What You Think
How big or small should I make the population? If there is anything else you realy believe needs to be changed, please contact me. BlackSkyEmpire 19:23, June 8, 2010 (UTC)BlackSkyEmpire

I don't know how to create new section. I insist that Galician Confederation needs to be called "Галицька Конфедерацiя". I am from Ukraine. More, I think that there's no need to involve any prsent-day non-Doomsday politics. I've changed Yatseniuk to generic Western Ukrainian name. Thank you for your interest in Ukraine.

Don Republic and Kuban People's Republic
Hi thank you for solving the republics problems, I already fixed them, with Sochi, Rostov-on-Don and towns like Taganrod were nuked with Tangarod destroyed by the Tsunami. VENEZUELA 21:01, June 8, 2010 (UTC)

I research and the only things I find were Taganrod, Sochi, and Rostov on Don, and I nuked them, and if there is any other zone, please just add them. VENEZUELA 17:02, June 27, 2010 (UTC) and I'm gonna change the map.

ok I promise it! VENEZUELA 21:34, June 27, 2010 (UTC)

Hi Lordganon, Arstapool is turning this articles in obsolete because your comment of the map, Please can you create the map? Please? VENEZUELA 00:40, June 29, 2010 (UTC)

Hi I already do the map what do you think?

Thanks for helping me in the articles and giving me the reason in the Caucasus, there are even countries near New York, why couldn't be countries in the Caucasus. Really thank you a lot!!!!!!! VENEZUELA

Yes of course you can. VENEZUELA 22:29, July 1, 2010 (UTC)

Ok, If you want quit any objection to graduation in the talk page.VENEZUELA 17:46, July 2, 2010 (UTC)

I love how you change it only that I would like if you might put the cossack photo were it was originally because the article with the photo were you put seems strange. VENEZUELA 20:42, July 3, 2010 (UTC)

Ok! VENEZUELA 15:19, July 13, 2010 (UTC)

Join Rheinland Federation/Waldeck operation
A posible reason for the set lines on the map would be if the two nations co-operated in removing the army units, Waldeck would have taken the more populous areas less affected by radiation while the Federation got claims on the iradiated areas for future use. I was wondering what your thoughts on this are?Vegas adict 19:03, June 20, 2010 (UTC)

What you have to understand is that controling and area and saying you control it is totaly diferent, It seems to me your largest problem is with the size of the state so i'l change that, Other than that do you have any problems?.Obviously though i will respect your wishes although i do belive some sort of diplomatic contact would exist between the two nations as they are relatively close together.Vegas adict 17:05, June 22, 2010 (UTC)

Central World
Hi Lorganon, might you create articles for Central World and give your opinion! I'm trying to turn it into a community project! Please Answer me. VENEZUELA 23:02, July 15, 2010 (UTC) Please Answer me...

Audrey Hepburn
Ganon, I want to compliment you on the excellent job you did in revising the article on Ms. Hepburn. I don't know if you ran it by Ven, but I'm sure he will be delighted with the changes. I especially liked the way you converted her UNICEF work to "local" relief around the Mediterranean Sea. Though that would mean no visit to Ven's home country, it honors her real world contributions there and elsewhere in the world.

I noticed, one small thing, though. In the paragraph about the support for AHICEF, you left in the contributions of nations around the world. It is doubtful that such nations would even KNOW of her work, much less contribute to it. I am sure this is an oversight in the revision. It would not distract from the effectiveness of the article to restrict the financial contributions to the Mediterranean world.

Again, excellent work. SouthWriter 15:29, July 24, 2010 (UTC)

Adygea and Chechnia
Hi Lordganon I just want to ask you might you create an article about Adygea, but a bigger one covering from Adygea to Kabardino-Balkaria and divided in 3 republics (the 3 of Russia) and if you can really change and create a better Chechnya article because the one that exist is horrible. Also thanks for what you have done to my articles, now they might be canon, and also just for you to know i'm going to do at some moment between July and September the articles about Chuvasia, Mordovia, Mari El. and Tatarastan. VENEZUELA 16:48, July 26, 2010 (UTC)

Also I take Venezuela WCRB Command, and I let free the one of the Caucasus you should take it. VENEZUELA 02:29, July 28, 2010 (UTC)

Georgia
Hi Lordganon I received this message from Arstarpool.

''As the caretaker of Georgia, you do not have my permission to have a LoN command there. I kicked you out of the Georgia article, anyways. Arstarpool 01:51, July 28, 2010 (UTC)''

So I decided to delete all that I added to Georgia and what I asked Vladivostok to add (Economy and Military) and created a new article: Republic of Georgia.

so please feel free to edit it. VENEZUELA 04:07, July 29, 2010 (UTC)

Ven, that is VANALISM. You can be banned for vandalism.

Creating a duplicate article, even if it is a little different is considered spamming and can also get you BANNED. Arstarpool 04:38, July 29, 2010 (UTC)

Knew I shouldn't have done that command thing. Jeez. Still haven't seen anywhere you actually said that you kicked him out (besides that) Arstar, but w/e.

Ven, that was wrong. But, Arstar, you are not helping - you aren't the god of this place, though its starting to seem like you think you are.

Now, as to the articles - they both are horrid abominations. Have you actually READ the things? Besides the horrid look and coding of the things, they also read like a blasted copy from wikipedia.

Seriously.

Lordganon 12:59, July 29, 2010 (UTC)

The message in which I kicked him out was posted on Vens talk page. In Spanish.

Let me tell you how Ven became the self-proclaimed "Causcaus Expert"...

Long ago, or like two months ago, I adopted the Georgia article from Fedelede. I then marked it in on my talk page as "Adopted Pages". Ven's elementary english howver could not tell the difference from "Open for adoption" and "Adopted" and asked to adopt it. In order to not look like a shit-head, I agreed to let him work on it, although he did several changes involving the "Balkanization" and purging all of Fede's original work that I was not happy about.

Thinking it was a success, Venezuela went and made himself the "Causcaus Expert". He made the causcaus, a heavily targeted region into a teeming pool of life that is heavily unrealistic. He got this idea that if "The USA had like 50 nations, why can't Russia?". The one thing he hasn't realized is that Russia was targeted in almost every possible target. That's why Siberia is the only large surviving nation in Russia. However, since Ven wanted a nation for every minority group in Russia, he does not understand the amount of WORK it is to build a nation. Yet since he seems to feel "bad" for every minority group that doesn't get a nation, he only wants what he wants.

Seeing that the page was never going to get graduated I expelled Ven from the project, hoping that I could fix it up a bit for graduated. You have to admit, it does look SLIGHTLY better now.

