? AltHistoryVibes (talk) 01:40, January 5, 2017 (UTC)

Template Repair
If I recall correctly, I didn't create any of the template myself; but copied it directly from Wikipedia, which explains all of the incorrect parameters. It would probably be more beneficial if you fixed the template yourself, since I don't have much experience with templates of this complexity.

RE: Seal of the National Assembly of Cygnia
Hi Nuclear. I noticed that you recently deleted a file entitled "Seal of the National Assembly of Cygnia.png" with the reasoning that it was a duplicated file. While it is indeed similar to two other files I uploaded, namely "Seal of the Imperial Congress of Cygnia.png" and "Seal of the Imperial Senate of Cygnia.png", it has a distinct difference, namely that it has the words "National Assembly of the Empire of the United Cygnian States" rather than "Imperial Congress of...etc." and "Imperial Senate of...etc." Therefore, I'd like to request that you undelete this file, as it is not a duplicate.

In the event, however, that I mistakenly uploaded a duplicate of one of the two other files mentioned, I apologise for my error, but kindly request its undeletion anyway so that I may upload the correct file into that name to replace it.

Thank you for your consideration. —  T  I   M  (TSW • AH • MGW • Contribs ) 02:07, January 22, 2017 (UTC)

I imagine the Cossacks carving their own group out, even though many ordinary Slavic people would have ancestoral ties to them, and feel "connections to their heritage".

Sure, I am glad to give input, and clairifcation, what do you want to ask? I like talking about this,

I don't want to make it too big, but I am thinking there may be an addition later, to talk about holy sites, if I could muster the skills I would make a map for this too,

Right now here, I am working on adding to Sea Dragons, but today I focused more on Washington Shot, at Murdering Town, I have made a proposal to adopt the project.

Stepintime (talk) 04:57, February 5, 2017 (UTC)

My reasoning is this for the new varied Buddhism is this,

firstly wherever there were mongols in the russian empire buddhism would spread at least to apoint, after 1770 they were spread across the land and many served in the army on the far flung wars for the empire.

As you know this leads for the community of Mongols towards OTL California and Oreagon. In this brand new world as both similarly subugated people both Mongols and Native Americans interact with each, relations are not always rosey but two groups with more apparant physical simlarties than their Slavic Overlords they would interact. Mongols as you might expect would still prefer rural living and would see native americans

The New School is then forumlated, like this.

Its the 19th century, an age of theological and spirtual experimentation as we know, just as new faiths like Bahai and Mormanisn were formed so could New World Buddhism (while not being as jarring to buddhism as the OTL examples of new religions).

This is also the Americas a free and open country (even in the mountains west coast) with good climate that is not overcrowded like Europe (yet).

Then you have a surge of white colonists some of who would be minorties themsleves, others part of a growing middle class.

From people coming from the most old Eurasian of all words (Mongols) interacting with natives, coming along with the cultural diversification of the 19th century...

and with just a dash of social alientation and creativity from those writiers.. Wham! we have new ideas! Which in part descend from Orientalism and ideas about the "noble savage" when it comes to Indians. Converted settlers beleive their higher purpose is no longer just for their nation, and not for the abrahamic god (also connected to the state in most cases) but is part of purifiying the soul. This is a virgin land for virgin ideas, and with enough experimental intellectuals come around it would be a matter of time before someone like Fyodor Shckerbatskoy began writing this stuff in their heads. Now I don't so much see a charasmatic leader early on like Jospeh Smith or anything like that, which dominated things but the idea would be in people's head. Whilte middle class, upperclass and likelty some beggers as well would feel their spirtuality going in this direction.

=
The chaos of the first half of the 20th century disturbs old ideas and while there is a resurgance in conservatism in the 50's new World Buddhism would now have followers and new organzations to create a group idenitity, this will become increasingly popular after independence as New World Buddhism would be a divorce from Old World=USSR and oppresive Orthodox Clerics (which liberals would never never like). "the Englightenment Church founded in 1955 . =====

As the formation of Alaska would evidently not create enough butterflies to change the cultural convulsions of the late 20th century (given there were still world wars) New World Buddhism would flourish from the 60's through the early 90's, expanding in white membership. Young asian and native Americans might join too to break from the tradition from their forefathers. New World Buddhism would become popular all over the Americas and maybe even Europe as a minority religion.

