<hr />
<div>The '''Kingdom of Talossa''' or '''Regipäts Talossan''' ({{IPA-all|ˈred͡ʒipæt͡s tɐɫɔˈsan||Regipatstalossan.ogg}}) is a small unrecognized nation led by John Woolley as [[King John]]. (The Kingdom referred to itself as a [[micronation]] for many years, but this term is now officially eschewed, and Talossa restricts its relationships with entities identifying as micronations.)<br />
<br />
==Etymology==<br />
The name ''Talossa'' comes from the Finnish word ''[[Talossa (word)|talossa]]'', meaning "inside the house" (that is, the root ''[http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/talo talo]'' meaning house or building, in the [http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/inessive inessive] case). It was selected by the country's founder, [[Robert Ben Madison]], because it described the kingdom's territorial claim (then limited to his bedroom).<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
===Foundation===<br />
<br />
The Kingdom of Talossa was founded on December 26, 1979 by [[Robert Ben Madison]], a 14 year-old resident of [[wikipedia:Milwaukee|Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA]], shortly after the death of his mother. At that time the kingdom occupied Madison's bedroom, and Madison adopted the name "[[Talossa (word)|Talossa]]" for it after discovering that the word means "inside the house" in Finnish.<br />
<br />
Over the years, Talossa's territorial claims expanded from Madison's childhood bedroom to encompass most of [[wikipedia:East_Side,_Milwaukee|Milwaukee's East Side]], as well as the French island of Cézembre and a large chunk of Antarctica (called ''Peng&ouml;päts'', which means ''Penguin-land'' in the [[Talossan language]]). Other claims were made but later abandoned.<br />
<br />
===Early Growth of Talossa===<br />
<br />
Madison maintained Talossa throughout his adolescence and college years. During this time, some 40 other people joined Talossa, mostly in the Milwaukee area but including several of Madison's friends and acquaintances in Europe. The first democratic elections were held in 1981, and Talossa became a constitutional monarchy in 1985.<br />
<br />
Although Madison maintained primary control over the nation, sporadic changes in its form occasionally occurred. In an effort to save the monarchy, Madison abdicated for the first time in early 1987 in favour of Robert Dobberpuhl ([[King Robert II]]), but at the next election, anti-monarchists prevailed, leading to Dobberpuhl's "legislative beheading" and the brief redubbing of the nation as "The Peculiar Republic of Talossa". The monarchy was restored months later, however, although Madison initially declined to return to the throne and his high school English teacher [[Florence Yarney]] served as Queen of Talossa for nine months, overseeing a period of growth of parliamentary power in the nation, before abdicating in Madison's favor in early 1988.<br />
<br />
In 1996, Talossa's web page came to the attention of hundreds of thousands of readers via a series of stories published in such newspapers as the ''New York Times'' and ''Wired'', which were subsequently republished by newspapers in many other countries. Several dozen new citizens joined Talossa as a result, although Madison's requirement that a copy of his manuscript history of the nation be purchased by and mailed to each prospective citizen dissuaded most.<br />
<br />
===Formation of the [[Republic of Talossa]]===<br />
[[File:Republic flag.png|150px|thumb|The flag of the Republic of Talossa]]<br />
The admission of new citizens who had become aware of Talossa through the Internet brought both vitality and turbulence to the Kingdom, as Madison wanted active and involved citizens who, at the same time, would never oppose him. The result was a mass exodus in 1997 to found [[Penguinea]], followed by a second mass exodus in 2001. A third incarnation of the same basic conflict caused a group led by Christopher Gruber (to whom Madison had previously awarded the Order of the Nation, Talossa's highest honor), to create the "secessionist" Republic of Talossa on 1 June, 2004. Several persons from the 1997 and 2001 exoduses subsequently joined the Republic.<br />
<br />
===Abdication of Madison and Ensuing Interregnum===<br />
<br />
