Flags
Dude, I've seen your flags, and their amazing. How do you make them? Vivaporius: "I don't need a slogan" 19:33, January 2, 2014 (UTC)

Personally, I like the ones for Saigyo, New Kamchatka, Kagiyama, and Vasiliysk. I've made a few of my own, but I used GIMP and I've been looking for an alternative that is easier to use, control, and produces cleaner results. Inkscape seems to have filled in all of those needs (I got the maps down a science, no more fuzzy borders!). Vivaporius: "I don't need a slogan" 02:15, January 3, 2014 (UTC)

I meant Kenai's flag sorry. Vivaporius: "I don't need a slogan" 02:34, January 3, 2014 (UTC)

Awesome. Thanks for the info once again. Vivaporius: "I don't need a slogan" 02:44, January 3, 2014 (UTC)

Niew-Africa
I take it Nieu-Afrika in South African and open? If so, I'd like to write on it being an Afrikaneer colony established due to fears (as in OTL) of a potential black genocide of the white population in South Africa. With your permission that is. Vivaporius: "I don't need a slogan" 02:43, January 3, 2014 (UTC)

Sorry about that. Vivaporius: "I don't need a slogan" 02:51, January 3, 2014 (UTC)

Understood. My influences for the state is actually based on OTL Orania. These people establish a colony backed by funding from Afrikaners seeking to join them away from South Africa, which, by all honest accounts, has failed to maintain the way of life they had accustom themselves to during the apartheid-era. Men like become major leaders in the new colony. Vivaporius: "I don't need a slogan" 03:04, January 3, 2014 (UTC)

Why thank you. I'm honored to play a part in the TL. :D Vivaporius: "I don't need a slogan" 03:07, January 3, 2014 (UTC)

RE:Adding Tags
Sure thing. Saw you add the site parameter to a picture I uploaded one time and have been doing it since. Is there a way to check if an image is only on Wikipedia? Mscoree (talk) 04:19, January 3, 2014 (UTC)

Okay thanks for the tip. Mscoree (talk) 04:24, January 3, 2014 (UTC)

Can you delete a page for me?
Hello. Could you delete my pages? I feel like starting a whole new one

Thank you!

Future
Do you want to help me on the Alternate Future Wiki? -- Ismael777 12:24, January 4, 2014‎

I'm not trying to spam. And it is alternate future history, not OTL future history. I founded the wiki yesterday and I really need help developing it. Ismael Perez 17:31, January 4, 2014 (UTC)

I did get the impression. I just did not think a comment of mine to support you would be removed in such a manner. It is your timeline in the end though so I wish you good luck with it. Imp (Say Hi?!) 18:19, January 7, 2014 (UTC)

Can this wiki affiliate to the Alternate Future Wiki? Ismael Perez (Talk) 00:12, January 9, 2014 (UTC)

Accidental Duplicate
Just so you know I didn't mean to duplicate. I was trying to make more flag choices for my page and I combined the admiral flag with the United States flag. I didn't know that Hellerick had done something similar when he made all those alternate United States flag. My mistake, and I apologize for the duplicate. Mscoree (talk) 01:38, January 9, 2014 (UTC)

Okay I got your message. Thanks for the information. Mscoree (talk) 01:39, January 9, 2014 (UTC)

I saw you replace the flag and I started typing the message to you while you were typing to me, expecting the worst. Saw your message after I hit publish and sent the second message rather relieved. Anyway, thanks for the help. Mscoree (talk) 02:12, January 9, 2014 (UTC)

Largest City
I noticed you are trying to fix the largest city code in NationInfo. Here you go:

-->|}} {{#if:{{{capital|}}}{{{admin_center|}}}{{{largest_city|}}}{{{largest_settlement|}}} (and {{{largest_settlement_type|largest city}}}) {{{capital}}}{{#if:{{{latd|}}} | {{coord|{{{latd}}}|{{{latm}}}|{{{latNS}}}|{{{longd}}}|{{{longm}}}|{{{longEW}}}|type:country({{{area_km2|}}})}} }} |<!---else4:

{{TestInfo }}
 * capital = Moscow
 * largest_city=capital

I took the code from NationBox (the ugliest template on the wiki), which has had this functionality since day one, and adapted it for NationInfo. Feel free to add that to NationInfo. Mscoree (talk) 17:08, January 9, 2014 (UTC)

No problem. Good luck with NationInfo. Mscoree (talk) 17:22, January 9, 2014 (UTC) {{clear}}

I recommend having some sort of boolean value or parameter to indicate if a capital is its largest city (see NationBox) because right now the way you have it you've made it so that when ever no largest city is indicated it makes the capital the largest city by default. This means almost every page that uses NationInfo has been changed. Mscoree (talk) 03:24, January 13, 2014 (UTC)

RE:Stop categorizing!!
I see. I'm going to go back and remove the spaces if that's alright. Mscoree (talk) 04:52, January 12, 2014 (UTC)

I think we got them all. Now that we're done do what ever punishment you see fit. Mscoree (talk) 05:47, January 12, 2014 (UTC)

To answer your question I was chastised for images in the past. Anyway, in case this is my last day on the wiki, thanks for the help, and good luck in the future. Mscoree (talk) 05:59, January 12, 2014 (UTC)

