Is this, like, the only wiki you edit on? Oh my god your ignorance is showing. But then again, I guess it's not your fault that you live in a country as self centred and narcissistic as the US. I've been on loads of wikis that are centred around other countries such as the UK (AoU release: 23 April), South-East Asia (AoU release: it varies, but most have it already), and Australia (AoU release: 23 April). Most wikis that I hang around put the date of release as the actual date of release, not the date of release in 'Murica. Why is the American release date so special? Looking at your own Avengers: Age of Ultron/Release Dates, The US is one of the last places to get the movie. Why is the US date so superior over the Finish/French/Italian/Dutch/Norwegian/Philipino/Swedish/Taiwannian air date of the 22nd April? It's rare enough for countries outside the US to get an American movie within a few weeks after the US air date, but just because it's a rare event doesn't mean this wiki can't change its policies on release date to match the current situation. Right now, almost half the countries who will air the movie already have, according to your own list, which means your advertising doesn't cater to the vast majority of the population of people who will see the ad. There is literally no reason to prioritise the US air date over the global air date. I mean seriously, come on!

Maybe it was a bit rash to doubt the entire integrity of this wiki based on that date alone (from much past experience, I had assumed the US had already aired the movie by the time it reached us in Australia), however it does show that the people in charge of advertising this wiki were, I'm not going to say stupid, but ignorant of the global nature of wikis and the Avengers to think that their own exerience reflected the actual, general experience. In other words, it was dumb to put the US air date on a global ad rather than the global air date.

PS: I like how you just assume that I'm a he. I guess that just reinforces the point that you only cater to a small portion of the demographic. I see that I'm not wanted here. If you ever wonder why your readership isn't as big as it should be, now you know why.
