Talk:Uchronia

message: This article is far too vague and pretty much only gives a description to people who already know what it is. Clarifications should be made about what differentiates it from alternate history. In fact it cites the origin of the title translated as "Not as it was but what it might have been", which is literally an alternate version of history. The first Google result for 'uchronia' leads to a site called "Uchronia: The Alternate History List" - so unless you can explain better why it isn't alternate history, it should be merged. 205.250.211.218 (talk) 04:40, 29 March 2014 (UTC)

thread_title: Merge

message: Stupid question, but if I replace 'topia/topos' with 'chronia/chronos', then surely it's not a portmanteau of utopia but a word chosen to resemble utopia. I'm sure there's a proper term for it but memory fails me at the moment. Phelyan 12:04, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Portmanteau?

message: Shall I put the translation for the french I mention above in the article? The title of the book that originated the term, Uchronie (L'Utopie dans l'histoire). Esquisse historique apocryphe du développement de la civilisation européenne tel qu'il n'a pas été, tel qu'il aurait pu être. I think a good translation into English would be, Uchronia (A Utopia in history). An apocryphal historical outline of the development of European civilisation, not as it was as such, but as it could have been. It adds a little to have it I think, but I'm unsure if it would add enough as it were, to be worth putting it in, what does anyone else think?Number36 00:02, 11 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Maybe put an asterisk-redirection. It would be also a good idea to put a separate article dedicated to that bookPictureuploader 08:47, 11 November 2006 (UTC)
