The Times archives are an absolute gold mine for nineteenth and early twentieth century stuff. And they don't charge for the nineteenth century stuff.--Wehwalt (talk) 20:09, 22 July 2008 (UTC) Using UBX for WikiprojectDude, go for it! Happy to contribute.

Thanks!Just letting you know I've joined Wikiproject Althist. Thanks for inviting me! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sultan Pepper (talk • contribs) 13:54, 25 July 2008 (UTC) Zed ResearchYou said this is the origonal reasearch about the zombies from the Zombie Disscussion Page right? I know about that, but in order for zombification to occur the corpse has to be 13 hours or less old and the brian to be fully intact. Well if you get this chat me back okay? Later. --KNLR (talk) 21:39, 28 July 2008 (UTC) Thanks for the idea of User:KNLR/Sandbox. I have already created the web! Thanks again! --KNLR (talk) 17:07, 29 July 2008 (UTC) InvitationAlthough I enjoy alternate history and the works of Harry Turtledove, I'm too busy on the Star Wars Fanon Wiki, which I'm an administrator of. --Michaeldsuarez (talk) 17:13, 29 July 2008 (UTC) Thanks for the invite, but I don't really know the 1632 series. I just noticed some historical / geographical mistakes about my home region Thuringia. Whenever I find other mistakes I am going to correct them, though. Gunnar Hendrich (talk) 18:25, 29 July 2008 (UTC) First, thanks for the invite to the project. Before I decide, though, what kind of commitment is expected from members? I have no problem cleaning up an article now and again and adding Alt History pages to my watchlist for vandalism, but I can't do a huge amount of work. --KNHaw (talk) 05:35, 30 July 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for the invite; sorry for the belated reply. I also have much the same question as KNHaw, though I can probably do a bit more than they can. Another consideration is I have a very low opinion of Turtledove and Stirling as the one book I read (or tried to read in the second case) had severe credibility issues for me. I know a lot more about authors like Piper, Laumer, Leinster, and Moorcock. Edward321 (talk) 13:43, 30 July 2008 (UTC) Thanks for the invitation to the project. I don't think, I can contribute all that much but its an interessting project!

I'd love to join and take up some of the many needed tasks, subject to my (limited) free time and (many) other obligations. Thanks! Andreas Kaganov (talk) 20:40, 31 July 2008 (UTC) Alright, but I still have lots to do, so free time will be in short supply in the future. Thanks. --Michaeldsuarez (talk) 14:50, 1 August 2008 (UTC)
WikiProject Media franchisesDear Zombie Hunter Smurf...If you are still interested in participating in WikiProject Media franchises, please remove your name from the inactive participants list and add it to the active participants list. If you don't have time, but would still like to show some support, you can always add yourself to the sympathizers list. It would be wonderful to see you in the project. Have a nice day! - LA (T) 20:00, 6 August 2008 (UTC) Honored by the offer...but I'm probably not fit to wear the badge. I'm just a wiki surfer, who occasionally makes small changes when they seem obviously necessary. I don't have the time to be a serious contributor. A quick look at my contribs will show you just how much thought I put into my average edit and how long I stay on one general subject area. Aside from someone who's read and very much enjoyed Timeline-191, there's probably not much here worth having on a project. But again, thank you. Mbarbier (talk) 01:35, 7 August 2008 (UTC) (Undid revision 228808968 by Smyth (talk)neither do some of the other nations listed) There are no other nations listed in the "future" section. In the "past and present" sections, every entry is about domination through military force. The China section, however, is nothing but a list of economic growth indicators, without even the slightest suggestion that these might be converted into political domination. This section is therefore completely out of place on this page. – Smyth\talk 19:28, 15 August 2008 (UTC) Clive Egleton Alternate History NovelsHi ZHF. I am curious as to why you undid the addition I made to the list of alternate history novles. Clive Egleton series is an alternate history with divergence in late 1960s although precise time of divergence is not identified. Byrdbraine (talk) 11:35, 18 August 2008 (UTC) NewIm not really wise in the ways of wikipedia (lots of w's :). You invited me and I just saw it now, and I want to join the Alternate History. Do I have to do anything special to get in? Nintendoyoshi (talk) 23:47, 25 August 2008 (UTC) Fair use rationale for Image:Collaborator.jpgThanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Collaborator.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

WikiProject Novels is currently holding a roll call, which we hope to have annually. Your username is listed on the members list, but we are unsure as to which editors are still active within the project. If you still consider yourself an active WP:Novels editor, please add your name back to the Active Members list. Also feel free to join any of our task forces and take a look at the project's Job Centre to get involved! Next month we will begin the coordinator election selection process. We hope to have more involvement and input this time around! More news will be forthcoming. Thanks, everyone! María (habla conmigo) 14:13, 9 September 2008 (UTC) Orphaned non-free image (Image:Scourge of God.jpg) Thanks for uploading Image:Scourge of God.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media). If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice?

