Oh.

I didn't know about the other file.

I've searching about that flag but i don't have found it.

Honest opinion
Hey Nuke,

First of all, as a relatively new member of TSPTF, I must commend you for your continuous efforts to keep the images of this wiki, which is a monumental task, in perfect order.

That being said, I think I speak for all the contributors of the wiki when I say that you slightly overestimate the importance of images on the wiki. If this was an IMGR or Instigram account, then our content would be exclusively told through images.

But it's not. This is a wiki, meaning that images are only colorful decorations for the real content, which are articles. In other words, a duplicated image is wrong, but not really a crime, unless it is seriously spammed. Why? Because no user is going to be looking at the image archives, only the articles where images are used as decoration. Similarly, images used only on a user page is not something that concerns the wiki as a whole. It's a private matter. The only time such images are going to be seen outside of their page is when someone looks at the image archives.

Also, when adding an image, no one looks at the image search. Like, ever. It's not about good practice, it's about practicality.

Obviously, I have no authority in this manner, but I wouldn't bring it up if not for myriads of users complaining of injustice. I would like to thank Feud for making Borealia possible  04:40, January 10, 2016 (UTC)

RE: Block
"Duplication"

I must assert that the image that I uploaded was not a duplicate, and that the block that was issued was unwarranted. The flag I uploaded, compared to the flag you mentioned shares two similarities:

- The nordic cross

- The colour scheme

The flag I uploaded had a different ratio compared to the other flag, along with having different colours, my flag being much brighter than the other flag. I uploaded my flag knowing that a flag of similar colour and design existed.

Accidentally uploaded a duplication
Hello Nuke,

I accidentally uploaded a duplication of of the Flag of Spain 1931-1939. I found that you have uploaded another file Flag of Spain 1931 1939.svg. I apologize for this and am letting you know so you can remove it, as well as the fact that I acknowledge my mistake.

Map Game Situation
Hi. I don't know any other high admins on this site, so I though about asking you, unless you know someone more appropriate for me to ask (I have been on this wiki fro less than 6 months). I had a little map game that I'm beginning to work on, but with the "Map Game Y/N" talk going on and the lack of new map games, I'm not sure what is the current situation regarding map games.

So I wanted to know if Map Game are still authorized on the site, or if some regulation has been put in place?

Note
Hey Nuke, you may have accidentally seen me upload two of the same files (but different extensions) by mistake. I didn't like the exact style of the original, so I decided to go back and edit it. The only problem was the original .gif file turned into a .jpeg file. I didn't expect this, and therefore got two different files. I'm sorry for any inconvinice I caused you. Hope your day and/or night goes well.

Help with the USSR (Carpe Diem)
Hello Nuke, So I've finally decided to start working more on the in my TL, Carpe Diem. However I am having a lot of problems sorting out a political atmosphere that I could see happening. Two examples being the political parties of the Soviet Union, as well as the other Presidents of the USSR. I should also mention I absolutely love your idea in New Union with the Liberal Democratic Party splitting into two new parties.

Currently, I have Alexander Yakovlev (don't know if you've heard of him, jk ;3) succeeding Gorbachev. And I wanted a more controversial figure to succeed Yakovlev following the 9/11 attacks on New York and the tumultuous beginning of the 21st Century (if you haven't noticed, very inspired by your theme in NU). For that controversial figure I chose, who is an equally controversial figure OTL. However I'm having trouble figuring out who would beat him in the 2007 election. Currently I have, but I think he'd be too young in the eyes of Soviet voters to win the election (he would be 41 in 2007).

I was wondering (since you are pretty good when it comes to Russia) if you had an people in mind who could replace Ryzhkov as the opposition party nominee and eventual president.

I'd love to hear your suggestions,

Thank you for the response, Nuke! I really appreciate it and will definitely use your suggestions.

Can't find images
Nuke,

Rather than inundating the wiki with images I know we already have, I was trying to search the wiki for the images I need. However, I can't seem to find them. So, I've come here, to the resident expert on images, to help me out.

The images I need are: the Flag of the Ottoman Empire as close to 1520 as possible, and a map of their exent at that time.

Here they are in wikipedia commons: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Flag_of_the_Ottoman_Empire.svg

Hey again,

So, following your suggestion I was able to find the flag I was looking for. However, I was not able to find the map of the territorial changes, so I assumed it wasn't on the wiki. The link you posted on my talk page was a red link.

Hopefully it's cleared up now,

File:No_image restoration request
Hi Nuclear,

You recently deleted a file named "File:No_image", which was uploaded by myself, under the reasoning that it was a "broken file".

It is in fact not at all. It is a blank image to act as a place-holder when no image is available, for example, here. It is used for formatting purposes, to ensure consistency in text placement.

Please restore this file, as my reasoning for uploading it is sound. —  The  Tim   Man  (TSW • AH • MGW • Contribs ) 22:27, March 1, 2016 (UTC)


 * So then what do you suggest I place in its stead? —  The  Tim   Man  (TSW • AH • MGW • Contribs ) 22:38, March 1, 2016 (UTC)


 * Also, to illustrate its usefulness, please see my Sandbox on Wikipedia here. Note how on the two boxes on the left, the No_image.png file is present. This makes the text automatically shift to the bottom, which is consistent with the second box to the right, which has an image of the same height. Now, compare that with the right-most box, which has no image. The text is in the centre, and is not consistent with the rest of the boxes. No_image.png is used all over Wikipedia to rectify situations such as this. My use of the image is wholly justified, unless you can suggest a better alternative. —  The  Tim   Man  (TSW • AH • MGW • Contribs ) 22:41, March 1, 2016 (UTC)

Automotive Industry in Russian America
I guess the early Russian automakers will flee to Alaska, only for them to be caught up in the civil war. Alaska would have a decent automotive industry, but not as big as those of America's, of course. The industry had to compete with the US auto industry, as well as the flooding of Russian vehicles in Alaska. I guess the Yugo would be better appreciated in Alaska.

Any suggestions?

Thanks for the copy edit
Hey there again, thanks for the copy edit on the introduction of Alaskan Buddhism

I feel bad for not being able to write the stories, I talked about real life has gotten in the way, but when there time I will get to them. I am going to put them in my profile page first when I write them.

I feel silly for coming up with more topics when I haven't finished my earlier one but I am thinking too just now about Orthodoxy and Islam in Alaska. Orthodoxy should play a founational role in the years after the Spanish war in creating settler communties. Of course the New World did tend to tear up established old world religions but I think Orthodoxy is at least first going to be important. Old Belivers would be coming too and going for the most remote areas eventually.

Orthodoxy like it did in the Old World is going to incresaingly be the arm for the Czar's mantaince of power, leading many Alaskans to question faith, urban liberals will turn secular but there others will make their own churches. Protostants will have an appel but I think Russian style breakways will occur too.

The end of the Empire is going to throw the church into dissary in Alaska, suddenly lost without offical protection, new churches I think will be made in this period. Orthodoxy might appel to the pesduo fascists in Alaska during the time of division. The Church is going to change as the USSR forms and it finds itself to be the defacto heir of Moscow Orthdoxoy, I could see Russian Orthdoxy becoming a more decentralized dynamic group without political control, however white emigrees will try to keep the church the way it is. Certainly the new partirach will take  residence in Alaska

After reunifcation the church will have a resurgence and will become a key part of Alaska's unique cold War Identity and many will identity "Orthodox Alaska" as being the True Russia, and the USSR as being the fake, "godless" corrupted Russia. Kind of like a situation with China and Taiwain, the church will lobby for agressive anti Soviet policies and will be trying resuce people from the USSR.

After the Cold War the church will likely surge in membership due to euphoria and evidence of God's will and intervention and the Church being based in the New World for so long will take it upon itself to rechristanaize the homeland. The Patriach might move back, there will be conflict however though between a resurgent church in Russia and the church is Alaska, I think. After all Russians who stayed in Russia will want to see the center of their church remain at home but Alaskans will want to remain the center of power.

Just an idea.

Also I am thinking for the story about the crisis that will have multiple themes, femnism will be apparant as the crisis emphasises some existing problems in the character's marriage but the Alaskan Soviet brother hate will take a center stage. Her Husband's brother will be in the Soviet Navy, eventually I think in the story the husband's grief about his relatives in the USSR will bring him and the woman character closer back together but the relationship will be changed because she will have to save him from despair, and comfort him.

Hey Nuke is there anyway to recover internet data from a particular point in time? Around 6 A,M I had a written a good page in my profile pertaining to the the Cuban Missle Crisis narrative but the browser crashed. I guess its gone, but I just wanted to know if there was any retrival mechanism

Because even though I know what I wrote I don't think I can write it in the exact same way and I really liked it.Stepintime (talk) 11:41, March 20, 2016 (UTC)

Hey just wanted to let you know I went on a tanget on Ukraine's talk page, I wrote a proposal for the article of Ukraine's history since the 1830's. I wanted to explore how Ukraine might have been different with the existance of Alaska, you can read and see what you think. If its not what you had in mind no worries.