New World Buddhism again would be inspired by real Indian life, conceptions of the noble savage, the seemingly pure land of North America with the first seed coming from the presence of sub class Mongol expacts looking for anywhere to live a new life and to get a little farther from the Russians (even if that is in a far far away colony of russia)

I realize there is no particular trend to account for this, except that I beleive this ATL is a recepie for new movements unfamilar to us being made.

I hope some of that makes sense, please tell me if you see any problems

Re: You Okay?
Heyyo.

I'm fine, just wanted to clean up my profile after not editing much for a few months. I've actually been spending more time on the Alternate History Discussion Forum for the last few months. College started up a few weeks back as well, so there's that. Mostly just me being on the AHD Forum more often and not having a desire to edit anything. No need to worry.

I think I'll just stick to contributing to Russian America on this site from now on. I've been seeing a lot of cool ideas on the AHD Forum (you should check this one out ), but haven't found a unique topic to start an ATL for on this site.

Apologies for the scare.

Yankee97 (talk) 03:51, February 17, 2017 (UTC)

Thank you very much for your concern.

Indeed I am! I went through a "regionalist" phase again and became interested in the idea of an independent state. I started reading all your notes in regards to in the TL and became even more intrigued by the idea of an independent New England. The sandbox was just a fun activity out of boredom. Now that you bring up again, I'm interested in working on all aspects of the New England Federal Government (i.e. House, Senate, Presidency).

Yankee97 (talk) 19:35, February 17, 2017 (UTC)

Don't worry about it.

Everything seems fine for in 13 Fallen Stars, I'm just interested in expanding on it to degrees similar to what you've done with  (which isn't surprising considering you're a native New Yorker). As a native New Englander, Connecticut to be precise, I'm interested in expanding the New England page.

I never thought of that, but considering the aftermath of the recent election, I could totally see a "Christian Democrat" defeating (albeit narrowly) a "Liberal Republican" in the 2016 election.

I also agree that, despite the GOP's move to the left, they would still have the baggage of being a pro-business party. While I would hope there would be Republicans similar to OTL Jay Rockefeller (utilizing state and business to achieve an end as long as it helps everyone out), the sad truth is the GOP ATL would still be influenced by business.

A real populist could definitely win in 2016. I wouldn't be surprised if the candidate would try to form a new coalition. Hell, it could be a "Second New Deal Coalition." This Second New Deal could be more inclusive towards African-Americans, whom I assume are still disproportionately affected by poverty, because poor people are poor people regardless of the color of their skin. Without the outlandish remarks (a la our current President) and the blatant attempts to appeal to racism and xenophobia, I could this ATL populist Democrat winning comfortably in 2016.

If a real populist runs in 2016, I think we can cast aside the candidacies of a Democratic Rick Santorum and Scott Walker. I could see Walker still being a Republican ATL.

I've seen your list of ATL People and yes, given Bernie and Grayson's ancestry, they would be Alaskans. In terms of the candidate who would win the nomination, I'm opting for ATL Senator Lincoln Chafee (R-RI). While I think he'd be a good candidate (I would have voted for him), I think he'd run a campaign similar to that of H. Clinton being perceived as boring and uninspiring compared to the populist Democrat. I could see Chafee picking someone like Charlie Crist (who would probably have been elected in the 2010 Florida Senate race) to form a moderate ticket. Despite his optimism for a GOP victory, I could see Crist still running for reelection to his seat in 2016 and given the solid liberal GOP bench in ATL Florida (essentially being an ATL California) Crist would probably be reelected.

That's all I've got so far. I hope these ideas can be a foundation for future ideas in Russian America.

Before 1984

EDIT: After seeing your post on my talk page, I understand your reason for deleting the article. However, if timelines based on derivative works are not permitted on this site, you may want to take a look at Rome-Berlin-Tokyo-Moscow Alliance, which is the exact same thing as the timeline that I wrote--it explains how the world of 1984 came about. I would also like to protest the fact that the article was not formally nominated for deletion with the proper template.

I am both Monkeygoo42 and Makefolkslaugh. The former I made years ago to make a post on a different wiki, while the latter was made specifically for my work on Uncyclopedia. I know it's quite confusing.

I appreciate your offer. I don't foresee the possibility of my article being done for quite some time, so I don't think it would be at home in a temporary sandbox. I would, however, like to take you up on your offer to retrieve your work so that I can move it offsite, because I certainly want to continue working on it. Lesson learned--always back up your work.

Proposal for Russian America
I was thinking about those Alaskan Creoles. Would they be considered as Indians or as a separate category?

By the way, since in OTL, the Pacific Northwest is the gaming capital of America, it would make sense if Alaska develop its own game consoles. What do you think?

