Air forces
I can't think of any reason why they couldn't send their bombers and fighters ahead, save political ones. As I am not the expert in their politics, perhaps the creators of those articles could offer more. --DarthEinstein 01:04, October 2, 2009 (UTC)

Re: The proposal process
I think we have very different ideas about how proposals should work, then! In my mind, every single page could be expanded significantly at any time. A good example is Samoa. I don't know if I wrote it before or since we started using formal Proposal tags, but it would definitely have been "graduated" long ago, either way. Just the other day I made very big changes to it - mostly government and constitution stuff, but also pieces on the culture, relations with Australia and New Zealand, and quite a bit of political history. And there's lots more I could still add: education, cuisine, language (American or Commonwealth spellings?), the names of the Prime Ministers, major health issues, etc etc etc. And that doesn't even include changes to my prose or spelling, or any images I might want to add. To me, graduation doesn't mean a page is finished, not even close. It means that the basic concept of the country (or whatever) is to be regarded as "true", and the creator can continue to develop the country (or whatever) in the way that he wants. All changes are still open to discussion, of course, but the assumption is that that country is definitely a part of 1983DD, and the author is assumed to be the expert on it.

That's the way I see it, anyway. Benkarnell 19:25, October 8, 2009 (UTC)


 * As a group, we really are still trying to find a good balance between chaotic madness (which we had before we created Proposal tags) and strict central control over content (which, besides being possibly less fun, can turn into a burden for those who have the control). I do feel that we're starting to drift in the direction of the latter right now, as evidenced by the belief that some have expressed that only you (or only an admin) can remove a proposal tag.
 * I think we'll only be trying the impossible if we try to require that substantial changes to existing articles (or concepts) by the designated caretaker get group/admin clearance. If a contributor wants to add pages and pages of material, and it doesn't affect anything outside their borders, I think that can be left entirely to their discretion.  If others read it and object to it, that can be done with normal discussion and collaboration, IMO.  Tagging and re-tagging pages as proposals will quite frankly make too much work for everyone.
 * For changes that do touch on the work of others, I like the approach taken (for example) by Tristan for Galicia. He wants to ad a bit about Galicia and the Celtic Alliance, so he left a message at  to discuss it with Mjdoch.  That might be a good guideline, but I'd personally prefer to not add another Rule.  When an addition touches nearl everybody, like the new South American constitution, it might be nice to drop a note on the main discussion page, but again, I'd rather not have to institute a Rule.
 * Keping things less formal like that would probably lead to some situations where somebody says, "Hey! I just noticed something you wrote six months ago, and I don't like it, can we discuss changes now?" But I don't see that as all bad.  It takes a little decision making power away from the admins.  Our role is (or should be, IMO) facilitators and watcher-overers, not gatekeepers or guardians of the canon.
 * At any rate, the number of pages in the Proposal list has grown insanely large, and from a practical standpoint I think it best not to keep piling on old pages for review. Our little game will start to fee like work!  Benkarnell 21:35, October 9, 2009 (UTC)\


 * Oops, miscommunication. Nobody's trying to give admins exclusive power to decide canon, or anything like that.  But I've read comments that show that people believe that it is that way, that only the admins can remove propo tags, even though that's never been a rule.  Benkarnell 16:38, October 10, 2009 (UTC)

thanks
Mitro, thanks for your work on adding links to the tables on the World Cup thread. I had planned to get around to that when I got some spare time in the middle of the week, but wanted to thank you and tell you your work was much appreciated. --BrianD 19:31, October 11, 2009 (UTC)


 * Also, thanks for graduating the Vermont article. I'm flattered the community thought enough of it to make it canon.--BrianD 16:40, October 14, 2009 (UTC)

Official policy regarding changes to articles by anonymous users
I had an anonymous user change a couple of minor items in my West Texas article this morning.

What is your policy regarding such changes? Are authors expected to roll with any such changes, or is there an expectation that the originator of a concept will have final say over a change to an article, or canon? How is that handled?--BrianD 16:41, October 14, 2009 (UTC)

 * The only problem I have with Windhoek being the capital is that it is far in the interior of the area. The refugees would for the time being remain on the coast, and I think they would have a difficult time working into the interior because of native opposition. However, even if they do control Windhoek, its name would likely be changed to Neus Berlin in memory of what is considered to be a destroyed capital, and cultural center, of the german people.

policy regarding giving up a proposal to another user
What policy does the community have if someone wants to give up control of a proposal/concept he's created?

