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

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

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

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

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


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

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


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

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

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

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

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

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


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


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


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

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

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

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

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


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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Have you given any more thought to the TSPTF offer?

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

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

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

Yank 03:08, February 5, 2011 (UTC)

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

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

Some "Napoleons World" edit updates.
So, I saw some of the photos you had of some Tsars, Well, I got some photos of them in old age, On "Alexander I" Im going to make that photo you posted into the photo of him being a prince, same with the others if you post tsars in there younger stage, also i saw the flag you created, I'm sorry man but im not digging it being a national flag, but let me see i can do with it.

This is not a big deal, but I managed to improve your map of the U.S. in your Naploeon TL. I got rid of the small white dots and colored in the missing U.S. land (District of Columbia, small islands, etc). BlackSkyEmpire 22:57, February 15, 2011 (UTC)BlackSkyEmpire

Maurice I
John XX, Ironicaly, the Pretender to the Bourbon throne

Also I have some really awesome ideas for NW, Care for me to share?

02:53, February 16, 2011 (UTC)

I'm sorry to say this but theres a problem with that image of Edmond. It has the Iron Cross in it which is more of a symbolism for German Imperialism then French Imperialism. Heck even look at a picture of Frederick William III, he's wearing it.

Congratulations
Congratulations, you are now a Lieutenant in the TSPTF. This allows you to showcase the TSPTF membership badge on your user page. Furthermore it gives you administrator powers on this wiki. I would like to spend sometime discussing those powers:


 * You should now notice a red button at the top of every article with the word "Delete". You can use this to delete articles, obviously. Use this power sparingly and always stay within the framework of the Deletion Policy. The policy itself was passed with little discussion, so if you have any suggestions or comments regarding it I would be glad to hear it.
 * You can also block users from editing. This can be done by clicking on the History page for articles or the Contributions tab on editor's user pages. Again, use this sparingly. This is our most destructive tool. We don't have a policy on this, but there is a general custom that has been followed: always assume good faith with edits (unless obviously vandalism), warn before blocking (try using the three strikes approach) and start with short block durations for first time offendors. Generally other administrators will not interfere with your decisions regarding blocks, as long as it appears fair on its face.  Permanent blocks, however, must be brought before the TSPTF as a whole and will only be confirmed if there is a 2/3 approval.
 * You will also notice a button on the top of every article that says "Protect". With this you can prevent certain people from editing a single article. The first level prevents anons and new users from editing an article. The second level limits editing only to administrators. Use this to prevent excessive vanadalism or to prevent edit wars between users.
 * In the History page of an article you will notice a new option called "rollback". This is an anti-vandalism tool. It allows you to quickly undo edits in case someone has made more than one edit to a page. By clicking rollback it will immediately revert the article to a time before the offending editor edited the page.
 * There are other obscure powers that are not used often. If you have any questions on those or the ones I mentioned above, feel free to ask me.

Finally if you go to the TSPTF page, you will notice that we have a list of Responsibilities. In reality, none of us have the time to devote to all of the duties that are expected of an administrator of the wiki. You are expected, however, to sign up for at least three responsibilities listed in that section. These are duties that you are agreeing to carry out to the best of your ability every time you are on this wiki. I'm hoping that by doing this the members of the TSPTF can efficiently share the work load of the wiki and gives us time for the real reason we are here.

Again, congratulations on being elected to the TSPTF and good luck. Mitro 15:27, February 17, 2011 (UTC)

Yeah sure thing. Also i didn't make that poster, I just added the 2002 bit. lol

South America (Napoleon's World)
Hola KingSweden!! :) Of course, i will glad if i can help you in something. Well, first, the word "Plausible" is correct :P Puedo hablarte en español? así puedo escribir más rapido jeje En base a mis conocimientos sobre la historia colombiana, el articulo de Colombia tiene muchas diferencias con la Colombia de OTL, especialmente en los partidos politicos, debido a que Historicamente la politica Colombiana fue dominada por los Partidos Conservador y Liberal (de donde surgieron despues algunos movimientos de izquierda democratica) hasta cerca del 2000. No tengo información alguna sobre Partidos Reformistas, Democratas Cristianos o Republicanos. Además, me di cuenta que los nombres de los presidentes colombianos no son reales O_O Creo que podrías modificar esos aspectos de la politica del país, y mantener sin alteraciones el resto de la historia. De momento, esto te puedo decir. Si necesitas mas ayuda, solo dime. Saludos --Katholico 23:47, February 22, 2011 (UTC)


 * Que bien :) Bueno, tienes razón sobre los partidos politicos, en esta timeline he visto muchos sorprendentes cambios historicos en diferentes lugares y por eso quizás es posible que esos partidos existan. La verdad, no he leído toda tu TL, solo lo basico. Lo que mas he leido es el articulo Alternate Destinies, el cual me parece muy genial y divertido :D. Respecto a ideas para el resto de Sudamerica, dejame leer antes un poco mas tu timeline para intentar pensar en algo. --Katholico 00:52, February 23, 2011 (UTC)


 * I have some questions: ¿Como Chile y Peru anexan todo el territorio de Bolivia? ¿A través de alguna guerra?.

Y quisiera saber cual a sido la politica internacional de Chile, Peru y Paraguay?, es decir, de que naciones han sido aliados o enemigos esos paises? Por ejemplo, aqui en este articulo sobre futbol soccer dice que Chile y Argentina son archi-enemigos, de forma similar a OTL. --Katholico 02:42, February 23, 2011 (UTC)


 * OK, ahora entiendo. ¿Chile ha estado en alguna guerra? Sobre Allende, es una idea muy buena (de hecho cercana a la realidad), pero te refieres a que él sería un dictador Marxista, no? Pinochet podría tener un Alternate Destiny en esta timeline, asi como varias figuras chilenas. --Katholico 03:08, February 23, 2011 (UTC)


 * Si, lei que Chile era Comunista (casi como pudo ocurrior en OTL) y que despues de la derrota en el Mundial de Futbol el gobierno comunista cayó. Y asi es, Chile y Argentina han sido desde después de la independencia "enemigos y rivales". En muchas ocaciones hemos estado al borde de la guerra, pero nunca ha ocurrido algo gracias a Dios. Se podría decir que hemos estado en algo como una "Guerra Fría". La ultima vez que hubo una crisis militar fue en Diciembre, 1978, por la soberanía del Canal del Beagle. --Katholico 03:19, February 23, 2011 (UTC)

Hey man!
Hey Man! I was just curious, since I did a lot for you.