An Alliance You Say?
Hey, Lordganon
 * I just came out out of hibernation recently and now with talks between two people calling for the complete dismemberment of the Federation of Greece, I'm starting to get a bit worried. Would any of your nations- such as Georgia, the Don Republic (I don't think the Kuban People's Republic would like Greece very much), and Transylvania-be willing to ally, trade, and have all-around friendly relations with the Federation of Greece? Awhile back I always pictured Transyvlania to be on good-relations with Greece, though that was never official I don't think, I'd also if possible to culminate good relations with Georgia as well. I'd ask about Rhodope, but the encounter between Rhodope and Greece seemed a bit, shall we say "awkward" in that it's not so much that Greece wouldn't want relations with Rhodope, but Rhodope not wanting good relations with Greece, although I'm certainly open to it. If Greece and Rhodope get friendly and ally, I think Vidin would definitely want no part of Greece, although I can't see why they'd want to ally with Greece even if Greece has no interactions with Rhodope. Finally, I hope the shared religion between both Greece, and Georgia, and the various Caucasian-Republics, and Rhodope might help to ease relations and an eventual alliance between any of the states. EDIT: Oh it seems that Rhodope and Greece have traded with each other in the past, and Vidin tried to attack a Greek embassy-seems the decision on who to support just became easier :).

Mr.Xeight 01:44, August 19, 2010 (UTC)

I'd first like to point out that I mistakenly said "culminate" when I meant "cultivate"; how embarrassing :)
 * Anyway, I'm glad that I can count Georgia, Transylvania, and Rhodope as my allies; I'm surely going to need them! Perhaps were could form a Black Sea Alliance for those four nations? I'm sorry, I didn't see what the caretaker of Turkey was doing that would need my attention, and rather embarrassingly I need your assistance to point it out; but it would probably be best for you to know that the caretakers of Turkey and Skopia are plotting my demise and probably hate me as a person, not only the nation I tend to, so I've stopped caring about what they do. Finally, YES, I would love for you to become a co-caretaker of the Federation; my time at 1983:Doomsday is wearing thin and I'm looking for all the help I can get to actually write out articles and such for the Federation. If you would, I'd be most appreciative if you contact BoredMatt, Oerwinde, and Venezuela that you're going to be joining them in their quest to expand Greece. If you like war, I'd like to beg you to expand on the Second Sicily War; I hardly wrote anything on it except for that Greece and Austria on November 27th, 2009 absolutely pounded Sicily, so I'm sure they're about ready to surrender. If you could also tell the community that Greece is a major power in the war, as I feel that people have forgotten that the Federation is involved and only focus on the Alpine State and the various Italian Rebels; that hurts my feelings a bit, you know. ;)
 * School slammed me with homework on my first day today, so I'll be here much, much less than even a week ago. I probably won't even be able to write on the religious aspects of the Federation and how the the two Patriarchates of Alexandria have come back together, and that's the easiest article to write of them all! It's a shame I might have to leave because of homework, huh?

Mr.Xeight 23:16, August 19, 2010 (UTC)

Well Rhodope can be a part of both the Black Sea Union and ADC with no problem-afterall, Greece'll be part of both. I take issue to all of Turkey and Macedonias' articles, I just don't feel like saying anything because I'll get an earfull I barely care about. Oh and as for the war, Caerueleus or whatever his name is will oppose anything doing to Greece but has no room to talk about plausibility when he wrote the Sultanate of Turkey, so by all means please begin work on the War. Do you have an approximate end time for the War? I thought 2012, but of course I'm like you, I care more for trade (you and I will get along great I think :D)and colonisation than war itself, so I have no idea what I'm talking about. The only thing I ask is that you keep "Black Friday" because it's a reference to the American Black Friday where everyone buys anything they can possibly hold the day after American Thanksgiving, I thought it was rather clever at the time! :D Anyway, again thank you for helping me with the Federation, and you're a godsend. Mr.Xeight 03:49, August 21, 2010 (UTC)

Oh, Xeight, as one of the caretakers of Georgia you have the support of the Federation of Georgia to Greece. Arstarpool 23:46, August 21, 2010 (UTC)

Well, old friend, it seems that people seem to hear what they want, and I just got a major bitch-fest for trying to make relations with Macedonia/Skopia. Turkey'll probably declare war- Macedonia might, too. Since this is my fault, I think I'm going to have to apologize to all of my fellow caretakers. Mr.Xeight 22:02, August 25, 2010 (UTC)

Italy Page
I have a strange favor to ask of you, could you do what you did with the Bulgaria page for the Italy page? If you can, place the map on the talk page on the Italy page and write a brief summary of the nations, except for New Rome, which I have to revamp very soon if it is to stay in canon. I'm sorry to be a drag but I am currently editing and writing on a very restricted timeframe. Arstarpool 23:46, August 21, 2010 (UTC)

PS, I see that your current userpicture is that of a little Ganon, is it not? Arstarpool 23:46, August 21, 2010 (UTC) I dont have a problem with you adopting Malta, but make surr it conforms with the scant information related to Malta on the Malta Lampuesada Corridor article. Arstarpool 18:11, August 24, 2010 (UTC)

Confederacy & Belarus
Well, I actually added that small passage regarding the Belarus and the RC. I wasn't really thinking about anything long term, but surely they have a lot in common: Both are survivor communities in the ex-Soviet Union, trying to survive against an aggressive neighbour slowly, but surely, coming to take what they perceive as their rightful territory. I'd say a friendly relationship with frequent trade would commence, don't you?--Vladivostok 09:14, August 28, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oh, of course not, the thought of Belarus joining never really crossed my mind. Although they would probably be asked if they would like to join, though. The same would most likely happen for the Caucasian states immediately in the vicinity of the RC's borders. I'm glad that you approve all in all, and we will be sure to add new content in the future, as soon as Vegas gets back from his holiday. Well expand on everything now that the article is canon. And the whole line about Greece and Prussia was made by Vegas, but would seem perfectly logical. The RC has the bad luck to basicaly be on the frontline of Siberian aggression and is desperate to have some political clout, thus it is turning to every possible country for help.--Vladivostok 09:46, August 28, 2010 (UTC)

Greece
So since MrX gave us control over Greece I was hoping you could look over my latest additions and maybe make some additions to the province articles. I'm doing a basic history of greece on the Federation page, but figured the more detailed regional history would go on the provincial ones.Oerwinde 07:56, August 29, 2010 (UTC)

Sure divvying them up sounds good. As you saw I was already working on Cyprus. I started some basic articles, and made some flags for Agion Oros, Cyrenaica, Morea, and Egypt. Though I don't know dick about Orthodoxy so we might need to tap MrX for Agion Oros.Oerwinde 08:16, August 29, 2010 (UTC)