Depending on how long I am banned I will probably never be seen again. It's very possible that by then I will have succumb to illness. But I am grateful. I was expected by the turn of the year. Twelve days can mean a lot to someone. Even given me some time to think, on legacy, impact, and that sort of thing. When you said "considering what you've done to me previously", it made me sad to know I had impacted you in a way that could never be mended or touched, left simply in the state it was; poor. I don't know how else to say it but I appreciate everything you've done for me. During the time I was on this wiki I've had a lot of good experiences, some of which lasting for only seconds at a time. So even now in these few great seconds I have left to cherish, these last few messages, I am at home. It's like a light to me, and when light goes out I don't know what's left. All I know is that somewhere there is a wiki with edits by some guy in the future will have long since past, and this poor, mediocre legacy is all that he would have left. And yes I'm an idiot. I have no idea what I'm doing. You should be madder. I used to get very mad too sometimes. But really all you're affecting is some guy who in the future will have long since past. Anyway, thank you for your great timelines, all of which I've read, your images, maps, and flags, to which I strive to be, and everything else. Just know, if it's any consolation, that you've impacted me. Mscoree (talk) 06:22, January 12, 2014 (UTC)

NationInfo template
Nuke, what happen with NationInfo template? FirstStooge (talk) 05:12, January 12, 2014 (UTC)

I'm sorry for being so explosive, Nuke. I promise I will tone down my temper from now on. Well, I can only leave this matter completely to the TSPTF now and let them judge Ms wisely. FirstStooge (talk) 06:16, January 12, 2014 (UTC)
 * sigh* Him again. Well, now the wiki is already on a total mess just because his stupidity. FirstStooge (talk) 05:44, January 12, 2014 (UTC)

Map Program
Hello,

I was wondering what program you use to make the orthographic projections of your Venus, they're very impressive.

Thank you (I am that guy (talk) 01:35, January 15, 2014 (UTC))

Yes, it helps. I appreciate it.

National Anthem of New Kamchatka
I think I found a suitable anthem for New Kamchatka. Actually, it was a rejected proposal for an anthem of the Soviet Union. It is used by Transnistria today with different lyrics.

http://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%94%D0%B0_%D0%B7%D0%B4%D1%80%D0%B0%D0%B2%D1%81%D1%82%D0%B2%D1%83%D0%B5%D1%82_%D0%BD%D0%B0%D1%88%D0%B0_%D0%B4%D0%B5%D1%80%D0%B6%D0%B0%D0%B2%D0%B0

Just edit it out to fit New Kamchatka.

I didnt realize it was a duplicate. Sorry DS|The Rainbow Machete 18:06, January 16, 2014 (UTC)

Some of them were already buried in the depths of my computer (Yankees logo and Mets logo), under the names which I uploaded them with. For the others, I mostly added New York here and there, and replaced underscores with spaces. Do you want me to rename them or something? I just feel like "New York Yankees Logo" (name here) is easier to find than "NewYorkYankes PrimaryLogo" (Wikipedia file name).

02:45, January 17, 2014 (UTC)

OK, I'll do that next time.

Re:Flag of Italy
I am really sorry, Nuke. I promise for being more careful next time. FirstStooge (talk) 17:13, January 20, 2014 (UTC)

Hey nuke
You pretty much seem like the guy who would like to make a flag I have the idea for. This flag would explore in Yellowstone: 1936 Leon Trosky moving back to Russia after the eruption and chaos. He would make a nation in Leningrad and surrounding areas called the Peoples Republic of Leningrad. Now I have always imaged it to have Russian naval symbolism and communist and maybe a tiny bit of imperial symbolism. Why I am asking you to do this is because you are great at making flags and you seem to love Russia. OCT MARIUS, HAIL HIM  17:57, January 23, 2014 (UTC)


 * Sounds like the early Soviet naval jack. It's communist, it's naval, and it's Imperial Russian in the same time. — Hellerick [[Image:Flag of Divnogorsk.svg|20px]] 00:58, January 24, 2014 (UTC)

re:Flag in Signature
Thank you for the heads up, nuke. Whew, I thought I was in trouble for a minute there. Changes have been made as requested. CrimsonAssassin- I have special eyes 20:23, January 23, 2014 (UTC)

Re: Duplicates
Concerning the duplication of flags of nations in my timeline; the flag of Hadramaut is not the same as the Qu'aiti sultanate. Also, regarding the flags of Castille and Egypt etc., I seem to have difficulties changing the height of the picture so as to preserve uniformity on the page. Any help in doing so, would be appreciated. - Happychickenvermin (Talk 03:33, February 2, 2014 (UTC)


 * I've edited the flag of (my) Castille; it is now deprived of the fringe and has a variant of the Castillian coat-of-arms, flanked by the Pillars of Hercules and crowned with the Spanish crown. The Latin name of the kingdom is inscribed at the bottom.


 * I've replaced the old flag link with the new one but, on the Nations page, it displays the old one. Any thoughts why?

IP Block
Hi, I don't mean to spam people, but I am contacting you because you were the administrator who most recently edited. Recently the user Mscoree was banned for two weeks, and his ban was supposed to ban today, however, because he viewed the source of a page recently it auto blocked his IP. Since his block was supposed to expire today and this is all a mistake, is it possible for you to unban his IP? Thanks, Tr0llis (talk) 22:30, February 2, 2014 (UTC)

OK i understand you are an admin. But 1) I did not know it was a duplicate, 2) you do not need to come at me like I am doing some hienous crime. I am a respected member of this wiki. I did not know, how do you expect me to know If a picture is a duplicate? There are literally thousands on this wiki. Thousands. I do not appreiciate the veiled threat "you will not be warned again" what you will ban me for an innocent mistake? If that is the case I will go to another TSPTF member. I am doing nothing wrong, at least not intentially. Bowties are Cool (talk) 22:40, February 2, 2014 (UTC)
