I wasn't using the wiki editor; I was using the inspector tool. The problem was the image I tried to use for Wallace wasn't functioning.

I wouldn't hold my breath. Also color schemes, IMHO, should as a rule be used as the people in a given TL would see them.
The 2019 FIA Formula One World Championship is a planned motor racing championship for Formula One cars which would be the 70th running of the Formula One World Championship. It is recognised by the governing body of international motorsport, the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA), as the highest class of competition for open-wheel racing cars. Fernando Alonso is the reigning World Drivers' Champion. Mercedes-AMG Petronas are the World Constructors' Champions. Alexander Rossi is the reigning World Oval Racing Drivers' Champion.
The following thirty Grands Prix are due to be run as part of the 2019 World Championship. The five tracks highlighted in blue are street circuits. The sixteen circuits highlighted in green are road or circuit courses. The eight tracks highlighted in red are superspeedway oval tracks. One circuit, Monza, is a hybrid oval-road course. Points earned at the superspeedways and Monza also count towards the Oval Racing Championship, as well as the World Championship. The season is scheduled to start on Sunday, February 17, and end on Sunday, December 15.

This is amazing! I'm always a sucker for alt-F1 leagues. I have a few questions/comments:
-What's the POD? Why is F1 a hybrid of its OTL self and IndyCar/CART?
-How different are the cars from OTL F1 cars?
-Is the 'Niki Lauda Ring' a renamed Speilberg/Osterreichring?
-How did Canada break up? Did the Charlottetown or Lake Meech Accords fail?
-The Monza layout you're using in this scenario would be absolutely mental in modern F1 cars!
- Honestly, there isn't a strong POD. My idea was that somehow early F1 is more American, which leads to Indianapolis being a real part of the F1 calendar, and ovals being a more accepted regular part of racing. This means that F1 becomes an international mix of streets, ovals, and road courses. However, this might require better trans-Atlantic travel at the time that the World Championship started.
- IDK. Probably pretty similar, although designed with ovals in mind. I guess they'd also still have to have refueling, if they're gonna do Indy-length races. So maybe they'd look like faster Indycars as much as modern F1.
- Yes.
- Basically Quebec independence following referendum led to discontent in the prairies regarding the dominance of Ontario. This led to eventual independence movements from the four western provinces, who created a very federal state.
- Monza with the oval is one of the craziest things I've ever seen. It's probably impossible to ever make it anything close to safe, but a lot of this is kinda fantastical anyway.

I just hope they still have the NA V10s, because to me that sound is F1. ♥
If Pakistan can do it...
i will leave the creation of infoboxes for pm richard hadlee and pm kapil dev as an exercise for the reader.
(This is the first time I've noticed that Botham's football career happened during his test career. I knew he had played professionally, but I presumed it was when he was a teenager, not while/after he was England captain!)

Cool map!
How did the Republican Alliance rise to popularity, and what's the difference between the Conservatives and the Conservative Loyalists?
L/Demon (pronounced Lemon Demon) is a band based out of Arkham, Massachusetts founded by Miskatonic Univeristy Alumni, Neil Cicierega and Robert "Bo" Burnham. Their 2011 album, Arkham Asylumni is a parody of their times at the university and all the supposed occult events that occur on campus during the late night hours. The three singles from the album are all in a different style. A Bat in the Attic is a comedy song about Dracula being a crime-fighter, but in the day he's trapped in the attic above of the boy's dorms on campus. Colors Out of the Well is a gothic rock song about an urban legend of a meteorite strike that occurred on a farm outside of Arkham. We Didn't End the Major General is a mashup of We Didn't Start the Fire by Johnny Cash, It's The End of the World as We Know It by The Quarrymen, and the classical patter-song Modern Major General by Gilbert and Sullivan

Also classic and also I'm nnow super-curious about the TTL versions of We Didn't Start the Fire and It's The End of the World as We Know It, which presumably have nothing in common with the OTL songs of the same name.

Also, do you mind if I share these with a thread about Lovecraft stuff on another board?

We Didn't Start the Fire was written in 1962 by Johnny Cash, Johnny Horton (who never got into the car accident that ended his life), and Peter La Farge. It was written as a dirge for the victims of the genocide of the Native Americans. It was the opening song of the album Bitter Tears: Ballads of the American Indian.
It's the End of the World as We Know It was written in 1984 by The Quarrymen members John Lennon and Paul McCartney. It was originally composed during the United Kingdom 'Magic' Attacks while the band was stuck in Boston. The song is about the victims of the 'Magic' Attack.
Yeah! Just give me credit and send me a link to the site when you do.
Here you go, albeit a bit late.
Also, be aware that the wikiboxes aren't showing anymore.
EDIT: Though they show up just fine when I try to quote 'em, that's weird.