Could you do something for me? :]

Vidboy10 20:55, February 28, 2011 (UTC)

I was curious if you could contribute to my TL Multi-Colonial Australia.

Logos
I think I can help - though Oer is the resident guru on Photoshop around here, I'm not too bad with GIMP.

I think I see the issue, but tell me what you think the problem is, and I'll fix it/them.

Lordganon 04:37, March 4, 2011 (UTC)

So more or less what I thought, lol. I'll get to it next time I wake up, then.

As for Spokane, canon has long had a different fate for it than being hit. We've now got the military base being hit, which would damage, though not destroy, the city. Wikipedia says that the big companies hadn't actually moved there yet, for the most part, either, at Doomsday. The plants in rural Alabama has to do with steel mills, lol. Somehow, there ended up being tons of the blasted things there, and those kind of mills, in large numbers, are like a bulls-eye for nukes.

Lordganon 13:22, March 5, 2011 (UTC)

I've uploaded a new version of the logo. Looks a tiny bit choppy around a couple of edges - just how it worked out when making it solid, but shouldn't be noticeable on most smaller sizes you use - but its one color now. I'll work on getting the edges smoothed out.



Lordganon 17:09, March 5, 2011 (UTC)

Cleaned it up. Also changed it to a PNG file, which will keep the changes and not shade up like that again. Lordganon 17:49, March 5, 2011 (UTC)

Not a problem. Always willing to help. Lordganon 19:14, March 5, 2011 (UTC)

How do you like the idea of Oswald being friends with Kennedy?

Yeah, I'd known you started it. A good article. I like the idea of the new one you've started - I'll try tpo help ya with it, if you'd like.

No, there's not a specific article on it. It's mentioned, somewhat in passing, in the NAU, New United States, and Utah articles, as well as (I think) in Cascadia and Pasco too.

Don't worry about the logo. Always willing to help, and I'll fix uo any logos you need it done to =)

Empire of Mexico
I have an idea for an addition to the Napoleon's World timeline. What if the French-supported Empire of Mexico survived to this day? As far as I could tell there are no refrences to Mexico in the timeline so far, so it could be inserted with little trouble. What do you think? --Yank 20:19, March 29, 2011 (UTC)

Here's my idea of what happens. After Austria is conquered during Napoleonic Wars, the Austrian royal family flees to Mexico in exile. The exiled royals influence the colony in the years, and when Agustín de Iturbide becomes Emperor of Mexico he solidifies his claim by wedding a Hapsburg Princess. To satisfy the Republican elements a constitution is adopted. Over the years the royal house slowly becomes more and more Mexican. The process of Mexicanization ends around the present day.

Yank 22:10, March 29, 2011 (UTC)

I allways thought that Mexico would be a strong American ally from it's creation. It's because I thought that the Mexican Royal family would have nothing to do with the French, as they have a large Austrian Hapsburg branch. They would blame the French for having to flee their homeland. They way I understand it is alliance means economic aid, economic aid means more jobs, and more jobs means not having to flee to America illegally.

Yank 19:49, March 30, 2011 (UTC)

I seriously doubt America would be too choosy, especially with the never-ending cold war with France to consider. And considering the unpleasent history the Hapsburgs have with France, they would be an enthusiastic ally to America. What if they are like Alaska, with a rocky relationship at first, then a conflict, then have their relations slowly but surely improve.

Hetalia is a show that approaches history in terms of people. The nations themselves are turned into people. Here's a link to the wikipedia page. There would be a character representing France, Alaska, America, etc. Despite their being fewer large conflicts than OTL, it'd still be easy to convert Napleon's World to the same format. And we can have America be the primary protagonist, as I doubt Napoleon's World Japan would be a proper enviroment to spawn anime. How about we have anime start up in America when anime arists flee to America to escape the militarist Japan.

Yank 20:11, March 30, 2011 (UTC)

How about they have a thriving film industry (possibly an equivilent of Bollywood), the products of which are popular in the United States and South America (but for different reasons). Quite a few of these films have a humorous cameo by the Emperor (who is a member of the Mexican equivlient of SAG) So, what do you think of Hetalia?

Yank 20:31, March 30, 2011 (UTC)

I could see a sizable German community in Mexico. It would consist of the decendants of loyal Austrians who followed their royal family into exile.

Yank 01:59, April 1, 2011 (UTC)

What if the Mexicans had their own, unique form of classical music? It'd be styled after the popular Austrian composers, but strongly influenced by traditional Mexican and Spanish music.

Yank 14:33, May 5, 2011 (UTC)

Hetalia
Have you ever heard of Hetalia: Axis Powers? It's basically an anime show where history is humorously depicted using athropomorphic representations of nations. What do you think of a Napoleon's World-themed version of Hetalia? --Yank 20:47, March 29, 2011 (UTC)

So are you going to work on Hetalia next?

Yank 00:29, April 2, 2011 (UTC)

I created the Hetalia page for you. You can add to it whenever you want to. I know you have a lot on your plate with the timeline. I just want to tell you that Napoleon's World is an excellent timeline, and to keep up the incredible work.

Yank 03:11, April 11, 2011 (UTC)

Central America
What do you think of my new addition of Central America? I'm thinking of helping you by adding pages for the South America countries currently unrepresented in the timeline.

Yank 21:45, April 3, 2011 (UTC)

I just thought that since they are surrounded by two powerful nations (Mexico and Columbia), the Central American nations would be more receptive to uniting. I just had no other idea for a name for such a nation. What would you call this nation?

Yank 17:09, April 4, 2011 (UTC)

My Ideas For Napoleon's World
I have some ideas for Brazil and, by extension, Portugal. Since Portugal in OTL was one of England's most reliable allies in Europe, we could have the French despose the King and turn Potugal into a puppet state. The rightful King would then flee to Brazil to establish the Empire of Brazil.

Yank 22:14, April 3, 2011 (UTC)

How about Brazil has a military regime for a period in the 30's-40's, which gets desposed in a coup that restores the monarchy. What do you think about that?