General tiu (talk) 04:21, March 16, 2017 (UTC)

Thanks for the input. I think it might start first with the Atari or its Borealian equivalent and the Colecovision. Then the alternate Steve Jobs and Wozniak might notice that their alternate Yabloko computers need to be tweaked and develop their own gaming console as well. They are the North American equivalent of Nintendo. Korea might also be a console-game producing country for a longer period than OTL, due to later independence, and Samsung and LG would produce gaming consoles as well (in OTL, the 3DO console was also produced by LG when it was called Goldstar). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3DO_Interactive_Multiplayer Philips of the Netherlands might get a better reputation than OTL in gaming consoles: their CD-i as we know bombed. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philips_CD-i Perhaps a better CD-i design might save it ATL.

In OS systems, there would be an Alaskan Yabloko (Apple) system, an American system that might be the ATL Microsoft equivalent, Linux, and a Japanese/Korean one.

Considering Getting Serious about AH?
Hi again NV,

I have some more questions for you. I've asked them elsewhere but haven't gotten a satisfactory response so I'm hoping you can.

I'm wanting to seriously get into working on my Alternate Histories. I've got about 10 timeline ideas and I need to finish fleshing out my contributions to open timelines.

I'm having difficulties keeping myself on track because as a visual leaner, I need infographics to not only construct my own worlds but to understand other alternate histories as we'll as OTL history.

Which means I need to have a vast repertoire of source material on hand in order to construct my alternate histories. And I often do end up with large satabses, problem is I go between over or under organizing my material. If you're someone who needs lots of source material, how do you go about sitting your repertoire?

Also, do you think it's acceptable to use academic sources to write timelines? Is it ok to use academic sources to present a timeline as being plausible on the basis of those source said? Is it ok to have timelines emphasize a particular ideological tradition as long as I can back it up with sources? Or would I be perch ever as being condescending or what have you?

Also, what programs would you suggest to create visuals? I hate paint but bulk at the cost of Photoshop. I tried GIMP but find if user unfriendly so I'm considering Paint.NET. I also timelier Injscape but found it even more confusing than GIMP.

One other thing, I'd like to use certain images uploaded to the flags and make threads in alternatehistory.com. Do you know if they are considered in the public domain or are the copyrights subject to the creatir's duscretikn?

Korea in Russian America question
Hey Nuke, I had a question regarding Korea in your TL Russian America. When Korea was voting for independence from Japan, was there any discussion about restoring the independent monarchy under the then-King of Korea (it would be Hoeun at the time, I believe)? The Korean Imperial family were technically sovereigns of Korea during Japanese rule, so would it have been possible for them to remain head of state of an independent Korea?

Korea in RA
Greetings, so I saw your conversation about the status of Korea post-independence on Guy's talkpage, and I would like to help (sorry if this may seem intrusive to you).

Anyways, I would like to point out that the reason why the House of Yi were never reinstated irl was because Rhee Syngman (who was ironically a seventeenth-generation descendant of Taejong), viewed them as a threat to his power. It was only during the seventies under pro-Japanese Park Chunghee were they allowed to settle in Korea, and before that, they lived in Japan.

While I even doubt the House of Yi would exist because irl they sought to absorb it (hence the many intermarriages between Korean and Japanese royalty), if it managed to remain an independence royal house, it would likely kept its prestige and status intact despite association with Japan.

This would ofc would mean specific circumstances. For example, during the first phase of Japanese rule in Korea, there was no assimilationist policy. While the unity of both Korean and Japanese peoples were stressed by the Japanese government, it promoted this through the patronization of Korean national consciousness, defining Korean culture as a subordinate daughter branch of Japanese culture. It was only during the second phase, and especially after the intensification of the Pacific War, in which the assimilationist policies (such as prohibition of Korean language, forced participation of Koreans in Shinto rituals, and so on) were enforced. Furthermore, many of the Korean elite at least until the late thirties/forties were in fact pro-Japanese, as they instituted reforms (such as tax and land distribution reform) that the preceding Joseon dynasty failed to implement independently.

Good luck on your project, and hope this helps you.

A Question to Ask
Hey Nuke, long time!

I had a question regarding your skills of wiki coding. From what I understand you have some knowledge of under the bonnet stuff like css. As a result, I was wondering if there was any way to reduce the presence of all the "Fan Feed" junk that is filling up pages on the wiki. I know they are advertisments but there are wikia related so I thought they perhaps may be under our control to change. If you have any idea how to reduce/remove the presence of such things, then I and the rest of the wiki I feel would appreciate any help you can provide.

