Opening line of article states Rodney lives in Seattle, WA. Later in the article, it mentions him working for Southern Methodist University and running for political office in the state of Texas. His campaign website also lists an address in Texas. Article does state that the election he participated in was in 2012.
Is it possible to clarify where the subject of the article currently resides?

Would it perhaps be more useful to merge and redirect this to Megatokyo? It's less useful out of context. -- Aranel ("Sarah")]] 20:48, 20 Dec 2004 (UTC)
The sentence on his marriage is unclear: did he use Slashdot or Megatokyo's webpage to propose? -- Maru (talk) Contributions 19:34, 25 October 2005 (UTC)

Image:Megatokyo vol2.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

The image Image:Megatokyo vol1 1st edition.jpg is used in this article under a claim of fair use, but it does not have an adequate explanation for why it meets the requirements for such images when used here. In particular, for each page the image is used on, it must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Please check

I'm concerned about the likelihood that any edits based on the following will be reverted unless these concerns are first given a fair hearing. To be honest, I'm also concerned that they may be reverted regardless - but AGF is (for very good reason) one of the more important principles of this encyclopedia.
First: I'm honestly not sure, but would I be correct in assuming that BLP applies to any living person discussed in Wikipedia, not simply to the subject of a given page? Some of the assertions made about Fred Gallagher on this page appear to be in a very murky area, and are poorly sourced or contradict the sources given. In particular:
Second: Given that Caston is only credited on the first two volumes of MegaTokyo in any fashion, why are volumes 3-6 listed on this page as "Books" of his? Further, why are both the lede and the "Fandom" section worded as "He is a co-creator and the original writer of the popular comic book series Megatokyo") rather than the factually-supportable "He is credited as a co-creator and writer of the first volume of the popular comic book series Megatokyo, and as a co-creator of the second volume"? Finally, unless he is claiming credit for volume 3, why is the following in the article: "Volume 3's highest ranking in bookscan is 3 ending February 20, 2005.[17] This broke all previous records for sales of an American manga up to that time."?
Third: "MegaTokyo was one of the largest and most successful early webcomics to transition from online to print; the success of it and other early properties such as Penny Arcade and PvP went on to influence an entire generation of webcomic creators." badly needs to be removed if it can't be sourced. In the same paragraph, "He is credited for the first two published volumes of Megatokyo." is superfluous if the first sentence is reworded to be more accurate as per the second sentence of the second point.
Fourth: I would like to request that if Caston is editing this article, that he stop doing so AT LEAST until he reads http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Autobiography. It enumerates some very good reasons this is strongly discouraged, and some of these reasons appear to be in evidence.
