Iceland Volcano (83dd)
I put a quick story about the Eyjafjallajokull ash cloud onto the WCRB Newshour Main Page (1983: Doomsday) page. I hope it's acceptable, but feel free to correct any errors. Benkarnell 03:18, April 22, 2010 (UTC)

Essex/Woodbridge-Sweden trade agreement
Hi Realismadder, I'm Fegaxeyl, editor of the Essex (1983: Doomsday) article. Along with Verence71, who edits the Woodbridge (1983: Doomsday) article, we wish to purchase any old freighters in the possession of the Nordic Union. We're assuming that as Sweden is reputed to have a 'booming' metalwork industry it is capable of constructing new vessels to replace older ships it possesses, and rather than see them scrapped or mothballed our two nations would like to purchase them for refitting. Our initial order would be for ten (or so), but we are not sure what we could as an exchange item, though knowledge or potential trade deals are possible bargaining chips. Is there anything you think our nations could provide you with in return for a purchase of outdated and mostly useless freighters? Fegaxeyl 20:19, April 26, 2010 (UTC)


 * The Swedish Minister of Trade, Ewa Björling, expresses her gratitude for the offer, and informs that at they can sell the 10 freighters. The initial price is around NUK 60 million per vessel, but the price can be changed after further negotiations (regarding the economic situation in Essex and Woodbridge). In return, the government of Essex and Woodbridge can deliver the payment partially in form of currency and partially in form of manufactured goods, such as chemicals, pharmacutical goods as well as foodstuffs. Björling, however, informs that as the Swedish merchant fleet is relatively small, they urge both countries to ask neighbouring Norway for any additional vessels, as Norway is one of the major shipbuilding nations in Europe and in the world. However, she adds that she hopes that Essex and Woodbridge in the common years will choose Sweden for lucrative trade agreements of goods such as heavy machinery, automobiles, telecommunications and lumber.


 * Along with the Swedish offer, the Norwegian government, represented by Minister of Industry and Trade, Trond Giske, who currently has among the world's largest merchant fleet (1,408 vessels), is willing to give both Essex and Woodbridge 2 freighters each as a sign of goodwill, and hopes that this will open for increased trade between, and opens for further sales of further freighters, but also other goods such as fish, oil or natural gas.


 * Realismadder 22:30, April 26, 2010 (UTC)
 * The governments of Essex and Woodbridge, represented by their foreign ministers Simon Burns and John Robson respectively, thank the Swedish and Norwegian ministers of trade for their generous and will happily supply the desired resources in return for the freighters. Both are willing to share their produce with their Nordic allies and look forward to potential future trade agreements. Prime Minister/Foreign Minister John Robson of Woodbridge would also like to inform the Nordic Union of Woodbridge's interest in purchasing any military surplus the Nordic Union's constituent nations may produce in the future.

I'v started the article for Maudland (A Norwegian colony) in the Great White South timeline and as you seem to have a good knowlage of Norway and other scandanavian countries i was wondering if you would like to help me out?Vegas adict 20:32, May 7, 2010 (UTC)


 * Hi!


 * I had to read what the timeline was all about, and it seems to be quite interesting. The article itself looks promising, although some questions:


 * The flag - where did you get the inspiration for that? Not that it is bad or anything, but I think it would be more likely that they would use the Norwegian flag - or at least a flag with a Scandinavian cross (alternatively the one with a small Norwegian flag in the corner).
 * I assume that Maudland as a colony had a Governor (Sysselmann) until 1942? Perhaps Maudland has a similar status within the Kingdom of Norway as the Faroe Islands and Greenland has in the Kingdom of Denmark?


 * Realismadder 22:45, May 7, 2010 (UTC)


 * Thanks for your points, I had intented the political system to be based on norways but i have no knowlage of it whatsoever as i live in the UK where the political landscape is very diferent. I would apreciate it if you could help me with thisVegas adict 20:06, May 28, 2010 (UTC)

Help with Templates
Hi, I was wondering if it would be at all possible to ask for your help to design some templates for some of my alternate Histories? If not, that's OK, but if you can that would be great!Tbguy1992 19:20, June 7, 2010 (UTC)


 * Hi,


 * It really depends what kind of templates you want. Specify, and I will look into it. Realismadder 19:38, June 7, 2010 (UTC)


 * I was wondering about a couple generalized templates for my althist French Trafalgar, British Waterloo, such as templates for the states of United States of America and Confederate States of America, as well as a template like the one on An Independent in 2000's portal page. Please? Tbguy1992 19:49, June 7, 2010 (UTC)


 * Even if you can tell me how to design them, I will try to make them myself. Tbguy1992 19:50, June 7, 2010 (UTC)


 * Well, templates like those you are referring to are easy to modify. Let's take the front page infobox as a starter. Tell me what you want on it (sections and pages) and I can make a basic one for you. Realismadder 21:38, June 7, 2010 (UTC)


 * I would like to have links to the POD page, then one to each of the "History" articles, although I haven't finished them all, so I will be expanding that in the future. Also, the various links I have in, such as nations and leaders etc. If you can, that would be greatly appreciated! Tbguy1992 13:22, June 8, 2010 (UTC)

First version

 * This is the first version. Is this what you were looking for?