Cheers, Imp (Say Hi?!) 17:19, June 2, 2017 (UTC)

Ah no Nuke, not whitespacing during editing. It's all the stuff that comes up when you are reading timeline pages and the like. Any help you can do would be great. Impishly yours, Imp (Say Hi?!) 18:32, June 2, 2017 (UTC)

I think I mean the sidebar yeh. All this about popular fandom articles and the like. Impishly yours, Imp (Say Hi?!) 19:34, June 5, 2017 (UTC)

Rule Breaking
Hey, I renamed the Malagasystan page. Can I remove the box now? Why did it need to be renamed anyway?

RE: Duplication
Hey Nuke, I read your message and would like an exception to be made for my Flag of the Northern Isles (as you correctly ascertained, the which I'd like to use to represent all the ). As I argued in our 2014 exchange on the same topic, this is again a matter of standardization; in this case the dimensions and colors used in the 2007 Flag of Orkney deviate visibly from both the file in question and others I use. Also note that I didn't actually upload a completely new file, as I uploaded an identical flag on March 4th of last year under a different file name (before I opted for Northern in lieu of Orkney). Please consider moving the latter file to the new title or restoring the deleted file. --NFSreloaded (talk) 21:21, June 3, 2017 (UTC)

orthoganic projections
My computer is broke so I am writing this from my phone, I have minor access to my dads computer. So please excuse bad grammar and spelling.

Anyways I was wondering how you make your orthganic projections for Venusian haven or any timeline.

Also you should make a gypsey state in Venusian haven.

New Edits
Noticed the new religion edits in the Russian America page. I feel proud to be cannoinized!

Also wanted to say I like the new edited coated of arms of the country, looks cool. but what inspired this change in symbol?

Stepintime (talk) 21:09, June 5, 2017 (UTC)

We are most critical of our work if we take it seriously, so objecively speaking I suggest that you keep the coat of arms as it is now. That I don't say to make you happy (though I hope it does) but rather a good soup can bee cooked too much. Likely better is to write an article from the Alaskan perspective writing about what the coat of arms means to the ATL Alaskans. The liberty cap... does just slap North America on the whole thing as intended.

I liked the original motto myself "but north toward the future" had a swing of realismin it. I imagine any seperate country up there would have words like that.

Do keep the word "future" in there regardless of anything else.

You gave my article a good paragrah summary, hitting the main points. Though I admit I might want to write a little more about the subject, since I have imagine the original Kalmyk being clustered in segreated towns before becoming part of multicultural cities later. Even today there would be some "Mongol Towns" in Sonoma.

But again, I was so happy to see my article included in the main page, I liked seeing the numbers too (and the Judasim)

I think from here I would suggest that we go forth in talking about mianstream Alakan cuture- cusine, the church.. even social habits.. and more about the modern history on how the different cultures of Alaska live alongside each other. I thought you were on to seomthing when you metioned Alaskan race relations in the Dacha talk page.

Dont forget that we can write about aase studides too ( the subjects I have mentioned before)

Stepintime (talk) 02:22, June 6, 2017 (UTC)

Coat of Arms of Alaskan Guberniyas
I was thinking what would the CoA's of the other Alaskan Guberniyas would look like. In Columbia, we could see the OTL British Columbia CoA being used, but the Russian Naval Jack being used in the place of the Union Jack. Tongass was the former flag being used as a shield. In Oregon's case, the old seal of the Provisional Government of Oregon would be the basis. I don't know about Idaho, but I saw the Seal of OTL and I didn't like the overcrowded CoA. Kodiak might be a white cross on a black background.

What do you think?

Hey! I'm sorry, I should have looked over the rules. Regarding my articles on Lincoln Chafee (The More Things Changed), Martin O'Malley (The More Things Changed) Bernie Sanders (The More Things Changed), and Gary Locke (The More Things Changed), I was fleshing in some biographical info from Wikipedia, and didn't realize this was wrong.

In hindsight, I should have. Mea Culpa.

Hello Nuke, I'm new here but I've lurked for a while, and your TL's are perticularly well made and enthralling. I made a GIF of 10- and some 20-year intervals in the political map (Worlda format) of Antarctica in the Great White South TL, starting in 1917. I only felt confient mapping years (or periods during years) where I could pin down specific events happening, I would've attempted to map out WWI & WWII but they don't seem to have been fully revised in accordance with the major slate-wiping in 2016. I hope this isn't annoying or anything of that nature, I know GWS hasn't been updated in a while.