Yank 21:19, April 4, 2011 (UTC)

Rat Pack
Yeah, I like the sound of all those ideas. It certainly makes sense for the group to be centered more on Dean Martin/Dino Crocetti than Frank Sinatra (unlike in OTL), because Sinatra didn't develop major organized crime connections until adulthood; whereas Crocetti was significantly involved from the age of 15, possibly younger.

Assuming Crocetti put more effort into his criminal career rather than his singing career; he could have been one of the biggest names in Ohio's criminal underworld by the late 1940s; which is probably the kind of time he would move his operations to Vegas and start working with Joseph Gottlieb. If Gottlieb was running a money-laundering syndicate, or some other non-mafia-type crime; he would probably be more willing to work with Crocetti, as he would have more to gain from having him as an ally. Sinatra could be one of their connections in New York, who moves to Vegas during the 1950s and becomes another major figure in the Mob.

Perhaps Sammy Davis Jr should stay a performer, as a regular headliner at one of Gottlieb's casinos/hotels (after all, that's how Frank Sinatra made his mob connections in OTL). Also, Since Davis converted to Judaism some time after 1954, he might be more likely to work with Gottlieb's mob after that.

Given all of the turmoil England goes through in Napoleon's World, Peter Lawford is kind of a wildcard, but I'm sure it wouldn't be too hard to write him a backstory which brings him into the American criminal underworld. - Mister Sheen 12:06, April 10, 2011 (UTC)

The Five Families idea for Sinatra sounds good; as does the Lawford backstory; and your idea for Sammy Davis Jr's role in showbusiness and Civil Rights gave me another thought: perhaps if Davis began attracting more black artists to Las Vegas, then it might accompany or even replace Detroit (Motown) as the center of black music in the 1960s and 70s.

And if Armstrong, King and Cosby rejected Davis because of his criminal connections; then perhaps he would replace Malcolm X as the main "alternative" Civil Rights leader; except he would have a completely different message to Malcolm X. - Mister Sheen 18:13, April 10, 2011 (UTC)


 * I didn't mean for him to become Malcolm X, just that he would take the role of "main black leader outside the mainstream Civil Rights movement". But it probably does make more sense to leave him as a well-known celebrity with strong mafia ties. - Mister Sheen 18:48, April 10, 2011 (UTC)

Email and More Ideas
I'll have to see if I'm allowed to give my email address to you. In the meanwhile, here's some more ideas for Napoleon's World. What if we make a page for the major corporations (or at least the ones butterfly'd into existance by the timeline) of Napoleon's World? I have two ideas (and two Alternate Destinies that come with them) Yank 19:32, April 11, 2011 (UTC)
 * 1) Belushi's (a major resteraunt chain)- After hearing that John Belushi's father worked in the resteraunt business while watching his Biography, I had an idea. What if John Belushi directed his ambition into the family business rather than acting?
 * 2) Lincoln Medical (a medical company)- After Willie Lincoln (or his son) dies, Edward Lincoln (who may have surived in this timeline) becomes determined to help better his fellow man by learning all he can on medicine. He becomes the greatest medical mind of his time, and creates quite a few medicines. The company runs a chain of the finest privately owned hospitals and the Lincoln Institute (an equivilent of the Pasteur Institute.). Edward Lincoln's "tender-hearted, kind, and loving" personality, as descibed by wikipedia, would have made it impossible for him to do anything else if he surived to adulthood. Besides, I think the Alternate Destinies page need more Scientists/Doctors/Inventors.

It'd also be interesting if you included a stint as Surgeon General under his brother in Edward's bio. he'd be chosen, not out of nepotism, but because he'd be one of the best (if not the best) people for the job.

Do you mean making David Cameron into a Hugh Grant-type awkward ineffectual guy who somehow ends up as a national leader? Yeah, I really like that idea. - Mister Sheen 00:31, April 14, 2011 (UTC)

Templates
First off, don't worry about the TSPTF stuff. You do actually do more than most people do, lol.

Not quite so good at templates as you think, I'm afraid. The ones I've "made" have been adjusted versions of ones already on here, and not by much at that, lol. But you should be able to do much the same - just take the code for the boxes you mention, copy the code, go to a new template page, paste the code in, and edit it to be like you want.

As for the sports template, the only suggestion I have for you is the company infobox. http://althistory.wikia.com/wiki/Template:Infobox_Company Not a perfect fit, but should work after a fashion.

Sports (Napoleon's World)
nice to see the whole list of sport articles in the napoleon world that you did, but they are in some way "too much" to read, can you do a frontpage/portal article about the whole sport world? something like Sports (Napoleon's World), talking about the complete world, with titles that are easier to read and understood? thanks, which one is the most popular sport, in that continent, and in that country? bigger sport star? number of teams that participate in that tournament? the more times champion? great work aniway--Fero 03:24, April 19, 2011 (UTC)

Napoleon's World Alternate History Fiction
You should make a page on an novel in which Napoleon loses? In other words can you write the article on a novel that effectively paints what the people of the NW timeline think our timeline must be like.

English General Election
Jack Davenport of Labour would be more my choice. Lordganon 05:19, April 26, 2011 (UTC)

Honestly, I've never used the things, so I've no idea how to make'em work. All I know is that you should just be able to copy it from another election article, and change out the details as needed.

Happy to see the A. War article done too, lol. One of the best articles on the wiki, in my opinion.

Napoleon's World Batman
Is it OK if I alter the Batman film page? I would like to change it so that the stinkbomb known as "Batman & Robin" is never made. Besides, I feel that the page is much too dirivitive to be alternate media history.

Yank 22:07, April 29, 2011 (UTC)

Sections of it seem like you just pasted from wikipedia and changed some of the actor's names. Don't you think that the series might be completely different?

Yank 01:27, April 30, 2011 (UTC)

Napoleon's World Horror Icons
I have an idea for at least one iconic horror actor. Bela Blasko is a deranged killer obsessed with the idea of vampires, and thought he was Count Dracula. Instead of being in movies, he has movies made about him. Including a series that transforms him into a vampire named "Count Lugosi".