Sure. Greek Egypt is going to be difficult.Oerwinde 08:36, August 29, 2010 (UTC)

Well my idea for Egypt is going to be dependent on a LOT of people migrating to the lands along the Eonile or dying. Since otherwise theres no way a greek egyptian state could realisticly exist, as the area included in the state has an OTL population of like 18-20 million. I'm hoping I can get away with a coptic majority state.Oerwinde 09:08, August 29, 2010 (UTC)

Mercenaries
Do you think any of the warring states on the eastern Black Sea in 1983: Doomsday would require or want the use of mercenaries? States of any size, any government, it does not matter.--Emperor of Trebizond 01:34, August 30, 2010 (UTC)

Holy Mountain
With your, Xeights, and Oers permission can I work on Agion Oros aka Holy Mountain? Arstarpool 04:28, August 30, 2010 (UTC)

Turkey
So, why do you think the Sultanate of Turkey (1983: Doomsday) is too large? Caeruleus 01:36, September 1, 2010 (UTC)


 * You know, it's difficult to work these kind of things out when you don't respond :( Caeruleus 14:43, September 4, 2010 (UTC)

Since you were the only one who bothered to continue commenting, despite my repeated WoTs, would you like the honor of graduating my Sultanate of Turkey article? Caeruleus 01:10, October 10, 2010 (UTC)

Duchy of Lancaster
I notice that you've added a couple of things to the article for Lancaster. Although I don't have a major problem with it, given that it's my article I'd appreciate it if in future you asked first, since while feedback is greatly apprecicated (thanks for that by the way), I'd like it to be my own work as much as possible.Tessitore 12:33, September 4, 2010 (UTC)

Fair enough. Speaking of the nation-box, I don't suppose you could tell me how to add the flag and coat of arms. I've had a few attempts but they've all gone wonky, probably because I'm rubbish at code.82.25.224.63 18:54, September 4, 2010 (UTC)

Have done so, although for some reason every time I try to add the Head of State or Head of Government (I've just got the title at the moment) things go wonky.Tessitore 01:20, September 5, 2010 (UTC)

Dig This
Owen wants to become part of the TSPTF since he nominated Smoggy after he just stated above he did not do it to earn respect in order to increase his standing. Go to Louisiannan's talk page and see the madness. Since you seem to be fighting with him I think you of all people should take a look. Arstarpool 23:42, September 9, 2010 (UTC)

Just edit it all if you want. BlackSkyEmpire 12:57, September 11, 2010 (UTC)BlackSkyEmpire

Actually I check the history, he was not the one to add the adoption template. Thus he has a right to adopt the article if he so chooses. Mitro 17:05, September 15, 2010 (UTC)

The Patriarch
This is something that's confusing; in fact I didn't really understand until I was about 14. Basically the Patriarch is a bishop, but not "just" a bishop. He's given the most respect of all the bishops, but has no more power to do anything except for given the seat of honour at a synod-where various issues are decided and such; those are the most powerful man-mad things of the church. Mr.Xeight 23:28, September 15, 2010 (UTC)

First among equals-definitely. I would say that the rest of the bishops would take his word into account a little bit more than usual, but not always. For instance, there was a Patriarch in the 1500s who wanted to reform the Church along more Protestant lines-and every bishop shot him down. One Patriarch, in order to save the Eastern Roman Empire by securing help, decided to hand power of the Patriarchate over to the Bishop of Rome-all but one bishop of the Patriarchate agreed, but because the decision has to be unanimous the unification was cancelled. The Patriarch's name is usually taken off the list of Patriarchs for his "betrayal", whereas the Bishop that literally saved the Church is considered by some to be an unofficial saint. So, it widely depends on the issue-at-hand. Mr.Xeight 23:45, September 15, 2010 (UTC)

Glad you asked. We elect our patriarchs using the synod, which as you know is the most powerful "figure" in Orthodoxy of man (I know that's an awkwardly phrased sentence, but of course the Trinity is the head of the church, and then the synods are how things get done here on Earth). Now I think because Doomsday basically destroyed the Patriarchate, Athens, and Thessaloniki and completely changed Orthodoxy forever as many bishops as possible might be the number needed to elect a new Patriarch. So it'd be year before a synod could be mustered-scouts would have to go across Greece and Turkey to find bishops from the Ecumenical Patriarchate-likewise, the Patriarchs in Damascus, Jerusalem, and Alexandria. Hey, maybe one of the reasons the Greeks went down to Egypt was to see how the Patriarch in Alexandria was holding up. I'd say maybe 10 years after DD to select a Patriarch at most, at least 3-5 years. Mr.Xeight 02:46, September 16, 2010 (UTC)

Sorry, I don't see the rest of your questions, would you mind resending them to me on my talk page? Mr.Xeight 02:04, September 22, 2010 (UTC)

Oh, my message from September 16th was my answer (not the quote above, but the quote above that one). Mr.Xeight 03:05, September 23, 2010 (UTC)

Hi LG, I raed you're an expert on many countries so would you like to create some Central World articles or finishing the Canada one? please answer me, and I already answer the Texas problem in the talk page. VENEZUELA 03:03, September 16, 2010 (UTC)

Thank You! and i have just the idea of museums, greek like skycrapers and things like that. Although what you think about USA turning Caribbean and Central American countries into associated states VENEZUELA 03:45, September 16, 2010 (UTC)

Also it's that because of the same cause the USA use the Monroe Doctrine in CW and establish dictatorships? maybe it could be some kind of commonwealth being sovereign states but associated with America. VENEZUELA 04:02, September 16, 2010 (UTC)

Re: Yukon
Sure, I have no problem there. I want to say that my ideas for the "feel" of the Yukon are very specific. The South Americans claimed they are not a "real country" and in many ways they're right. The Yukon is a frontier wilderness where most people live as villagers and nomads and the government, such as it is, is mostly a forum for bringing the different communities together. I wanted to explore how the forms of Canadianness would evolve in a place where civil society sort of dissolves peacefully rather than ends catastrophically. (Though there was indeed plenty of catastrophe in the 1980s.) I also left the Yukon in the middle of a news storyline: there is still a question whether or not they will recognize the House of Windsor monarchy. I don't want that story to progress too fast - things move slowly in the Yukon. But if you want to develop it further, I'm fine with that if the spirit of what's already written is upheld.