Russian America
Hey, I'd like to help you with your Russian America timeline by incorporating more stuff into it like: That's all I have. Squidzo&#39;s meat house (talk) 06:50, August 9, 2017 (UTC)
 * Sagallo, Russian Somaliland. Russia would be more powerful so they would be able to keep Sagallo.
 * More powerful Japan?
 * Successful Maritz Rebellion in South Africa, causing a civil war between german supported boers, British, and Zulu nationalists.
 * Different World War 1?
 * Russia sides against Britain in a world war and there is a land war in Asia between Russia and the Colony of India.


 * I have another suggestion: The Persian Socialist Soviet Republic lasts longer due to more powerful Russia. Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania (maybe finland too) are part of the Soviet Union until 1991. Also, the US shouldn't be as powerful. It probably was an equal member of NATO and not the main force. This could mean many things in the cold war could have gone differently.

Hey I don't know who else to ask. What is the Alt Wiki Discord Server called. Since no one is using chat anymore.

Using wikipedia text
Scerus (talk) 21:34, September 4, 2017 (UTC)

<p style="font-weight:normal;font-size:16px;">Using wikipedia text is within the legal obligations of copy-left. I am not going to post articles outside of my timeline and will source back to the oringinal articles. It is lawful.

<p style="font-weight:normal;font-size:16px;">If I understand correctly, is it against the rules to copy-and-past text that is outside the realms of that-said timeline. May I do so if I reference at the bottom and avoid rule-breaking?. Because again, it is a free source and can be utilized freely. I can place the various sources and references at the bottom of the page. Or hyperlink, this will eliminate the encouragement of rule-breaking.

<p style="font-weight:normal;font-size:16px;">If so, you need to clearly define that using outside sources is not within the rules outlined on this wiki.

<p style="font-weight:normal;font-size:16px;">Regards, Scerus.

<p style="font-weight:normal;font-size:16px;text-align:right;">I just offered to hyper-link it, this eliminates setting a bad standard. I am not going to post a billion articles, it doesn't explicitly tell me that I cannot use wikipedia as a text-source, or any other text-sources for that matter. I thought the template was just the issue, I don't get why I cannot use it. With respect, you have given vague reasons why I cannot use such sources. The rule states that users are not allowed to post too many articles, bearing that in mind, I don't see why I can't.

<p style="font-weight:normal;font-size:16px;">Scerus (talk) 21:34, September 4, 2017 (UTC)

<p style="font-weight:normal;font-size:16px;">Again, I won't post too many articles.

<p style="font-weight:normal;font-size:16px;">I am confused, wikipedia allows others to distribute work and modify it freely, even commercially. If I am not mistaken, I can paste, make edits, and register them at the bottom.

<p style="font-weight:normal;font-size:16px;">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Reusing_Wikipedia_content

<p style="font-weight:normal;font-size:16px;">EDIT: can I API reference if I do not modify it?

<p style="font-weight:normal;font-size:16px;">To clarify, I will resuse it, but will also make edits and reference the users who created the articles.

<p style="font-weight:normal;font-size:16px;">Scerus (talk) 21:36, September 4, 2017 (UTC)

<p style="font-weight:normal;font-size:16px;">Sorry if I was being rude :)

The Philippines in Russian America
This has probably occured to you before that since America has no west coast they couldn't take the Philippines during the Spanish-American War. My proposal to fix this would be to have Mexico join the war on America's side, invading the philippines and then the Philippines have a similar history to OTL except replace America with Mexico. Maybe the Mexicans could better control the Philippines due to them both being colonized by Spain? You probably already have a solution, but I thought this could be a bit creative and maybe have Mexico replace America in an analogue to the Pacific War.

Images
I changed the duplicate images (and would like to remark that this site's image search function sucks balls), but why did you remove the France and Scandinavia ones? The ones on the site don't look how I want them to look. EchoChamber (talk) 14:58, September 20, 2017 (UTC)

And also, the confederate flag as well? The ones I find on the site don't have the right number of stars! EchoChamber (talk) 15:00, September 20, 2017 (UTC)

I don't know if I'm doing this wrong, but I simply can't find the images that you keep removing. The Louisiana one, for example: if search "Louisiana" it shows 100 results, mostly maps, and the flag I want doesn't show up; if search "Louisiana Flag", I get 10k results, the first of which are flags that have nothing at all to do with what I'm looking for. I don't want to get my account blocked, but how am I supposed to not post duplicates if I can't find files? EchoChamber (talk) 16:49, September 20, 2017 (UTC)

