Sorry to tell you, but: Your "Children of Rome" timeline has been nominated for deletion because it hardly contains any actual content, if you are still interested in writing this AltHist you are given four weeks time to let us know and to start writing on, otherwise it will be deleted.--Max Sinister 14:35, 11 October 2008 (UTC)

Idea
Here's an idea for a timeline: the same students in engine of progress and Our revolution land smack-dab in the US civil war. Buk5 19:18, 14 October 2008 (UTC)


 * About the ISOTed Arizona students... I should object the choice of 2010 as point of departure, particularly if they are using downtime technologies or science that are still speculation in 2008 OTL. Unless you know for sure that it is feasible and than 2010 knowledge plus downtime technology would really work.
 * We are still stretching on the possibility of time-travel and keep it calling Alternate History as opposed to Sci-Fi, just to add a new layer of speculation.
 * —Carlos Th (talk) 19:26, 14 October 2008 (UTC)

these kids always seem to do more good than harm. their arrival always seem to fix all the problems, and cause none themselves. the fact that they know so much about the future has to be one thing, as it will change some people's lives, and ruin others. what if they arrived in the middle of the Cuban missile crisis and as a result had to rebuild a shattered union after the Russians and the Yanks nuked each other to oblivion? or they landed in the Dark ages, with the black death and ignorance running rampart?


 * Read my Engine of Progress timeline. That resulted in a world without the Cold war, but made WWII far more bloody than ever. Bobby Kennedy became president, but at the cost of JFKs sanity. The other two timelines, A House United, and Our Revolution, are still very much under construction, same with Engine of Progress. If you want to read a timeline that is essentially complete, read An Independent in 2000, which does not include the 5 Students, but does have a fairly upbeat vibe to it, which was the point to begin with, instead of a colossal screw up as president, what if we go the exact opposite?--YNot1989 15:28, 19 October 2008 (UTC)

Hi! I'm just saying that your althists are my favourites across the whole wiki, particularly An Independent in 2000. Also, your time-travel storylines have up till now all emerged in the US; I can think of equally interesting ones if they emerged elsewhere. Perhaps one where they arrive in Australia and their technologies help turn it into a superpower or something like that. Anyway, thanks for all your amazing althists and keep up the good work! --Fegaxeyl 08:09, 29 October 2008 (UTC)

Would you ever consider the students arriving in a time before any Europeans found out about the Americas? It would kind of kill the trend but could still be interesting.--TEAKAY 01:50, 15 November 2008 (UTC)

Lockheed
Your "Lockheed" timeline has been nominated for deletion because it hardly contains any actual content, if you are still interested in writing this AltHist you are given four weeks time to let us know and to start writing on, otherwise it will be deleted.--Max Sinister 10:43, 10 November 2008 (UTC)

OFA?
is An Independent in 2000 an open timeline? Buk5 01:26, 15 November 2008 (UTC)

Answer
No, sorry, but I'm really proud of that timeline as it stands.--YNot1989 03:43, 28 November 2008 (UTC)

Attention
To all those who may enjoy my An Independent in 2000 Timeline, I have continued it on Future Wikia under the same name. Its still getting built, but I hope you enjoy. Oh and I'm now adding maps to my timelines here on Alt Hist. too. :)--YNot1989 06:30, 21 November 2008 (UTC)

Kornilovshina
I am trying to get this article featured sometime in 09. Perhaps you could help. Buk5 20:43, 27 November 2008 (UTC)

Are you okay with this
are you alright with people power id like to get your blessing

Sorry, but No
While I appreicate the flattery, if you are going to do a timeline that follows my time travel Alt Hists, please do so in such a way that it doesn't blatently copy my style. Its a good idea, but give it your own touch, don't just copy mine. The students from Embry-Riddle are all based on real people that I've known in my life, if you are going to try a similar Alt Hist, use characters that you are familiar with. --YNot1989 18:56, 3 December 2008 (UTC)

Okay man, ill change their names.
 * Thank you. --YNot1989 19:25, 3 December 2008 (UTC)

Ideas
Hey everybody, I've been spending a lot of time on An Independent in 2000 lately, but I've been wondering if there is any of my timelines or a specific page, or just something specifically unanswered that you want to see answered or further elaborated on? --YNot1989 03:05, 4 December 2008 (UTC)


