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)

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)

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

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?
 * Happychickenvermin (Talk 05:47, February 2, 2014 (UTC)


 * The flag of Arkhangelsk is not a duplicate. Also, I failed to notice the flag of Murmansk oblast when I searched the wiki.
 * Happychickenvermin (Talk 06:32, February 12, 2014 (UTC)


 * As I have stated before, the flag of Arkhangelsk is not a duplicate. The saltire is a different shade of blue and the crown atop the coat of arms is also different. In regards to the flag of Veneto, when I had searched for the file on this wiki, I found the old version. I uploaded mine on the same day you changed the flag. Am I supposed to check every day for minor changes such as this? I accept accountability for the duplicates of the dependent territories as I had forgotten I uploaded them on an obsolete page.

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)

Actually his ban ended at 21:19 UTC (about an hour and a half ago). It even says he is unblocked to any observer. If you look on his profile it says he is unblocked. But wikia just auto blocked his IP. I ask that you just unblock his IP. Tr0llis (talk) 22:45, February 2, 2014 (UTC)

He's not going around a block at all. He simply viewed a page, and now his IP is blocked. He's supposed to be unblocked at the moment (his user is unblocked already), it's just that his IP is blocked as a mistake. Please correct this mistake. Tr0llis (talk) 23:11, February 2, 2014 (UTC)

Great White South
Recently I have decided to begin contributing to the timeline Great White South, and have created the following pages:


 * South Africa
 * Port-aux-Français
 * Battle of Kerguelen
 * Antarctic Meltdown

I read the editorial guidelines, and I believe I did everything correctly, but if you see anything that needs to be fixed please tell me and I’ll be happy to oblige.

Also I have a few questions. Is it okay to have certain countries settle Antarctic or nearby islands they may own? For example would South Africa have a greater presence on the Prince Edward Islands? Right now I have it the same as OTL, but I look forward to hearing your thoughts on the matter. Mscoree (talk) 23:24, February 2, 2014 (UTC)

Sorry I thought the timeline was open to everyone, but if you don't want certain editors to contribute then that is fine I guess. Sorry for the trouble. Mscoree (talk) 23:46, February 2, 2014 (UTC)

Austria - Hungary
A piece of advice: Austria and Hungary are both within Austria-Hungary, so I think that the category for Austria shouldn't be categorized with Austria-Hungary. Probably should be the other way around. Anyway, that was just what I thought when i saw your edit. Mscoree (talk) 19:07, February 4, 2014 (UTC)

Stuff
Sorry that I've been very sporadic for the past while. Will hopefully give you a big reply to every note you left in the next day or so. Short one for now.

Yeah, sewage backed up in most parts of the apartment. Didn't cause too much damage - it didn't get beyond the edges of the carpet outside the bathrooms, though it got absorbed further from there, including through the bathroom wall - but we needed to get out of there fast after the complex dropped the ball on cleaning and fixing it in a major way. Can't live in sewage, eh? (Luckily tenants have a lot of rights here, and we had a lucky visit with our lawyer about immigration that this was mentioned in as an aside. Never saw a lawyer so into the idea of tearing someone a new one, lol)

So, we moved in a little over a week and a half, in winter. During which time the wife ate something stupid and had horrid food poisoning, lol. Not fun. Things only just now getting back to normal. Shouldn't elaborate more, in case the complex tries to fight it (they shouldn't, but...)

No, that timeline is not ASB, though the idea of those areas eventually becoming a Confederation is far too optimistic. As for how to adopt, you are correct, though after that you need to leave a short note asking for objections or problems on the timeline's talk page. Same principle as the note on the author's talk page.

Re:East Germany
Thank you, Nuke (^_^).

I found that is just interesting (and kinda bit ironic) that German exiled communists in the Soviet Union initially chosen the same flag that used as the rallying symbol of the nationalists & monarchists during the Weimar Republic and as the early flag of Nazi Germany (1933-1935) for the National Committee for Free Germany in 1943.