Question
Hello, I am a new user to this site, and recently inquired about potential collaborators on the main page discussion thing. I was then pointed to the experts page, which led me to you. Looking at your page, you look like you have plenty of projects on your hand, so I understand completely if you cannot respond to this or help. My timeline is about an alternate America, and is very centered on the development of this alternate America. But, I would like to flesh out the rest of the world. The only thing I've established about the rest of the world is that Napoleon beat the British in Europe (No betrayal of the Spanish is the mini-POD for that). But, after that, I am at a bit of a loss as to what would have happened. How would Europe have developed after the Napoleonic Wars, with half of Europe under French control? Would the hegemony eventually be broken? And, to be a bit more specific: Would France try to regain French Guyana? Leave it to the Americans? Would it be reasonable for the Americans to demand Britain give independence to their area of the Guyanas (pr to hand it over to America)? Wow, that was quite a rant. Sorry about that. Get back to me if you can. Thanks! Randomideaguy 23:38, October 3, 2010 (UTC)

Nomination
Hey LG. I've nominated you to become our next constable, and you can see how I weighed out your goods and your bads on the Request for User Rights page. If you would like to become a member of the TSPTF respond and the rest of us will go through the nomination and see if we'll accept you or not. If you would prefer to stay-as-you-are right now, thats fine, its your decision. But I feel that you are one of the people who would do a great job on the TSPTF. So respond when you can, Arstar 20:04, October 8, 2010 (UTC)

Well? Do you want to go through with it or not? Well at the current moment we have lots of Leutenients and not so many constables, and you have expressed good work ethic on your articles and have removed a few nonsensical edits from pages and you have a good reputation to top it off so you were the first that came to mind. Should you accept the nomination we will wait to see what happens on October 11th, 2010 (when you'll be officially eligible) and if you have a 2/3 majority vote you will ascend to the TSPTF whenever a Leutenient or Bureaucrat/Brass officially gives you rollback rights.

PS, If it comes to a shock that I nominate you, I want you to know that I follow a mental policy. I separate my work from the personal chit-chat. Chit-chat can get me in trouble with others, but I take work seriously. You, have a bit of a temper at times as do I (my main concern is that if you get into a fight you'll fly off the wall and end up banning someone) but you're still a good editor and it wouldn't hurt to have an extra Constable. Arstar 07:46, October 9, 2010 (UTC)

Yukon and Northwest Territories: revisit?
Hey, Ganon. I've recently been thinking about our pages for the Yukon and NT We both assumed that neither place had any kind of nuclear attacks. But I'm concerned that I didn't look at the full range of potential targets. In particular, the Canadian Forces Northern Area (now the Joint Task Force North) has a base 24 km south of Whitehorse. It seems rather unimportant, but it is Canada's closest base to Russia and if the USSR was thinking about a land invasion, it may have thought it advisable to just get it out of the way. A more important base is at Yellowknife, NT. It was the headquarters for the entire Northern Area and was established in 1970 "with a view to treating the North as a single theatre of operations" (from JTFN's website).

Then there's the DEW line, the line of radar stations stretching along the Arctic coast, and Station Alert on Ellesmere. These stations were highly strategic and are likely targets, though they were remote enough that they probably would not affect our histories too much if we added a mention. There were DEW stations in Iceland and the Faeroes, too, which could potentially affect the history of the Nordic Union.

In Yukon, if the CFNA base were hit, the city of Whitehorse would probably not be destroyed, but would probably have to be abandoned due to radiation. I think I could accomodate that all right: it would mean that the famine in the 80s would be even worse, and technology would drop to even lower levels. At Yellowknife, however, the base is right in the middle of town and would disrupt your history more seriously if it were hit. Or maybe not... it largely parallels Yukon's in many ways, like the dispersal of city dwellers to smaller settlements. The biggest problem, though, would be the power vacuum created by a direct hit on the capital.

What do you think? Does the CFNA warrant changes to our histories? Or is it too small to be important? I know what an extremist I usually am on issues of canon, but in this case I feel like it was a huge oversight on my part. I totally failed to consider the strategic importance of the entire Canadian Arctic, an enormous area situated right between the USSR and USA. Benkarnell 14:12, October 15, 2010 (UTC)


 * No, I know there was no "need" to hit some of these targets, but really there was no need to do the whole war. The thinking of the nuclear strategists was to hit anything that might conceivably be of use.  My thinking is that these bases and coordinating stations were Canada's main presence in the Arcic, militarily.  Take them down, and Canada loses its ability to enforce its sovereignty there.  ...Would be the Soviets' thinking.  OK.  I'll think about this, but I really don't think they would leave the entire Arctic untouched.  And the obvious targets are Alert and the two territorial capitals.  Benkarnell 14:43, October 15, 2010 (UTC)


 * All right, that will have to suffice for an explanation. I'm still not totally convinced (worst-case scenario, and all that), but your argument has the force of QSS behind it, and that will have to do.  I do think Station Alert is a clear target - it was just a listening post, but one that was important to detecting ICBMs and therefore part of the NATO bloc's overall ability to strategically respond.  ... I'd still like others to weigh in, though. Benkarnell 19:53, October 15, 2010 (UTC)

Templates
I see. To tell you the truth I switched to the old version where the templates apparently still look good. I'm going to switch to the new version and see what the templates look like. Mitro 14:17, October 20, 2010 (UTC)
 * You are right, it does look bad. However I have seen the templates look that way at random times using the old skins.  Sometimes templates get warped because of issues with Wikia.  Do me a favor, hold off for at least 24 hours and if the templates still look like that maybe we can edit the template code to improve the look.  Mitro 14:21, October 20, 2010 (UTC)

Congratulations
Congratulations, you are now a Constable in the TSPTF. This allows you to showcase the TSPTF membership badge on your user page. Furthermore it gives you the rollback power on this wiki. In the History page of an article you will notice a new option called "rollback". This is an anti-vandalism tool. It allows you to quickly undo edits in case someone has made more than one edit to a page. By clicking rollback it will immediately revert the article to a time before the offending editor edited the page. This is your most important duty. By agreeing to be a constable, you are promising to do your best to patrol for vandals and trolls.

When you get the chance, please go to the TSPTF page, and sign up for some responsibilities. In reality, none of us have the time to devote to all of the duties that are expected of an administrator of the wiki. You are expected, however, to sign up for at least three responsibilities listed in that section. These are duties that you are agreeing to carry out to the best of your ability every time you are on this wiki. I'm hoping that by doing this the members of the TSPTF can efficiently share the work load of the wiki and gives us time for the real reason we are here. Since you are only a constable and do not have the power to delete or block, do not feel obligated to sign up for any duties you do not have the powers to do.