 * Here's an idea for History 101, you could format it in the same way as Unternehmen Seelowe, 1941, where people could add their own scenarios. Buk5 08:43, 4 December 2008 (UTC)

To All Fascists
Recently somebody came into my favorite alt hist An Independent in 2000, and proceeded to delete and append all of my work on Alt President Charles Malcolm Edwards and replace key pieces of data with their right wing, religion soaked views. Now I have nothing against what a person wants to say on their own timeline, but I have repeatedly stated, that An Independent in 2000 is my pride and joy, and I will not tolerate some low life fascist coming around and defecating on my hard work with their partisan rhetoric. So to all you Fascists out there, bugger off!--YNot1989 02:52, 6 December 2008 (UTC)

I know how you feel theyre not good enough to make great TLs like an independant in 2000 so they wait till their made and then dirty them with their ultra rightist agenda Red guy ~2 10:21, 6 December 2008 (UTC)

Thank you, nice to know there are those who have had to deal with this crap too.--YNot1989 18:35, 6 December 2008 (UTC)


 * Sorry to hear about this, YNot1989. I looked into the page history of An Independent in 2000 and the Charles Malcolm Edwards page, but I'm not sure about it. Was it the guy who wrote stuff like "lack of willingness to talk abouht (sic) his faith" and such? As an admin, I can ban him. Tell me if things like this happen in the future.--Max Sinister 11:15, 9 December 2008 (UTC)


 * It was the Revision as of 21:34, 5 December 2008 (edit) thing. The guy added all this neo-con crap to the President Charles Malcolm Edwards Page. Don't worry about it though, Its an easy fix just copy the last version of the page and paste over the new version.--YNot1989 17:57, 9 December 2008 (UTC)


 * Also sorry to hear about these idiots who destroy other people's work - especially such a detailed one as yours. My Invasion of Czechoslovakia (Fall Grün) was also deleted by some idiot, but Das Taub was quick to notice it and restored it. Luckilly the Wikia system allows one to restore lost work. - Realismadder 21:25, 9 December 2008 (UTC)

problems
I have some reservations:

1. About the concept of total net neutrality, i would have some reservations, since every pervert, criminal or lowlife will flood it with their depravity and spam. How would Edwards and Obama respond to that?

2. With the right to choose enshrined, that would mean abortion rates would skyrocket and cause negative population growth. With religion a declining moral force, then this would mean that abortion rates will never have been higher

3. With all drugs legal,  there would be more people in asylums and hospitals, with Marijuana users eventually moving on to  Heroine, Cocaine, Crystal meth etc.

While i an most certainly not a fascist, i feel more of a social conservative. Buk5 10:04, 6 December 2008 (UTC)

I think legalizing abortion completely and all drugs are actually quite unsocialist.Obama would probably keep abortion the same and legalize marijuana. And their still is total net neutrality but why would Obama allow sites to go on like Redwatch or paedo rings.By the way im a socialist, so im seeing from my point of view it might not be yours. Red guy ~2 19:32, 6 December 2008 (UTC)

Not Socialist Timeline

 * Perhaps I have not made the premise of No More! clear enough. It is not a socialist uprising it is more of a practical uprising of social libertarians and economic socialists. Part two, No More! is not a sequel to An Independent in 2000, Edwards was never born, let alone elected President. All drugs would not be legal, I never mentioned drugs once in that timeline, if anything the war on drugs will just end, so their control would fall to the states not the federal government. And as for the abortion thing, it basically solidifies Roe v. Wade, it does not enshrine abortions, which by the way makes perfect sense that women would go to them every chance they get to get the sure ecstasy of blinding pain, risk of death, and the social trauma that comes with making arguably the most difficult decision a person can make.

Sorry man i was merely saying i was a socialist. Red guy ~2 19:32, 6 December 2008 (UTC)


 * I meant no disrespect towards you, I just thought that there was a lack of clarity towards my timeline, and I had spent most of the morning changing one of my timelines back to normal from a social conservative nightmare so I was just kinda sarcastically venting with the abortion thing. So no harm no foul. --YNot1989 22:33, 6 December 2008 (UTC)

Of course not :) Red guy ~2 19:20, 7 December 2008 (UTC)

apologies
Sorry if i got you angry. In penance i will get an independent in 2000 nominated. Buk5 18:58, 6 December 2008 (UTC)


 * While I very much appreciate that, don't do it out of guilt. You have the right to voice your opinion on what I write just as much as I have the right to do so on yours. All I ask is that you don't change what I write on a timeline I deem Closed, but mutually shitting on each other's work is one of the founding principles of the internet.--YNot1989 22:37, 6 December 2008 (UTC)

Rady for the Mother Country
I was wondering whether or not you could help me in Ready for the Mother Country. Buk5 23:06, 6 December 2008 (UTC)


 * More around the space race and the US flag (64 Stars). Buk5 23:19, 6 December 2008 (UTC)

President McCain cabinet
Hello,

If you should have the time and interest, some help with the cabinet would be appreciated. The current one, except a few posts, are currently only temporary, so I would be happy if you could help me make a realistic one.