Yank 01:26, May 5, 2011 (UTC)

Bela Blasko/Lugosi wasn't born in Romania. He was Hungarian. So, by virtue of the map, he would be exploring the French Empire. And since the OTL Dracula novel has Dracula coming to London (the center of power in Europe), the Napoleon's World version would have Dracula come to Paris. And since this world's Bela Lugosi has an unhealthy obsession with vampires, he would likely read the novel countless times. And he would imitate every detail of Dracula's appearance, and travel plan. here's my timeline for his alternate life: How do you like the idea of a series of movies where he becomes a real vampire after his death?
 * 1889: He is born into a poor Hugarian family, and begins his obsession with the supernatural.
 * 1900: He first reads Dracula, and imagines himself to be a reincarnation of the vampire.
 * 1905: He takes his first life (with the help of prosthetic fangs.)
 * 1910: He has an experimental killing spree, and stops killing for a while to get attention off himself.
 * 1930: He travels to Paris, and has a massive killing spree. He is arrested and tried for the murders.
 * 1931: He is sentanced to death, and is killed in the chair.

Apocalypse (Map Game)
I've created a new map game. It involves a disease epidemic in 1861. This epidemic (or rathe pandemic) diesease effectively destroys the world as they knew it. The Civil War is effectively cancelled from flack of interest. Would you like to play? I still need more players. I'd like to know if you'd like to be our map maker. The game mostly takes place in North America.

Yank 15:33, May 5, 2011 (UTC)

New Germany?
I have an idea for a nation in Africa. What if the French set aside some territory in Africa for independance-minded Gemans to colonize?

Yank 17:15, May 9, 2011 (UTC)

Then could territory be set aside for a new Polish homeland?

Yank 19:40, May 9, 2011 (UTC)

How about this. The Prussians settle the area and name it Neu Germania. It remains under Prussian control until Prussia is disbanded. It becomes independant, and stays that way even after the restoration of Prussia. All the while, large amounts of dissatisfied Polish citizens (and maybe even some Russians) emmigrate to Neu Germania to escape French persecution in Europe. Neu Germania becomes the only place in the world where the Polish language is spoken or written (as the French have brutally supressed it). Russian is spoken too, but only in the small (and isolated) Russian communities.

Yank 20:40, May 9, 2011 (UTC)

I have an idea. What if the nation of Neu Germania were to house communities from all (or at least most ) of eastern Europe. Because I doubt any slavic group is going to get preferential treatment. There is potential for considerable communities of Belarusians, Czechs, Slovaks, and Ukrainians.

Yank 23:38, May 18, 2011 (UTC)

How about this for the language situation in New Germany. The various native languages are mostly focused in the more rural portions of the nation, in the villages and towns. But the main languages written and spoken in the cities are German and Polish, because it is much more simple to print signs in two languages than dozens. Never mind the fact that these native languages might not even have written alphabets to begin with. The millions of Prussian Germans and Poles mainly live in the cities, and the native Africans live in the rural areas. The Africans in the cities have adopted German (or Polish) culture to varying degrees. Besides, there would be a constant flow of Poles into New Germany, as there is no evidence that the French Empire's opinion of them has changed since the colony was founded in 1902.

Yank 03:36, May 23, 2011 (UTC)

WIP
Got me as to what the problem was. But, I restored it and was able to remove the WIP tag. Don't think that was the issue, mind.

Reminds me of errors that I've been getting lately, with the newest version of Firefox. Would you happen to have the new version of it as well? If so, just close the page, and open it up again fresh, which should help.

Lordganon 00:48, May 10, 2011 (UTC)

Even more confusing, then. Weirder still, it has no issue with me editing it, lol. Come back to it in.... ten(?) hours when the wiki servers have had their down time, hopefully that will do some good. Lordganon 05:02, May 10, 2011 (UTC)

Heh. I suppose that's a start, though still doesn't help us find out what's wrong, lol. I have had more reports of this going on, mind - and it's something to do with wikia being screwy. Things such as people not able to edit user talk pages, and the like, lol. Weird all around, I suppose. I know I'm having extreme difficulties categorizing pages and files, lol. Just hope that they fix it soon, I guess. Lordganon 05:01, May 21, 2011 (UTC)

Reply to your inquires
Sorry I have not been able to get back to you as soon as I should have. Been busy with life and slow internet, etc. etc.

Anyway... I will gladly help as much as I can with Kahokia. Winnipeg, before the Panama Canal, was one of the biggest and fastest growing cities in not only Canada, but the world. Being the link between East and West would help with this.

However, with a French Quebec, and an independent Alaska that controls the East and West of OTL Canada, this role might not be as large. But (if you say Global warming is happening), it could be a link with the North (say the OTL port of Curchill), as well as with Alaska and French Quebec.

Another thing I will mention is that flooding is a serious problem. In the spring, melting snow and run off can lead the north flowing Red River (from OTL Minnesota) can lead to Winnipeg and the Red River Valley being inundated with water, and Winnipeg, being situated on the fork of the Assiniboine and Red Rivers, may bear the brunt of the flood. After a massive flood in 1950, this lead the government to build the Red River Floodway, which barely held back the "Flood of the Century" in 1997, though this year is proving to be a headache flood wise in all of Southern Manitoba, so that can be elaborated upon if you wish.

Now, I know I'm late for the English elections, so I'm not going to cast a vote unless you absolutely need it.

For the moment, I may have to pass on the stories. I'm to busy to be able to devote my full attention span to it (I've already been called away three time since I started this... now four >.<). In the future, I will be glad to take a look at it!

I have nothing new to suggest for Napoleon's World. I have been having my own problems with FTBW, and have not had the time to work on it as much as I want, nor the ideas to actually work on it more.

Other than that... nothing much else I can say. Good luck, and hopefully We can chat again soon!

19th Century Alternate Destinies
I have some ideas for alternate destinies of people who lived during the 1800's.

