Open tasks

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

Map requests

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]

World War I in Timeline-191 and World War II in Timeline-191 - While there is a map of the world before the war in both articles, they could also benefit from maps of the battles themselves showing army movements.

Completed requests