Though in particular I would think that Ukraine would have a greater cultural signifcance to the world as in this time Russian civilzation was more succesful there would be a willigness by Russians not in Russia to look at Ukraine and Kiev as the starting point for Russian History.

Also too think about the Ukranian Cossacks, think about the kind of cowboys and herders they could be, further changing modern culture. I was thinking while I was writing all the ways people would think differently and the kind of movies involving Ukranian people because of Alaska.

I am still slowly working on the memiors too on my profile page

Stepintime (talk) 20:40, April 8, 2016 (UTC)

Now that you deleted the proposal on the talk page is there any way to get it back ... I didn't save it anywhere else.

Stepintime (talk) 02:14, April 9, 2016 (UTC)

I mean sorry for the error, but I thought the talk page was the place to write those things...

Its alright, I see how it could mess up a talk page but I am glad its not all gone.

I guess I need to brush on my Russian History, I do remember the Russian empire disregarded the Ukranian nationality but I thought there had been more activity aganist the Ukranians. T

Hmm. I would still like to see detail with Ukraine as long as it is creative content because its position in this world would be different somehow being the eventual source of so many people in our wonderful country of Alaska. But the points of difference would be less than I thought, except more people might leave at the turn of the 20th century and some great people from Ukraine might end up in Alaska. However Ukranian culture in Alaska can defiently be elaborated on.

Maybe though because of the forutune seeking aspect Ukranians would leave before 1890 but then it might be hard to trace them in modern society because they were all counted as Russian.

I feel that much what I wrote could be used for a general Russian empire article (modified of course), what do you think? I think an exploration of how colonozation would have changed fedual society would be cool (I mean interesting). That part I think is really important for this timeline, the old world side.

Cossacks would be brought at first by war but then might be left for themselves afterwards, I could imagine them being used as something like rangers or law enforcment in certain areas. In the most isolated areas they would be herders and I could imagine going rouge for numerous reasons- personal independence, economic gain and eventually politics. In eventual struggles aganist natives they would be deployed, (though I think some a minority of Cossacks might fight along side natives)

Cossacks I think too would often venture over the American, Mexcian maybe even Borelian borders remebering this stuff was even more up in the air before the Coloumbia purchase. They would have rivarlies with other gangs of horsemen. All of the possibilietes man...

Just as I could see Cossacks going rouge (maybe even joining with cowboys of other nationalities) I could see little battles on mountainsides between gangsters and Cossacks guarding the border and I think it is quite plausible given the actual expanionsim and rouge independence of the west in this era. I think the civilian Cossack communties would be today seen as Alaska's first democratic society in contrast to the rulership of the Alaska Krai.

Cossacks would of course be around into the civil war, and I think they would be part of all sides- early on many would go with whites but given the nature of Cossacks I think eventually most would go to the blue camp- because the Cossacks at the end of the day were their own society of people and the blues would be more accepting of that then the whites I think.

Cossack would be an integral part of what it means to be an Alaskan

Then too think of all of the media and culture that would be produced because of that earlier image too, both in Alaska and in its neighbors. Wow.

With your permission, I would like to put proposals for Cossacks, and additions to the Ukraine and Russian Empire articles.

I just have so much stuff in my head right now about this,

One more thing-

I see you talked with others about the United States but just remember this that even white the United States is powerful with its destiny cut off by Mexico and Russia to the west coast it would not be our America. Not as complete or diverse, still strong but not a culture as great as in the real world. So much of America's identity from Hollywood to Silcon vally comes from the Pacific Coast. And think of route 66- the dream of going east to west. America would not have many as east European immigrants- why would they go to the U.S when they have their own New World?

That grand dream won't live here.

Much of that now will belong to her neighbors

But in this world the Anglo - Americans won't have as much as the cultural domiance of the world as they did in the real world, it will be more cut up- and North America will feel a bit more like South America and Europe just for being cut up.

Also Mexico would be a more stable regime with all of that land and opprotunity surley but not my field of epxerties

Thanks for saving the stuff, and for having these talks this is fascinating.

RA Ideas
Hello, Nuke. I have some ideas about computer games in Russian America

Possibly helping with the United States:0:0 in Russian America
Hello Nuke,

First I want to start off by saying congratulations for having Russian America as a featured alternate history candidate. From what I've seen, it most likely will be a featured alternate history! Anyways enough of my adoration for you as a alternate historian, onto the subject at hand. From what I've seen of what you have written is that the United States:0:0 is unable to fulfill OTL's because of the Russians in  and  (as well as an alliance with the Mexico:Mexican Empire:0). Since there is very little written about the history United States in the timeline, I was wondering if I could potentially elaborate more on the nations history following Russian Empire:Russia's:0 colonization of the.

Let me know if you wouldn't mind!

23:54, March 20, 2016 (UTC)

I was thinking of working on a Presidents list for the United States. Considering how quite a few Prez' in OTL were born in areas that aren't American territory ATL. But also on how certain figures whom are American in OTL and how them not being Americans ATL would affect the United States. A great example is, (Igor Vaare:0:0 in Russian America), who is one of my many heroes in American History. But him not being appointed Chief Justice in ATL would have a huge impact on the Civil Rights Movement as he was Chief Justice during the crucial ruling in . I would also help if you could give me a quick run down of events relating to the United States in Russian America.

00:36, March 21, 2016 (UTC)

Thanks a bunch for the footnotes. After reading them, a couple of ideas popped into my head.

1.) Since Russia supported the Union during the Civil War in OTL and since they have a direct border with the United States ATL, could the Civil War end earlier because of direct Russian support? Prob not because of the threat of war with Britain. Or the war could end earlier because the Union doesn't have to worry about defending the West.

2.) I've heard of the and maybe because of that mishap and the embarrassment from the Alaskan Missile Crisis:0:0, could JFK have lost his reelection bid in 1964 (if he wouldn't be assassinated and if he would of won in 1960 because of the AMC occuring in late-1960 to mid 1961).

Also, in regards to Earl Warren, I could see Eisenhower (who appointed Warren following the death of Fred Vinson, an open segregationist FYI, in 1953) appointing someone who is either moderate or even liberal with a very conservative "rule of law" belief (part of the reason why Eisenhower appointed Warren). I'll look into it and come back to you with information regarding it.

I've also been considering working on the election maps for the United States (considering the different electoral college ATL). Especially since certain Democratic and Republican strong holes wouldn't exist (i.e. states like, , and )

Venusian Haven
Hey Nuke, I'm FP, I've been around for ages now (albeit inconsistently), but I believe we have never directly had contact before, so hi there!

Recently I've found myself at a bit of a loss on how to contribute to the wiki other than general organisation and undoing vandals. Flicking through timelines to read, I remembered Imp telling me the funny story of how he managed to get at odds with both you and LG within only a week of creating his account, due to his over-eagerness to contribute to your timeline Venusian Haven. That prompted me to head over there and get reading, because I’ve realised that’s one that I've never given a proper look-over before. First up I must say: excellent work, I really like it. It’s definitely more the type of thing I enjoy, being a person who is also very interested in space, physics and environmental PoDs. But (inevitably) it has thrown up a lot of questions. Bear in mind, all of these are pure curiosity that I have not managed to deduce from reading - I am not trying to catch you out or tell you you’re wrong or anything, I’m just sharing thoughts.


 * First of all, I am curious about how so many people now inhabit these colonies on Venus after only thirty years or so – did they all make it to the planet via spaceflight or are has the majority of the population arrived through natural population growth on Venus? Because even if only a quarter of the New Kamchatka population originally came from Earth, the cost to ferry two hundred thousand people millions of miles through space is extortionate. I was just curious roughly what percentage of the colonists made the journey, the rest being born on Venus presumably.


 * Next up, I noticed the section of Neith is decidedly bare – is this because you haven’t got round to writing it yet (or getting someone else to) or is it due to the space agencies of Earth not being particularly interested in what the moon has to offer, hence little exploration has been made?


 * Finally, more of a suggestion rather than a question. I've noticed (in typical althistory fashion) that mostly the only aspects of Venus and Neith that have been touched on are the nations and colonies that have formed there. Since the climate of Venus and the existence of Neith are so drastically different from OTL, I think some of the more natural process of both bodies deserve some more explanation. I see some work has begun on animals and plants and the like, but there has been not much on the physical and environmental properties of Venus and its moon.