Yank 00:18, June 12, 2011 (UTC) I've started the ball rolling on Walker. Could you please help me by fleshing it out?
 * Eli Whitney- Shortly after the POD he founds the Whitney Firearms Company. In short he fills a role similar to Samuel Colt's.
 * William Walker- American military advisor to Central America, he assimilates and eventually becomes the Central American President. He lives far longer than OTL, and becomes one of the premier elder statesmen of Central America. An alternate take on him is that he, by some quirk of fate, was born in Central America instead of Tennesee.
 * Ulysses S. Grant- After his retirement from the military in the mid-to-late 1860's he enters the Whiskey-making business. By the time of his death in 1885 his whiskey has a reputation of quality that allows his company to last to the present day. OTL equivilent: Jack Daniel (I based it off of Grants drinking habit.)
 * Arthur Conan Doyle- Infamous serial murderer. This world's Jack the Ripper.
 * Sanford Dole- The Hawaiian equivilent to William Walker. Much more popular than Walker, as his policies strengthened Hawaii's position and his alliance with the United States helped make Hawaii's existance secure.

Yank 17:59, June 8, 2011 (UTC)

Same thing with Whitney.

First of all, congratulations on hitting the 500 mark! Napoleon's World really is one of the best TLs I've ever seen, and I'm proud to be associated with it, even if my contributions have been pretty minor.

Also, I love your Friendly Isles article. It fits perfectly with the ATL Coolidge's style, and there isn't really anything I would change, but I might add a few extra things in, if you don't mind.

Napoleon's World Sporting Competitons
I don't mean to be rude, but I noticed you had been spending an awfull amount of time on the sporting competitions of Napoleon's World timeline. I know sports are your area of expertise, but shouldn't you be spending more time on more estential parts of the timeline? Many of the nation pages I've seen consist mainly of the opening portion of the article and nothing else. I'm doing my best to word this question politely, as don't want to insult your skills at writing alternate history (which are superb).

Yank 17:12, June 16, 2011 (UTC)

Luigi Pampini
I have an idea for Luigi Pampini's article. What if he was assasinated by an ODESSA-like organization of De Gaulle-supporting former Churat agents created by De Gaulle himself shortly before the end of the civil war. As they would have secretly carried on Albert II's policies, it would be very plausible if they killed Hitler rather than the Churat. Do you know what they would call it? The name would include "Churat" somehere.

Yank 18:16, June 16, 2011 (UTC)

Jaguar Cars (Napoleon's World)
What if Jaguar was a Mexican car company rather than a British brand? It'd be the mexican version of Rolls Royce or Mercedes Benz. A luxury status-symbol brand. The name would make sense, given the importance of the Jaguar in Aztec life and culture.

Hi KingSweden! I had forgotten to ask to you something. Originally you had put that such a Ernesto Platera was the successor of Salvador Allende (like in this article). But with the changes that you did, ultimately, only Allende will govern until his death? Regards! --Katholico 04:57, June 27, 2011 (UTC)


 * I think that 1952 is a probably option, specially because according your description of Chile the country in this timeline has had a very unstable history, totally opposite to the real history, where Chile has had an institutional orgaization very solid since his independence (with a few exceptions). By the way, I saw that you already created the article of Ernesto Platera... I was going to try to suggest you a name of a real people for to be the successor of Allende, but seems is late. jejeje Regards! --Katholico 02:01, July 1, 2011 (UTC)

Chernobyl (Napoleon's World)
I have an idea for the Chernobyl nuclear power plant. What if it was a nuclear power plant in Alaska instead of OTL Ukraine? This is because I doubt the French are building nuclear power plants in Russia, considering how Anti-Russian French officials tend to be. Also, what if the Alaskans learned from the mistakes of their American allies, allowing the Cherobyl Nuclear Power Plant to operate uneventfully?

Yank 01:10, June 28, 2011 (UTC)

I wanted the morbid irony of having a Chernobyl that is still peacefully operating. And I used a photo of Mkhail Kalinin. The man the Soviets renamed Konigsburg to honor.

I meant his more watchable films (such as Ghost Rider or Face/Off). Besides, Gene could have made his own films as well. I'm just saying that he would be a pretty decent action hero. He could be an equivilent to Bruce Willis (who is currently serving as the President of East Prussia), rather than Nic Cage.

 * Santiago de Chile would the host city; have the infrastructure and nearby are located important ski zones in the Andes Mountains (like complexs of Portillo, Farellones, etc). For the dates, i think that if are the Winter Games, then, the event should be realized in the Winter of host country. Is my logic jeje Regards! --Katholico 02:44, July 12, 2011 (UTC)

More 19th Century Alternate Destinies
Some more ideas for alternate destinies in the century less talked about in Napoleon's World. I'm going to add to the list as I go on.
 * 1) Jesse James-Owner of the largest bank chain in the southern United States. Since the Civil War never happened in Napoleon's World, his childhood (being born in war-torn Missouri) would have been a lot more peaceful than in OTL. Likely one of the effects of a lack of a civil war could be that the James brothers being able to gain a proper education. Thus, they would be able to use their ruthlessness legitmately in the business world. Instead of a criminal gang roving from town to town robbing and killing, they would be legitmate businessmen slowly increasing their control of the banking establishment in the South. I could see the chain expanding into the north, and maybe other parts of the world in the years between their deaths and today. It's a riff off my idea for Hermann Goering (art thief becoming legal art collector).
 * 2) John Henry "Doc" Holliday- Instead of becoming a dentist he became a surgeon, and is known as one of the best surgeons in the west. He eventually becomes the Surgeon General of the United States, either after or before Edward Lincoln.
 * 3) Arthur Conan Doyle- Real-life Sherlock Holmes. Holmes still exists, but it is a fictionalized version of Doyle's real life. Simmilar to how James Bond is said to be a fictionalized account of Ian Fleming's experiences as a spy in MI6.

Yank 04:19, July 19, 2011 (UTC)

Novel Ideas
What if you set the first one in the immediate aftermath of Napoleon's victory in the Napoleonic Wars. It'd be interesting to see the immediate effects of the POD.

Yank 00:30, July 22, 2011 (UTC)

For myself, I think having a series of novels, similar to Harry Turtledove's Timeline 191 series would be cool. But two stories I think you should do is the Iron Revolution in France and the Anarchy in England.

Tbguy1992 18:26, July 22, 2011 (UTC)


 * You are right about the Iron Revolution, and the need to shrink it down and that. But, maybe in the same vein you might also want to do the French Civil War in the 1940's, mostly due to the fact that it is like our real World War Two. That would be interesting to see, in my opinion.


