message: i have never read such a negative article on wikipedia before. some one should really rewrite it. bashing the looks of his wife is way too low. /Jonatan
: This article look too negative. I am not going to get myself into an edit war. I did revert once. In my opinon, this article is POV, and plus it already covered in Megatokyo too. --Kiba 18:48, 18 July 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: This article is rewritten. I'll remove the NPOV template tag. --Kiba 20:25, 18 July 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: POV concern

message: There's some inconsistancy in the spelling of Mr. Gallagher's wife's name. Is it "Sarah" or "Sara?"
*In this comic's (798's) discussion thread on the megatokyo forums, he spells it Sarah.  See here. Tigger89 03:22, 17 December 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: Wife's name

message: Because the Blurred section continues to violate WP:LIVING, I am locking down the article for now.  This is an article about a living person, so it is unacceptable to make negative statements without proper sourcing.  Internet forums do not count as reliable sources.  The Blurred Exposed site does not count as a reliable source.  We don't do "investigative journalism" or whatever you want to call it.  It specifically violates our original research policies.  Using charged words like I found in the section also violates WP:NPOV.  Please, hammer out your disagreements here, and when you come up with something that's in compliance with our policies, let me know and I will unlock the article. However, if the WP:LIVING violations appear again, I may be forced to block those responsible.  I'm sorry to be heavy-handed about this, but this policy is non-negotiable. –Abe Dashiell (t/c) 00:06, 11 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Basically it accused Gallagher of drawing Lolicon (To 4chan, everything below DD is loli) and had a different, nudity-containing pic. Also some very 4Chan-serving language ("collaberative reasearch project headed by 4chan members" is an oxymoron). Nifboy 19:24, 11 June 2006 (UTC)

text: I'm afraid copying and pasting it here isn't an option because that too would violate WP:LIVING.   The article's history should give you some clues, though, especially those changes in the "Blurred" section. –Abe Dashiell (t/c) 19:57, 11 June 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Fine Red Cat 

message: I think this section is way too prominent. I haven't explored other 'semi-erotic' articles on Wikipedia, but I'm sort of uncomfortable with the presence of a panty shot in an encyclopedia. 
I also think that this one little twiddle he did once should not be the only example present of his art, especially since the only reason he revealed it was that he was bullied. If no one objects, I'd like to remove it and add some art from MT or Fredart instead. --Masamage 01:42, 5 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I wholeheartedly agree, and I'll ask Fred what art he finds most representative, if the consensus agrees. Otherwise, let me know what you find / choose to use, and I'll get permission for wikipedia to display it. Cortana 07:22, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Oh, hi. ^_^ I don't know if Fred is allowed to contribute to this article, since it's about him; getting his copyright-permission for whatever we pick would be awesome, though! I haven't taken a look yet to see what might go up as representative. Guess I will... Other thoughts are welcome! --Masamage 18:30, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I do agree that potentially objectionable content should be avoided if possible, but remember that Wikipedia is not censored, so don't sweat it if the only image available for illustration of a certain section or article is possibly offensive. Also, I have looked through the rest of the Blurred images, and, in my opinion, the one that is currently being used is easily the least offensive of the lot, so I don't think changing it would do any good. Providing the other sections with images (a lead image of Fred himself? Book covers for The Fine Red Cat and Megatokyo?) would also significantly decrease the prominence of that section, it currently sticks out from the others so much because it is the only one with any kind of illustration, and a fairly large illustration, at that.

message: Why are there no pictures of Gallagher? 
I'm fairly certain there are some pics of him. Let's just put them up, can anyone supply a reason not to? I'm fairly certain there's no reason why a comic artist can't have a photo up but an author can.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dsmccohen (talk • contribs) 09:53, 30 September 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  WikiProject class rating

message: «…Piro, the main character of Megatokyo, whom he has stated is an idealized version of himself when he was in college. He does not physically resemble his comic strip counterpart.» Uh? Who cares if he resembles the drawing of a semi-autobiographic character? We just said it's an idealized version. And then, in what measure does a stylized (anime-like) drawing resemble a person?
Then: «His wife goes by the name Seraphim, a supporting character in Megatokyo. Her real name is Sarah and she does not physically resemble her comic strip counterpart.» This is ridiculous, either she's called Sarah or she goes by the name Seraphim. One of the two. And then again the bit about physical resemblance, which sounds even more out-of-place and forced than the other one.
Someone is trying (and failing) to prove something, but Wikipedia is the wrong place for that. --Etatoby 23:37, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I wouldn't say their moot at all.  If a character is said to be based on a real-life person, then it's definitely worth mentioning if the characters resemble their real-world counterparts, and if not, then why. --TwilightDuality (talk) 20:21, 14 February 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Physical resemblance 

message: This comic from xkcd playfully pokes fun at Fred Gallagher; does anyone know what section of the article we could put this under?  (or is anyone willing to start a new section?) --Politizer (talk) 02:06, 31 August 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: XKCD Parody

message: * Here's the opening sentence: "Frederick Gallagher (born November 15, 1968) is an American illustrator and web cartoonist."
* Here is a sentence later in the article: "He is also credited with being the first American manga artist to be a guest at Anime Expo Tokyo."
KyuuA4 (Talk:キュウ) 23:20, 28 February 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Those two sentences are not necessarily in conflict.  From the POV of any Japanese fan of Megatokyo at AX Tokyo or in any Japanese promotion for AX Tokyo, what Fred creates would be referred to as "manga". Beyond this, in Japan, as in the US, comic illustrators often create artwork that is not specifically "sequential" in nature. Nijyo (talk) 04:21, 31 December 2014 (UTC)