An elected government, supported by Madison, continued to lead the Kingdom until 2005, until new immigration again threatened Madison's political control of the nation. He accused the Kingdom's immigration minister, [[Fritz Buchholtz]], of violations of Talossa's Organic Law (constitution) and election laws. (These accusations were subsequently tried before Talossa's Uppermost Court, and Buchholtz's actions were upheld.) Faced with the refusal of the new immigrants to quit this time, Madison instead renounced his citizenship in Talossa and abdicated as King, and unilaterally declared that Talossa no longer existed. Under a Talossan law that Madison himself had written, Madison had adopted his wife's young grandson [[King Louis|Louis]] under Talossan law and made him his heir. Thus, this youth became King of Talossa upon Madison's abdication on 16 August. As specified by Organic Law, Talossa's Uppermost Court served as a Council of Regency for the minor king. When Louis's mother indicated she did not want Louis to remain King, Talossa's Parliament (the ''[[Ziu]]'', acting as his guardian under Talossan law) gave effect to this under Talossan law, declaring the abdication of Louis on 29 November 2006. With no other members of the Madison family being citizens of Talossa and eligible to the throne, the Madison royal line (known as the Rouergue house) was exhausted by Louis's abdication, and an "interregnum" was thus in effect until 14 March 2007, when [[King John|John W. Woolley]] was elected King of Talossa under the Organic Law.<br />
<br />
After Madison's abdication, the Kingdom began to implement a number of amendments to its Organic Law in order to constitutionally restrict the Talossan monarchy and thus avoid those abuses that had led to the past exoduses, including and especially that which created the Republic of Talossa.<br />
<br />
===The Madison Claimant Kingdom===<br />
<br />
In 2007, Madison and a number of other former Talossans who had renounced their citizenship in 2005 declared themselves the "real" Talossa. They adopted a new ''Constituziun'' (constitution) which enshrined what Madison himself called an "authoritarian gimmick" to ensure that the democratic vote of the citizens could never defy his vision. This group had difficulty maintaining its activity level, and abolished itself on 4 July 2011.<br />
<br />
===Relations During the Era of Multiple Talossas===<br />
<br />
While Madison's claimant Kingdom had no communication with the original Kingdom or with the [[Republic of Talossa]] (although one or two members of the original Kingdom did leave to join Madison in his claimant Kingdom), the original Kingdom and the Republic were on uneasy terms, which eventually led to an [[Agreement of Friendship and Understanding]], signed in early 2007. In this agreement, the Republic pledged to restore to the Kingdom those items that had been made unavailable to it by the 2004 exodus, and the Kingdom agreed to encourage pan-Talossan cultural efforts, especially as regards the [[Glheþ|Talossan language]]. Politically, however, the Kingdom felt that it could not treat with the Republic as a fellow nation of the world due to the rival territorial claims and the Republic's denial of the sovereignty of the Kingdom. This stubbornness was sometimes resented by the Republic, which eventually expanded its territorial claims to match those of the Kingdom. However, despite occasional friction, members of the two groups remained personally friendly.<br />
<br />
===Reunision===<br />
{{main|Reunision}}<br />
In December of 2011, sparked by the dissolution of Madison's group, the [[Republic of Talossa]] quietly made overtures to King John's government, and a process that became dubbed "Reunision" (after a typo) was worked out by which the citizens of the Republic were brought into the Kingdom. On 19 April 2012, the Republic of Talossa declared its dissolution, and as of 20 April 2012, for the first time since 2004, there was only micronation claiming to be Talossa.<br />
<br />
==National Administration==<br />
The Kingdom of Talossa is a basically unitary state (despite some federalist aspects) under a constitutional monarchy. [[King John]] is the head of state, a constitutional monarch of strictly limited powers. [[Seneschal]] Txec Nordselva is the head of government. The constitution is codified in an Organic Law adopted in 1997, which replaced the 1988 Constituziun. Governance of Talossan affairs is divided into four categories. These are the executive functions (performed by a politically-appointed government), legislative functions (performed by a politically-elected Parliament, known as the [[Ziu]]), judicial functions (with Talossa's court of final appeal being known as the [[Cort Pü Inalt]]), and state functions (performed by the strictly apolitical Officers of the [[:Category:Royal|Royal Household]]).<br />
<br />
===Local Government and Administration===<br />

|align="center" valign="top" style="padding-bottom: 2em; border-style: solid; border-width: 0 0 1px 0;"|{{Labelled Map of Talossa Provinces}}<br />
|-<br />
|align="center" valign="top"|'''Provinces of the Kingdom of Talossa'''<br />
|}<br />
Talossa is divided into eight provinces and one territory. Each province has its own elected government and a certain degree of freedom to make its own policies, while the (uninhabited) Territory of [[Pengöpäts]] is under the authority of a governor appointed by the king. In each province, the Crown appoints a Cunstaval (Constable), customarily a citizen of a different province, who essentially acts as viceroy, performing royal duties on the provincial level, such as granting assent to legislation.<br />
