Commander Shepard - "Shepard-Commander" as an alias. In both Mass Effect 2 and Mass Effect 3, Legion always refers to Commander Shepard in this way.

edit: Also, "Commander" and "Shepard" should be added as their own separate allies since you're referred to by both on their own countless times throughout all 3 games.

"Commander" is way too vague to be an alias. There are dozens upon dozens of games that refer to you or another character as "Commander."

I think "Shepard" as an alias would be OK though.

The audience should have started to chant: "DLC! DLC! DLC!"

The new SimCity 5 was mislabeled in the european magazine leak. It's called simply "SimCity," (it's a 'reboot') although I'd leave SimCity 5 as an alias for it.

Looks like Jeff took care of this.

Dust 514 has two, old Xbox 360 releases listed. The game is now a Sony exclusive so they should be removed.

@DaBuddaDa: I think you missed my point. Spring doesn't begin until late March in America.
 
Yes, you are correct in that the system by which we define our seasons is universal, but how we choose to define them can differ. In the Celtic cycle, the equinox is used as the middle of a season, making 1 February the first day of Spring. My friends in England use 1 March as the beginning of Spring, but I cannot attest to the rest of Europe, but assuming there are at least 3 variations already, I wouldn't doubt that there are more.

Right, but, this site is international and a standard has to be adopted across countries because the database doesn't specify region on the overview page (it does actually in the releases page where a more specific standard can be applied), and in other cases it specifically refers to the US as default. I think using the universal, literal, scientific standard would be the best for overview pages.

People mightn't follow because the seasons are different depending on your country. The system I am familiar with is:

Spring - February, March, April
Summer - May, June, July
Autumn - August, September, October
Winter - November, December, January

Well, the dates of seasons aren't arbitrary and are universal, based on solstice and equinoxes. For example, you have February listed as "Spring," however, Spring doesn't begin until late March.

The wiki allows for vague release windows since publishers so frequently offer them up as release dates. Included is Q1-4. I constantly see people, in my opinion, misuse the quarter system.
 
I see the quarters as 3 month chunks, starting Janurary:
 
Jan, Feb, Mar - Q1 - Winter
Apr, May, Jun - Q2 - Spring
Jul, Aug, Sep - Q3 - Summer
Oct, Nov, Dec - Q4 - Fall
 
Seems pretty simple, but some people don't follow it. It becomes more vague when publishers say "Fall " or "Summer," specifically. If you look at the months above, the official Summer months are actually contained in Q3 and the actual Fall months are contained in Q4. There is only a week or two of season overlap. For example, winter begins December 21 so there are 10 days of overlap. Many people incorrectly use Q3 as "Fall" and Q4 as "Winter." If a publisher says a game is coming out "This Fall" it should be marked Q4, not Q3.
 
Agree? Disagree? It'd be nice to spread some sort of standard usage.

Connor from Assassin's Creed 3 needs the alias " Ratohnhaké:ton" as that's his Native American name that assuredly will be used extensively in the game. Also yes, that's spelled correctly :P
