I have removed from the article this map which is inspired from [[The Man in the High Castle]] because it is almost entirely speculative and much more precise than what is actually contained in the book. There was already a discussion (in fact 3 discussions) concerning that map in [[Talk:Hypothetical Axis victory in World War II]] with two RfC. In both conclusions of the RfCs it was pointed that this map (and other similar maps as well) should not be included in the article due to [[WP:OR]].

:How is the map based on the show [[WP:OR]] though? The content of that map is contained in the show. -- [[Special:Contributions/2804:248:FB9F:C100:EC87:10EF:7444:BFC1|2804:248:FB9F:C100:EC87:10EF:7444:BFC1]] ([[User talk:2804:248:FB9F:C100:EC87:10EF:7444:BFC1|talk]]) 01:12, 9 February 2023 (UTC)

Template:Vital article

'Alternative', not 'alternate'.

'Alternative history' is an exclusively British English term according to this article, when in fact it is simply correct English, as any good dictionary will attest.

The title of the page should be 'Alternative history' and in the first sentence it should be noted 'often incorrectly referred to as Alternate history '. --217.42.52.22 (talk) 13:39, 21 February 2017 (UTC)H. A. Lynch[reply]

Doesn't matter. "Alternate history" is what it's called in American English, and that's what the article used when it was first started. See Talk:Alternate history/Archive 3#Alternative vs Alternate for a 2015 discussion, and links there to previous discussions on the subject. - BilCat (talk) 13:51, 21 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

There's also the Tumblr site The Alt-Historian, "A Neo-Atomic Tango Thru a World of Dreams: We travel, record, observe, and document-- and are always home just in time for supper."

Removal of almost purely speculative map

I have removed from the article this map which is inspired from The Man in the High Castle because it is almost entirely speculative and much more precise than what is actually contained in the book. There was already a discussion (in fact 3 discussions) concerning that map in Talk:Hypothetical Axis victory in World War II with two RfC. In both conclusions of the RfCs it was pointed that this map (and other similar maps as well) should not be included in the article due to WP:OR.

How is the map based on the show WP:OR though? The content of that map is contained in the show. -- 2804:248:FB9F:C100:EC87:10EF:7444:BFC1 (talk) 01:12, 9 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