All of these questions are a precursor to my main point – I would very much like to help you out and reboot the timeline if you wish. I see you've been busy with Russian America recently, so I would totally understand if you wanted me to go for it alone, or didn't want me to touch it at all. I just feel that the concept is so good and what you have so far is so promising that it deserves to be fleshed out and tarted up a bit. I'm sure you’ll agree, and I hope you won’t take any offence by me saying that there is still a lot of work to do, but as I was saying at the start of this message, I've been looking for something to do, and I’d be very happy to contribute (mainly on the second and third of my points). I have several more ideas that I have withheld because I did not want to overburden you, so if you want to hear them let me know, because I’d love to have a good chat with you about it. This type of TL is more my area of expertise, so I hope I can be useful.

(Also thanks for fixing the template on my talk, I was meaning to do that at some point.)

FP ( Now 10% edgier!!! ) 12:23, April 9, 2016 (UTC)

Okay, totally understand that you are busy, and I shall respect your wishes and hold back for now. If you ever do decide to pick up the TL again, just let me know and I'll be more than happy to assist. Thank you for answering my questions, I appreciate it!

Maps proposals
Hey nuke,

With your permission I would like to use your maps as a basline for making maps related to my Buddhism and Cossack articles, the Buddhist map would should percentage of Buddhist affilation by governate while my map of cossacks would show where remaining holds are by circles.

Also I am interested in making a map showing the development of coloniliasm in Alaska, but that would need to done carefully to accuratley concide with the wiki artcles,

Thanks for considering,

RE: Duplication ER
Hi there, I am writing to inform you that there may well be a glitch or error with the image search system. The seal that I have been given a duplication warning for returned no results. I was surprised, so I tried searching the letters na (should have huge hits as they are the first letters of Nazi), and again yielded no results. The only search term that gave me any results for images already on the website was Capitol (as in US Capitol Building). Although I knew there was a large chance of duplication, I had no choice but to continue as I could find no records. I implore you to take this into account before you issue me with a ban if such an occurance happens again.

Yours,

Okay, will do.

Yours,

I am currently testing what you advised. I deleted the seal of new york from my politician's page, and now want to put the image above the infobox. I opened the add image section, and searched for Seal_of_New_York.svg, which yielded no results. Any advice on what to do next?

Yours,

Copy and paste
Good day, I am making a timeline of history for my Alt History TL. I am including my alt history along with real history. I am using Wikipedia to find national timelines and what they have is what I am basically going to put. Is it fine if I just copy and paste what they put in their timelines and at it to mine? It is still hard work and I am basically going to put the same thing anyways.-Lieutenant113 (talk) 01:38, May 13, 2016 (UTC)

Very well, it makes sense. But I had already done it for a few things, must  delete that stuff or can I just go on and never do it again? (it wasn't that much). Lieutenant113 (talk) 02:20, May 13, 2016 (UTC)

New Timeline Idea and Russian Civil War
Hello

Since it appears to me you know quite a lot about Russian history, I could really use some help regarding the Russian Civil War. My latest idea, Roosevelt's Return, involves President Theodore Roosevelt surviving into 1920, running for president, winning the GOP nomination and thus winning the election. Due to his expansionist views, I felt that he would do more about the Russian Civil War than OTL President Harding. So, here's what I was wondering.
 * How much involvement could the U.S. (and other former Entente members) commit to the RCW in 1921?
 * Is it too late (1921) to change the outcome of the RCW?
 * Is there a potential of the U.S.S.R. being delayed, however being somewhat more unstable as a result (and potentially being even more unprepared to fight Hitler)?

Feel free to add anything else to what I might have missed. Any and all input is appreciated regarding this topic.

Thank you,

King Washington and his glory!
Hello, so I am making a new TL in which George Washington becomes a king and the US becomes a monarchy. Octivian Marius is saying that it is ASB. But United Republic didn't say anything like that.

Inkscape Help
So recently I downladed inkscape, and it has been confusing and hard to use, I was wondering sience you are a Inkscape God if you could give me some advice. Also when I was on wikipedia the other day I saw that the germamy EU locator map was made by a nuccelar vaccum, is that you?

Wow that map guide looks great and I plan on unveiling a map soon. I wouldn't really consider myself a map buff, more of a coat of arms/flag buff. Do you have a guide for those? I would consider one of your best coat of arms works. How exactly did you make it?

I would just like to show you the first image i was able to create using inkscpae.

Flags for Russian America
Hello Nuke, Just wanted to let you know I have a couple of flags made for Russian America. They include a Flag of Absaroka, a Flag of North Texas, and an altered logo for the Warsaw Pact (since from what I see, Prussia:0:0 is canon and all). Let me know what you think!







22:01, May 19, 2016 (UTC)

I'm glad you like them! I had them made up for a while, but I never got around to uploading them. I plan on uploading maps for U.S. states soon, but I am curious. Do you plan on making the U.S. state maps similar to the Alaskan governorate maps? 'Cause I was just gonna upload a .png of the .svg that you gave me with the state colored red and the rest of the Union colored grey.

Just wondering what your idea is for that.

My newtimeline
Hey Nuke,

I have decided to start a new project I have been thinking about for months, about Asian piracy in colonial times. The POD begins with the succesful capture of Manila by a Chinese pirate who historically was very shrewd and calculating. I bet this would kick start a new period of piracy in Asia and indirectly exploration. Sometimes I just get ideas and I feel like I have to use them.

I have basically used your editoral guidelines to create mine with some abridgments, I think your editoral guidelines are effective, however I am sorry for not asking you permission about this ealirer. If there is any problem I will change it immedietly

In the meantime I have finished the Cossack's article, though I will likely make little additons and edits in the future. I am still doing the stories too,

Thanks for setting a good example here,

Re: Duplication alerts & my 1 week suspension
Dear NuclearVacuum, I am here to talk about my work & your constant abuse of power in which you try to keep "duplication" under control. I hope you read this and could you please take the time to go through your whole talk page. I, along with the others I represent, would like to ask you as diplomatically as possible if you could please either stop enforcing such benign rules (people just copy + paste, go deal with that) or just resign from being an admin. Nobody cares about duplication, it doesn't harm anything.

I have enformed other Admins I'm comfortable in talking to of your abuse of power. I kinda understand you just want this Wiki to stay whole, and I understand to an extent where you are coming from. I know it says not to delete previous posts on my talk page, but I am considering the option. I would like to not have any "warnings" or "strikes" on my page (and I would appreciate having my items restored to how they were made). It would also be nice if you just loosended up a bit. I'm just trying to make quality content like anyone else on this Wiki. I know you've seen everyone else's post, but I needed to get this off my chest since I was banned for a week over pointless things that no one will ever care about. Best regards (but do consider what I've said). TbombTheAltHistorian (talk) 00:09, May 23, 2016 (UTC)TbombTheAltHistorian

Venusian Haven Ideas
Just some ideas for Venusian haven to get off my chest
 * 1) In the early days of US Venus have homesteading become a thing again.
 * 2) I know it might be to early for this but have "Cassini Nationialism" which advocates unity between all the European settlements. (To small to early proabley)
 * 3) I plan on using my new Inkscape skills to make a Cassini CoA, and maybe a Kennady one with your premisson.

My Inkscape skills are deffintly not up to the standerds that you would like for the coat of arms. About Homesteding, Alaska offically stoped Homesteding in 1988. In order to gain more colonists I could see the Homesteding act being reintroduced. Also land speculation might become common in parts of Venus.

I was able to complete a Coat of Arms for Cassini alltough it will require some maintenance. The stars symbolize orion. How exactly do I get the stuff outside the border to disappear.

Yes orions belt should be included in the Green field, but I tired to keep the stars in accourdance with the number of regions. (One will need to be added).

Done, can I add it to the page.

Sadly my Inkscape skills have not reached that point, I would be OK if you added supporters, I was considering the supporters used on the Italain CoA. (Due to me Being a Italain Wank)

Venusian Haven Ideas- Again
I just had a quick idea to make a conflict on Venus taking place between Iraqi Hilal and American New Flordia as a minor theater of the Iraq war. It would be a quick conflict that eventually leads to the US having to pay reperations to the Hilal province according to the VH. In accordance with the Venus treaty the maxium sized vessel involved will be a Patrol boat and the land forces will remain extremely small.

Just to clarify I know the Venus treaty was made to prevent ALL wars, not shrink them. Basically my plan was the US sends a patrol boat to monitor Hilal, and then a service member gets shot leading to the US to occupy one of Hilals cities. The VH then would intervene and force the USA to pay reparations to the Province of Hilal, not Iraq itself. I could see the US violating the Venus treaty in this way because the US already violates so many international treaties in real life (Human Rights mostly). Any way considering the Iraq war is butterflied out of existence is there any other war that I could create following that plot. Also I'm sorry I responded so late I've gone Inkscape crazy.

