The Independent

Looks like we got a little mention in the Independent a couple of months back.

http://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/gadgets-and-tech/features/could-sites-like-wikia-be-the-future-of-fandom-8340819.html

Although, I must take it upon myself to note that they describe 83DD as a nuclear war engulfing the UK. Only the British would center a global doomsday upon themselves, lol. :D

Oh my Fucking God!! Hahaha, well they are the independent, and they are British. We do have a fondness for saying the world revolves around us...

Who might Rhodi Marsden might be? He definately knows his stuff, so he much have checked out this wiki beforehand. Although it won't be that tough to find stuff about 1983: Dommsday, it is our flagship timeline :D 1 Imp (Say Hi?!) 22:45, February 19, 2013 (UTC)

Where did you find this anyway? 1 Imp (Say Hi?!) 22:50, February 19, 2013 (UTC)

http://community.wikia.com/wiki/Community_Central:Community_Development_Team

They have a subpage titled "Wikis in the News" and I found us listed there.

Cool, huh? Anyways, fact of the matter is that he got an interview with someone at Wikia and they dropped our name.

Have to say, this just tickles me pink! =)

Always nice to see that we're known at there at least to some degree. Curious that wikia told them about it, though.

SS, watch the tongue.

Side note: the bad-mouthery was Imp, not me.

Apologies - read that wrong, and couldn't read it when posting because your signature is the size of a house.

Imp, watch the tongue.

K, sorry. I was just a bitty exited. :L 1 Imp (Say Hi?!) 20:28, February 22, 2013 (UTC)

Community Messages

This is just a little bit of grammar fixing that hardly needs to be touched on at all, but it's bugging me a bit; on the Recent Wiki Activity page, the bullet point about the map contest has an it's missing an apotrophe.  Also, I feel like the last five short sentences can be combined into two or three longer ones that express the same point with unnecessary pauses, but again it's not a big deal.  Cheers.

A somber reminder. Today in history.

I was not sure where to put this, so here it is:

October 1962. The Cuban Missile Conflict .

This contains an alternate history, complete with interviews of survivors.

A question

Who made that logo? Are they still on the wiki, and if so could they help me in making a logo for a certain other wiki I'm an Admin of?~~Myotragus 21:38, July 10, 2014 (UTC)

Villa Cruoninga is the creator, and as the the rest, no. Lordganon (talk) 13:36, July 16, 2014 (UTC)

Making the categories timeline into another category

What about dividing the timelines into separate categories, for example all of the WW1 timelines move into WW1 timeline category and vise versa to clean the timeline category up Matt121 ??? Matt125 (Talk) 04:41, October 28, 2014 (UTC)

It used to be like this, but after a while this system was removed, and the administrators spend a long time removing these categories. The problem is that there aren't really "WWI timelines". Timelines can start at a spot, sure, but timelines progress into many different areas and time periods. For that reason the subcategories were removed, and from then on all timelines just used the timelines category. Mscoree (talk) 11:46, October 28, 2014 (UTC)

^ Exactly. Plus, there are many good TLs with multiple PODs at different times. What do we categorize them as?

Maybe make it from the first POD. So we can have categories Timelines: 1000-1100 for example as a category but it that is another suggestion Matt121 ??? Matt125 (Talk) 03:38, October 30, 2014 (UTC)

Still does not work, for the same reason. Many timelines have more than one PoD, that happen at the same time. There is just no point to this. Lordganon (talk) 11:50, November 1, 2014 (UTC)

10 Years?

After browsing through wikia community central, apparently this says we are, but the top says January 25th 2015. Which one is the correct date? Saturn (Talk/Blog) 23:44, November 20, 2014 (UTC)

Interesting. And Confusing. Because on Nik42's profile it says 26th January, same as the main page. So I think perhaps it might be 26th January. 1 Imp (Say Hi?!) 23:51, November 20, 2014 (UTC)

That's not an exact date. I think he meant it as in "have recently or will soon turn ten years"

Have to go with Nik. Seen a few different dates overall, but can definitely say it was not in December. Lordganon (talk) 12:56, November 23, 2014 (UTC)

Ten days until the big one-o. The countdown begins.... Reximus | Talk to Me! 02:26, January 17, 2015 (UTC)

Anyone care to develop the Althistory where the several calendars currently in use are more generally used/freely switched between - resulting in more complex arguments over anniversaries. Jackiespeel (talk) 17:28, January 19, 2015 (UTC)
