message: Why hasn't anything been added on his claustrophobia?
It's mentioned a lot in the series! Like when he's about to drown or when he's about to connect to the VR-system. Ran4 22:43, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

message: "* Rodney had similarities to Samantha Carter and Daniel Jackson because Sam was always technical on everything and Daniel was very emotional on what they do."
Simply being technical and emotional is not enough to list them as "similar".  There are a dozen intellectual and emotional characters in Stargate, and Carter and Jackson have drastically different personalities from Rodney. JBK405 04:27, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

message: Should his name be changed to Merideth? PrometheusX303 03:29, 9 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The problem is that your line beginning with "I think" is original research. All we know is that his sister said his name is Meredith, adding "but that's just a nickname" is not supported by what we saw on the show. Bryan 19:40, 10 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: actually, rodney himself said it was his first name but that he goes by Rodney... -Xornok 21:42, 10 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, Meredith is a female name, but that does not mean it is not Rodney's real name.  Part of Rodney's comedic character is that he has a female name.
Really? I must have missed that part, I thought he said that's what she called him as a "pet name" or something rather.

text: well, you took it out of context. here, ill explain it to you: when rodney and his sister beamed up to the deaddy, she called him meredith, then sam was like "what? your name is meredith?" and rodney goes something like "yes, its my real name, Meredith Rodney McKay, but i just go by Rodney" then his sister called him Mere/Meredith a few times before they reach atlantis. Then when they beamed down to the city, the sister calls him Mere and Shep goes "blah blah... Wait, did you just call him Mere?" and before jeannie can answer Rodney quickly goes "its a petname..*mumbles*" because he does not want Shep to know his real name. Later on, when he walks in on them eating together, Shep calls him Meredith, meaning that Jeannie told Shep and the others Rodney's real name... there you have it, you should really watch the episode again... -Xornok 23:48, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

message: hi, I'm note sure, but does the alternative reality McKay in "Moebius" invites alternative Carter for his favourite made from citrus fruit meal, that the kitchen serves, although the real McKay is allergic to it? --Andreas -horn- Hornig (talk) 12:41, 1 October 2010 (UTC)

message: *"Letters from Pegasus":
:McKAY: I'm Doctor Rodney McKay of the Atlantis expedition, and as the facts of our heroic struggle against the Wraith and our untimely demise are already known to you, in that light, I'd like to pass along some final thoughts. Now, my extensive education, training and first-hand experience in the field of astrophysics has given me a unique perspective that few on Earth or, uh, well, on any other planet for that matter, can match.

:McKAY: And do you have a degree in physics, hmm? Well, what about mechanical engineering, huh?

*"Miller's Crossing":
:McKAY: That's what I'm saying – neither of us are doctors. Look, yes, I have a PhD ... two, actually ...
http://www.gateworld.net/atlantis/s4/transcripts/409.shtml
Based on the information provided above (already summarized in the article), Rodney McKay most likely has bachelor's degrees in physics & mechanical engineering and doctorates (Ph.D.s) in astrophysics & mechanical engineering.