<br />
===Politics===<br />
Elections to the 200-seat [[Cosa]] (the lower house of Parliament) are decided according to votes cast by eligible citizens (those age fourteen or above) for specific political parties. Each party receiving votes in the election is allotted the proportionate number of seats in the Cosa, which are then assigned to their actual holders by the leaders of each party. No single person may hold more than thirty seats in the Cosa. To register as a party eligible to sit in the Cosa, a nominal registration fee must be paid. This fee must be paid before a deadline determined by the [[Chancery]] in order for the party to appear on the ballot, and must be paid before the end of the first session of the elected Cosa before any seats won may be assigned by the party. Seats won by any party failing to register by this second deadline are assigned by the Crown.<br />
<br />
Elections to the [[Senäts]] for a province are decided according to votes made by eligible citizens of each particular province for specific named candidates. Political parties may choose to officially endorse particular candidates, and voters may choose to vote for the Senate by listing a party name, in which case the candidate endorsed by that party is considered to be the voter's choice.<br />
<br />
Voters may elect to cast ballots indicating only "Present", which fulfills the requirement to participate in elections (intentional failure to do so in three consecutive elections is a forfeiture of citizenship, unless such failure is pardoned by the Crown).<br />
<br />
At the local level, provincial assembly seats are filled in different methods in the different provinces.<br />
<br />
==Law and order==<br />
The judicial power of Talossa is invested in one [[Cort Pü Inalt]] of three justices (one Senior Justice and two Puisne Justices), who receive their royal appointments at the recommendation of the ''[[Ziu]]'', and who serve indefinite terms, recallable by a two-thirds vote of the Ziu.<br />
<br />
An inferior Court of [[Magistracy]], adjudicated by a single appointed Magistrate, was established in 2008. Decisions of the Magistracy may be appealed to the Uppermost Court.<br />
<br />
Other inferior courts may be established by law, provided that the appellate path leads to the Uppermost Court.<br />
<br />
The Royal Talossan [[College of Arms]] also convenes a Court of Chivalry as needed; its jurisdiction does not extend to questions of Organic or statutory law, and its decisions may be appealed only to the Crown.<br />
<br />
==Foreign relations==<br />
<br />
Talossa considers itself to be a full nation of the world and does not refer to itself as a micronation. While Talossa's history as a micronation is long and distinguished, having been instrumental in the founding of the [[League of Secessionist States]], Talossa abandoned the term for its own self-description some years ago, due to the seemingly fleeting nature of micronations and this contrast with the longevity of Talossa. At that time, Talossa broke off all micronational relations and established in law that its international relationships are limited to member-nations of the [[wikipedia:United Nations|United Nations]], of the [[wikipedia:Unrepresented Nations and Peoples Organization|Unrepresented Nations and Peoples Organization]], and any other nation recognised specifically by the ''[[Ziu]]''. The [[wikipedia:Taiwan|Republic of Taiwan]] was so recognised in subsequent legislation, and is currently the only nation in this third category.<br />
<br />
==Military==<br />
Talossa supports three branches of military service. Nominally, the King is Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces, but should war arise, advice of military leaders and the Minister of Defence (to whom conduct of the peacetime Armed Forces is entrusted) would likely be followed by the Crown.<br />
<br />
* '''The [[Royal Talossan Navy]]''', established 30 November 1987, is the oldest of the three military services. The Navy prefers enlisting persons with naval background or who own and operate boats (even if remote-controlled miniature vessels) that become part of the Talossan fleet as His Majesty's Ships (SMV) during service. The senior officer is Admiral [[Tímoþi Asmourescu]].<br />
<br />
* '''The [[Zouaves]] of the Royal Bodyguard''' was created as a land-based force charged primarily with the protection of the Royal Family, but also operating as Talossa's army. Members of the Zouaves outfit themselves, among other attire, in voluminous trousers; twelve-foot long woolen sashes; white canvas leggings; leather greaves; white gloves, and a tasseled fez. Further, they are charged, as far as is practical, with growing an enormous moustache. The official approved improvised weapon of the Zouaves is the bedpost, which members of the Zouaves use in ceremonial exhibition drill exercises and competitions. The senior officer is Capitan Sir [[Mick Preston]].<br />
