Television Career

This article is deficient in not discussing his television career which only gets a couple passing mentions. Another omission is the lack of any mention by of his fast food franchise chain. 2604:2D80:ED08:A00:54D6:728B:C112:D74F (talk) 04:10, 4 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Referred to as “Len”

is it typical for a person to be referred to by a shorted form of their given name in the article until he is given his stage name? probably should be “Rogers” throughout. 2600:4041:2D5:D100:F039:4981:6A2:C139 (talk) 02:43, 20 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Lead image

Hi, I changed the lead image with a better one, but File:Roy Rogers, NPG 2000 21 (cropped).jpg could also be used. Opinions? Yann (talk) 16:30, 23 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I believe the original one is a better portrayal of the character. - FlightTime (open channel) 16:39, 23 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, but the current image is blurry and small, the other one is in colors, in focus, and in higher resolution. I was only asking if it should be cropped or not. Yann (talk) 17:18, 23 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Agree 100% with Yann. The color image, at 7.25 MB, is far superior to the blurry one of only 317 KB. Also, the color image is more representative of Rogers at the height of his career in The Roy Rogers Show, for which he is best known. Carlstak (talk) 17:38, 23 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

PS: I don't think it needs to be cropped. Carlstak (talk) 17:46, 23 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Yann: One post ≠ consensus, but I won't editwar. Yann you're a little quick on the revert button (IMO) - FlightTime (open channel) 21:20, 23 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