Again, congratulations on being elected to the TSPTF and good luck. Mitro 14:09, October 22, 2010 (UTC)

I would be honored. --XterrorX 01:36, October 28, 2010 (UTC)

Dodecanese Flag
That cross in the flag, it isn't the cross of the Knights of Rhodes, is it? If it is, I have to storngly suggest we make a new flag; it'd be like innocent Iraqi farmers adopting the American flag or the flag of the Taliban. If it's not, kindly disregard this and my apologies. Mr.Xeight 22:36, November 2, 2010 (UTC)

Uh oh. Perhaps we could find a new image for the flag? The concept of the Collosus on the flag was good, it can have a positive meaning behind why it was chosen, all of which can be made up and not really disputed (except by a certain person who I will not name ;) ).
 * Oh and as for Synods, I believe (and I stress that) it's almost like jury duty-you don't leave until there's a unanimous decision amongst all bishops who made their decision based upon Scripture. I mean I've looked into a few cases where one bishop has caused a whole event from going into affect (Council of Florence for one), so that's what I suspect. I can always email my Metropolitan-Bishop and ask if you'd like.

Mr.Xeight 02:02, November 3, 2010 (UTC)

Clarify Please
What is your issue with my update to the NewsHour? Caeruleus

Since you have not responded to my inquiry after 24 hours and are not allowed to unilaterally remove another editor's post to a public page without reason, I have reposted my update to the NewsHour. If you have an issue with it, bring it up on the Talk page and we'll discuss it like everyone else. Caeruleus 22:47, November 12, 2010 (UTC)

Synod
Oh that I can answer-no, bishops of other Churches (the Moscow, Jerusalem, Antioch, Alexandria, etc) do not get involved in the election of bishops not within their own Patriarch. For instance, the Church of Russia will not be letting Bulgarian, Serbian, or Greeks-of-Antioch Bishops vote in the election of Bishops. Now, unfortunately in like 1833 the Church of Greece "broke" from the Church of Constantinople (they made an archbishopric, they did not split from the Orthodox-Christian Church) and since then OTL Greece is broken up into the jurisdictions of four bishops; Northern Greece is subject to the Bishop (Patriarch) in Constantinople, Southern Greece to the Bishop (Archbishop of Athens), the island of Crete and the Holy Mountain have their jurisdiction (which entails having bishops) but are actually under the jurisdiction of the Patriarch in Constantinople. Now you might think having two jurisdictions that divide Greece might make it easier to elect bishops-well yes and no. The Church of Greece, since it only has Southern-Greece as its jurisdiction, will have less time tracking down any surviving bishops and having them elect bishops to the offices of any bishoprics that lost their bishops due to DD. However, the Patriarch of Constantinople has the whole archdioceses of North and South America (of which I belong). So the CoC (that's how I'll abbreviate "Church of Constantinople" for now on, I'm getting lazy) will still be responsible for the bishops in the Americas. I think, because of the circumstances of DD, the CoC will just use the bishops it can find, and likewise the Archbishoprics in the Americas will do the same. A lot of nations that actually have Orthodox-churches in South America usually just have one church in literally the whole nation (Colombia, Chile, Brazil), so they probably won't have to worry about anything.


 * Also, great job on the Thrace Reclamation Zone; I really liked the including about the Japanese merchant and especially the ethnice map. Both caused me to think of two new ideas. One, Greek ships go up north into the Black Sea and look for any refugees in Russia, the Ukraine, the Crimea, Moldova, and Romania that are Orthodox and ask them to settle Thrace, so long as they learn Greek and practice their religion. Their children are put in Greek-schools and the refugees are now under the jurisdiction of the Greek Orthodox Church and voila, technical Greeks. Two-the Japanese merchant gave me an idea of Greece marketing Constantinople as a new business hotspot-they can get Europe into a "Let's rebuild Rome together" marketing and send ambassadors to other farflung countries to spread the word, too. This'll have another affect; if the plan works, obviously there'll be a huge amount of foreign-nationals in the city. If Turkey were to invade, then dozens, if not hundreds or thousands of people would be killed/injured, and when the nations hear word that the Turkish army just killed their citizens, dozens of nations will declare war and support Greece and Rhodope in any conflict. So, if we show the world the Queen of Cities is where they want to do business and is once again their access to the East, it's a win-win situation.

Naming
Lordganon I will try to add the category name to the end of the title, but I have a question. When trying to create a hyperlink to a page how can you do it without having to add the tag of (category).

ie: The country of [Crete (Divided Italy)] was created in ####.

How do you do it so that it is not like that and more like this.

ie: The country of [Crete] was created in ####.

the Message
Thanks for the distant early warning, but i was defending my right i did not mean to call any one a facist, i was not trying to start a conflict

Synod and the Sicilian War
Oh it's quite alright, I mean it took me like a month to respond back to you, sorry about that!
 * I'm always a bit pessimistic when it comes to DD, so I was thinking the 1990s, but it widely depends on how long it would take for the New World to regain contact with the old. Do any articles mention when the first European ships got to the Americas, or American ships to Europe? Oh you were talking about Patriarchs, whoops. Yeah, the late '80s sounds about right. Perhaps a few German, Iberian, or Celtic merchants might want to do business there? The Crimeans, Bulgarian, Ukrainians, and Russians need to sell their grain (that whole region's called the Breadbasket of Europe) and Western Europe and Greece seem like they'd be their best customers, so they might be eager about western business there, too. Thanks for offering to help with the war, I mean I'm trying to phase myself out of the wiki, and you and Oer I think are the perfect guys to phase me out. Ya'll're a dynamic duo, I tip my cap to you, sir. Oh, and Oer had that nice write out, I'm thinking about posting part of it and adding a little bit each few weeks or months until 2012 when the war's over. And please, please, please, a few people around here seem to bloody think that Sicily's going to get off scott-free. Greece and Europe itself will not let Sicily off the hook without relinquishing Tunisia to be made into an independent republic. Sure, they might let them retain their Continental possessions, but Greece wants and has already long seized Malta (everyone keeps forgetting that, Greece took Malta like the first week of the war!) and the Arabs probably don't even like the Sicilians anyway. Plus, southern Italy is quite a bit poorer and definitely more-agricultural centred and they have no trading partners, so I don't get why everyone's like "X8 (even though I have a title...) the Sisileeans are fashists and have wurked to militareyes, they can kick Grease's butt!". Greece is at the crossroads of Africa and Europe and has trading powers, no, just... no...