WikiProjectMy user talk page states "Please don't invite me into a Wikiproject; I am not interested." Please respect that. -Branddobbe (talk) 21:39, 20 September 2008 (UTC) Reply about WDFThanks for your comment on my talk page about WDF. In some ways, I see your point, but in others I don't. You mention an article of the kind that the no-crystal-ball policy prohibits, Weapons to be Used in World War III. Consider: 1. Article 1 where I write that ray guns and death rays will be used, that giant robots will wander through towns and cities smashing buildings and troops, that anti-gravity equipped aircraft will hover over enemy troops and drop K-bombs ("K for Killer"). I even put in lots of references to various SF stories and Japanese anime for these ideas plus some stuff about giant mutated bees. 2. Article 2 decribes what the Rand Corporation, a major think-tank, has published about weapons of the future; I also cite pulically available documents from the US Armed Forces about their plans to develop new weapon systems, and I discuss and summarize a book written by a military historian about war in the forthcoming century, plus other stuff. Aha, you say -- both are easy. They BOTH violate WP:NOT! 3. Article 3 tells us what various writers and futurologists have said about future war and politics. It too cites references. And again you say, "No, look, Tim, I can see you're being honest or something, but please understand -- articles about the future all violate WP:NOT." I think you can see my point. WDF is not a perfect article, but, to me, it has more in common with #2 and #3 than with #1. Or are you perhaps engaged in a turf war with its author and you want your own futurological ideas to be the only ones acceptable on Wiki? Remember, I encountered this article quite at random and no vested interest in it or in the subject. But for that very reason I think that it has some valuable things to say about how various writers have visualized the future. So I recommend keeping it, editing out some of the unreferenced stuff, and adding missing references. Timothy Perper (talk) 17:13, 22 September 2008 (UTC)
Peshawar LancersI don't know of any other sources that could help, but the ones you have look fine. I just realized I had deleted the article off my watchlist at some point (I think it was back in August when some vandal moved a bunch of pages I had been watching, making a good number of redlinks), so hopefully it's not too late to compliment you for taking the initiative with the article's expansion. If I come across anything interesting over the next few days, I'll let you know. -- Comandante {Talk} 19:20, 23 September 2008 (UTC) After 2 1/2 months...Someone (me) has finally done a review of The Emberverse series....see it here.

Number signsI have no idea how I replaced S.M. with number signs three times in The Domination article while removing an opinionated sentence. Absolutely no idea. Very strange. Sorry.--Wehwalt (talk) 10:56, 25 September 2008 (UTC) List of apocalyptic and post-apocalyptic fiction or "Ahem..."Your edits removed sourced (albeit improperly sourced) material from the wiki. Care to restore and correct those deleted items that actually had passable citations? Some warranted deletion, but the majority just needed a touch of cleanup. MrZaiustalk 02:57, 29 September 2008 (UTC)
QuestionYour use of the word novel makes me think my use of the Roanoke term was in reference to World War Z. It was not, it was in reference to the zombie survival guide, in the section about reported zombie attacks throughout history. I hope I'm making my confusion clear.

This newsletter was automatically delivered by TinucherianBot (talk) 05:32, 3 November 2008 (UTC) Reference?Hey, I know that I should have a reference, but the thing is - I only used the BBC website to find out how many zombie attendees we had to beat in Nottingham, and I later decided I didn't need that as that's in the other records listed above. Everything you see on the article is from my own knowledge as I was at the event, so I don't think I need a reference!
Re. WWIIINot a problem, I blocked those IPs that have edited the article for 6 months, protected the article for 6 months, and another admin placed a rangeblock on that university for three hours. In the future a quicker response could have come from reporting the IP to WP:AIV or requesting protection at WP:RFPP. Also, in the future if those edits are made, be sure to mention block evasion and come to me, I intend to take it up with the university in question. -MBK004 17:20, 6 November 2008 (UTC) World domination pop culture sectionThat's alright. You can get rid of it if you want to, I was just thinking we need a popular culture section in an article on world domination don't we so I thought I'd take a crack at it. --Jupiter Optimus Maximus (talk) 11:43, 12 November 2008 (UTC) Orphaned non-free media (Image:298500_com_contest_winner.jpg)

Commonlaw504 (talk) 23:17, 20 November 2008 (UTC)  This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Semper Mars, and it appears to be very similar to another wikipedia page: Heritage Trilogy. It is possible that you have accidentally duplicated contents, or made an error while creating the page— you might want to look at the pages and see if that is the case. This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on the maintainer's talk page. CorenSearchBot (talk) 04:22, 23 November 2008 (UTC) Heritage Trilogysince luna marine and semper mars have no articles of their own yet, shouldn't the summaries be displayed until all 3 books have articles of their own, rather than just provide one big backgrounder?JoshuaKuo (talk) 03:00, 24 November 2008 (UTC) Barnstar of peace