I finished a proposal last night and I've found that I really don't have much interest in working with it anymore, especially as it seems to be developing. The concept seems to be meshing with two other users' ideas in a way that makes me believe it may be best if they took my proposal and ran with it on their own.--BrianD 23:27, October 24, 2009 (UTC)

Cuba
Do you mind if I expand on Cuba? I'll leave the parts that are already canon alone. Cuba will play a large part of the restarted civil war in Costa Rica,which I'll start making in the following week.--Vladivostok 17:53, November 1, 2009 (UTC)

Edit help
I need to remove a category from one of my pages, but cannot figure out how to do it. Diplomacy should not be with the Categories: World War II timeline - I was typing faster than I was thinking. Thanks, Sg647112c 20:54, November 3, 2009 (UTC)

In 1521, it was supossed to be that the great Aztec capital, Tenochtitlan, was taken by the Spaniards after 4 hard months of intense fighting. But it wasn't like that, the Aztecs beat this ordeal and were able to break through the European powers, mainly with his old enemy Spain and their southern neighbors the Incan Empire. So The Empire became one of the dominant powers of the world, of course not without one of its major allies: the United States.

Deleted pages
Yes, please restore those pages if you could. They're clearly going to go eventually, but I want the creator to at least have a fair chance to get the message. Benkarnell 04:21, November 11, 2009 (UTC)

Deleted sections on talk pages
I've noticed recently a certain user is deleting entire sections of comments on his talk page and others, comments that are critical, but very helpful, to the discussion in question. Is this allowed?--BrianD 14:36, November 12, 2009 (UTC)

Chile
Mitro, I was seeing your edits on and found rather odd to extend Pinochet's regime to 1992. I think it can perfectly fit the OTL the defeat he suffers in the 1988 referendum, with the Doomsday scenario. --JorgeGG 17:49, November 12, 2009 (UTC)
 * OK. I think that the emergency measures would added more to his unpopularity. I'll try to see . Thought I'm still think of a better development of things in . The main problem is that I'm a lazy writer. I'm more an ideas drafter or outliner, then a writer.. --JorgeGG 18:20, November 12, 2009 (UTC)

Map of Franz's World
Hi, Mitro. I had a day off today and because I've only been focusing on DD and I do truly appreciate you giving virtually no limit to realistic creavity for FW Greece, I'd love to make a map. But, I do need to know some things first. Mr.Xeight 20:31, November 13, 2009 (UTC)
 * I started with the Imperial Federation. I colored all of the nations mentioned on the page pink (a color usually designated for Britain) but I have some questions.
 * Does the Irish Free State include Northern Ireland, or is it like in our world, part of the UK?
 * When you say India, does that include Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Burma? I have them added, but it can be easily undone.
 * I added Papau New Guinea, Jamaica, and Bermuda; is that okay?
 * With no World War II, are Korea & Taiwan still part of Japan?
 * The Asian Federation-is that like the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere? So far I have the members in shades of orange-which at the moment is just Japan, Korea, and the Philippines. Anyone else?
 * Greece-I've included what we discussed; but do you think a colonial war with Italy or some other minor power possible?
 * I have the US in blue and the satellite states in light shades.
 * Do Russia still include all the territory t lost after the Fall of the USSR?
 * Did the Chinese Invasion of Tibet ever happen?

Finally, I finished. Mr.Xeight 22:42, November 13, 2009 (UTC)

Damn, I completely forgot to fix Germany & Poland! Microsoft Paint is so annoying in terms of saving things, there's no way for me to go back and fix it. Mr.Xeight 22:44, November 13, 2009 (UTC)

Enosis
Please excuse my simple sentences and frank nature. I just wrote a letter to you, only to have my computer tell me the Internet has stopped working...
 * Would you prefer Enosis in 1931 or 1949? In '49 the OC proposed it, but as you know the SoW occured in '31. Do you think Cyprus would immediately leave the new Federation, or wait until 1949? They never liked British rule.
 * Greece purchasing a colony somewhere; possible or impossible?

Mr.Xeight 02:53, November 15, 2009 (UTC)

It's not me.
If I get a message when I'm browsing through Call of Duty Wiki again for an edit I didn't do, I'm going to complain to Wikia and/or vandalize the pages I supposedly edited. 10.8.2.214 01:04, November 14, 2009 (UTC)

Thank you for the welcome message, but I think you should have a closer look too it. The images overlap the text, so I cannot properly read it. Would you fix this template? Lars Washington 13:11, November 14, 2009 (UTC)