I read what you linked me, and to be honest, I feel even more confused. So, you removed the flag of Louisiana and the CoA of Maryland I uploaded, but I need to put them in the template: since I can't find either on this site, unless those images are really good at hiding, I tried linking them directly from wikipedia. Pasting the image URL doesn't work, just the file name doesn't work, using the brackets with "File" doesn't work, what am I supposed to do exactly? EchoChamber (talk) 17:20, September 20, 2017 (UTC)

At this point I'm starting to think you're deleting my images without even looking at them. I'm wasting your time and you're wasting mine, so please tell me once and for all how images work on this site, because I don't think I'm understanding this.

On Editing Those Articles
I feel as though the chinese empire page is almost done and there is little need to edit it. My world war 1 page was just to illustrate my idea for a mexican occupation of the philippines after Mexico helps out America during the Spanish American War. I find it unlikely that Mexico would accept the Zimmerman telegram in this timeline as they had lost no territory from America so I could feasibly see Mexico keeping the Philippines until the Mexican revolution (which would happen at a different time, probably the 1950s). A mexican occupation would be much more welcome than an american one (due to a shared hispanic culture). Mexico and the Philippines would probably have a similar relationship as the US and Philippines have OTL. You could delete the world war 1 page.

http://althistory.wikia.com/wiki/Special:Upload?wpDestFile=PM4+Americas+1815.svg

It says it was a Duplicated/Superseded File, however, I think this was a mistake. It's certainly not a duplicate since I made it myself, and it may be similar to the map I uploaded after that was labeled, but I didn't intend for it to be superseded, but rather I wanted two different versions.

Anyway if there is a reason that I missed for it to be deleted please let me know, otherwise I would like it restored (I can reupload it if that's alright). Thanks, Hquvfrioyle Lilenofryn (talk) 20:21, November 14, 2017 (UTC)

Isn't that your opinion though? Maybe for you it might not be useful, but for me it could be. But even besides that, even ignoring the lack of labels the first map was actually different from the second one. So I'd appreciate it if the deleted map could be restored, and maybe in the future ask before doing deleting someone's map like that. I actually don't have a copy anymore, so please restore it if you can. It would save me the effort of having to delete the labels and all the differences on my second map.

Furthermore, I can kind of understand why you delete duplications of flags and such so the right flag is easy to find, but how is the wiki bettered by you deleting a creator's map? Hquvfrioyle Lilenofryn (talk) 04:25, November 15, 2017 (UTC)

No worries, I understand. The other map had different borders/nations on it, basically it corresponded to a different time in the game. My plan was to have the first map as a base map and then make newer maps as time progressed in the game, as such the second map I uploaded was the first installment in that plan. Also I was going to experiment with possibly using the first map in a template, while the subsequent maps were more for presentation on their own.

Images
I recently uploaded an image for my Nations page, that I also posted to the Flags of Indonesia page. It was there for a few days, then it said you deleted it with the reason "Misnamed file". I just have a few questions:

1. It was called indonesiaflagnad.png. Why did you delete it?

2. Is there some sort of naming convention for images on the wiki?

I am not trying to be rude, I am just asking.

Sincerely:

Re: Restoring Redirects
They serve a mostly cosmetic function as the broken file links look ugly on the infoboxes. Please do not delete these.

- UR 14:29, November 17, 2017 (UTC)

Hey, this isn't really any of my business, but I saw your problem with UR making those redirects. FYI you can just edit the template itself and remove the link creating the problem (replacing it with a link directly to the page he wants for example), so that way he doesn't have to keep making the redirect page. That way there's no redirect page and it still looks nice, so you both get what you want. I can do it for you actually when I get a chance later.

Edit: Or add "| party_name = no" to the pages that use the template and it removes the link, if that's what UR is fine with.

Hquvfrioyle Lilenofryn (talk) 06:21, November 19, 2017 (UTC)

Okay I ended up editing the template so I think it's fixed now. UR gets what he wants: the links are there and go to "Category:Political parties". And you get what you want: there's no more redirects. You can go ahead and delete the redirects he made now. Hope that helps, Hquvfrioyle Lilenofryn (talk) 06:42, November 19, 2017 (UTC)

Nuke, I have spoken with him about this and I believe he understands now. This situation should be resolved.

Re: Re:Restoring Redirects
Hello,

I only restored that redirect so the creator of that content knows where his works went.

Please don't delete my template again
Hello again, I believe we have encountered each other in the past.

