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.

I hope you can put some actions to stop that person.

Notability

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

US Pays Off Debt Equals ASB?
Is it safe to say that America ever getting out of its national debt is unavoidably ASB? If so, which tag specifically?

Clash of the Eagles
I request the following page be restored: https://althistory.fandom.com/wiki/Clash_of_the_Eagles

- 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?
- Experiment632 (talk) 20:51, February 25, 2020 (UTC)
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?
Experiment632 (talk) 21:15, February 27, 2020 (UTC)
- 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?

South Ossetia Escalation
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? Experiment632 (talk) 14:50, March 4, 2020 (UTC)
- 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?
- Experiment632 (talk) 05:24, March 7, 2020 (UTC)
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? Experiment632 (talk) 00:22, March 18, 2020 (UTC)
- 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?

- Experiment632 (talk) 22:35, March 20, 2020 (UTC)
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?

Interesting RA article about DMC
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?
Also this:
Vixen might be butterflied away, but since the designer is a former DMC employee, that motorhome would end up as a DMC brand.

Issues with .svg files
Hi NuclearVacuum
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)

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?
1234chernobyl (talk) 09:08, March 19, 2020 (UTC)
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.

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.

Pax Russiana
I'm strongly considering taking the WWIII Alternative Outcome page in Atlantic Resolve and making it into a new alternate history category titled Pax Russiana. It will also virtually be a resurrection of the retconned Russian victory edition of Atlantic Resolve. Since this new AH is a splinter from Atlantic Resolve (basically an AH within an AH), could the Pax Russiana category page be placed in the main Atlantic Resolve category or should I just make it standalone with links used instead? https://althistory.fandom.com/wiki/WWIII_Alternative_Outcome_(Atlantic_Resolve) Experiment632 (talk) 18:09, April 16, 2020 (UTC)

1983 Doomsday
I updated by northwest arkasas article. My new update says that the fayettvile gangs stated consolidating and start doing more raids at Joplin and Hot Springs Ect. This led to the the 2016 formation of anti Fayetville gang collation. The members were Joplin Hot Spings Verdigriss Pine Bluff and the United States. Should I drop any members of the collecaiton. I the update also says The walton had been living for years on their fortified estate had decided that with new collation trying to reclaiming fayettevile it would be in thier best interst to aid the colleaciton. This paid off for the waltons because Stuert Walton was named had of the provisoal fayettvile goverment by the collation.
A few years I left a reguest to adopt the municpal states of the prosival. I forgot that I sent the reguest. I recently decided to reguest adoption o the municipal states only to find out that i already requested it . One won complained so I assume I am the new owner of the municapl states.

I feel that one the key player was found to have rape a gril aanother one was dealign in durgs and a third went on a rasict rant. The power player in the civic rights party to get in trouble had the bigest sandle. During the early times after doomsday this guy was a candibal but he claimed to have given it up after thinks stablized. He was lieing and ocaisly kidping peope (Mostly non whites because he was a racist) and eating them. I hope the canablist polaiton is not to convtersial.

The Mention Part.
"In the case of the signing of a new agreement and the abolition of the existing governance structure of the USSR, members of the State Emergency Committee could lose their top government posts [38] . However, Yanaev denied that the GKChP members held on to their posts [12 ][13] . In July 1991, at a confidential meeting between Gorbachev, Yeltsin and Nazarbayev , an agreement was reached that Nazarbayev should become the prime minister of the new Union, and the composition of the cabinet should be radically updated; according to Gorbachev, the conversation was recorded by the KGB, and its contents became known to members of the Emergency Committee"
Translation from:
"В случае подписания нового договора и упразднения существовавшей структуры управления СССР члены ГКЧП могли лишиться своих высших государственных должностей[38]. Однако Янаев отрицал, что члены ГКЧП держались за свои должности[12][13]. В июле 1991 года на конфиденциальной встрече Горбачёва, Ельцина и Назарбаева была достигнута договорённость, что премьер-министром нового Союза должен стать Назарбаев, а состав кабинета министров должен быть радикально обновлён; по версии Горбачёва разговор был записан сотрудниками КГБ, и его содержание стало известно членам ГКЧП"