If you think I'm overplaying the difference in wealth and industry between the two halves of Italy, some within Northern Italy are sick of the poorer and agricultural south and want to form their own richer, industrial-minded state, so it's got to be serious enough for some Italians to harbour a seed of discontent. Mr.Xeight 03:29, November 25, 2010 (UTC)

This war is starting too piss me off and I've seriously been contemplating retconning it out of existence. I say we cut the war short now and have the final-negotiations on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day. The regime of Sicily gets swapped out for ADC-and-democracy-loving politicians, rhose Italian-states that want their freedom get their freedom, Greece keeps Malta and gets a piece of OTL Apulia, and Tunisia gets made into a very democratic-republic and the ADC stays in OTL Tunisia, Sicily, and Naples for awhile to make sure the process of democratisation is going smoothly. I should've done this months ago! Oh, and I mentioned a year ago the Alpinians moved into North Italy, so they'll be wanting a slice of Italy as well. Mr.Xeight 04:04, November 26, 2010 (UTC)

Hey, Hey, Hey, Greece keeping ? Since when did they even get Malta? There's been two articles out for a while now that state Malta's under LoN supervision but other than that it's still independent. Arstar 04:51, November 26, 2010 (UTC)

I don't think the Sicilian regime will change. One thing I agree with Cereuleus on is that Sicily is too powerful to get totally smacked down. They will survive, though with borders similar to what I posted on the talk page. Sicily won't surrender, they will weigh the pros and cons of continuing the war, and the costs of continuing will be too high for the business minded Sicilians and they will negotiate a peace. The losses they suffer will likely change their outlook however and they will want to establish outside trade as its better for economic growth.Oerwinde 09:11, November 26, 2010 (UTC)

With Constantinople in "Greek" (along with Bulgarian and maybe Turkish is someone cleans up their act) hands, the Church of Greece being absorbed back into the Patriarchate, but for that to happen you'd need to downgrade the Archbishop and Metropolitan to Bishops, which seems like a slap in the face. But, you can chalk that up to the spirit of unity and harkening back to the Church's ancient roots and how it wasa comfort for the downtrodden and say any surviving metropolitans and bishops do relinquish their power; the Archbishop himself would have passed on in the attack on Athens.

Perhaps the Ukrainian company's mascot can be Buzz Light year ;). Sorry, "to Thrace, and beyond!" automatically reminded me of my childhood :D.

As much as usually don't like putting humans and animals on flags, the Greek Islanders usually do; perhaps a famous figure or the Collosus. Hell, out of any scrap-metal they could buy off Athenians or Cretans they can make like a ten-ft tall Collosus and put it in front of the president's office.

He just can't stay out of our business can he? Lord have mussy I'm this close to getting grey hair and an ulser from him. Now, obviously you can't see me, but I was demonstrating a very small amount with my fingers just now :D.

Also, thanks for letting the Spanish and Riffians do their part with Tunisia since we Greeks have our hands full trying to pick a monarch, but do you mind if that garrison on Malta is joint Greco-Spanish? You, just in case Sicily tries any funny-business again :D. Also, I don't get why people think Sicily is so business-like; they have absolutely no trading partners, not something you think businessmen running a country would do to themselves... And again, thank you; if youhave the time do you think you could upload your plan to the page? I give you full permission and I beg you to as well before Caeruleus gets his way and it's a Greek defeat! Mr.Xeight 16:42, November 27, 2010 (UTC)

Xeight, I've said this a bunch of times, that Malta is not under Greek control. Thats been canon for about two years that its been under LoN occupation, but other than that is sovereign as the Republic of Malta. Arstar 17:42, November 27, 2010 (UTC)

Just because they have few trading partners doesn't mean they're not businesslike. They're focused on self sufficiency and re-industrialization. Basically the pre-ww2 american view.Oerwinde 22:52, November 27, 2010 (UTC)

Greece and Serbia
Actually, buddy, Greece and Serbia were rather-friendly in the 1900s; there was a Greek-volunteer brigade who fought for the Serbs, and Greece was the only country in NATO to not decry Serbia as evil. They're governments a lot closer than you think, although the people may not be (although if you read the comments of any Greek video on Youtube you'll always find at least 7 "Long Live Greece, Greeting from Serbia :D" (or some messages of that basic format) comments, but the love definitely is not 100% mutual. And let's face it, they're the only country in the Balkans, most ironically, that isn't evil in the TL; you've got the Skopians, the Turks, and Sicilians. Mr.Xeight 01:13, December 5, 2010 (UTC)

Oh Lordy, Mr. Ganon, the Axis was just formed; seems we might want to rethink our relations with Serbia, afterall. Mr.Xeight 00:30, December 14, 2010 (UTC)

Oh, I forgot to tell you where that came from; it came from Owner trying to pin something on me, something about how I said that Serbia and Greece are best-buds. I guess that isn't the case anymore ;). I have to say, I did forget about the Black Sea League-probably because I'm so used to a Greece without a Black Sea Coast :D. Who's in it again: Greece, Rhodope, Georgia, Crimea, some Russian states, others? Finally, are you the caretaker of Bosnia? I just came up for an idea of a reformed Bosnian-Church in Serb-held Bosnia. Basically it'd be an amalgamation of Orthodox-Christianity (my strong suit, as you know, one of the few topics I can discuss with certainty) and Islam. It'd probably have a small-following in the present-day, mind you, but the Serbian-Government might actually prefer it over real Islam. I think in terms of liturgy it'd be identical to any Orth.Chris. liturgy, but customs like prayer five-times-o'-day, accepting Muhammed as a great man (maybe not a full-blown prophet, we'll see), not abstination from pork or any animals however (we Orthodox Christians believe nothing that God created is unclean or evil, so we can eat anything-it has nothing to do with perceived laziness), maybe abstination from alcohol (although I don't see why not, the Apostles drank, and the Church Fathers all agreed a glass a wine after work everyday is good for a man, perhaps a culture more bent on discouraging over-drinking), fasting during Ramadan purely for astheticism, and having a big celebration after Eid. Now combine all of that with Orthodox-Christianity and you'd have my proposed Bosnian Church. The Government might even encourage it almost as a way to get them into Orthodox Christianity, you know, a bridge or sorts or to "ween" them off Islam, or just let them carry on Muslim-practices (albeit slightly altered, pretty much the ones above) in regular-Christianity. Mr.Xeight 22:25, December 15, 2010 (UTC)

I can't figure out how to edit the Albanian Talkpage because of these damnable changes, so if'n you don't mind, sir, I'd like to post this here -- the Greek settlements of OTL Albania are mostly along the coast, so the border proposed on the talk-page of Albania for Greece, at least how I pictured (I was an only child-I didn't lrn 2 shair yet, so please bear with me), would be more thinner and longer-- the proposed border is quite compact and chunky.
 * And is there any chance an Albanian member might join the Federal-Kingdom? I think the Albanian areas that are currently-held would be transferred out of Kerkyran hands and into the hands of the new Albanians, so any state might have a lot to gain. But then again Albania isn't know for its wealth-Greece might have a lot to lose letting in an Albanian republic as a seperate-entity.

