Name spelling

[edit]

The Counter-X profile spells her first name as "Alison" as opposed to our spelling of "Allison". Does anyone know which spelling was the original? Is the Counter-X spelling simply that site's mistake or is our spelling based on an erroneous usage in AVP? If AVP is in error, is there someone who can correct it there? (I know some such errors have been quietly corrected later) --Khajidha (talk) 11:45, 22 February 2016 (EST)

I have no idea where to find a primary source for this, but I note that Counter-X has its fair share of spelling errors while plenty of other sites such as Wikipedia and the Machine Robo wiki spell it as AVP has done. I think this article is fine as it is. S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent 47 (talk) 21:59, 22 February 2016 (EST)
I feel I should point out that the way AVP spells it is the official spelling as far as Transformers media is concerned. For example, we have Psyche-Out's page at Psych Out, because that's how Transformers vs. G.I. Joe spells it, despite Joe media traditionally spelling it "Psyche-Out". So even if we were to find out Counter-X's spelling was right, this page would still stay where it was, albeit with a note added about GoBots media spelling it differently. -Foffy the Sheep (talk) 22:09, 22 February 2016 (EST)
I get that, but AVP has amended posts in the past to correct such things. The discontinuity bothers me because I don't know which way it happened. --Khajidha (talk) 05:59, 23 February 2016 (EST)