 * The link to it can be found here.


 * Realismadder 16:10, June 8, 2010 (UTC)


 * Looks good, thanks! I'll be putting it up now!Tbguy1992 17:51, June 8, 2010 (UTC)

Answers to Central Victory questions
Hello, let me start out by saying thank you for your patients. I have been very busy and I faild to notice that the discussion page was used on one of my articles, and they are good questions. To answer your question regarding Norway and Sweden, the union is not voluntary. Norway joins the allies as in OTL during WW2, but Sweden joins the Axis, which it is known that the HM King Gustav V of Sweden was a huge German supporter in both World Wars, respectfully. Ties betwen the two countries would gain as the years after WW1 and finally after promise of an empire of their own Sweden would engage Norway and Russia during my WW2. After the war Norway was under combined Swedish and German occupation were the union was forced upon the Norwegian government. This union depended on German support however and at the end of the Cold War era of CV the German Reich collapses. Without support the union breaks again and Sweden and Norway build a distrust towards eachother for decades, I've yet to plot out the rest from there.

As for Czechoslovakia, the page you looked at is the original of the CV timeline that I've yet to change. So I apologize but I've not really thought out much about most of the puppet states of the timeline yet. I will update you when I do though and perhaps you can assist me in creating a realistic timeline for Northern and parts of Central Europe in this timeline. Once again thank you for your patience and I hope this answers your questions.Central Victory Creator 02:58, June 29, 2010 (UTC)


 * Don't worry - my critical questions are meant solely as constructive criticism. Your timeline is interesting, so I would like it to be as plausible as possible. And your timeline concerning Norway and Sweden sounds to me a bit like what happened in 1814 (Norway declared their independence and wrote a constitution, Sweden invaded but faced heavy resistance, and instead of annexing the country they entered a personal union) and 1905.


 * If needed, I will gladly help you out with some of the minor countries in your timeline.

That would certainly be appreciated. Feel free to create the pages regarding countries of your expertese.Central Victory Creator 01:03, June 30, 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep up the great work,

Thank you
Thank you for helping me with the formatting on the List of Presidents of The United States (President Delay) article. GOPZACK 00:41, July 8, 2010 (UTC)


 * No problem. Always happy to help. Need anything else, contact me, and I will see if I can help. Realismadder 00:51, July 8, 2010 (UTC)

Can I ask for some more help?
Thanks a lot for the help you gave me on the previous template. I just have a question to ask you: is their anyway that I can modify the way the links are typed in? This is mostly because I have to do "(French Trafalgar, British Waterloo), and I was wondering if their is a way to make it so it could be like (FTBW) while still keeping the "French Trafalgar, British Waterloo" in the title of the articles? I know some people have been able to do that with some TL's, but I'm wondering how to make it.

If you could help me with this, It would be greatly appreciated! Tbguy1992 04:11, July 26, 2010 (UTC)

New Nordic members
you must edit the world country profiles, and the nordic union, because the article said that Estonia, Karelia, North germany "will" join August 1. VENEZUELA 00:33, August 18, 2010 (UTC)


 * Thanks for reminding me. I will do it today (the 18th). Realismadder 00:36, August 18, 2010 (UTC)
 * Yeah, about that, I've added Karelia as a participant in the European Games, since I created the article. But now I've realized that since it is entering the Nordic Union (which I welcome), is it going to boycott the games since they are being held in Prussia?--Vladivostok 08:03, August 18, 2010 (UTC)

Nordic Union - Russian Confederacy relations
Me and Vlad have been discusing the international relations of the and we have decided that some form of close relationship/alliance would exist. The RC has the unfortunate posistion of being right next to Siberia and needs international backing, obviously the benefits to the RC would be huge but it would also allow the Nordic Union to gain access to the RC's heavy industry. I was wondering what your thoughts are on this proposistion?Vegas adict 12:43, August 30, 2010 (UTC)

Woodbridge-Nordic Union trade
As a follow up to our previous deal over the frieghters I wonder if the NU would be interested in selling Woodbridge some military surplus?? Verence71 13:45, September 13, 2010 (UTC)

Would you mind if I made pages about the Nordic Union Countries? Arstar [talk] 03:30, October 5, 2010 (UTC)

Åland: finally wrote
I asked about creating a history for Åland June of last year. Fifteen months later, I finally have: Åland Islands (1983: Doomsday). I would prefer that you personally approve the page before it "graduates," especially since it touches on the history of Sweden and Finland as well. Since you're no longer active... well, I'd still think of the page as more-or-less in limbo until such time as you are able to read and critique it. Benkarnell 02:11, October 10, 2010 (UTC)