Thanks in advance for your answer, Realismadder 17:51, 7 December 2008 (UTC)


 * Sure, I'll see what I can do.--YNot1989 19:17, 7 December 2008 (UTC)


 * The office holders that I think should remain is Secretary of Defence, Secretary of State, National Security Advisor (however, can be changed if you have a better idea), and VP. Note that due to the success of his predecessor, the VP will act differently when he is elected President than in OTL, following a policy more similar to McCain's (and, neocons would not fill the major posts such as Defence, State etc.). - Realismadder 20:46, 9 December 2008 (UTC)

History 101
About History 101, i suggest a format akin to Not One Step Back, where people add their own scenarios or edit existing ones. Buk5 18:03, 9 December 2008 (UTC)

About your use of the term facist
Not to be an apologetic for vandals, but i think you are banding the word fascist around too many times when people disagree with you. Calling them for what they are, Neocons, would suffice.

BTW, would you say Reagan was a Neocon, or the hoover institution? Buk5 19:30, 10 December 2008 (UTC)

Fascism is by definition forcing your will on somebody else. I use this definition for those who come in and force their ideology on my timeline, at timeline that I had specified as closed. Neocons are too specific a definition for those who impose their will on other people's works.--YNot1989 00:27, 11 December 2008 (UTC)


 * Well, a more precise definition of Fascism is that it is an authoritarian or totalitarian nationalist ideology, with unity, strength, purity, national or racial exalting, third positionism (for example a combination of class collaboration and economic planning and national socialism) and militarism in focus. However, not all leaders who were authoritarian (and thus in some eyes a Fascist) were bad. For example Latvia's Kārlis Ulmanis was, and is still highly favored, due to several reasons (note that he was only authoritarian, and disliked Nazism as well as Communism).


 * Back to topic: Anyone could in reality force upon you with their ideology/religion, whether it is Fascism, Nazism, Socialism, Communism, Capitalism, Christianity, Islam etc., so deaming them all as Fascist is not entirely correct.


 * However, I admit I have, and will probably still use, the same words concerning idiots like those who hacked in and spammed/deleted your pages. ;)

Party pages
There are/were two empty pages, The Republican Party (An Independent in 2000) and Libertarian Party (An Independent in 2000). Since someone without a username made them, I guess it's OK to delete them.--Max Sinister 10:24, 11 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Its cool, I thought I already got rid of those pages anyway.

A House United
You still working on it? or is it on the back burner for now? Buk5 11:24, 24 December 2008 (UTC)

I'm having some serious writer's block with that ATL, so back of the burner for now.--YNot1989 17:30, 24 December 2008 (UTC)


 * Could i contribute to It, and perhaps you could have a look at it later on? Buk5 17:39, 24 December 2008 (UTC)


 * Sure, hell I'm thinking of just opening it up for adoption anyway.--YNot1989 17:41, 24 December 2008 (UTC)

President Hendrix
Could you help me in it? Buk5 21:07, 26 December 2008 (UTC)
 * No, sorry, but after looking at that ATL I have to say that any edits I give to make it work will go against your personal beliefs and the direction you want in that ATL; Personally the idea of a GOP Hendrix, let alone a President Hendrix is both absurd and highly unlikely. --YNot1989 06:53, 27 December 2008 (UTC)

The King Lives
I was wanting your help for this TL where MLK survives his assassination and runs for office as a independent. Buk5 18:09, 4 January 2009 (UTC)
 * I don't want to be one to tell you what to write or anything, but you have a lot of timelines, and frankly I would suggest you focus on those that you really like instead of spreading yourself so thin on timelines with less than a page of info. If you have to ask for help this much, you need to slow down and focus on what you really want to do first.--YNot1989 05:54, 14 January 2009 (UTC)