User Iluv80s not comprehending the rules of 1983:Doomsday
Hello
There is one user, User:Iluv80s , who has been doing frequent violations of the Editorial Guidelines of the 1983: Doomsday timeline by doing unauthorized edits on pages he didn't adopt or ask permission beforehand to their creator. He doesn't follow the protocol of clearly explaining desired changes to the main talk page before doing them, he always assume that if no one take notice when he mentions something, he automatically gets the right to edit articles he deems fit (one exemple being mentionning in a thread about how Shakira survived Doomsday: no one took interest therefore he unanimously edited the music page of Doomsday adding Shakira without consulting anyone or mentionning in the talk page thread he would do that). I've been EXTREMELY patient with him (even tried to help him adapt to the style and rigourous method required for the timeline but he doesn't get it and keep insisting on doing changes already deemed unrealistic), but I just can't anymore. These changes are made with good will but he repeatly fails to realize he's not following the proper rules. Would you please be kind enough to explain to him that he must seek authorization and consensus before going out doing edits? Thank you very much.

Questions and suggestions
Dear Admin!
I want to ask some questions and giving some small suggestions:
- Well, what if Russian Empire won Eastern Front in WW1 (by modernization of economy and military, also political system). Will there be facism or just a Brothers' reconcilation? Is there any chance of the 2nd World War or anything?
- I know that the "New Union" timeline is tempoarily suspended. But concern about Vietnam's transition to democracy, I think a guy could do this. Pernament Secretary of the Secretariat of the Central Committee (Thường trực Ban Bí thư Ban Chấp hành Trung ương Đảng) Trần Xuân Bách. He has a probably ok viewpoint for transition to democracy (as a Vietnamese myself and this is IMO). However, a collective leadership must need for that. Economically liberal Prime Minister Võ Văn Kiệt or Phan Văn Khải would be ok (if they have the supported of Police/Công an)
- Well, what is your opinion about Apostol, the Romanian 1st Deputy Prime Minister and Ceausescu's opponent. Will he become a competent leader?

Naming Question
Hi Nuc! Thanks god, my family and I are fine, despite the current situation about the COVID-19. I hope you are fine as well.
About your question, I think that name wouldn't work. First of all, Los Incas is a gentilic, refers to the incan people (The Incas). Naming a country that way, is like saying for example Republic of the Americans (República de Los Americanos). Is not the same as other names like "La Pampa" which is a place, or "El Salvador" which was a name created for avoid confusion with the San Salvador province. If the Peru-Bolivian United States had have been succefully created, that country will be named in short just Perú-Bolivia, like Austria-Hungary or maybe Incan Republic (República Inca, which in some ocassions is a sinonym we used to refer Perú). At least this the best i can say about it. I hope this will useful to you. Regards! :) --Katholico (talk) 05:04, June 16, 2020 (UTC)
- You're welcome. It's good to hear that.
- Inca (and other synonyms like Incaico/incaica) in that case refers to the people. The word Argentina come from argentum (silver), and Portuguesa name has his origin in a local legend, which refer a portuguese girl (una niña portuguesa) who drowned in a river, and because that is a rare case. For a country, the word Inca alone don't would work.
- Honestly, I think Perú-Bolivia should be the logical name if you don't go for the tahuantinsuyo idea. Regards! --Katholico (talk) 02:09, June 17, 2020 (UTC)

No COVID-19 equals ASB?
Should AltHistory Wikia operate under the assumption that COVID-19 was inevitable and as such any AH without the virus should be tagged as ASB? Perhaps even create a new ASB tag specifically for this scenario? Experiment632 (talk) 10:51, August 15, 2020 (UTC)

Alaskan military uniforms
I found something that would fit in Russian America.

German Flu (AH Spanish Flu)
To avoid censoring in early 1918 like OTL, the American media labels the pandemic the "German Flu " which has basically implies that Imperial Germany and Kaiser Bill are solely responsible for said pandemic through the use of a new form of gas warfate. Many call for Germany's unconditional surrender while a few even call for their annihilation. Neutral Spain considers joining the Allies. What are the probable short and long-term implications of this?
