The Alternate History Wiki is a project for all communities concerned with creating fictional alternative histories. We hope you will feel at home here and wish you good luck contributing to our ever growing collection of alternative histories. Regards, -- Mitro (Talk) 03:10, September 11, 2009
 * If you have no experience in editing wikis it is advisable that you first read our guide on making articles.
 * As an introduction to the phenomenon of Alternative History you can read our pages on Alternative History, Online Alternative History as well as Wikipedias article on Alternative History.
 * A list of all AltHists alphabetically sorted can be found here, a list sorted by Point of Divergence can be found here.
 * To sign your posts on talk pages use ~ (four tildes). This will insert your name and timestamp. To insert just your name, type (three tildes).
 * If you are in need of ideas to base your AltHist you might consider looking at our ideas page.
 * For an explanation of frequently used terminology please visit this page.
 * You can experiment in the sandbox.
 * All articles on this wiki take the following fomat: Name of article (Name of AltHist). This rule does not apply to the main article of your AltHist wich you can simply give the name of your AltHist.
 * For links to other Alternative History related sites visit our links page.

" at the bottom of the page).
 * I think that's what you meant, but I'm not sure. - Mister Sheen 17:35, December 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * You could just do it the way you would create any other page (make a redlink from another page, and click on the link to start creating the category). Since it's a category, the link shows up at the end of the article.
 * As for templates, my skill mostly goes as far as this kind of thing, which doesn't really count because I'm just using another template to make it. I'm trying to learn more wiki-code, but I've never been great at that kind of thing. - Mister Sheen 18:48, December 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * Definitely! I'd take history and literature over science and technology any day. - Mister Sheen 20:47, December 10, 2010 (UTC)

Chicago (Napoleon's World)
What do you think would happen to Chicago in the Napoleon's World timeline? I'm guessing that it would fade into obscurity, and large amounts of the population (or all of it) would leave. If the city doesn't end up liek Gary, it would probably end up like Detroit in OTL (of its 137 square miles, 60 are completely uninhabited).

College Ball (Napoleon's World)
My picks (in bold):


 * National Championship at the Sugar Bowl: #1 Huron Highlanders (13-0) vs. #2 Nova Scotia Sea Lions (12-0)
 * Huron Highlanders


 * Texas Bowl: #4 LSU Tigers (12-1) vs. #10 Washington Huskies (10-2)
 * LSU Tigers

 * Northern Apachia


 * Peach Bowl: #20 Mississippi Falcons (9-4) vs. #17 Maryland Terrapins (9-4)
 * Maryland Terrapins


 * Manhattan Bowl: #7 Eastern New York Flying Dutchmen (11-1) vs. #18 Missouri Tigers (9-3)
 * Eastern New York Flying Dutchmen

College Football
Great idea, man. I don't really follow the season much, but here's my picks anyway: - Mister Sheen 22:28, December 19, 2010 (UTC)
 * Huron Highlanders
 * LSU Tigers
 * Indiana Hoosiers
 * South Carolina
 * Northern Apachia
 * Maryland Terrapins
 * Eastern New York Flying Dutchmen
 * Florida State Seminoles
 * Alabama Crimson Tide
 * Massachusetts Minutemen


 * Ah crap, can I change my vote? I haven't accidentally voted against a Minnesota team, too, have I?
 * Yeah, that's why I picked Alabama, too. Anyone who plays Michigan is alright with me! - Mister Sheen 21:51, December 20, 2010 (UTC)

To be honest, I think ya picked the wrong person for someting like this, but I will still suggest who I think should win, if you want.


 * Nova Scotia Sea Lions (cause, well I'm Canadian)
 * LSU Tigers
 * Pacifica Orcas
 * Kahokia Thundering Herd
 * Cuba Spaniards
 * Maryland Terrapins
 * Eastern New York Flying Dutchmen
 * USC Trojans
 * Michigan State Spartans
 * Nebraska Cornhuskers.

These are my picks, but I'm not a major football fan (or for that matter baseball, hockey, soccer (ahem, actual football, in case anyone not from North America is reading this), or for that matter, most sports). Still, I hope this still works for ya! Tbguy1992 01:18, December 20, 2010 (UTC)

Tables
You're welcome. The fix was an easy one. Harder was to find the accompanying map. As a suggestion, It would be nice if the article at least gives out the names of the territories of the French Empire outside Europe. JorgeGG 01:51, December 21, 2010 (UTC)

A query from a friend...
Hey KingSweden, I got a question for you based on FTBW, of you would like to help me.

I'm just wondering if where I am in my TL (about the late 1930's, just before ATL's World War Two) makes sense, cause recently I've been uncertain about how well it works, and if it make some sense.