 * Tbguy1992 14:59, July 23, 2011 (UTC)


 * Personally, I think that writing a novel about the French Civil War would be an excellent way to develop it: actually writing the entire thing out would help a lot, I'm sure, to help flesh out the story.

Alternate Destinies
I had a couple of alternate destinies come to me recently. Yank 02:31, July 25, 2011 (UTC)
 * 1) Carlos Mencia- Hugo Chavez-style President of of Central America
 * 2) Jerry Springer- Jerry Farwell-style televangelist.

Which sounds better to you? Carlos Mencia as a dead drug lord? Or Carlos Mencia as living Central American President? I'm liking drug lord more and more. Plus I would think there would be a higher chance of him being named Carlos if his family staid in Central America. Either that, or he changes his name to increase his street cred.

Yank 03:22, July 25, 2011 (UTC)

I changed it being him dying in 2008 for darkly humorous reasons. 2008 was the year the god-awful show Mind of Mencia was cancelled.Let's make it May 16th, 2008. Here's how it goes down. Mencia is caught in his mansion in San Pedro Sula (where he was born). He attempts to hold out in the mansion as his guards are slowly butchered. He then charges out, guns a-blazin', yelling a phrase (I don't know what) that becomes immortalized, and gets absolutely riddled with bullets.

K'atharan Succession
Sure, K'athar was your idea in the first place, so it's probably a good idea for you to work on the article, too. I've tried to stick to your ideas from the article (though I think some of the canon may have changed since then).

Oh, and you might want to check out these ideas for the other K'atharan wars; and see if there's anything you want to change/add. Mister Sheen 12:10, July 26, 2011 (UTC)

Ideas
I have a few ideas for Napoleon's World. Mostly focused on Charlie Sheen. What if he kept his birth name of Carlos Estevez instead of using the stage name Charlie Sheen? After all, there is less pressure to adopt a stage name when he isn't an actor. What if, for irony's sake, Charlie has a recurring role on the Napoleon's World analogue of Two and a Half Men as himself? And what if he has a role in one of the Scary Movie films (or other equililent satirical film series) as a strung out, drug-addicted parody of himself? In other words unintentionally mirroring his recent breakdown.

Film Studios of Napoleon's World
We've allready created the page for the film industry of Napoleon's World. So let's lay down the articles for the studios creating these films. I've got some ideas for some film studios otherwise unmentioned by the various articles of Napoleon's World. Yank 05:28, August 5, 2011 (UTC)
 * Atari Films- Japanese government-sponsored film studio. Mostly makes serious films on various subjects. Including a very popular (yet contraversial) biopic on Joseph Stalin. NOTE: The only video game company in Japan is Nintendo. 
 * Villa Films- I want to rebrand the Mexican film studios. I want them to be an equivilent to Britain's OTL film industry. I don't think English films would become an major player in the industry until quite a few years after the Anarchy. I would like Villa films to be an equivilent to the famous Hammer Films studio. I've started to think that the Mexican film industry would be saturated with horror films and films about the supernatural. We are, after all, talking about a country that's culturally obsessed with death and dying. I would think that the article could be changed with little disruption.
 * Bonaparte Films- I would think it would be impossible for us to have a timeline with such a POD to not have a major French film studio. Some of their best films would be films on the comedic effects of a French person encountering or otherwise dealing with an American. One such example is a film called "The Ringer" which is about an American housewife being mistaken for an identical Churat Agent, and vice-versa.

Real people for Colombian Presidents
Hi KingSweden! How are you? I can ask you if I can suggest you, names from real people for some Presidents of Colombia in Napoleon's World?

If you want to stay with one of the presidents that already you placed there, please let me know. Regards! --Katholico 02:04, August 11, 2011 (UTC)

Ok, here there is a list of proposed presidents:

For the period (1840 - 1874) between Santander and Iglesias Era:


 * 1840 – 1848 José Antonio Páez
 * 1848 – 1852 Pedro Alcántara Herrán
 * 1852 – 1856 Carlos Soublette
 * 1856 – 1864 Tomás Cipriano de Mosquera
 * 1864 – 1868 Juan Crisóstomo Falcón
 * 1868 - 1870 Manuel Murillo Toro
 * 1870 – 1874 Rafael Núñez Moledo

The duration of the presidential terms are only conjetures. jeje

For the XX Century, I searched real politicians who were coinciding with the description of your presidents in the list.


 * Juan Vicente Gómez in replacement of Emanuel Tremas
 * José Gil Fortoul in replacement of José de la Santa Cruz
 * Enrique Olaya Herrera in replacement of David Castro
 * Carlos Eugenio Restrepo in replacement of José Luis de López y Santa Maria
 * Rafael Uribe Uribe (in OTL assessinated in 1914) in replacement of Samuel de Las Plazas de Uribe
 * Alfonso López Pumarejo in replacement of Julian Salvador
 * Rómulo Gallegos or Jorge Eliécer Gaitán (but he born in 1903, then, at 1931 he would have just 28 years old) in replacement of Humberto Ruiz
 * Luis Beltrán Prieto in replacement of Héctor Sanchez
 * Rafael Caldera in replacement of Tomás de las Bondejas
 * Mariano Ospina Pérez in replacement of Oscar Montero
 * Roberto Urdaneta Arbeláez in replacement of Diego Ortegas
 * Rómulo Betancourt in replacement of Miguel Teguís
 * Carlos Andrés Pérez in replacement of Carlos Triago
 * Belisario Betancur in replacement of Felipe Ramón Hernández
 * Andrés Pastrana in replacement of José Amara
 * Horacio Serpa Uribe or Francisco Arias Cárdenas in replacement of Carlos Arenas

Ontario
Sorry I haven't got back to you sooner, I've been offline for days and I probably won't get back properly until Saturday.