Could you please refrain from deleting the template 'Template:Ascension/meta/shortname'? It serves as a way to ensure it doesn't display by that name and instead as Ascension, which is the name of a party in my TL.

Or perhaps could make it so that Template:Election does not display before or after parties in the way Template:(party name)/meta/shortname?

Thanks!

File naming
Hello, I am aware of that.

However you deleted all images, presumably because you were too lazy to check. Several images were stock images of businesspeople or politicians, it is not possible to name them after the real person because that name is not known. Others did I find by typing merely generic terms. I know there were some pictures of real people, but I forgot their names because I did label them by their real name on my computer. Some of the images might have been of known people but which I simply named because I did not find see their name at the site where I found the image.

You even deleted a file called Bothaina Kamel, who is an actual Egyptian politician, which was used for the politician Zahira Al Qasimi. This was the only picture of a known person whose name I remembered.

Please don't do this again, I do try to name them after the real person if there is a known name. I would also appreciate it if you had notified me or discussed this subject before deleting all the images I uploaded instead of just deleting them all, even though several of them were just stock photos or photos of a person of an unknown name.

Civciv5 (talk) 03:13, November 26, 2017 (UTC)

Hello again.

As for the names of people whose names are known, I will try to reverse search the images and try to find their source, be aware that not all are from wikipedia however. Also be aware that I will not attempt to scourge all of the Internet to find their source if it's difficult to find.

As for naming people whose names are not known, let me quote you on something you said a while ago:

I interpreted this as naming a file whatever I want if there is no known name for it. I mean, I think it makes little sense to upload files called 'Woman in suit1.jpg' or 'Smiling man in suit452.jpg'. If that is indeed what you want, then I guess little choice than to accept it. Did you alone decide the wikia's policy on this? Or did you actually consult with others?

Your dictatorial policies here are also quite concerning, whatever you decide others simply have to follow, because you are a moderator?

Also you deleted a file called Bothaina Kamel, who is a real Egyptian woman. Why did you do this? I actually named the file after the real person.

Civciv5 (talk) 15:24, November 26, 2017 (UTC)

Question/Help
Could you please stop replacing all the files I uploaded? Once again you have offered no explanation for this nor did you even attempt to contact me to discuss this.

Please stop this, it's getting annoying. The files you replaced the ones I uploaded with are not good for profile pictures, so please don't do this. I also upload cropped files which are better to use on certain pages, so please don't replace those.

You also deleted all the files I uploaded that I gave generic names, why? You deleted them when I give them names out of my timeline and now you delete them even when I give them generic names? What would you have me do?!

EDIT: Apparently you gave them names like ""? Which is preposterous as no one can see who that person is by that name. What is your reasoning behind this? It makes much more sense to give them the name of the actual person depicted on them.

You even deleted correctly named photos who depicted people like Wu Chun or Hua Chunying, who are actual real people, look them up on Wikipedia. Why did you do this? You could easily find the names of the people by reverse searching them!

You didn't even answer my previous message, would you at least be so kind to respond to messages in a way that answers all my questions?

Please answer soon, thank you.

Civciv5 (talk) 23:06, November 26, 2017 (UTC)

You have once again deleted files I uploaded.

Would you at least grant me the honor of an lengthy detailed explanation what I did wrong and how files should be named? What should I exactly do to keep you from deleting them?

A response to my previous enquiries would be nice too.

I'm now tired and I'm going to bed, I hope to see an answer to my questions when I awake tomorrow. Please I beg you.

Civciv5 (talk) 23:33, November 26, 2017 (UTC)

I sincerely apologize
I am very sorry if I have offended you.

I'll try to follow the policy you explained a few minutes ago as close as possible in the future.

I also am verry sorry for possible namecalling, please forgive me, I am only human, and humans can get irritated by very minor inconveniences. I'll try not to do this in the future.

If I may ask one question: How would you have me name cropped pictures? Am I even allowed to upload cropped pictures?

Also should I always try to link to the source or is this not required? What about files I edited in photoshop, can I name those with a name from my timeline like the profile picture of Asami Saito (where I added a background)?

How should I name pictures which are screenshotted from a video? Sorry to bother you with these questions, but I want to be sure this time.

Once again you have my utmost and sincere apologies. I hope I will earn your forgiveness sometime.

Kind regards, Civciv5

Re:File names
OK, I think I understand

However since only administrators can move files I will have to reupload files, I will list obsolete files in the delete category.

