Info Box; Mary Arnold
Info box said that Mary Arnold (third wife) died in 1990s. That conflicted with the statement that she currently manages his estate. Therefore, I deleted the date of death. Someone should research Arnold and see if there is a date of death. BuzzWeiser196 (talk) 14:40, 5 January 2018 (UTC)

Her page in IMDb (linked from his) displays her birth date, but no death date. Login54321 (talk) 06:28, 26 May 2019 (UTC)

Editing dispute
Can you better explain what on earth you are trying to do User:TenPoundHammer [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Roger_Miller&diff=930177574&oldid=930150060]? Because whatever mistakes they may have made, User:Lost Fugitive's version does seem better. They removed a bunch of repetitive details which better belong in the "awards" section than the personal life, and which were unsourced where added to the personal life section. They added some citations, which I AGF support the claims our articles made. They removed an IMO excessive trivia section. You stated at ANI that you removed a whole trivia section. Are you referring to the discography section? I wouldn't call it a trivia section since discography for a musician tends to be a key part of their career. Perhaps the section can be parred down, especially given the subarticle, I'm not sure if there is a need for a large number of apparently non notable albums. Still this would be better dealt with via discussion or removal of those entries you feel are unnecessary, rather than wholesale removal of the discography section. It seems to be there's decent reason to have a discography section, at least containing the notable albums and singles. Frankly there's far more reason to have a small discography section than a section on random shows which used Roger Miller's music, or people who mentioned his name, or recorded his music, or shows he appeared on one time, or whatever else in that section you keep adding back. So your stated reason is very perplexing to me. Nil Einne (talk) 19:16, 10 December 2019 (UTC)
 * It's hard to see it any other way. That IPC section was terrible. Doctorhawkes (talk) 21:15, 10 December 2019 (UTC)
 * I will chalk this up to not being fully alert early in the morning. I thought I was removing the section and got caught up in Lost Fugitive's disruptive editwarring. Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 00:07, 11 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Maybe you shouldn't edit when mentally impaired. I am not editwarring so perhaps that incorrect statement as well as your delisting of this article can also be chalked up to mental impairment.Lost Fugitive (talk) 03:11, 11 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Good grief, "not fully alert" should not be described as "mentally impaired". Dial it back.

On the merits of the discography section: the albums section -- a simple bluelinked list of studio releases -- is typical and appropriate for an artist who has as separate discography article.

The rest should go IMO. The "#1 singles" subsection is misleading, since only one of those was a main Billboard list #1, and that one only in Britain. If "#1 singles" means "#1 on one of the subcharts in at least one major country", that needs to be specified. Since there's a separate discography article, I'd just leave these off. The "Recorded and released by other artists"... belongs in a section about his writing credits or something, the kind of detail that belongs in his discography article since there is one, and anyway none of these were Billboard main-chart #1 in any major country either. The bit about the fire should go somewhere, maybe not here. Herostratus (talk) 07:11, 11 December 2019 (UTC)


 * I agree and have implemented your suggestions. I added the bit about the fire to "Later career", which probably isn't the best place for it but it will work for now.Lost Fugitive (talk) 08:58, 11 December 2019 (UTC)

Lawsuit overturned?
The article on his wife seems more current ("However, the verdict was overturned upon appeal, and Sony retained the rights to Roger Miller's catalogue."). Marty Mangold (talk) 20:38, 31 August 2023 (UTC)