FirstStooge (talk) 10:12, February 20, 2014 (UTC)

I mean, everytime I put the template, the first paragraph of my article is like being entered, making a gap between the article title and the first paragraph. Is it because of the template? FirstStooge (talk) 17:07, February 20, 2014 (UTC)

Glad it finally fixed. Thank you very much, Nuke. I am very sorry if I bothered you. FirstStooge (talk) 23:50, February 20, 2014 (UTC)

Alright, alright XD FirstStooge (talk) 02:06, February 21, 2014 (UTC)

Signature
Hi Nuke, I was wondering if you could add a link to your talk page in your signature. It would make it easier to contact you that way. I can even add it for you if you want, whether it be "(talk)" next to your name, part of your name the second link, or make it so that the flag links you there. Let me know. Thanks, Mscoree (talk) 15:46, February 22, 2014 (UTC)

RE: SERIOUSLY?????????
Please note that the file I uploaded is labelled as a PNG version of the original file, and was necessary for a project I was working on. They are different files. Thanks, Mscoree (talk) 02:08, February 24, 2014 (UTC)

Nuke please, I can't use the one that's already uploaded. The one I uploaded is necessary for the thing I was working on. Mscoree (talk) 02:12, February 24, 2014 (UTC)

Is there anyway I can reupload the image without it getting deleted? I know it is very similar to the old one, but I made that new one specifically for a project I am working on. It's a different of fifty-seven kilobytes in the image (more than eight times the original). Mscoree (talk) 02:24, February 24, 2014 (UTC)

I needed a PNG since it makes the background transparent, and because it is higher quality. Are alternate file types not allowed? Mscoree (talk) 02:41, February 24, 2014 (UTC)

Thank you for reuploading the file. Mscoree (talk) 02:56, February 24, 2014 (UTC)

RE:You are not an admin
I am aware that I am not an administrator. I merely wanted to welcome the new user to the site, and I noticed that he had uploaded some duplicates so I gave him a tip. I didn't mean to impersonate staff in any way, and I apologize if I interfered in any way. Thanks, Mscoree (talk) 03:13, February 25, 2014 (UTC)

Is there really an issue with marking the file to it's easier to find? It's like reporting a crime. I just noticed it was a duplicate and marked it as such so you could delete it. If you really want me to not do that I guess I can, but it seems like that would be less beneficial. Again I didn't mean to impersonate staff in any way. Sorry, Mscoree (talk) 11:39, February 25, 2014 (UTC)

I'd been planning on remaking the TSPTF badge for a while now, so here it is in all of its SVG glory. Looks weird on my end. No matter. Enjoy. :P Vivaporius: "I don't need a slogan" 03:15, February 24, 2014 (UTC)

I've uploaded an improved badge in .png format that is a tad bit more presentable. I hope you like it. Vivaporius: "I don't need a slogan" 06:22, February 25, 2014 (UTC)

Also I don't mean to question you, but your replacement file looks really messed up. Mscoree (talk) 02:08, March 8, 2014 (UTC)

Can I restore this file? They're two different files on Wikipedia, and are different designs. The reason Wikipedia has two (three in total actually) is that they are all different versions. The one you uploaded for example has a simplified crown according to the description. The one you uploaded, as noted, is also really messed up and unusable. Mscoree (talk) 02:17, March 8, 2014 (UTC)

Questions
I'm wondering a few things, and I've noticed that none of the admins seem present lately or have retired, and you seem to be the next-in-line, so to speak.

So, I'd like to have the discussions I posted which aren't active deleted.

Do you think Hubei and Yunnan could federate in DD? Would it be possible for Yunnan, Hubei, and Guangxi to take on the PRC and liberate Gansu?

What I put on LG's wall;

"Also, I'm having difficulty with my timeline. I've been considering an original course I wanted to take, but didn't. Would it be possible for Western Christianity to develop between 30-330 as more along the lines of this Wiki's Equalism and Progressive Christianity ,or a primitive version at the least? I'd obviously need to do more research, but would this effect history too much for me to use the POD I have, or would I need to redo it...again?

I'm sorry, I know I've jumped around here in terms of redoing, but I have wanted to see what alternate development of Abrahamic religions would have on the world, particularly if they had Eastern influences."