Divided Iraq
Hi Nuc! How are you? :) I would like you help me with something. In my timeline in the spanish wiki, I put that Iraq was divided after a civil war into 3 independent states: Kurdistan, a Sunni State and a Shiite State. Which you think will be the best names for these last 2 states? I have some problems to find appropriate names jeje Regards and thanks! --Katholico (talk) 02:27, June 9, 2016 (UTC)


 * Oh I see. Jazira is not bad, but I think I prefer Iraq for the Sunni. And Basra for Shia.
 * About the cities, what state should keep Baghdad? Or is better if the city is under United Nations control?
 * Thanks ver much Nuc for the help!!! :D Regards! --Katholico (talk) 05:10, June 11, 2016 (UTC)


 * I forgot to respond this xD First at all, no problem and thanks :D I think that I will follow that idea for Baghdad.
 * Other thing: As I said, Kurdistan also gain his independence after the civil war. But the country has territorial claims in Turkey, Syria and Iran. What you think will be the relations between the new Kurdistan and these nations over the lands dispute? Regards! --Katholico (talk) 01:55, June 17, 2016 (UTC)


 * I see. Well, there will be some differences with OTL, like a Syria and Iran more democratic (I forgot metion that xD). Turkey is the same, so, I think that the situation will be as you said, like Armenia. Thanks again :) Regards --Katholico (talk) 04:07, June 17, 2016 (UTC)

RE: Chilean Patagonia
HI :D Sure, I would glad to help. From what you says, I assume that some british and/or french ships will raid the chilean coasts, so the Chilean navy can't mobilize and the government is forced to accept peace, right? I think that the best moment for that is after the Admiral Manuel Blanco Encalada's failed expedition, in which he signed the Treaty of Paucarpata.

Yes, after losing the Atacama region, the government will focus his attention to the south. Control the Magellan strait, and an early Araucanía annexation. The agriculture and livestock will be the center of the economy, and Chile possibbly export to the russian territories like we did in OTL with California and Australia. And yes, Cuyo could join Chile due to the civil wars in Argentina.

About how far the expansion will be, honestly, I'm not sure. Maybe Chile can secure lands until the, but you have to remember the Mapuche population who lives in the northern Patagonia. Both Chile and Argentina need to defeat them before annex the territory. I hope this help :) Ask me again if I fail to explain something xD Regards! --Katholico (talk) 03:25, June 16, 2016 (UTC)


 * Good to hear that ^_^
 * Well, a war between both countries almost happen, yes, but in 1978 and the dispute was over the possesion of 3 little but strategic islands in the Beagle Channel: The . In the RA timeline, this scenario would not the same obviously, due to the early chilean control over the Patagonia. However, I think that an war will certainly happen in the XIX century. If Chile es able to recover after the war against the Confederation, and continues his development like in OTL thanks to the new territories, then yes, I think we can defeat Argentina like we did with Peru and Bolivia in the OTL . Maybe with this Chile can gain territories to the (at south to the Colorado river). Regards! --Katholico (talk) 18:34, June 16, 2016 (UTC)


 * Oh, actually, I thought you said that xD Was for that I suggested Rio Negro jeje Anyway, I think that Chile need to win a war for reach that place. Regards! --Katholico (talk) 21:28, June 16, 2016 (UTC)


 * Dont' worry ^_^ And exactly :) Regards --Katholico (talk) 21:56, June 16, 2016 (UTC)


 * I've been thinking about this too. Despite the great size, I don't think that Chile should adopt a federal system, but become more decentralized than OTL, and this should occur in middle of the XX Century, maybe, in response to the social protests in Magallanes and Patagonia. Regards! Even, I think the possibility about move the capital from Santiago to Conception or Valvidia (maybe after the 1960 earthquake).
 * You mean about the Argentine's claims or a possible chilean claim over the islands? Regards --Katholico (talk) 23:25, June 16, 2016 (UTC)


 * Oh I see :) Well, I think that depend how much Chile is close to the United Kingdom. In OTL, the country is a traditional ally (which is reflected in the chilean support in the OTL Falklands War), but in your timeline the things between Chile and UK maybe change with the british intervention in the War against the Confederation. If this bad situation between them continues, then, yes, is possible that Chile will keep the claims over the islands. Regards! --Katholico (talk) 00:53, June 17, 2016 (UTC)


 * Hi again xD I was thinking, and I can suggested that only the city of will be annexed by the Confederation, leaving  as chilean territory? By the year of the war, the Atacama province still did not exist, and all the north was part of the Coquimbo province. Only if you are agree of course. If not, there is no problem :)
 * BTW, I will work in a possible list of the chilean presidents if you need help later with that :) Regards! --Katholico (talk) 04:43, June 17, 2016 (UTC)


 * Ok, no problem :)
 * Yeah, is very possible that many people from Argentina in this TL would be from Chile :)
 * I was thinking if the loss of Atacama would affect the destiny of some important chileans from that place, but I found that by 1937 many of them lived in other places, so, at the end they will be still chileans and maybe would settle in La Serena/Coquimbo.
 * About the list of presidents, I think that even with the defeat in the war, the conservative government will remain in power, and Manuel Bulnes will be elected president in 1841. However, the Liberal opposition possibly will grow faster than OTL, and by 1851, a moderate conservative will be elected as consensus candidate, instead the ultra-conservative Manuel Montt. I will work in the next presidents now :) Regards --Katholico (talk) 21:08, June 17, 2016 (UTC)


 * Jeje I see :) Yes, I think is possible that Néstor Kirchner will be president of this alternative Chile.
 * BTW, you know now when will took place the potential war between Chile and Argentina? I suggested before the OTL date of War of the Pacific, but I don't if you already decided about this. Regards and thanks! --Katholico (talk) 01:48, June 19, 2016 (UTC)


 * Well, my original idea about Cuyo was the they join to Chile during the civil wars period in Argentina (specially in ). However, given that now Argentina also lost the war against the Peru-Bolivian Confederation maybe in the next uprising against the 's government, the Mendoza and San Juan provinces will take the opportunity to join to Chile. Argentina will be too busy with the civil war to take actions against this secession, at least, for a while. If the unitarian became the leader of Argentina after the De Rosas defeat, then, he can lead his army against Chile for recover these provinces, nd he ultimately will be defeated (leading probably a new civil war in Argentina), but I think that Chile only would gain part of the Patagonia and still we will ned other war for complete the task.
 * About the Paraguayan War, the conflict was detoned by the situation in Uruguay and if the things continues similar to OTL (which I think that is very possible, even with the changes in Argentina), then the war will also happen here. I think that a second war between Chile-Argentina (if we follow what I said before), will be occur later. I hope with works. Regards! --Katholico (talk) 05:56, June 19, 2016 (UTC)


 * I think that the first war during 1840's (De Rosas will fall maybe in 1843 more or less in this scenario).
 * Thanks :D I really liked the map! If you need any other help with your timeline just let me know ^_^ Regards! --Katholico (talk) 05:07, June 20, 2016 (UTC)

Upload Issues
Hey Nuke

Recently I tried to upload 2 files i made on inkscape and I got this message: This SVG file contains an illegal namespace '&ns_ai;' Do you know what it means and how i can upload a photo now? thanks

I found acool website t hat has SVG coats of arms that wikimedia doesnt have so i used aspects from that.

I found that it was a issue with the code, but beacuse of messing with the code it causes my whole image to be deleted ive decided to just upload them as pngs. Thanks for telling me to make a copy beacuse i wouldve destroyed it if i didnt.

Russian America Update
Hey Nuke,

I'm leaving this message here to get sort of an idea of where you stand on ideas in regards to the United States:0:0 and other elements in Russian America.


 * 1) ) Conservative Democrats and Liberal Republicans: Last time we talked, you said this idea was headcanon and I'm wondering if you made any further decision on the matter. I love this idea so much I actually had it in mind for Carpe Diem (then I made it so the Republicans collapsed in 1924 and were replaced by the Progressives, lol).
 * 2) ) Eisenhower's New Chief Justice: Another topic we discussed was who Eisenhower would appoint to the Supreme Court in 1953, since is Alaska:Alaskan:0. I have Associate Justice  in mind to fill that slot, considering he was the leader of the liberal wing of the court during his whole tenure. Though the problem I see is that he was appointed to the court in 1956 and he would be 47 if he were to be appointed Chief Justice. I really like him and wonder what you think of him filling Warren's slot ATL.
 * 3) ) Other Elements in the TL: In regards to other elements of the TL, I'm thinking of making articles for events relating to the United States. These include the treaty that ended tensions between Mexico:0:0 and the United States:0:0 over (akin to the ), the Texas Revolution:0:0, and the Canadian Revolution:0:0. I would also like to get a general idea for said articles.

