Open tasks[edit]

There are a lot of articles related to alternate history that need work done to them. Feel free to put any articles in list:

The entire set of articles in the 1632 series needs a lot of work. A 1632 Task Force may also be called for.
The Timeline-191 article needs its plot trimmed.

Map requests[edit]

Often an article relating to alternate history can benefit from a map to describe the political changes to the world. For an example of some maps go here:Maps of Alternate histories. If you would like a map created, post a request below and an interested project member may assist you. The Alternate History Wiki has a bunch of blank maps that may be useful for this. [1]

1632 (novel) - need a map that corresponds with Europe or the Holy Roman Empire of 1631-32.
Code Geass - needs a map for the Holy Britannian Empire, the Chinese Federation, the Euro Universe and the United Federation of Nations.

Completed requests[edit]
