Five marriages, four listed[edit]

The article states he was married five times but only lists four of them. Also, those should be all moved to the info box rather than in the article in paragraph form. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 114.23.138.251 (talk) 07:15, 21 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Findagrave is not considered a reliable enough source for Wikipedia. Could you point to newspapers that we could use as a source instead? – Thjarkur (talk) 12:46, 21 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

A copy of her obituary is also available there [2].--Auric talk 15:03, 21 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Belated thanks. This published obit is reliable enough and non-controversial, and the mistaken 1991 was unsourced, so I just made the correction. —24.191.101.223 (talk) 02:59, 10 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Wrong year[edit]

The article states:

Rogers performing at the University of Houston in 1981.

That's wrong. Rogers performed at the University of Houston in 1991.

Please, insert the correct year.--2003:CF:3F36:627D:719A:EBF7:5B1F:6023 (talk) 22:15, 21 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

They were together for six years and recorded five albums but this is not mentioned at all. 108.36.100.30 (talk) 04:03, 12 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I assume you're saying Rogers, Loggins and Messina were together, if not this is the wrong page for your query. - FlightTime (open channel) 04:21, 12 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