Hope to hear from you soon, 02:04, June 21, 2016 (UTC)

I'm excited that you're all in with canonizing the political switcheroo. You're alignments of the parties seems fine to me. While the GOP would be to the left on a most issues, they'd probably be moderate on issues like campaign finance reform (akin to today's centrist Democrats). There would definitely being members of the GOP that would be considered socialist (can't say Bernie Sanders because he's Alaskan).

I'll most likely go with Brennan, he's very liberal and I agree with a lot of his views and he fits the glove for the many court decisions made during that time (i.e. Brown v. Board of Education).

Figured a more powerful and Russian inspired Mexico would refuse to relinquish a rebellious state so easily. I think the date of the treaty signed between Mexico:0:0 and the United States:0:0 would take place in 1837, or something right after the "end" of the Texas Revolution. Though, given the fact that Mexico ATL is more powerful during this time, maybe Texas' revolution would continue into 1837.

I figured as much with the Canada's. You're right, "revolution" may not be the best of words, haha. More of a war of independence.

Message me your ideas whenever you can, I'd love to hear what they are!

Thank you very much, 07:13, June 22, 2016 (UTC)

Hey Nuke,

Just figured I'd let you know I'm going to be working on the rest of the U.S. states need flushed out articles in Russian America. I hope you have the time to look at them when I complete them. Also, you mentioned how you have a few suggestions in mind and I'm interested in what they are.

Hope to hear from you soon.

22:55, July 10, 2016 (UTC)

Thanks so much! I'm glad you like them!

Don't worry about it, Jefe. We all have our bad days.

I doubt Van Buren would be able to win reelection in 1840, due to the at the time.

I also agree that Polk would never be President ATL. With relations between Mexico:0:0 and the United States:0:0 improving following the purchase of Texas, as well as the fact that the U.S. would technically be involved in the Canadian War of Independence, I doubt he would receive much public support. I think Americans by this time would be perfectly content with being an Atlantic power. If fact, I constantly think, "Why did we annex northern Mexico? It's a bunch of deserts! We could of had the beauty that is Vancouver Island and southern British Columbia, but instead we got this? First this and then Alaska instead of Cuba? Ugh." I think that's why I love Russian America so much. So I think a presidency is pretty likely. Actually, ever since I discovered Russian America, I've been pondering that idea of if a Polk Presidency would even happen with Mexico being more powerful and allied with the. I was actually thinking about messaging you about it, but I never did. Great mind think alike, am I right?

Speaking of the being butterflied away, I'm curious about the career of a certain honest Illinoisan. I don't know if you know this, but actually served as a member of the  from Illinois's 7th district in the  (1847-1849). During his tenure, he was an outspoken critic of the war with Mexico and it caused him to lose his reelected bid in a landslide. With their being no war with Mexico, I'm wondering if his Congressional career would continue into the 1850's. He might even win the the nomination for Vice President (which he was on the for, but lost to ). Maybe him being a congressman would help him in winning his bid for the Senate against Stephen Douglass. I still think he'd be Prez, no doubt about it. As a great admirer of Lincoln I would definitely be willing to create an article about him and flush it out. Also, still about Lincoln, would you be open to maybe having him avoid his assassination, or would you want to stick with the "status quo" until 1964 when we get Rocky? Let me know what you think.

It regards to other Presidents like the Roosevelts and Eisenhower, I'm definitely in favor of keeping them (especially since I admire all three of them). I have my own sandbox dedicated to Russian America with a few templates made on it if you would like to check it out. I think I'll also start making a list of Presidents for RA as well.

Hope I answered your questions. Apologies for the tangent I went on, I just love History so much! That's actually why I'm getting a Teaching degree in History.

01:37, July 11, 2016 (UTC)

Oh, no, I'm not saying Lincoln being on the ticket in 1856 would change anything, I'm just saying the likelihood of him receiving the nomination for VP would be more likely because of his longer congressional career. It may get the Reps a few more votes (not electoral ones) in the Midwest, but I agree it probably wouldn't change the outcome. Aw, oh well, at least he escapes being killed in Carpe Diem! I was just wondering if you were interested in the idea. If you haven't noticed, I love Honest Abe.

I agree that the presidential list wouldn't change until after the Alaskan Missile Crisis:0:0 after JFK gets blamed for the whole B-52 incident down in North Carolina. So I'll leave it the same. It regards to Nixon and Carter, they'd probably stay loyal to their parties. Nixon would just follow the wind wherever it's blowing and Carter may be bullied by the Christian Right because of his "anti-Israel" views. Reagan I think would stay in the Democratic Party (which he left in 1964 OTL because of LBJ and Goldwater). If he becomes President, he may try to "reform" the Democrats so they're not batshit insane in regards to race. I actually like the idea of Reagan being elected in 1976 and being assassinated in 1981. Also, you forgot about William McKinley, ;).

I also like the idea of a Mario Cuomo Presidency, he'd probably succeed whoever Reagan's VP is following the 1988 election. Hey no need to feel sorry, I'm from CT and live right near NYC, so I'm all for New Yorkers being President. O. M. Goodness. That would be a terrifying outcome! And I thought post-Civil War Democrats had dark days, but this is ridiculous.

I'm actually heading to late classes so I'll finish this off with a brief list of Presidents following the AMC.


 * John F. Kennedy (D) (1961-1965)
 * Nelson Rockefeller (R) (1965-1973)
 * William Scranton? (R) (1973-1977)
 * Ronald Reagan (D) (1977-1981) assassinated
 * ??? (D) (1981-1989)
 * Mario Cuomo (R) (1989-1997)

Can't wait to hear, or read, what you have to say!

21:36, July 11, 2016 (UTC)

Really? I had no idea! I loved Tom Hanks before knowing this, but now there's more of a reason! But yes, I do love Lincoln. I actually have a portrait of him to my left on my wall! I'm obsessed with him.

That's fine. I was just curious if you'd be open to an idea like that.

Yeah, the whole AMC being an American embarrassment instead of a Soviet embarrassment would also contribute to JFK's downfall. For the sake of arguments, and for the sake of the scenario, JFK just avoids being assassinated. I was going to mention a kind of conspiracy thing, but decided against it. Haha.

While, yes, Schweiker was a very liberal individual; he seemed to be a kind of "" like. I mean he seems like the person who would see which way the wind blows in order to benefit himself. He might try to accelerate his political career by accepting the nomination for VP. Though, with the GOP being more left ATL, I doubt he'd have any reason to leave.

I think more U.S. Presidents being from New York makes a lot of sense. Since we would never get California ATL, New York would probably continue being that bastion of prominent politicians (that is until Florida:0:0s population skyrockets.

Scranton was the first person who came to mind. An equally liberal member of the GOP who clashed with Goldwater for the nomination in 1964. I was thinking of George Romney (you know, Midwesterner and all), but since Borealia:0:0 is dominated by Mormons, he'd probably be a Borealian himself. Also considering you have his son as the current Prime Minister.

01:56, July 12, 2016 (UTC)

As a liberal in the United States, it should be required to love Honest Abe. Goodness, I sound like Trump's son in regards to that, haha. That's one thing that actually irritates me about Dixiecans (southern conservative Republicans), they cloak themselves in Lincoln's coat and say stuff like, "We're the party of Lincoln!" Even though I think Lincoln would be mortified at what the GOP has become.

That'd actually be pretty interesting to consider with JFK. Though it could be just an assassination attempt that conspiracy theorists linked to the Alaskan mafia over his failure in dealing with the Alaskan Missile Crisis:0:0.

Yeah, Schweiker seems to be out of the picture. While I don't deny Reagan would still be conservative ATL, I think he'd try to tie himself in with "southern populism". He'd probably be quite on race to not upset either side of the argument.

Haha, you have the benefit of having lived in both and. Though I lived in when I was 4, so ha! I've heard of Crist. Though, I don't know much about him. I'd see him being the incumbent President right now. I think Cuomo's VP would win the 1996 election and then we'd get a conservative Democrat for 2001-2009. With Crist in '08 being a Rep.

I'm going to start adding info to the current state pages I've made, so you can check them out for anything you want to change.

19:23, July 12, 2016 (UTC)

I sure am! I hope you found the list I've made in my Russian America Sandbox and are enjoying it.

I noticed how you made a few single-term presidencies. I don't see anything wrong with that, especially considering the events you mentioned.

I completely agree that Cuomo's Presidency would be a fairly popular one and that whoever the GOP nominee is in 1996 (I'd think his VP) would win by a fairly decent margin. Just the mention of Republicans having dominance in the Northeast as a Progressive-Liberal party brings a tear to my eye! Everytime I think of conservatives in the GOP, it makes me think of this photo:. I also agree that whoever this successor would be would loose in 2000 to a Democrat. I haven't given much thought into who these people should be. A whole new door has opened up considering it's not BUSH, CLINTON, BUSH.

