I've noticed that a handful of posts recently have commented on the names being misspelled at times.

Dale has been doing that intentionally...

He mentions doing it at the end of this post:

I admit that Dale's comment confused the hell out of me at the time and also worried me in that it would exponentially complicate the Wiki and its information (still not sure it won't).

I agree that it's going to be difficult separating the intentional spelling changes from the unintentional spelling errors. Hopefully, everything will be straight by the end (more or less).

Thanks, qHnED7SnYgQs! Like many of us, I've made my own list as well, and I'm happy to say it agrees with yours, although yours is more extensive - I didn't bother with Chris's study buddies or Viv, for example. It's great to get everything in one place.

It may not be relevant but, if you notice some of the "universes" are very similar, others are quite different. I think Dale has allowed universes that are closer, in time or space to resemble each other more closely and those father apart, to diverge from each other. So we get different physical mixes of character identifiers. It could be that misspellings may be simply characters that are in " in-between" universes that didn't get picked up as one of his series. Or something like that.

Thanks for all the work, though. I couldn't have done all of that. And I'm still skeptical of Dale being able to keep it all under control. I don't think its humanly possible! But then Dale has never admitted to be entirely human, has he?

Hey all sorry I was so wrong! Been fighting off pneumonia and working busy 12 hour shifts. Brain fart.

The resulting comments and lists have been awesome and much fun to see! Excellent work!!!

It could happen.

I'm wondering if Olga from Infected is somehow related to Hilda from OP/AP - both having the neanderthal thing going on.

Also, Hobbs with his perpetual happiness and meditation being somehow related to Jake/Mickey, just another VGM, or another alternate? Having taken the kids feeds into that with the whole "being what his world needed" - it may have needed him to kidnap them to give his reality a future.