However the file I uploaded but you deleted of Daniel Bacquelaine is slightly cropped. It cuts off a bit at the top and bottom. You see the nameplate says "Bacqueline" or something, it is somewhat distracting. Could I have permission to reupload it? Or what do I have to do get a cropped version approved?

Also how should I name files that are screenshots of videos?

I had no intention of duplicating a file, so I'm very sad that this is counted as duplication.

Please don't suspend me, I have every intention of following the guidelines correctly, any mistake I made or will make is an accident and not intentional.

Kind regards

Civciv5 (talk) 19:55, November 27, 2017 (UTC)

Part 2
Thanks, I hope this is the start of more friendly relations between us.

Unfortunately in many cases cropped pictures are a necessity because they would otherwise not be fitting for the profile picture of a person. Sorry about that.

I asked the thing about videos because there actually already screenshots of videos that I uploaded (mainly from documentaries about history).

At the moment there is nothing on my mind, if there is in the future, I'll consult with you.

I take it the file names of everything are in order now or are there still changes that have to be made?

Kind regards

Alternate Spanish Civil War
Please, don´t delete it, I will solve the problem if you are more speciffic with it, I tried to create a template but it doesn´t work.

hey what the reason for you deleting my pictures. I worked hard on those! i changed the name. what else do you want me to do. Blacksugarlv

okay thank you ill change them blacksugarlv

Do you think they are good now? Blacksugarlv

I planned on using same flag. i got it from wikipedia. Israel ended up surving the war since most of its forces were safe from the main attack. since they were off invading Syria. If you want me to modify it i will if its a problem. Thanks for changing the name of the page too. Blacksugarlv

Alright i see. Do you think the picture titles are good or must i change them. i wrote them like how i did it. thanks Blacksugarlv

File deletion
They are files I have uploaded and are deleting them due to copy-right concerns, frankly, if I didn't it would be illegal as this website is commercially based and is not factual, thus does not qualify as fair use/fair dealing.

Acadia Coat of Arms idea for Russian America
I found this:

https://www.alternatehistory.com/forum/threads/alternate-wikipedia-infoboxes-v-do-not-post-current-politics-here.430177/page-23#post-16144326

The fact that he managed to have an entire Wikipedia article about an AH country is amazing. I think you need to observe the CoA of New England as a possible Acadia CoA, with modifications.

Hey
Why would you delete JKNC_flag.svg.ph?

I plan to keep the Pinowa timeline, other articles were Beta version seperate timelines which have been deleted by me. Plan on moving forward with this one however. Could you please remove the deletion template from the Pinowa page, sincerely En.Historian.

I feel you have a problem with me, my skills are pretty bad on Wiki so contructive criticism and tips would be helpful. En.Historian (talk) 01:37, December 13, 2017 (UTC)En-Historian

Various CoA removed
I see you have removed numerous CoA of Finnish Historical Provinces and I struggled to find replacements on the site given their names. Why have they been removed if there doesn't exist the apparent Duplicated/Superseded File

Linking Templates
Hello,

I am new to the wiki and I was wondering how I could make a template similar to the template shown in the conventions section of the wiki. With regards to this, I wish to be able to make a template which uses the same conventions but shows a different word. For example, I assume it would look something like this:

(Name)

Where the 1 is the page you wish to visit, Name is the timeline and 2 is there word you actualy want to show. I'd imagine the use of this would be something along the lines of this:

Rather than experimenting and finding out for myself I decided to ask here instead as it is not my highest priority and doesn't prevent me from doing work elsewhere. Furthermore, I ask because I believe you would be able to point me in the right directions to look further into these areas.

Thanks, ArmsSpaghetti (talk) 12:09, December 20, 2017 (UTC)

Re: The Cross Issue
Hi Nuke,

Regarding the cross issue I have spoken with Scraw and others and we think we know were the complication has arisen from. I had not gotten the image from wikimedia, so I didn't know that it was already there and could be obtained in svg format. As such, I had no idea why you were repeatedly deleting my image. In the future, if someone uploads something that can be obtained from wikimedia, do you think you could be a little more specific that the same image is on wikimedia instead of simply saying that it is a mislabeled file? I think doing so would clear up a lot of confusion in the long run.

Map of Belarus
Hi Nuke!

I've twice tried to upload a map of Belarus in Europe, and twice I've had them removed. In my search of this site, I was unable to find those particular maps, and assumed that I could then upload images that had not been previously uploaded. If I'm missing the original images here somewhere, could you please point me in the right direction to find these Belorussian maps?

Thank you!