<br />
* '''The [[Office of Private Adventurers]]''' was established to provide legal haven for Talossa's bands of pirates during the conduct of war. This Office issues letters of marque and reprisal to registered privateers, and sees to it that should any such persons be captured in the conduct of their revelry and looting in the name of the Kingdom, any ransom demands for their return will be given whatever audience the Office deems worthy.<br />
<br />
Talossa has seen only one conflict in its history, a set of minor skirmishes known as the [[Cone Wars]], which ended with Talossan victory, and which are remembered with Talossa's annual [[Victory Day]] (celebrated on the fourth Thursday of November). However, Talossa often participates in international conflicts through the expression of its "Invincible Moral Support" to one belligerent side.<br />
<br />
==Geography and climate==<br />
===Metropolitan Talossa===<br />
Talossa's location in the [[wikipedia:Great Lakes region (North America)|Great Lakes Region]] often has rapidly changing weather, producing a [[wikipedia:humid continental climate|humid continental climate]] ([[wikipedia:Köppen climate classification|Koppen]] ''Dfa''), with cold, windy, snowy winters, and very warm, humid summers. The warmest month of the year is July, when the 24-hour average is 71.8&deg;F, while January is the coldest month, with a 24-hour average of 22.3&deg;F.<br />
<br />
Talossa's shoreline on [[wikipedia:Lake Michigan|''La Mar Talossan'' (Lake Michigan)]] causes a convection current to form around mid-afternoon in light wind regimes, resulting in the so-called "lake breeze" - a smaller scale version of the more common [[wikipedia:sea breeze|sea breeze]]. The lake breeze is most common between the months of March and July. This onshore flow causes cooler temperatures to extend across the nation, with much warmer conditions persisting across the U.S. border to the west. Residents of the area refer to this phenomenon through the phrase "cooler near the lake". Talossa's official climate site, [[wikipedia:General Mitchell International Airport|Alfred W. Lawson International Airport]] (located south of the Kingdom proper), records temperatures with seasonal variations less extreme than in many other locations outside the Kingdom but in the [[wikipedia:Milwaukee metropolitan area|Greater Talossan Area]].<br />
<br />
As the sun sets, the convection current reverses and an offshore flow ensues causing a land breeze. After a land breeze develops, warmer temperatures flow east toward the lakeshore, sometimes causing high temperatures to be reached during the late evening. The lake breeze is not a daily occurrence and will not usually form if a southwest, west, or northwest wind generally exceeds 15 miles per hour. The lake acts to moderate cold air outbreaks along the lakeshore during winter months.<br />
<br />
Aside from the lake influence, overnight lows in downtown Talossa year-round are often much warmer than suburban locations because of the [[wikipedia:urban heat island effect|urban heat island effect]]. Onshore winds elevate daytime [[wikipedia:relative humidity|relative humidity]] levels in Talossa as compared to inland locations nearby.<br />
<br />
Thunderstorms in the region can be dangerous and damaging, bringing hail and high winds. In rare instances, they can bring a tornado. However, almost all summer rainfall in the nation is brought by these storms. In spring and fall, longer events of prolonged, lighter rain bring most of the precipitation. A moderate snow cover can be seen on or linger for many winter days, but there are many days with less than one inch on the ground.<br />
<br />
Talossa tends to experience highs that are 90°F on or above nine days per year, and subzero lows (< &minus;18 °C) on 12 nights.Extremes range from 105°F set on July 24, 1934 (prior to establishment of the Kingdom) down to &minus;26°F on both January 17, 1982 and February 4, 1996. The 1982 event, also known as [[wikipedia:Cold Sunday|Cold Sunday (''Fred S&uacute;ladi'')]], featured temperatures as low as &minus;40&deg;F in some of the [[wikipedia:suburb|suburb]]s as little as ten miles north of Talossa.<br />

'''RT Radio''' is a Talossan podcast / live broadcast station.<br />
<br />
== Personalities ==<br />
The current broadcast staff is comprised of co-founders Txosuè Éiric Rôibeardescù, Sevastáin Pinátsch, and Lüc da Schir. Each is responsible for writing and producing their own contributions. <br />
<br />
