Somebody should look up the page's example indentation issues, also on the YMMV and Trivia tabs.
Insufferable Genius
We should reorder the header lines: the way it's currently ordered implies that Marzgurl completed his project as a tribute to the allegations made against him, which is really not what's intended.
I tried moving them myself, but it seems to have gone back (although I didn't see anywhere on the edit history that happened).
So, I think we need to add something re: Justin and the grooming allegations. It's been confirmed- albeit informally- that Justin was a rapist and that this is why he left/was fired from Channel Awesome. I'm not saying we should completely redo the page to remove all the positivity but...something needs to be changed.

I do believe the precise words are "predator" and "sexual deviant" and Jane Doe specifically does say that what he did isn't "illegal" no matter how utterly detestable it is. Just sayin', may not want to throw the word "rapist" around especially since in the doc Jane Doe specifically says it technically wasn't rape. Unless I've missed something, which is entirely possible given the onslaught of shit.
That said, other than the word "Tragically" and saying he was missed by people, is there a lot that's all that positive? And frankly, taking down something essentially a "suicide is bad" disclaimer is... well, it leaves me with a bad feeling.
EDIT: Okay found where the second woman came forward and... yeah, "rapist" is fitting here. I suppose technically "alleged" but that bugs me since it will never be "proven."

I know talking about people's personal lives is generally frowned upon on TV Tropes but these kinds of allegations are difficult to ignore. They should probably go on the YMMV page but I'm not sure which trope would be appropriate.
I think we might want to consider removing the line about how he'll be missed by friends and family, considering the very next line is all about the stuff that's come about him lately.
... you know how there's a way to handle things with tact and not devolving into internet mob justice? Yeah, that's not how you handle it.
EDIT: Edited to make it more neutral and more actually tied to the work, rather than just gossiping about a person. In multiple places, to boot.

Someone else pointed out to me that the Nice Guy entry in particular is very uncomfortable- might be best to just delete that one, or at least change the wording so that it's less talking about Justin himself, and more his performance.
Should we put up a little suicide PSA thingy like we have on Mary Kay Bergman or something?

Linkara wrote on his twitter that he hopes this turns out to be a sick joke. So do I.
His wife posted a heartbreaking post on Facebook, and his mom thanked everyone for the love Justin got over the years.
Should this page be locked, at least for a while? just to be sure

Why? I do not see any recent edit warring or disputes. We don't lock pages just because the work is finished/the creator is dead.

Well, I didn't mean just because he's dead, more like because it happened recently, so to avoid any potential edit wars we could lock it for a week or so, to let things calm down. But it seems it's okay.
I'd say just keep an eye on it for now and it anyone starts any trouble we can put on a temporary lock.
Recommending very small grammatical edit in the first sentence of third paragraph: "Justin had left TGWTG..." to "Justin left TGWTG..." (It's difficult to frame the idea of him "leaving" in light of what we know now, but the grammar as it stands is just wonky.)
