Alternative History:Featured alternate history

Nominations for Featured Alternate Histories are the proper way of nominating the best alternate histories that we have here at the Alternate History Wiki. These alternate histories must meet the following criteria:
 * Well-written: the prose of the alternate history is engaging, even brilliant, and of a professional standard;
 * Comprehensive: the alternate history neglects no major facts or details and places the subject in context; more then one article is used to convey the alternate history
 * Plausible: the POD and the altered events following the POD are logically what would happen if history was changed
 * Neutral: the alternate history does its best to give an objective view of the altered history without being overly influenced by politics, religion, nationalism, etc.; it is not a "wankfest"
 * Peaceful collaboration: the alternate history is not subject to ongoing edit wars.
 * Portal Page: the alternate history has a portal page that summarizes the work and prepares the reader for the detail in the connected articles;
 * Appropriate structure: the majority of articles in the alternate history have a system of hierarchical section headings, a substantial but not overwhelming table of contents and a lead section to describe the article
 * External sources: the alternate history provides OTL sources to support the events after the POD either on the portal page or a separate article
 * Supplements: the alternate history makes use of pictures, flags, maps, tables, videos, etc.

Any registered user can nominate an article. You may nominate an article by yourself, or with other users. You will need to sign the nomination, so a confirmation can be completed.

If an alternate history receives a nomination, the  template will be placed on the portal page until a decision is reached.

If an alternate history becomes a featured article, the  template will be placed on the portal page and the alternate history will be added to the list. The nomination discussion will be moved to the archive.

Nomination Process

 * 1) First chose an alternate history, and explain why the alternate history would be a good candidate. Also, you can explain what needs to be improved on the article.
 * 2) Add the  template to the article.
 * 3) The alternate history should be adjusted if anyone opposes it.
 * 4) The alternate history will be added to the list if there is no more opposition and at least three (3) editors (other then the nominator) support its nomination.

 * FIrefootball, if you're objecting because of spelling, that's a very small thing on the scale of things, and really should just be noted here in the discussion section. It's not a reason against a timeline, especially since this timeline was written by a non-native english speaker. Louisiannan Dr. Cayne Armand 19:06, December 15, 2009 (UTC)
 * I will take louis side on this becuse spelling irrelevent and not everybody here speaks english

 * it has a nice portal page with good photos and a timeline and it has good links--Owen1983 22:59, December 21, 2009 (UTC)
 * Yes, is very unrealistic, but it still cool--Ed9306 03:56, March 6, 2010 (UTC)

 * My biggest problem with this TL is the implausibility of it. How Finland expanded just seems so unrealistic. If Finland is so powerful, how come it never expanded into OTL Russian territory? Mitro 16:45, February 26, 2010 (UTC)
 * I agree. It shouldn't be nominated for being featured. It should be nominated to be deleted. Until the creator shows signs of improving it, and I have checked many many times and he/she shows no interest in doing so. Until it is given the needed changes to be more plausible there is in my opinion no chance for it to become featured. If we did make it a featured history, then this page would be flooded with nominations for wank timelines even less plausible than this one. Yankovic270 20:27, March 12, 2010 (UTC)

 * Well it was expanded quite a bit since the last time I took a look at it, I am still not though whether to support or object. Riley.Konner 10:29, December 25, 2009 (UTC)

Extensive writeup with pictures, photos, and maps. Work in progress. Detail pages go well beyond the average scope of alternate history.--TEAKAY 21:27, March 22, 2010 (UTC)

 * I like it, it seems very well organized and extensive. Definitely stronger than some of the above nominated pieces, and it would be nice to feature an AltHist that hasn't been featured before. KingSweden 22:12, March 22, 2010 (UTC)
 * i agree. it's well written, well researched and well-thought out. it's also extensive and of a much higher quality than most of the nominees Destroyanator 04:02, March 26, 2010 (UTC)

Napoleon's World
I'm not sure if one is allowed to offer up one's own AltHist for nomination, but I've put a lot of work into this TL, and if anything needs to be added (especially in the 19th century) let me know. I want to hear everyone's opinion. KingSweden 22:12, March 22, 2010 (UTC)
