The article says that Rodney is Grandad's grandson, and Uncle Albert's great-nephew. But as the son of Freddie the Frog, Rodney isn't really related to the Trotter side of the family at all. Daibhid C 19:14, 24 May 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Parentage non-canonical?

I don't understand why the fact that Freddie the Frog is Rodney's father is listed as non-canon. Is it that the Xmas specials are not considered part of the OFAH canon or is it just "Sleepless in Peckham" in partular. It is strongly implied that FtF is Rodney's father as far back as the "Frogs Legacy" episode. Ade myers 01:55, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

Some people consider the final three shows to be non-canon because of plot holes etc, or perhaps because they feel those episodes should not have been made at all. But there's nothing official or concrete in that point of view. Imo, the facts should be presented as outlined in the whole series. SteveO 20:26, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] External links

For the anon(s) who keep adding the external website, www.rodneytrotter.com: this is nothing more than an unrelated commercial website with an Only Fools and Horses picture on the front page. Please read Links normally to be avoided. If you still wish to add it, please add a rationale outlining your reasons. SteveO 22:32, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Only Fools and Horses 2.jpg

Image:Only Fools and Horses 2.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 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.