Rôibeardescù, who originally announced the RT Radio project and sought partners, came to the project with years of amateur experience, having used Internet radio broadcasting applications like SAM Broadcaster for some time. Pinátsch was employed as a professional radio announcer and disc jockey for three years, though he declined to undertake it as a permanent career due to the rate of pay and nomadic nature of the work.<br />
<br />
== Response ==<br />
The debut of the station was well-received, and the subject of an article in [[Beric'ht Talossan]]. In his review, [[Alexandreu Davinescu]] wrote:<ref name="Bericht6">Davinescu, Alexandreu. "Audible Talossa - RT Relaunch and the Retrieval of Lost Audio." Beric'ht Talossan, #6, 8 June {{year|2014}}, pp. 1,3.</ref><br />
<blockquote>''"The Pinátsch piece, an amusing meditation on the dedicated cultures of different chain coffee-shops, was recorded at a professional level, with excellent sound quality and a practicedly expressive voice. It resembled nothing so much as one of the amusing shorts that sometimes accompany the American radio program The Moth (carried on WUWM 89.7 in the GTA). It was an impressive lead-in to Rôibeardescù's news service, which covered the current age debate and the introduction of two new features in Beric'ht Talossan."''</blockquote><br />
<br />
== Criticisms ==<br />
The political affiliation of two of the station's co-founders and a party political broadcast on behalf of the [[MRPT]] led to questions about the possibility of partisanship at the station, with [[Alexandreu Davinescu]] suggesting that "it seems as though it will become necessary for other parties to join the airwaves – or risk letting the MRPT have absolute dominance in an entire media."<ref name="Bericht6" /> In response, Rôibeardescù (himself a member of the [[Liberal Congress]]) replied "We have no prime affiliation with the MRPT; we have received a few other Party broadcast[s], but for the sake of fairness, we will be only releasing one PPB from each party, with our weekly broadcast."<ref>[http://talossa.proboards.com/post/117955 Rôibeardescù: RT Radio affiliation, ''Wittenberg'']</ref><br />

'''The Liberal Congress''' (El Congréßeu Liberál) is a Talossan [[political party]] [http://talossa.proboards.com/thread/9459/woo-all-party announced] on 18 March {{year|2014}} by [[Carlüs Xheraltescù|C. Carlüs Xheraltescù]], former leader of the [[ZRT]]. He was joined shortly after by a number of Talossans from across the political spectrum.<br />
<br />
== Talossan Liberalism ==<br />
<br />
The Liberal Congress subscribes to the philosophy of Talossan Liberalism, which encompasses the comprehensive liberal commitment to the protection of political, civil, provincial and personal liberties in Talossa in addition to radical political and electoral reform ranging from a reduction in the number of Cosa seats thereby preserving political competition, to reforming party registration fees.<br />
<br />
Succinctly, the Liberals aim to provide greater freedom for Talossans to choose their own conception of the good in addition to providing far-reaching reform.<br />
<br />
== Constitution ==<br />
On the 23rd of April, the Liberal Congress voted to adopt a Constitution to govern the party. The current version is available below.<br />
<br />
<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="width:75%"><br />
'''The Constitution of the Liberal Congress'''<br />
<div class="mw-collapsible-content"><br />

<br />

<br />

</div><br />
<br />
== Party Policy ==<br />
=== Initial Policy Points ===<br />
*Repeal of the Semi-Permeable Wall<br />
<br />
*Support the repeal of three-strikes<br />
<br />
*Removal of Provincial Military Governors<br />
<br />
*Support reduction of seats in the Cosa<br />
<br />
*Support a privacy law for information used on private and public sites relating to Talossa<br />
<br />
*Support freedom of choice between voting secretly and voting publicly<br />
<br />
*Support legislation to prevent associations from discriminating against individuals on the basis of whether they voted publicly or privately<br />
<br />
*Support the revival of the Council of Governors to promote greater interaction between our provinces<br />
<br />
*Support a more accessibly judicial system for simple disputes<br />
<br />
*Prevent government appropriation of private projects through nationalisation, but where possible provide government support for such projects which need it.<br />
<br />
=== Age Minimum for Citizenship Applicants ===<br />
The Liberal Congress' position on the minimum age for citizenship is such that it supports efforts to require applicants to have turned 14 before the next scheduled balloting day in order to become citizens. <br />
<br />
=== Registration Fee Reform ===<br />
The party seeks to reform the party registration system so as to ensure fair equality of opportunity between political parties. Their intention is to reduce the fee from $20 to $15, and to require a small contribution of $5 from successful Senatorial candidates until such a time as an alternative source of income can be found.<br />
