Is there any explaination as to why these categories were added to the page:
Lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender people
Gay icons
I haven't found any information any where supporting this.
Also, since when is the National Enquirer a legitimate source to use? I'm removing this line:
Recent reports in the National Enquirer have surfaced, outing Roddy, claiming he was known for taking numerous trips throughout his life to Thailand to conduct sexual encounters with men.
I just heard about his death. Such sad news. He was half the reason why TPIR was such a fun show SD6-Agent 01:32, 29 Oct 2003 (UTC)
Impossibly loud? That hardly sounds like a term that would be used in a legitimate encyclopedia. Is the author from California? I would recommend the use of a respected dictionary.

When I wrote 'impossibly loud' (paraphrasing from Websters), I meant it as:
'to an unbelievable degree' (impossibly) 'gaudy' (loud, as in fashion - standing out)
But by all means go ahead and change the page to have whatever term you like. It's a wiki, after all, and I'm not terribly attached to that particular term. :)
One thing's certain; Rod Roddy's collection of sportcoats was unforgettable. It was one of his signatures. Skybunny 00:50, 5 Nov 2003 (UTC)

[edit] United Fund
What is this "United Fund" that Rod Roddy led a protest against? --Popefelix 17:36, 18 December 2005 (UTC)
It was known as the "United Fund" at that time. The issue is that employees who declined to contribute with payroll deductions were fired from their jobs. This was an issue discussed at length on Rod Roddy's Hotline on KLIF. There was also news coverage of it on Channel 13's "Newsroom" program.
[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Rodroddy.jpg
Image:Rodroddy.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 insure 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 uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

[edit] Ambassador to Chaing Mai, Thailand
The *real* reason why Rod made so many trips to Thailand wasn’t *just* for the designer suits, but also because he was the official ambassador to Chaing Mai. This should be added to the article. This fact can also be found in the CBS obituary External Link. Adg2k7 (talk) 19:29, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Breast Cancer
There is enough visibility of the disease and everyone knows it is generally associated with women. It's not necessary to note that when mentioning its rare association with men.Sottolacqua (talk) 11:40, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