I like Howard Dean becoming President in 2004 as the GOP candidate. I never thought of it, but perhaps John Edwards could be an even better pick for the GOP to potentially take the ATL swing states of North Carolina and Virginia. I'm curious as to whether "Republican" would still be seen as a dirty word in the South by this time. I never really considered him, but Huckabee could be a good choice for '08. I think he'd keep his former progressive views in regards to education and perhaps he could take advantage of his "Christian Democratic" views (Man, that leaves a bad taste in my mouth) to win against Dean in '08. And by Christian Democratic views I mean in regards to helping the poor (which could be a gold mine with the Recession). I think Huckabee would win in 2012, albeit very narrowly (like Bush '04 narrowly). The only reason I'd be against Huckabee is mostly because of his Anti-LGBT views, though the Democrats ATL would be just as Anti-LGBT as the Reps OTL. Perhaps for the sake of his job, he'd be quite about his views towards the community. Makes me wonder what the headlines would be like: "After Obergefell v. Hodges, President Huckabee continues to be silent in regards to LGBT rights."

I definitely think Bill would be Cuomo's successor's VP. And I definitely think his little scandal would result in a GOP loss in 2000.

Overall, I love these ideas so far! If you have anymore regarding U.S. Presidents or the United States in general in Russian America, message me about them!

02:14, July 15, 2016 (UTC)

Haha, glad you like the cartoon!

Oh goodness, the term "American Royal Family" is starting to sound a bit appropriate in such a ATL.

You mentioned to me how the increased military presence would make VA and NC are swing states ATL, which makes a lot of sense. Virginia would probably be a swing state because of DC's population being larger and possibly more people in Northern Virginia. I was just thinking that Republican would been seen similar in the South ATL as Democrat is OTL. I've never been farther south than DC, but I'd assume being a Democrat would instantly classify you as a Communist or something. So I think the South's views towards Reps would be the same as OTL Present and OTL 1950's (of course without the whole death threats and such).

Haha, I could definitely see President Huckabee trying to pack the court with conservatives, especially with the struggles of the LGBT community becoming more noticed by the public eye. Actually, now that I think about it, with Cuomo as President during the 1990's, might not even have been passed (or may have and it would have been vetoed by President Cuomo). I don't know much about Dean's character, so I can't say if he'd push really hard to get an LGBT Civil Rights bill through Congress.

I never thought of having Powell be President, but I love the idea! Powell is another man whom I greatly admire and and upset that the Reps OTL are trying to bully him out for voting for Obama. I could see him as the Eisenhower of the 1990's. There would probably be a Draft Powell movement and the RNC could be a contested convention between him and Cuomo's VP (whoever it is). I was thinking he might win some EV's in the South because of his military background, but now that I think about, I doubt he'd win any states in Dixie. Heck, Eisenhower didn't win any of the Deep South in 1952 or 1956. I could see Powell doing a better job ATL than did Bush OTL in regards to terrorism and 9/11. Dean would probably going sky-high into the office with two successful Republican administrations on his back.

Also, I know we talked about someone to replace as Eisenhower's Chief Justice appointment and I think I found the perfect candidate:. Considering his origin and his name, it's safe to assume he'd still be an American ATL and given his record, he's the perfect person to take Warren's place during the tumultuous times of the 1950's and 1960's Civil Rights movement. Just read the wiki article, it's crazy what he did and went through during his tenure. Actually, scratch Johnson. I messed up the math and realized he'd only be 35 if he were appointed in 1953.

Other than that, I really love all these ideas you keep coming up with! Let me know if you have anymore, I'd love to hear them!

04:34, July 18, 2016 (UTC)

Haha. Sometimes the easiest way to learn things is often the simplest way.

I figured with the GOP not nominating, who'd likely be an Alaskan (Boris Goldwasser?), and instead nominating Rocky in 1964, they'd be less appealing to the South.

Since John Connally's presidency (if you like him being Reagan's VP) would become quite unpopular in 1988, I could see the Republicans keeping a strong majority in both houses of Congress up until a small "Democratic Revolution" in the 1994 midterms. I say small because I still think the Republicans would hold a slim majority in the House and Senate to possibly either filibuster DADT or keep it from even getting to President Cuomo's desk.

If you want to create the page and edit details with it, than go ahead. I'm actually finishing up the list right now.

Oh, jeez. I completely forgot Eisenhower was considering appointing Dewey as Chief Justice! I love Dewey and I think he'd be perfect as Chief Justice. Looks like we found Warren's replacement! I could see Dewey serving all of Warren's OTL term (1953-1969) and possibly Rocky appoints Frank Johnson as his successor.

19:27, July 19, 2016 (UTC)

I was thinking if you wanted to create the Presidential page and just add some info text to it, I'll add the list later when I finish up polishing it.

Haha, it's just hilarious that I'd been looking for a replacement for Warren for months and the best replacement was right in front of my eyes! Dewey is another one of my many heroes (mostly because he was a and the leader of the Progressive Northeastern Republicans).

20:17, July 19, 2016 (UTC)

Go ahead and insert the list from my sandbox. I also only made the list start from Madison because the POD was in 1812.

Haha. Well, I already knew a lot about Dewey and loved him for all he did and what he planned to do. I actually made him President in Carpe Diem.

I know right? It shifted so far to the right to the point that I can't understand how we haven't because a fascist dictatorship. *Looks at Trump*. The GOP in many ways was MORE progressive during the elections from 1948 until 1956. Eisenhower was even quoted calling those who want to abolish workers pensions and social security as, and I quote, "They are stupid." It's hard being in the left spectrum in America, am I right?

02:27, July 20, 2016 (UTC)

Hey Nuke,

I know I've done it multiple times when it comes to talking with you, but I'd like to apologize for my lack of contributing to Russian America articles I have designated myself to working on. I've been trying to enjoy the month of Summer that I have (I actually decided to take Summer Classes for the heck of it). I've also been busy trying re:re:vamp Carpe Diem again! With Fall Classes starting next week, I won't be as active as I have been, so I'd like to clarify anything and everything in regards to the United States:0:0 in Russian America. I haven't thought of anything new, but if you have anything new in mind, I would love to hear it!

I'm also curious about Mexico:0:0 ATL. I find it fascinating that Mexico keeps Central America and (most of) the and, from what I've seen, is generally more stable ATL. I would like to start elaborating more on Mexico in this TL, since it's so radically different from OTL. If you could explain what you have so far for Mexico, I would love to hear it and propose ideas for it!

Antarctica
Hi Nuke, I know you know a lot about the great continent of Antarctica so I'd like to ask you question for my timeline. Are there locations in OTL Antarctica that are habitable for humans where we can build settlements? Thanks.

05:13, June 25, 2016 (UTC)

Thanks for responding, Nuke. After looking over that map and based on the information you've given me, I think I'll probably include a few "settlements" in the Antarctic Peninsula and in Victoria Land in my timeline. A follow up question: if the ice sheet melted, would the sea level rise dramatically affect the coastlines of the rest of the world?

08:20, June 27, 2016 (UTC)

May I ask how the category system works, since you deleted my "Free territory of Riga" althist and I want to repost it. - From Burghausen

Chile (RA)
Hi Nuc! :) I has been working in the list of chilean presidents here if you want to give a look. The integration of Cuyo provinces (Mendoza, San Juan) to Chile give me the idea to put that the OTL argentinian president will become chilean, because he is from San Juan province and also lived exiled many years in Chile. I put he in the list as president too, but I'm not sure about this issue, so maybe I will change it later.