Mr.Xeight 23:19, December 15, 2010 (UTC)

I'm terribly sorry I haven't responded to your letter yet. I have full intention to, but I'd prefer to do it over break when I have plenty of time since I have so much to say. And I read the War outline, and I cannot say this enough, you and Oerwinde can do no wrong. It's like you've taken my ideas right out of my head and hammered them into verbal works-of-art, it's not only creepy (kidding!), but brilliant! You have truly outdone yourself this time, my friend. I will not rush you by any means, but if you were to ask me, I would say it's ready to be put on the page, or at least your ideas are, not the rough-draft. I would warn against putting a preview in the discussion-page, a certain number of people (two of them *cough *cough) will not be happy and we'll be in a deadlock-I would suggest no longer taking opinions and just going for it. But then again, I'm a figurehead, I can only advise you ;). I'd like to ask if New Byzantium can be the meeting-place for the first convention held by the Black Sea League. Well, judging by how successful of a state the new Greece is, I can't imagine why any Albanian state would object, and they might Hellenise-missionaries from across Greece will no doubt bring their traditions with them. I'd like to see the Despot and his nephew get crushed in the primaries, so I'm all for it :D. Mihaloliakos' cult-of-personality might be taken down a peg, although he was never popular outside of the Moreos I'd venture to say, except among extreme right-wingers. I always pictured his nephew as more of the quiet-type, darker-skinned (oh the irony, he's non-Aryan complected!), and not so much manipulatable so much as not being vocal of his own thoughts-he's a great deal smarter than his cousin and nowhere near as racist, maybe not even at all: he's in charge of a majority-Arab state anyway, as you know. Everything else sounds great, especially the deaconesesses. I suppose I could write an article on the Synod that approves deaconesesses, or just put it on the religion page. Does the election of the Bishop of Rome in Brasil have its own page? And do you have any ideas for a potential-king? I mean while I might read Athens-News in English, I can't think of candidates off-hand that have survived Doomsday. Perhaps when Christmas-break commenses we could do our research? Or I could, you have plenty else to worry about-it's best I step out of any disputes with Caeruleus, you've seen how I speak when I'm perturbed! Mr.Xeight 00:41, December 16, 2010 (UTC)

Nuclear Apocalypse
why'd you change the alteration I made on the Nuclear Apocalypse page? Did you not like what I added?

~MichoRizzo

I should have really read the rules before I made those changes and I appologize. I actually just made an account today. Those changes were made spontainously because the content that was there was a little bland lacked fluidity. It was awkward to read because of how it was written. I had started out just proofreading it, but got a little carried away. Thanx for the suggestions, I'll be sure to follow the rules if I contribute in the future.

MichoRizzo 02:12, December 6, 2010 (UTC)

You hold a bachelor's degree in history? Perhaps you neglected your studies in English, grammar, and composition; this is indicated by how poorly your "Nuclear Apocalypse" article was written. I assumed English was not the primary language of the person who wrote this.

MichoRizzo 03:21, December 6, 2010 (UTC)

I assumed that since your name was under the title, you were the author. I really didn't mean for what I wrote to be insulting and if that's how you perceived it, I apologize. However, that was how I really felt as a reader of the article. I suppose I will have to be more careful with what I write. It's a shame that one has to self censor oneself as to not convey their true feelings or be at risk of having to "face the consequences" from a "member of management of this wiki."

As a brand new member, I am only beginning to be made aware of the rules. I will not make any changes to the content of anyone else's work from now on, as this is clearly against the rules. Hopefully, I will be given the opportunity to add to the fascinating content of this site. Alternative history is a subject in which I have recently become very interested.

MichoRizzo 03:55, December 6, 2010 (UTC)

Right, I see now how what I wrote can be taken as insulting. It's similar to how I felt when you wrote, quote: "You made edits to a timeline belonging to someone else (if that was even you) that dramatically changed it." Your "undertone" of doubt about my contribution (even if said contribution was a violation of the rules) was why I decided to share my true opinion about the original content of the article. So, instead of collective self censorship, perhaps we should all practice selective judement with what we write and how we treat people here. Thank you for your time and your guidance (which, as a new member, I really appreciate).

L.G. - if you have a minute....
Hello,

=) I was wondering if I can ask you a question, following this one.  IS what I did to the introduction of 1983: Doomsday an acceptable form of editing?  I really wouldn't call them changes, so much as alterations.  For instance, I used the word "incidentally" in place of the word "Consequently" at the beginning of the first sentence in paragraph five.  I also modified a few sentences slightly to enhance them, but did not change the overall content.  Moreover, I added my singnature at the end as follows:

Thank you for your response. I clicked the preference box for custom signature (which I have since deactivated), which is why that was happening. I'm actually not going to add or edit anything else here until I do A LOT more reading. I really should have done that before I did anything. I hate to make excuses, but it is only my fourth day or so as a member so I suppose it is to be expected. Thanx again.

News Page
While you may of made a mistake, you truely need to think before you act. Bloomington is in Kentucky hands, which is were Indiana University is based. Today the big game of Indiana vs Kentucky was held today- Kentucky winning. It is also Indiana Day, that day that Indiana was admited to the Union. I've put back my post.--Sunkist- 02:52, December 12, 2010 (UTC)

I'm sure you've been this insulting to me like this for awhile, golden rule. Well there is a school in Kentucky under this name, Bloomington. There IS.

"Indiana's 1816 constitution was the first in the country to implement a state-funded public school system. It also allotted one township for a public university. However, the plan turned out to be far too idealistic for a pioneer society, as tax money was not accessible for its organization. In the 1840s, Caleb Mills pressed the need for tax-supported schools, and in 1851 his advice was included in the new state constitution. Although the growth of the public school system was held up by legal entanglements, many public elementary schools were in use by 1870. Most children in Indiana attend public schools, but nearly 10% attend private schools and parochial schools. About one-half of all college students in Indiana are enrolled in state-supported four-year schools. The largest institution is Indiana University, which was endorsed as Indiana Seminary in 1820. Indiana State University was established as the state's Normal School in 1865; Purdue University was chartered as a land-grant college in

1869." Simply to work with Purdues history. Its a school in Southern Indiana, Bloomington. Which is under the control of Kentucky. I'm a big IU fan, trust me. :D--Sunkist- 04:45, December 12, 2010 (UTC)

Napoleon's World
On the Napoleon´s World topic: sorry, I don´t know about that, all my articles will have Napoleon´s world category.

ok sure, but why the ~ signs?

ok, just testing.

Hey man, since your the guy kind of showing me the ropes around here, I was wondering if you knew how I could sort of make a map (the kind with the green-filled lands, like wikipedia has). Cause right now I can only use what I find in the internet.