<br />
=== Cosa Seat Reform ===<br />
According to the policy motion as adopted on the 8th of May 2014, the Liberal Congress supports the eventual reduction of the number of seats in the Cosa to 20, and to limit the number of seats an MC can hold to one per person. It is their hope that this will preserve electoral competition and to prevent complacency among Talossa's politicians.<br />

Thanks Alexandreu. {{:User:Sebastian_Panache/sig}} 01:28, 10 February 2014 (UTC)<br />
:Sure. Just a note: because you're not a citizen, you should probably not be editing any actual content now. Normally we actually have a policy of only allowing citizens to edit, in fact, but the MinStuff appears to be directing an exception. Thank you so much for the help you've given, and I think the work you've done is great.--[[User:AD|AD]] ([[User talk:AD|talk]]) 13:15, 10 February 2014 (UTC)<br />
:Also, just curious about if we've ever run into each other on the wikisphere - where are you a sysop? I'm one of the mods of RationalWiki, myself - ever been there?--[[User:AD|AD]] ([[User talk:AD|talk]]) 13:21, 10 February 2014 (UTC)<br />
::If you know Colonel Sanders from RationalWiki, then we have a mutual contact. I was a sysop on Uncyclopedia from 2005 to 2011, when I resigned. I continue to hold bureaucrat, sysop and rollback flags on various Uncyclomedia projects, under another handle. We can discuss more via email if you want specifics.<br />
::Not sure I can resist editing. I can promise to keep it to menial tasks, with no tangible content added. If that's still too much, you'd better revoke the flag. I'll go crazy, but I was halfway there anyway, so no serious harm done. :) {{:User:Sebastian_Panache/sig}} 22:59, 10 February 2014 (UTC)<br />
:::Heh, I do know Colonel Sanders! Small world.<br />
:::I'm sure you'll be circumspect in your editing, and it won't be necessary to remove that group.--[[User:AD|AD]] ([[User talk:AD|talk]]) 12:43, 11 February 2014 (UTC)<br />
<br />
Just a quick note: I have enlisted you in the Citizens group because you asked me to do so (actually, because you asked Epic to ask me to do so), and I knew you were a trustworthy prospective, hence my aforementioned exception. Welcome on TalossaWiki again. --the MinStuff --[[User:Ldaschir|Lüc]] ([[User talk:Ldaschir|talk]]) 09:59, 16 February 2014 (UTC)<br />
:Thanks again. I sincerely appreciate the exception. With the extended period that my Immigration took to process, "just one more fortnight" seemed especially long. It's been helpful to have both this place and Witt to be able to post to. {{:User:Sebastian_Panache/sig}} 10:30, 16 February 2014 (UTC)<br />
I've added extra rights to your account a little early, because I'll still be traveling in the morning. You should also feel free to edit page content, but I'd stress that you should take it easy until you find your Talossan feet, so to speak. We have a lot of history and culture! <br />
Good luck!--[[User:AD|AD]] ([[User talk:AD|talk]]) 00:59, 19 February 2014 (UTC)<br />
:I'll tread lightly! I think the depth of the history&mdash;warts and all&mdash;is part of the appeal for me. The nationette is fortunate to have so much captured in its books and documents. {{:User:Sebastian_Panache/sig}} 01:02, 19 February 2014 (UTC)<br />
==Merit==<br />
{{merit|your templates and typo oversights so far}}<br />
:Thanks! Starting today I'm trying to add articles. Today I did two. I'd like to average 4 per week, stub-sized or better. {{:User:Sebastian_Panache/sig}} 23:12, 20 February 2014 (UTC)<br />
<br />
==Thanks==<br />
Thanks for the colspan stuff on the MRPT page, Sevastain. Didn't really remember what was the keyword to achieve that. --[[User:Ldaschir|Lüc]] ([[User talk:Ldaschir|talk]]) 20:37, 3 March 2014 (UTC)<br />
:Happy to help, Lüc. :) {{:User:Sevastain_Pinatsch/sig}} 21:09, 3 March 2014 (UTC)<br />

Hey, great work! But just so you know, Dien has a bot that he is going to run to do all of them. So don't sweat them, if you don't want to :)--[[User:AD|AD]] ([[User talk:AD|talk]]) 11:41, 11 March 2014 (UTC)<br />
:As they'd gone unnoticed, I was beginning to wonder. Go Dien! {{:User:Sevastain_Pinatsch/sig}} 16:29, 11 March 2014 (UTC)<br />

You are much more experianced on coding divs and such. Can you tell me how to align text to the center in one. Every time I try, it either breaks it, or doesn't work at all :)<br />
<br />
:Sure. Here's a template: {{tl|center}}<br />
<br />
:{{center|This makes it easy}}<br />
<br />
:{{center|The '''code''' contains the necessary syntax which you may ''also use'' instead.}}<br />
<br />
:Let me know if there's anything else I can help with. I tweaked one of your sandbox boxes with "text-align:center; margin:auto;". Is centering the whole box what you wanted to do? If not, remove "margin:auto;". {{:User:Sevastain_Pinatsch/sig}} 20:07, 2 June 2014 (UTC)<br />