I reached the 1900's in the presidential list, so I suppose that the next decades are about the social revolution and the world wars, but can I ask you about how you think Chile will be affected by the international changes in your timeline during the XX Century. There will be another war against Peru-Bolivia (linked to the world wars)? Regards! --Katholico (talk) 17:53, June 26, 2016 (UTC)


 * You're welcome and thanks to you too :)
 * Oh I see jeje No problem Nuc :) I think that is possible that Allende can complete his presidency, but he need avoid many mistakes that he made in OTL. He need to reject the extremist position inside his own coalition (specially terrorist groups), and to accept compromises with the moderate opposition. Probably the Unidad Popular will be strongly defeated in the next election by the Christian Democrats, but at least we can avoid a coup (yet, there will be some leftist insurrections).
 * A fascist Peru-Bolivia sounds interesting. I could suggest a Peru-Bolivian invasion to Ecuador and Chile, but I'm not sure if more countries could join to the war (and what kind of governments will be in these). Maybe later a better idea will hit me xD Regards and again thanks! --Katholico (talk) 07:14, June 27, 2016 (UTC)


 * I just assumming that if the Peru-Bolivian is fascist, then, maybe they will have a expansionist policy, and Chile still have territories which in the past were part from Tawantinsuyu (until the at least). Anyway, the other idea you mentioned, about a invasion during Allende's government, personally don't like, but still I think have sense xD If you ask who will win, I'm going to say Chile, butI'm biased in this xD But I have a potential scenario, what if Allende (and great part of his cabinet) die during a aerial bombing, and a national government lead by Eduardo Frei Montalva, or other key figures, assume the direction of the country and they lead the counter-offensive to repel the invaders? Regards! --Katholico (talk) 05:25, June 29, 2016 (UTC)


 * Hi again Nuc! I think I complete the list of presidents of Chile. I incluide some argentinians like Kirchner, Raúl Alfonsín (Galician-German and british) and Hermes Binner (german), using the info you put in your sandbox. BTW, the list don't considere any new war in the XX Century. Anyway, I will check some points to be sure. What you think? :) Regards! --Katholico (talk) 01:21, July 2, 2016 (UTC)


 * Oh don't worry :o
 * Well, the six-years presidency duration was something very discussing in OTL Chile. Coup or not, a change in the mandate duration could have happened in some moment. But, anyway, i edit the list and extent the 6-years mandate to 2006 (similar OTL), changing some presidents.
 * About Bachelet, I have the idea that is unlikely that she would be elected in the mostly alternative timelines xD Her ascension in politics depends of many OTL factors.
 * About the war, not problem. I think you are right. Regards! --Katholico (talk) 23:30, July 4, 2016 (UTC)

Really?
I'm just gonna say it, this is not diplomatic message like the last one since I need people to know ALL about you. Can't wait to get banned because you're a baby. I'd love to see how people react to you banning a user over that user's right to freedom of speech.

Upon your return from this suspension, I do not wish to see you harass (show me the harrasing I have done you oversensitive idiot, I have plenty of evidence of you harrasing me over my "duplications" -god forbid-),

scold (I'll scold you all I want you tumblr loving powertripping lunitic baby), and/or threaten (show me this to) as you did following the competition (wrong word dumb-dumb, I think you meant completion) of your last suspension. This will not be tolerated and I will take *action* (OMG) if needed (yah, "if needed" you crybaby).

This is a direct quote from you. Yah, and action for calling you out for abuse of power. Pffff. Nobody would rally for such a pathetic excuse of an admin. Is this 4chan BTW, because last time I checked it wasn't. Hell, have you ever heard what other admins think of you. I won't say names, but the ones I've talked to tend to dispise you (as do I).

This is a direct quote on my talk page that came from you. I would like to point out I did none of these things you're accusing me of, I really do not know in particular where you think you have the power to "take action" over me saying how stupid it is for you to enforce dumb rules like duplication and then harras users by continually checking one particular user over and over. No one else has EVER suspended a user for these things so I think your time as an Admin should end (and very soon).

So, let's crack open my experiances with this asshat. So the first time I ever heard of this guy was when I first joined and literally made my SECOND page. He soon messaged me stating that I had duplicated an image and that he'd take further action. So from the start I really didn't think much of this, hoping he'd move on like a decent admin would. But no, he decides he'll stalk my activity and just wait to pounce again. So from here I'd like people to go to my talk page and see how he's given me warnings and suspended me on multiple instances using "duplication" each time.

So, with all this is mind, I would like both all of you and this power-hungry crybaby to see (by file name at least) what he called a "duplication". So, this is what he claims is both the duplication and the duplicate:  (do you see something, you know, different about how these are named and formatted).
 * Hk-1957.gif (which as you can see he deleted), and here's what he says I "duplicated"

Now, I don't have evidence of this (I tried to get a picture of the dates of upload), but this "man" decided he would upload his file AFTER I HAD UPLOADED MINE (so he duplicated me) and then suspend me for 2 weeks because he likes coming after me and is such a loser he has to actually duplicate MY IMAGE and then SUSPEND ME FOR 2 WEEKS.

'''So, with it all said and done YOU decide whether YOU want this guy to stay Admin, or if you want his power-crazed harrassing over-sensitive ass demoted back to where it belongs. I believe for all I've had to go through he should also be suspended for AT LEAST a week. Everyone who sees this post how you feel about this. Also, be sure to check if he bans this account (because he will because he can't take being called out) by going to http://althistory.wikia.com/wiki/User:TbombTheAltHistorian and seeing if this account still exists. he may delete this post, but don't worry, I can always repost it with my other account (I have it on my hard drive and he can't delete that). Let's make this community better by putting this dumbass in his place.'''

Hi Nuke,

In light of the above rant by TbombAltHistorian, I see that you responded by permenantly banning him. Now I am just a constable, but I consider that a bit of an overreaction to a situation that could have been resolved diplomatically. Because of this, I am going to bring this to the attention of the admins MP and Scrawland, and see if they can help you resolve this issue.

Have a pleasent day,

Theodore IV photo
Hi NuclearVacuum. I noticed that you deleted the modified photo of Prince Charles that I used for the Theodore IV of Cygnia (Game of Nations) and replaced it with the original coloured version. Please note that the character's lifetime was in the early 20th century, when coloured images were not common, and most were black and white, and that if it were appropriate I would have used the original. However, I would like to request that you restore the black-and-white version for the sake of historical accuracy. Thank you. —  T  I   M  (TSW • AH • MGW • Contribs ) 03:13, July 4, 2016 (UTC)

King Washington
Hello, I have been working on a new Timeline by the name of A Shattered World, but that work has been pput to the side. I am asking you if my timeline, King Washington, is that related to King of America, a timeline my friend United Republic. Now first, my US has the Washington family ruling America. Second America takes over a lot of places over the world and colonizes many areas. Also Communism does no exist in this TL. Do you think that this is too related to King of America? I am focusing on this one hopefully making me more known over this wiki and a bit more popular. But what is your opinion, too similar? Will I still get possible popularity off this TL? My goal is not fame but a nice TL would help people maybe listen to me and talk about my TL. I have no other TL ideas. Lieutenant113 (talk) 04:21, July 9, 2016 (UTC)

RE: Nuke - idea
Hi Nuke, I'm an author, though I doubt anyone will have heard of me as I float around the small press world. Not in the big leagues as yet.

I find your Russian America timeline compelling and while I can see it falls under CC-BY-SA, which allows for re-distribution even for commercial purposes, I would like to perhaps work with you and share some ideas.

Your universe allows me the chance to tick several ideas I've struggled to get onto paper in what is an extremely interesting setting.

Historical/alternate historical novel - a western - a revolutionary tale even and a cyberpunk style tech thriller.

I'd love to trade ideas back and forth and if my publisher doesn't go for the pitch, I would likely do it myself. Can't promise a return, but it could be interesting.

Thanks. Look forward to hearing from you. Rob9908 (talk) 18:32, July 14, 2016 (UTC)

TV Channels in Alaska
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KAKM

I think Alaska Public Media would exist in TTL and the letters of the logo would be in Cyrillic.

IMO, Alaskan TV resembles more OTL Canadian TV with one government-owned channel and more private ones.

I was thinking of a private channel based on Ross, another in Sitka, and another still on New Westminister.

Do you have any ideas?

Mongolia, Uyghuristan, and Tibet in Russian America
Could I make articles for them?

General tiu (talk) 16:48, July 19, 2016 (UTC)

Hey nuke, I just wanted to let you know about the upcoming rising and let you know to "take care". - TbombTheAltHistorian (did you miss me buddy?)

Is this article good enough?
http://althistory.wikia.com/wiki/Mongolia_%28Russian_America%29

I already made an article for Mongolia in Russian America. Uyghurstan and Tibet might come.

A Shattered Union
So I have a new  TL idea, A Sattered Union involving the US being split up killing the Union. But a page called Shattered Union already exists. I saw it and it looks dead and incomplete. Could that maybe be deleted so I can make this TL? Thank you  Lieutenant113 (talk) 00:17, July 22, 2016 (UTC)

Okay but here is the thing, just read it in this link, the top says something baout it no longer being used http://althistory.wikia.com/wiki/Shattered_Union#Early_1864-Peace_is_reached so after it saying "hopefully it will be redone in the future", may I just have it?

Thanks for the feedback!
Thanks for the feedback. Sorry for the foul-up.

I am proposing a German-speaking union in Russian-America, more like Francophonie and Benelux than German Confederation or so. Switzerland and Austria will opt out because they found out it wasn't like the Francophonie they wanted for a German-speaking association, and they fear it would be like the Third Reich again.What do you think of this idea?

General tiu (talk) 15:28, July 24, 2016 (UTC)

No problem for that! My brain have been overloading with ideas. So by the way, does Japan have an tunnel through Gyeongsang Province?

