Vandalism
Since the TSPTF talk page has been unactive since a long time, I will report this matter directly to you. This user has vandalized several pages and even Eo's user page.
When adding a page for a person on AltHistory Wiki, should proof of OTL notability be required such as a link to the Wikipedia page for the person in question? Experiment632 (talk) 05:39, January 21, 2020 (UTC)
Assistance Please, Good SIr.
Hi there, I was wondering if you could assist me, I don't have the ability to add my timeline to the "Timelines" page. It is under construction, but I plan on fleshing it out. Here is the link
Oh that's right, I'll have to think of another name which won't be easy...it was difficult enough just coming up with CotE. Can you copy the text from the AH without recovering and email it to me so I can determine a new name as well as make off-line edits?
Thanks. I changed title to "South Ossetia Escalation". Would open warfare between the United States and Russia over Georgia in 2008 be enough to suspend/cancel elections or at least temporarily suspend term limits so George W Bush can hold a third term in office?
Even a new Amendment being passed which temporarily suspends presidential term limits whenever the United States is in a declared war with a country capable of destroying America is ASB-Biased? And if World War III happens, it must go nuclear otherwise ASB-Wars?
If the United States militarily intervened in the August 2008 Russo-Georgian War, would we have been able to move enough forces to Georgia in time to prevent the Russians from taking Tbilisi? Win or lose, World War III likely inevitable outcome?

The United States does intervene but the war remains confined to Georgia, Russia, and the Black Sea for roughly 1-2 months so the conflict is still called the Russo-Georgian War. However should the conflict trigger global thermonuclear war, should World War III be added as a separate page to illustrate this escalation or the Russo-Georgian War renamed to World War III?
One possible nuclear escalation is a rogue Russian commander who is a Chechen sympathizer launching a single Iskander missile armed with 50 kt nuclear warhead against Tbilisi. The rogue commander is hoping that Russia and the United States will destroy one another so that the Chechen Republic of Ichkeria can declare breakaway without interference. However Medvedev is able to convince Bush he didn't order the attack so the United States only responds with a single 80 kt B61 nuclear bomb dropped on Grozny since Chechnya was basically responsible. Essentially a scenario somewhat similar to "By Dawn's Early Light". Would this be plausible or slip into the ASB realm?

I recently finished with the course of the Russo-Georgian War with only changes needed are primarily patching up. Is it still plausible or has it gone into the realm of alien space bats? Does it qualify for nuclear alternate history or is that reserved only for larger scale nuclear weapons usage?
Think McCain and Palin would win the elections due to President Bush being able to prevent Russia from being able to takeover Georgia as well as successfully prevent a limited nuclear exchange from becoming a global thermonuclear war? Or would the limited use of nukes plus the overall conflict having killed twice as many US service members as the Iraq and Afghanistan Wars combined mean Obama and Biden win even bigger then OTL?
I think would Elon Musk's Tesla would become the third or fourth Alaskan car company? Basically trying to crack Delorean's dominance in the Alaskan market?
I am not sure who I should contact regarding this issue, but I have an issue with uploading .svg files (they corrupt). I can see the actual file (see here) but the file won't show correctly on any page on the Wikia (see here). Do you know what I could do to solve this, or know who I can contact regarding this? --Realismadder (talk) 07:56, March 17, 2020 (UTC)
Thank you for your reply and the information.
At least now I know. I'll be patient (as everyone has to be in these COVID-19 times). Take care as well! --Realismadder (talk) 07:46, March 18, 2020 (UTC)
About Covid-19 and Pro-Soviet China
Dear head of the ALTHISTORY wiki.
Since our last conversation (about December 2019) which is about the your support of idea. I want to ask this. If democratic China was being influenced by the USS(v)R (US-leaning or absolute neutral), with pressure included of course, will China resist by spreading SARS? A 2nd Sino-Soviet Split occured? Anti-USSR elements?
Fixing: If the China is democratic, which means there is more transparency of information, will the Covid-19 called Chinese virus or something. Because the 1918 flu is called Spanish flu.1234chernobyl (talk) 15:27, March 21, 2020 (UTC)
By the Way: RE: Russian America
The car history of Alaskan automakers is interesting. Maybe what would Alaskan car culture would look like and would be different from its Anglo-American counterparts?
Also, Andaman and Nicobars would become the Roma/Gypsy "Israel" after the war, realizing that the Anglo-Indian population would not be enough, the British tried to get more ideas and decided that the the Roma, an Indian people mixed with European people, would be given some justice if they were transferred to a land dedicated for them. The Andaman and Nicobars were chanced to be the perfect lands for them. Do you think this is a good idea?
So, whatever happened to you restoring the Alphabet Soup and Danielle DeShawn pages? I know you're not taking commissions or requests at this time, but you forgot and I'm gonna do some more stuff like it soon. Both pages were connected, and I'll add the universe's name to the end of the DeShawn page. Hey! What do you think you're doing? (talk) 18:51, March 30, 2020 (UTC)
Hello, is there any chance I could get all my pages deleted? I would much appreciate a fresh start if I ever wish to return to the wiki because my previous work is pretty cringeworthy.
Thank you in advance. Scopatore (talk) 08:31, April 5, 2020 (UTC)
Concerning the King of America Timeline
Hi! Do we know why the King of America TL has been inactive for years? Is anyone willing to adopt it? Because its irritating that nearly every page in this timeline is completely empty aside from a couple of infoboxes, and yet this timeline has an outstanding gold ranking! Things need to be sorted out, however it may be possible.