 * Off the top of my head, the Lake of the Woods would make an absolutely awesome place for a battle, or possibly even a short campaign. It's the biggest lake in the US other than the Great Lakes; it's full of islands (over 14 000, according to Wikipedia), many of which could easily hold fortifications; and it's partially in Ontario as well as Minnesota, so that helps with your original question as well.
 * I'll read up on the Alaskan and Indian Wars and see if I can come up with anything more specific; but pretty much anywhere in the north would make for an interesting skirmish campaign. - Mister Sheen 15:48, August 20, 2011 (UTC)

Whether this threat is real or a product of the dictator's paranoia doesn't matter. The ODESSA-like organization (which were Edmond's supporters) would inherit these files. And, if they were followers of De Gaulle they would have a Franco-centric world view. If Hitler was considered a threat (which is why he fled France) he would have a thick file even if he did nothing to deserve it. And with the obvious fact that he is not a French citizen of the Empire, he would be a target of the ODESSA -analogue.
 * 2) Clint Eastwood- He had his start in movies in the horror film "Return of the Creature". What if, instead of turning to Westerns he remained a horror movie icon? I could very well see him playing Van Helsing or another similar monster hunter.
 * 3) Lon Chaney- The first actor to officially play Dracula. He was the first choice, but the role fell to Lugosi when he died of throat cancer. With Lugosi potentially too busy acting as a real-life Dracula to care about film, he could have gained the part. We just need to have him have a surgury to remove the throat cancer before it kills him.The operation could possibly affect his voice in a way that would make him perfect for the part.

You're likely right on Chaney.

What if Eastwood had made a Dracula film a few years before the Van Helsing Trilogy? The first Van Helsing movie was set just after the end of the events of Dracula. It would makes sense that he'd be Van Helsing in that film too. A plausible explanation for how it avoids the crushing regulation of the American film industry is simple. The film is produced by a British film studio called Anvil Film Productions (see the pun?). I would like to know who you would like to see as Count Dracula.

Yank 01:08, August 22, 2011 (UTC)

How about we have the Dracula film be the one that gives Villa Studios international recognition, which allows them to make better movies than what is typically known for Mexican cinema. After all, the Mexican film industry wouldn't be doing so well without a sucessful example to inspire people. It wouldn't be a Spagetti Western persay, but something similar. Villa's films would get better as they can afford to hire better staff for their films. Again I ask who would be a good Dracula?

Yank 01:55, August 22, 2011 (UTC)

What if he's played by an actor hailing from his native Romania, and resembles the real man he was inspired by (aka Vlad the Impaler)?

Scotland and the Clans
Off hand, Smoggy is probably the best source here. But, I expect that looking it up on wikipedia and going through their sources would get you further. Not the article itself, mind, but the links given and their referenced sources at the bottom of the page. Lordganon 21:19, August 22, 2011 (UTC)

Ok Scottish Clans, first the whole tartan wearing, highland games throwing, sword dancing thing is primarily a Georgian/Victorian invention (Partularly between the reins of George IV, as regent and Victoria).

So if your thinking of ending the Napoleanic wars in the 1810's then none of that will happen. Also the Highland clearances would have been reduced, so imagine the Highlands with a lot more people and fewer Sheep.

The Clans that backed the Stuarts:

Clan Baird, Clan Cameron, Clan Chisholm, Clan Drummond, Clan Farquharson, Clan Grant of Glenmoriston, Clan Hay, Clan MacLea, Clan MacBain, Clan MacColl, Clan Macdonald of Clanranald, Clan MacDonald of Glencoe, Clan MacDonnell of Glengarry, Clan MacDonald of Keppoch, Clan Macfie, Clan Macgillivray, Clan Gregor, Clan MacInnes, Clan Mackintosh, Clan MacIver, Clan Mackinnon, Clan Maclachlan, Clan MacLaren, Clan MacLeod of Raasay, Clan MacNeil of Barra, Clan Macpherson, Clan Menzies, Clan Morrison, Clan Ogilvy, Clan Oliphant, Clan Robertson, Clan Stewart of Appin, Clan Urquhart.

One of these clans would be ideal for making a Royal House fo Scotland.

However if you were thinking of installing a Jacobite claimant to the Scottish throne the last true claiment Henry Stuart died in 1807 with no children (he was a Cardinal in the Vatican!), the claimant between 1807 and 1819 was the King of Sardinia, Charles IV a great-great-great-grandson of Charles I of England and Scotland. So to the possible divisions, Traditionally the leaders of the Western Isles of Scotland (and some of the mainland) were called The Lords of the Isles The MacDonalds were the traditional rulers of that area. They also controlled the Isle of Man.

The Northern Isles (Shetland and Orkney) could be another division. The area is strongly linked to Scandinavia.

As for the mainland south of Edinburgh/Glasgow and the east coast or The Lowlanders who speak lowland Scots and the Highlanders who speak Scottish Gaelic are the obvious divisions, the peoples at the time didn't get on with each other, in fact highlanders used to called the lowlands a' Ghalldachd (roughly 'the place of the foreigner')

Each area could have a seperate 'Kingdom' making the 'Kingdom of Scotland' really the 'United Kingdom of Scotland' under one ruler, like England and Scotland was until 1707.

Or Scotland could be made up out of seperate 'Kingdoms' unified for their own economic good (a bit like the real European Union)

If you need any more help give send me a message --Smoggy80 17:52, August 23, 2011 (UTC)

Sean Connery as a dictator? interesting? I'm guessing the whole Bond, James Bond thing never happens then? Also you may want to know that his ancestors emigrated from Ireland during the potato famine sometime between 1845 and 1852, it's possible that Napoleon (or more precisly his decendants) organised better than the British did and the mass migration and deaths from Ireland may not have happened, and therefore Connery could be Irish not Scottish, and also his first name is Thomas not Sean.

After all it is possible for a foreign national to be a major person in a nation think Che Gueva who was Argentinian, but helped lead the revolution in Cuba. --Smoggy80 16:25, August 24, 2011 (UTC)

More Napoleon's World Ideas Volume 2
Yet another dose of my ideas for Napoleon's World. Yank 17:22, September 1, 2011 (UTC)
 * 1) Robert England- Renowned professor of some, prestegious college.
 * 2) Joseph Mengele (1911-1990)- World-famous French doctor. Noted for his brilliant (if contraversial) procedures, and for sucessfully completing otherwise impossible operations.

