I'm sorry to bother y'all, but I forgot how to get images into the wikiboxes. Can anyone help?
I know how to do that, but which part of the image's URL do I insert?You use the "inspect element" feature in Chrome, look for <table class="infobox vevent"> if you're on a Wikipedia sandbox for example, look for the section with the placeholder image, replace the placeholder link in the "src" section with the link you want, and adjust its width and height until they fit your image.
I know how to do that, but which part of the image's URL do I insert?
I'm afraid that's not working. Is it because the images are saved as .png?The whole link works.

Really enjoying your work and wikiboxes thusfar. Very interesting timeline + a vision of 'what might have been.' Keep it up!
You need to copy and paste the “File” and all that is after that.I'm afraid that's not working. Is it because the images are saved as .png?
If you can't add the image in the sandbox (I still don't understand how to add an image from the net to the infobox, tried finding the image's link through inspection but I still don't know which part is it), I'd give you the tip of using paint: make the entire infobox beforehand with another photo as a placeholder and then in paint take the image from the web and replace the placeholder for it, although I admit it will need a resizing of the chosen photo and a reffiting of the infobox itself through paint (shortening or making it longer)I'm afraid that's not working. Is it because the images are saved as .png?
The 1948 United States Senate election in Minnesota
I used to watch that show.It's "Bouquet."
This is something unique. The logo makes it look it look like a governmental organization, and it does show the negative aspects of superheroism.
The Justice Society of America was founded on May 23, 1940 by three superheroes, Carter Hall, the original Hawkman; Dan Garrett, the original Blue Beetle; and Kent Nelson, the original Doctor Fate. Originally a nameless group united only in their aims of investigating their connections to ancient Egypt, they eventually expanded into the United States' first mass superhero team, aimed at combating crime, saboteurs, and supervillainy.
At the time of the Bombing of Pearl Harbor, they had assembled over twenty active or reserve members. When the United States declared war on Japan and Germany, many members continued their countryside superheroics as part of the “Justice Battalion,” with several also co-serving as members of the wartime-only “All Star Squadron.” Others chose to enter the war as regular, non-costumed soldiers, such as Wesley Dodds, the original Sandman, who resumed his service in the Navy; and Albert Pratt, the original Atom, who became a tank driver in the Army.
Before the official American entry into World War 2, and before official support of the JSA by the US Government, President Roosevelt personally dispatched the Flash and Green Lantern to investigate rumors of the Nazis possessing the Spear of Destiny, and negating the superpowers of various individuals in Nazi-occupied territory. This started a quiet but powerful relationship between the POTUS and various superheroes, and would continue to this day in official and unofficial capacities.
Following World War 2, many members of the JSA had taken leave or drifted away from the organization. In 1951, following pressures from the Joint Congressional Un-American Activities Committee to publicly unmask all members, past and present, or risk prosecution, the remaining members of the JSA elected to disbanded. This left many members either retired, or continuing their hero work without governmental support. Following the election of John Kennedy in 1960, and his well-publicized support of superheroes, the JSA reformed alongside the new Justice League of American, both having partial oversight by the newly-founded Department of Metahuman Affairs.
In 1965, following the election of Richard Nixon, the threat of conscription for metahumans was raised as an answer to Soviet and Chinese metahumans in the Vietnam War. This was met with a second disbandment by JSA members. Some superheroes, such as Superman, even privately threatened to be unmasked and serve prison time rather than be conscripted, a decision that the government decided was too costly to bear.
Despite this disbandment only lasting a year as opposed to nearly a decade, the threat of superheroes refusing the draft led the US Government to pursue a policy of voluntary metahuman armament, and the creation of their own superheroes, such as Captain Atom, as well as the unintentional creation of several supervillains, such as Major Force.
Following the 1970s, the JSA began to take a more proactive role in training the next generations of superheroes. While the JLA was considered to be a strike force, in the words of one of their members, the JSA was thought of as a family. This led to many members returning, including some who hadn't been part of the organization in decades, to help provide leadership and education to new superheroes.
Today, the Justice Society of America is largely known for its large, albeit fluctuating and inconsistent, membership base, and for having multiple generations of heroes from one family joining. Some have criticized it for employing underage superheroes in missions, and for alleged nepotism in favor of related metahumans.
The name “Justice Society of America” was first proposed by Jay Garrick, the original Flash, and the motto “Strength, Courage, Justice” was coined by the original Superman, both in early 1941.
How's that for a tenth installment? I still enjoy researching the history of comics more than comics themselves, but I did read bits and pieces of the 1999 and 2007 Justice Society runs, and I enjoyed them. While not perfectly adapting them here, I did want to pay tribute to them in a small way.
Could we know how post-nuclear attacks Iraq looks like? For instance, where the current capital of Iraq is, who the current leader is, and the political situation of the nation. Saddam Hussein is most definitely killed in the Baghdad attack; the Gulf War, which tainted international image of Iraq, was over for a year; and Iraqi Kurdistan might have take advantage of the chaos to establish its independence.
On February 19, 1992, a series of three coordinated nuclear weapons were detonated by the international crime organization Tartarus in three major metropolitan areas in the Republic of Iraq. In 1991, Tartarus stole 5 nuclear weapons from a military base near the Far Eastern Russian city of Khabarovsk, an action officially denied by the Russian government until 1993. After sending a two hundred and fifty billion dollar ransom to the United Nations, Tartarus unleashed three of them on Iraq's most populated cities, Baghdad, Mosul, and Basra, killing an estimated six to eight million people, and injuring anywhere from two to five million people (either from immediate or long term fallout).
Jade Nyugen (the supervillain Cheshire, who was the coordinator of both the theft and nuclear bombings) claimed they chose Iraq due both the proximity that the nation held to their main base of operations, and a belief that the nations of the world would appreciate less valuable cities being used as a demonstration of Tartarus' power.
The United Nations responded to the nuclear bombings within hours, assembling a Task Force lead by the Justice League to apprehend the members of the organization and all nuclear weaponry in their possession. Parallel to this, the International Criminal Tribunal for the Atomic Bombing of Iraq was formed and tasked with prosecuting those involved. Within fourteen months, all members of Tartarus and their nuclear weapons were apprehended. All members were put on trial, prosecuted, and sentenced to death. 22 of the 28 were executed, including the believed-to-be immortal Vandal Savage; with 6 committing suicide before their scheduled executions. Of the 28, only Slade Wilson voluntarily surrendered to the Task Force and plead guilty to his involvement to the Tribunal.
Both before and after the Tribunal had concluded, controversy erupted over which nations deserved culpability for the state of Iraq, as well as potential compensation owed. From nations that had supervillains originate or operate in them (such as France, the United States, and Gabon), to Russia and their inability to safeguard their nuclear weapon, to both the United Nations and the international superhero community for failing to prevent such a disaster.

I'll be looking forward for such an update. Also, I'd agree on Erbil, maybe Kirkuk if the Kurds managed to hold a maximal amount of Kurdish-inhabited territory, and if the Iraqis fall into a civil war.I hadn't actually thought about doing that. I've been enjoying just sort of jumping around between space and time, covering various events, alluding to different political developments. I will consider doing this, but I can make no promises.
(Although I do have to wonder what would make a good capital of Kurdistan? Erbil, or Sulaymaniyah perhaps....)