If you could let me know, that would really help me, especially now that I'm home for the holiday's and done exams, so I have time to work on FTBW. Thanks a lot! Tbguy1992 19:23, December 22, 2010 (UTC)


 * Well, thank you for your advice, and I have been looking over it, and saying "it fits at the moment, so it works."


 * But, from your point of view, do you think their is something that I should go into more detail about? Becuase, to be honest, I really don't know, and won't really get to that point for a while longer, when I start working on my other articles. I'm mostly asking you cause I need a second opinion, cause you know an artist will say "I like this," no matter its flaws or mistakes, mostly because they made it. I'm like that, so I need some feedback to help improve it. I hope you understand.


 * Thanks, and Happy New Year! Tbguy1992 04:24, December 30, 2010 (UTC)

Napoleon's World
Way I figure it, your timeline is one of the best two on the site, quite honestly. Always nice to read a good article, lol.

I'll remember that if I have any ideas for you - cant think of any off the top of my head, but I know I did have a couple halfer's for ya at one point. Now to see if I can remember, lol.

Can't wait to see the end of the Alaskan War, myself. When that thing's done I'm pretty confident it'll be the best on the wiki, lol.

Lordganon 10:22, January 8, 2011 (UTC)


 * More or less what I'd meant, lol. Lokk forward to the rest of the article. Lordganon 21:55, January 10, 2011 (UTC)

Batman vs. Superman, dude that's genius! I'll have to take a look at all the other media pages, they sound awesome too :) - Mister Sheen 18:03, January 9, 2011 (UTC)

Congratulations, King Sweden
Your and Yankovic's article Alternate Destinies (Napoleon's World) is the winner of the 2011 Stirling Lifetime Achievement Award for an Article. You may discuss with the co-writer about how to display the award, which the both of you may do in any way you see fit.

Of all the article that could have beaten my own, I'm pleased that it was that one. Keep up the good work and good luck in the next year. Red VS Blue 23:12, January 26, 2011 (UTC)

TSPTF
Would you be interested at all in a position on the TSPTF? Lordganon 15:55, January 31, 2011 (UTC)

Well, it would more so be a Lieutenancy - which is basically helping to police the wiki by reverting bad edits you see and banning those who vandalize the wiki, not really coding or anything (though, you could do some of that if you wanted, lol). Not really time intensive, honestly - just keep half an eye out for bad edits when you look at the recent changes on the wiki, and have a look to see if there is any uncategorized articles/categories when you have a chance/the time(not that there is usually any of these to worry about - me and Mitro usually catch them all)

Yeah, those are pretty interesting little articles. Would Kialgory and Evgenigrad be alternate versions of Calgary and Edmonton, by any chance?

Lordganon 07:01, February 1, 2011 (UTC)

Yeah, there's a few vacancies right now ;) Always done by vote, in the end - and, if you're interested, I'll nominate you.

Perfectly reasonable to inflate them - both otl can support a lot more in their metro regions than they do. Though, as an Edmontonian, I feel I must ask you to have Evgenigrad be the larger of thew two, lol.

Lordganon 10:14, February 1, 2011 (UTC)

Actually, not really. Calgary can be a touch warmer sometimes in the winter, as it gets "Chinook" winds occasionally that bring in warm air from the Okanagan Desert and other hot areas in southern BC. But, it's otherwise a touch colder because its at a bit of a higher elevation. More or less evens out. Lordganon 04:14, February 3, 2011 (UTC)

I should add as well that the population difference between Edmonton and Calgary is mostly an accident of history - Edmonton as a settlement is far older, dating to the original fur-trading posts there long before the arrival of Alaska atl. The CPR was put through the Calgary area originally because there was no real land claims on the line already there, while to the north there was. Atl, Alaska would have any such line running further north, for security concerns. And then there's the oil found at the turn of the century near Calgary that got all of that infrastructure originally installed there, which probably wouldn't really happened either. Lordganon 05:03, February 3, 2011 (UTC)

No doubt, that would indeed happen. At any rate, you've given it all the nice oil, energy, and technology, so I can live with it, lol.

Have you given any more thought to the TSPTF offer?

Lordganon 06:24, February 3, 2011 (UTC)

You have now been nominated. All you have to do now is head over to http://althistory.wikia.com/wiki/Alternative_History:Request_for_user_rights and accept the nomination. Lordganon 22:50, February 3, 2011 (UTC)

Stewart/Stewart's Follies
There seems to be some clash between your new "Stewart" article and the Television article. It has allready been established that Jon Stewart's alternate history sitcom was more of a ATL Drew Carey Show than an alternate Seinfeld. Just letting you know.

Alexander III
Hey man, Thanks for complemnting on my work!, The photo i used for Alexander III was Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov, In OTL, He was a famous Russian composer and apart of "The five". Don't mind if I add some photos to the articles?

Actually, would you mind telling me the list of Tsars of Alaska?, If you can, I'll be glad to make some edits of there profiles.