Thanks

Casquis 00:41, December 18, 2010 (UTC)

Hey, thanks for the advice, Im downloading GIMP right now, I have a mac so I dont get paint :(

Anyways, sorry about not putting on categories, those are just little details I forget.

Forgot to sign. Casquis 02:34, December 16, 2010 (UTC)

Hey, I want to make a subcategory for battles of WWI in my Napoleon's America category page, how can I do that?

Casquis 01:44, December 26, 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for the info, and Im trying to make the ATL look as good as I can :)

A wave of change in the Caucasus
Hi Lordganon, it's been a long time since we did our caucasus articles. Now that 2011 is coming and the USSR is preparing to reach Karelia I was thinking about the little Caucasus Nations, so I was thinking that maybe in the next weeks and months the Kuban People's Republic government could be overthrown and replaced with a pro russian confederation government and that the RC could finally end Armenia's and Azerbaijan conflict and bring the end of Nackhivan. and then this caucasus nations, the ukranian republican coalition, the Russian Confederation and maybe Bukhara could create an Eurasian alliance and colud be the start of the RC hegemony over this region. please answer me about what you think, regards.

Second Sicily War Tidbits
I was wondering if in the war-box, Tunisian rebels might be listed as constituents in the ADC/IPA faction. I could design a flag for the new Tunisia. Also, are you sure you don't want Genoa to take those islands? Land is land, and lebensraum is libensraum ;).
 * Oh, and before I forget, I'm presuming you're caretaker of Genoa, right? Would you mind if I did my digging and came up with a Renaissance of the Ligurian language, the language of Genoa before standardised Italian was established as the lingua-france of the new Italian-nation. You see, I'm trying to get languages that are nearly dead in our world (Coptic, Aragonese), to actually be doing better because of Doomsday, you know, because survivors who speak said language establish a community out of the wreckage of DD and that community grows, and before you know it the language is actually flourishing. What say you? Interested? If you're also caretaker of Venetian, I could do the same for Venice, which is what I planned on doing as well. Italy is so rich in tongues it's amazing-there's at least three IE branches on the Peninsula-Germanic, Hellenic, and Romance.

Mr.Xeight 15:13, December 21, 2010 (UTC)

Hey LG, I was wondering if you thought Macedonia would have any part in the Second Sicily War. I understand if it doesn't fit into your plans, but if you think it would help, I'm just suggesting it. Ownerzmcown 23:26, December 21, 2010 (UTC)

Genoa-Tuscany Relations
Might I ask, what are the exact relations between Genoa and Tuscany? I know they're both in the IPA but I wanted to elaborate the relations a bit more on the Tuscany page. Arstar 07:01, December 22, 2010 (UTC)

climate
This page wasn't originally mine, i've just added bits to make it bit more realistic after it appeared abandoned.

Globally sea levels would have fallen (due to increased ice at the poles and mountains, water being stored in new lakes etc), however locally sea level can rise due to the ground dropping, this can be caused by soil settling, mining underground, earthquakes, ect. So having some areas suffer from sea level rise is fine, however if you want to change that bit of the page feel free.

~Smoggy

like i said i didn't create this article, i just tried to get the scientific part of the article make some sense from the basic info that was existing on the page after it was made into a canon page, and as i also said, if you want, you can change it or if you want adopt it.--Smoggy80 14:15, December 29, 2010 (UTC)

Hi Lordganon I write because I need help in something, the grandfathers of my grandfather migrated from Zgharta Lebanon to Washington state in the 1890s or 1900, I know that my grandfather mother was born there c. 1901 and returned to the Ottoman Empire (Lebanon) c. 1906, I wanted to know ome things, first of all, do inmigrants first need to reach NYC? and second do you know any page apart from ancestry.com where I can find somenthing? regards.

Border Line
I thought the border for the new Sicily/Free Zones was going to be at New Rome? At least, that's what you said earlier. I'm not mad or anything, but correct me if I'm wrong. Arstar 00:09, January 4, 2011 (UTC)

Nation template
Hey, since apparently you're my go-to-guy on this wiki, I thought I'd ask you something. As you may or may not know, I created three new pages for my Napoleon's America timeline for the countries of USA, Mexico, and Quebec-Louisiana. I just want to put up a nation template, but as soon as I saved the page all I got was a bunch of senseless gibberish. How exactly am I supposed to put up a template?

And by the way, thanks for the info on GIMP, I already made the maps for the countries I previously mentioned, turned out quite well if I may say so myself.

Casquis 00:35, January 4, 2011 (UTC)

I face trouble yet again as I cant find a way to make the nation template stay on the right side of the page, even if I set it to be sticking to the right side,

like this

it always goes to the right and I cant even write in the blank space it leaves, I have to keep writing underneath instead of beside the template.

Casquis 03:07, January 4, 2011 (UTC)

nevermind my previous despair, it seems that I have found a template that manages to stick to the right.

Second Sicily War and ADC membership
Presumably the ADC would be too busy with the war to consider Woodbridge's application for membership for a few months?? Verence71 21:06, January 4, 2011 (UTC)

I imagined there would be some sort of observer status situation before full membership was granted so no problem there Verence71 18:35, January 5, 2011 (UTC)

Congratulations
Congratulations, you are now a Lieutenant in the TSPTF. I would like to spend sometime discussing those powers:


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

Again, congratulations on being elected to the TSPTF and good luck. Sorry for not doing this sooner, but I just got back from my honeymoon and I am trying to get my life back in order. Mitro 21:33, January 4, 2011 (UTC)

Congratulations, Lordganon, on becoming a Lieutenant!BrianD 21:45, January 4, 2011 (UTC)

I did actually. We went on a cruise to Cozumel and Costa Maya over New Years. I got to celebrate the start of 2011 while on a ship! Mitro 19:23, January 6, 2011 (UTC)

A Thank You From A Friend
I've always appreciated the assistance with categorizing my pages (I'm a bit scatterbrained sometimes and forget to do these things properly) but I never realized you were such a fan of the Napoleon's World TL until I spotted your generous nomination on the Awards page. It's an honor to have loyal readers such as yourself, Mister Sheen and Tbguy (and enthusiastic contributors such as Yank) who enjoy my work. Thank you so much for the nomination (though I can't, in good conscience, vote for my TL over 1983: Doomsday). If you ever have ideas you want to pitch me for NW, don't hesitate, I'm always pumped to hear suggestions.

KingSweden 07:13, January 8, 2011 (UTC)

I'm glad you like it. You know, the war itself I've wrapped up, I'm just touching up on the aftermath bits.

Featured this month!

Doomsday
I think I'll stick with the Kerr Republic. I might try making other pages, but I'd like to create a survivor state in a place I know.