Some more 19th Century alternate destinies for Napoleon's World Yank 03:57, September 8, 2011 (UTC)
 * José Arámbula (aka Pancho Villa)- Famous Mexican General during the Centroamerican War in 1903. My idea of the war is that it's an all-time economic low for Central America, which makes them the target of the Columbians. They turn a minor incident into justification to invade, and set on conquering Central America. Mexico doesn't like this one bit, and declares war on Columbia to support Central America. Villa gets to exibit his OTL strategic genius with full government sponsorship, and the Columbians are defeated. He is then elected president when the wartime President decides to pull out of the race.
 * George Custer - A wild west showman along the likes of Buffalo Bill Cody. He had a personality more suited for drama than for the military.
 * Harry Longabaugh (aka the Sundance Kid)- Bounty hunter with the nickname of the "Sundance Kid". Eventually retired from the business, and gained a liking the developing media known as "motion pictures", and funded an annual film festival that would eventually become known as the Sundance Kid Film Festival.
 * Eli Whitney III- Firearms designer, and son of Eli Whitney. He is the man who makes his father's revolver designs a reality. The Whitney Firearms company is a family business, like the Colt company it emulates. Officially he is the third in the family to have the name, as the father of the cotton gin Elit was also named Eli.

Star Trek (Napoleon's World)
I have some ideas for an altered version of the orginal Star Trek series. The Captain is Christopher Pike, not Captain Kirk. Kirk (who may or may not be played by Shatner), is instead a arrogant and meglomanical madman who intends to transfrom the Federation into his personal empire. Chekov has an increased role due to Alaska's longtime alliance with the United States.

Rebecca Black
Okay, this might be a little far-fetched (even by the standards of Alternate History), but what if, in Napoleon's World, Rebecca Black was a child prodigy classical violinist? - Mister Sheen 11:27, October 9, 2011 (UTC)

Dracula (Napoleon's World)
I think I have the perfect choice for Dracula in the 60's Dracula film. I think John Carradine would be an excellent choice. He was Dracula in two of the "Monster Mash" films of the 40's, but was treated very badly. In both films his Dracula was more like an expendible henchman than the credible villain that he should be. I consider it karmic justice that he would be given a meatier Dracula role. But how would the 60-year-old Carradine play the unaging vampire? I propose that they follow the novel, which has the Count gaining amore youthful appearance as the story progresses (presumably when he feeds). This can be accomplished by makeup and stunt doubles during the action scenes. We can also mention this Dracula's intended resemblance to Vlad the Impaler, the inspiration behind the character itself.

Film (Napoleon's World)
I have an idea for an alternate destiny for Napoleon's World. Yank 23:56, October 16, 2011 (UTC)
 * Leon Trotsky: Famous science fiction actor and director, whose films were groundbreaking relevations in cinema. His films have subtle, yet contraversial Marxist messages imbeded in them. Most feature either religion or capitalism in an antagonistic sense in some form. They are so contraversial that French Churat members force him into exile in either Alaska or America, where he continues to make films. The fact that they are so contraversial in France makes his work immensely popular in America, where he becomes incredibly wealthy. At the end of his life he retires to Mexico, where he dies in his villa in Coyoacán of natural causes (rather than the ice ax he got in real life).

infobox for nations
Hi how are you! I noticed that some articles like Chile and Paraguay don't have yet the nation infobox. I can put the templates? jeje Or you will do it later maybe? Regards! --Katholico 05:41, October 21, 2011 (UTC)

Hello Again!
Yes, indeed, it has been a while. But I'm back to university, taking three history courses, so I'm getting lots of ammunition for Alternate Histories!

Anyway, about the leaders of the Gulf States (or for that matter, the Confederacy before hand and the North CSA after) are still a bit fuzzy, mostly due to my lack of knowledge of the area. I will definitely take into consideration the names you gave me, but if you could help me with other names, that would also be good! I'm not really a "make up names" kinda guy, as I prefer to go with RL people, but I will do it if nothing else comes up.

Also, If you haven't noticed, I'm starting an Alternate Destinies page (inspired by yours with Napoleon's World), but it will need a lot of work done. Also starting to work on culture and entertainment, but I just don't have the knowledge to do alot of the stuff, especially with sports...

...so, I was wondering, if your not to busy, if you would like to help out with the sports pages on FTBW? I would give you free reign over it to do whatever you want with it, as I'm not in any position to argue about it. About the only thing I could really do is hockey and some sports, and then only a brief overview. I most likely could come up with teams and Leagues, but that is most likely about it.

I know your busy, but any help you could give would be greatly appreciated! Lieut. Tbguy1992: Profile; Talk 14:10, October 21, 2011 (UTC)

Well, SW and I have kinda had a... disagreement recently, but thanks for the advice. I could most likely just make up whatever I want for the South anyway and it should work.

And football teams will work out just fine. I can most likely come up with stuff for baseball and such, it just own't be that good lol.

Also, if you have any ideas for movies, TV shows and such, feel free to add them in as well under their respective articles. Thank you! Lieut. Tbguy1992: Profile; Talk 17:03, October 21, 2011 (UTC)


 * Heh, yeah... Well, frankly, I just want to have someone other than a George Bush be the stereotypical "Neo-Conservative" president in that time frame, and since Reagan is out (being a Californian and head of a Terrorist Group), so going to move Perot up to another state, like Sequoyah or Cimarron. And, yeah, I think I remember Byrd being a West Virginian; the reason I chose him, mostly becuase I do have a rough idea for "modern" CSA Presidents since about the Unification in 1997 (Ted Turner, Bill Clinton, Stephen Colbert... that sorta thing).

Most of the places and such that you see now in the Presidential articles are just their OTL dates. I might be changing some of them around, maybe re-naming them, I don't know. Its more place holder at the moment than definitive. Lieut. Tbguy1992: Profile; Talk 08:59, October 23, 2011 (UTC)

My mistake in Colombian Presidents
I apologize for my mistake when i put the links in the Colombian presidents article. i copy the Christian Democrat link and i put in the place of Mariano Ospina Pérez, and I did not notice it before. :( You, now, remove this and put other name (Carlos Lleras Restrepo) instead. Again, I apologize for this. --Katholico 06:01, October 27, 2011 (UTC)


 * OK ^_^ Thanks --Katholico 17:03, October 27, 2011 (UTC)

Ed Wood (Napoleon's World)
I've started Ed Wood's alternate destiny. Basically the same low-budget tendancies that made Ed Wood the "worst filmaker" OTL instead make him an innovative cinematic genius.