It's something like this:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japan%E2%80%93Korea_Undersea_Tunnel#/media/File:Japan-Korea_tunnel_(English).png

Also, I am thinking about what would Tibet would do in Russian America after independence. Would they be a Saudi Arabia? Or play the Asian Switzerland?

General tiu (talk) 22:33, July 24, 2016 (UTC)

Indeed, I once considered Tibet to be a theocracy but I think this is too much and OOC for the OTL Dalai Lama to do. He would convince Bhutan to open earlier than in OTL and Sikkim might not become an Indian state thanks to the Dalai Lama's influence.

From what I think, Tibet might be an agricultural producer and net hydroelectric exporter. Then there is the tourism and research side, too. Tibet might tolerate mining oil and gas but with certain environmental limitations.

Tibet keeps an army but this is a natural consequence of having the Soviet Union as a border.

Just so you know Tbmob is making stuff up about you on the subreddit if you would like to report him to reddit staff. Also I finished the Coat of Arms for Hanover in Russian America, this one would be the Greater Version.

Romany People in Russian America
I was thinking what would happen if the Roma people get a territorial autonomous unit all their own. The most they could get is the Soviet Union. I think you should incorporate a Romany Autonomous Oblast.

https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/soc.history.what-if/LM6bKSwdJdA

I guess in Alaska, since there are no national delimitations, the Romany Alaskans would be treated better and better assimilated.

And another one, would the Volga Germans get back their ASSR?

What do you think?

Leaders for Uyghurstan in Russian America
I am trying to compile a list of possible leaders of Uyghurstan

For Uyghurstan, here it is:

Elihan Tore - 1945-46

Ahmetjan Kasimi -1946-1949

Burhan Shahidi 1949-1955

Abdulkerm Abbasov 1955-1962

Ismail Yusupov 1962-1991

Ismail Yusupov was the leader of the Kazakh SSR from 1962 to 1964. As he is an Uyghur, he never gets that post. He is assigned as the leader of the Uyghur SSR. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dalelkhan_Sugirbayev takes his place instead.

Isa Alptekin (the first non-Communist leader of Uyghurstan) 1991-1995.

Rebiya Kadirova - ? present

I think I need to improve the list.

General tiu (talk) 05:55, July 31, 2016 (UTC)

Attacks
Came by to work on my Indians article and saw all of this crazy stuff happen today. I am sorry about that, glad you could reverse that it made me sad to see your nice R.A portal page filled with garble

On the other hand I think its cool Uyghurs are now being brought on by General Tiu. I think that Alaska will have a population of Cerntal Asians as well, I think in story of 90's emigration I will have a couple central asian characters.

Recently too I have started working on a A.S.R story that can be found on my profile. A fisherman turned revolutionary is questioned in 1943 by Alaskan intellgence services.

Keep having fun here,

Sure thing, even if we don't admit almost all of us, like some credit every now and then even if we figure its not coming.

I mean this place is supposed to be cool, if I want problem people Ill be in real life.

But again, keep having fun here its heartning to just make belevible countries from the scratch on our heads.

By the way, what is your comment here?

General tiu (talk) 00:48, August 3, 2016 (UTC)

RE: Nuke - ideas
Hi Nuke, I've been trying to get in touch. Not the most tech friendly person sometimes. I have several ideas on paper I'd like to run by you.

How do you think Russians and other immigrants would interact with Native tribes on the west coast?

Got a few ideas locked down. One focused on a Russian law man hunting down a group of men during the civil war in the early 20th century. Not as straight forward as it sounds, I assure you.

Working on an idea revolving around the gold rush: claim disputes/corruption and greed. Usual western tropes, with a Russian twist thrown in. Further to that, a down on his luck miner who goes off the rails. Toying with an idea about whalers in the northern territory around Kodiak.

Hey, I made this cover of your 13 Fallen Stars TL! Would you mind if I posted it to my DeviantArt account (with credit to you, of course)? --Upvoteanthology 15:01, August 15, 2016‎

Thank you so much. :o Looking at your talk page, it seems like someone made a much better cover just a few days ago. XD Oh well, I still hope you enjoy it! I might have to do more of your TLs in the future.  April showers,   bring May flowers.  21:07, August 15, 2016 (UTC)

More maps
Hey Nuke, sorry for going off on North Japan I just saw it a few weeks ago and went nuts.

On the other hand I think for maps of the Russian empire, this could be edited to show the extent of Russia world wide combinded with Alaska.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_Empire#/media/File:The_Russian_Empire-en.svg

Can I have your vector maps, I would like to (someday) make the following I am thinking about making a page about places to visit in Alaska, or a "travel guide" of sorts. In ATL certainly seperate guides would be made for forgein English speakers and Russians.
 * A map of historical and modern Cossack locations
 * A map showing distribution of Buddhism, possibly other relgions and holy sites
 * A map indicating "historical sites" that are famous travel destinations
 * Native American releated topics

I saw the new teams in your sandbox, what I like about this is that I see more and more the life of ordinary people in this invented country becoming more complete. Where they live, what they think, what kind of things they see, and their values.

Eh, its coolStepintime (talk) 18:27, August 18, 2016 (UTC)

Also I have been thinking about historical concepts that would exist here,

For example: The big four:

An adknowldgment of the four cultures to succesfuly colonize North America and leave behind respective countries,

France, Spain, England and Russia (of course) producing

Russia: Alaska ;)

England: Borelia, United States, Acadia,

France: Canada

Spain: Mexico,

With North America more cut up in our timeline, it would not be like Europe but closeer than OTL. I could see this having numerous effects, that Russian would be considered a standard N.A language. Little things like the movie subtitles on D.V.Ds for example. Perhaps all four countries would attempt to educte their people in the other three.

And,

The lion and the bear:

As part of the 19th century, Britain, Russia cold war and the fact that most of northern part of the earth was ruled by one of these two countries directly or indirectly I could see this being a concept. Perhaps we would have the image of the big bear chasing the tail of the Lion, representing England.

I could also see this being a Richard Kippling poem.

Aye There was the lion and the bear 

Both thought they were high and fare 

Under god's judgment would they tangle until the final hour 

For the two great beasts would never waver for the quest of power.

Alaksa the good frankinstein, :). It seems appropiate, that it could just made and then be a good thing, at least here on the Wiki

This was the right map, alot can be done with this.

At the bottom of my sandbox I have edited your map to make a simple Buddhist distribution potrait with five delicious shades of orange, and added some explaining nots.

Hi, sorry about the duplicated files. I did try and search for them, but didn't search with the underscores. I did think it was odd that they weren't already on the Wiki somewhere.

toward vs towards
According to the Chicago Manual of Style, the preferred form in American English is toward without the -s, while the preferred British English form is towards with the -s. This general rule works with other directional words, including forward, backward, upward, and downward, along with afterward.

Re: Duplication of US flag with 31 stars that you removed:

This was NOT a duplication. If you looked at the image, you would notice that while it had 31 stars, it had FOURTEEN stripes. I will be putting the image back up today. Do Not Take It Down: It is NOT A DUPLICATION.

Do you know what happened to the wikia layout?
Hello, I don't know if you know me, but I may need your assistence. You are one of the administrators here, so I assume you would know. I think someone has been changing the wikia lay out, because some infoboxes have been displaying as wider than before, and I liked it better before.

Are you aware of this? See [http://User blog:Civciv5/Did someone change the wiki layout? my blog] for a picture.

what wikia layout

Please restore my infoboxes
It was more than just a "copy and paste". Along with the addition of a GDP, the size of the images is different (such as the flag, and coat of arms) to suit my personal preferences, along with other subtle things. And I plan to add more additions and differences in the future, so please restore it. Please don't delete my templates without asking me if that's ok, this can be quite a hindrance. My person infoboxes had multiple additions as well. This is a non-negotiotianable issue, please don't delete my templates ever again.

Please DON'T ever delete them again. It is annoying to revert all things you have done.

My infoboxes included modifiable captions which I could edit to add other information like "alma mater" and other useful information. This is making me really upset because now I basically can't do anything on this wiki until you restore my templates!

Please, please, please. I'm literally crying now because I don't want to start a war or argument and I'm very upset because all my extra info is gone.

I will it less of a hassle for you by undoing everything you did, so you just have to restore my infoboxes.

Please restore my infoboxes, I can't live without them. They included personal things and preferences that you will never add to the "main" infobox.

I know you're trying to be helpful, but this wasn't really helpful. My infoboxes have multiple personal additions and preferences that cannot be in the main template, because well, they're personal. There was nothing really broke, so why fix it?

I already undid all the changes you did on all my Celestial Ascendance articles, so I would be very thankful if you could please restore my templates. I can't continue writing on my timeline until you restore them.

Thanks
