Talk:Shannon Miller

message: I know Shannon Miller has some strong ties to Oklahoma (specifically Edmond, OK).  I think her connections to Oklahoma would be a good thing to add in this article.  Here's a couple of things I can think of off the top of my head:
* Shannon Miller Parkway 
* Graduated from Edmond North High SchoolMay 1995
* no doubt more than I'm unaware of...

message: How many Children in Shannon Miller's nuclear family?  I read this article about John Rocco Falconetti http://celebritybabies.people.com/2009/10/30/shannon-miller-welcomes-son-john-rocco/ ;
Born 28th October '09, but I am going to forebear updating the wiki until I known how many Children S.L.M. has borne into This World.  Please investigate!

replies: text: I've pulled the following out of the article. Please cite sources before putting it back: "Miller filed for divorce from her husband Christopher in May 2004, but money disputes dragged the case out more than two years. The divorce is expected to become official in September 2006. Miller's husband Christopher Phillips, an eye surgeon in Boston, alleges that Miller had an affair with a married male athlete and that she threatened to accuse him of abusing prescription drugs if he didn't agree to her demands during the divorce proceedings."

message: Questioning this section of the page:
It should be noted that her consecutive wins occurred when the World Championships changed its format to an annual event. Prior to 1991, the World Championships were only held every other year. In addition, her two All-Around wins were won without having to compete in a team championships. The events she won at were competitions where only individual events were competed. Further, Shannon is the only female two-time World Champion who did not have to compete in a team competiton in the years she won.).
I don't see why this is even remotely important. It's not Miller's fault how the Worlds were set up, and in addition, it's not really important. Miller competed in two sessions in 1993 and 1994--qualifying and finals. Vanessa Ferrari did the same thing in 2006--she competed in TQ and her team didn't make it to finals, so she had two sessions where she was doing AA, rather than three. Chellsie Memmel in 2005, ditto: Q and F. Others on the podium in recent years didn't compete AA in the TF so it can be argued they didn't do a full 12 sets when they won their medals, either. Not to mention that Miller did compete in a team Worlds in 1994, just not at the same time.
It's also out of touch with what's done in other articles--for instance in Svetlana Khorkina, when it mentions she's won more Worlds medals than anyone else, it doesn't mention that the Worlds were held more often than they were in the past. I think this entire article does need a POV-neutrality check, because there are some things in it that border on fan site content, but this seems like nothing more than trying to somehow discredit or lessen Miller's wins.DanielEng (talk) 22:37, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

message: I'm not thrilled about putting all the medals in a hidden section of the infobox.  Though it's tidy, it would seem to me that the awards are a major point of notability, so they should be clearly and openly listed. If we were going to "hide" something, I'd say to hide information about her biography or schooling, but not the medals.  With music stars or actors, we include prominent lists of their works or performances.  Why not do the same for Olympic medalists? --Elonka 17:28, 20 August 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Awards in the infobox

message: Miller was included in the category Originators of elements in artistic gymnastics. However, the article does not mention the element or the skill that she is claimed to have invented nor does it include it in the Eponymous skills in the medal table. Moreover the code of points 2009-2012 does not mention a skill named Miller. Until the skill is described and references are given Miller should not appear in the category of Originators.

I don't want to write anything negative about her so I have not included any of this in the article. User F203 (talk) 18:55, 10 July 2009 (UTC)

message: This article is very biased. praising miller and dramatizing har biography and making her rivals look like antagonists...
 it's not encyclopedia class. please improve it.
"...this close result did not quite reflect Miller's utter dominance at the time..."
"In 1993, it had all seemed too easy for Miller."
"...but disaster struck when Miller injured her ankle..."
"...Miller had the chance to finally defeat Zmeskal..."
"...in tears, she finished the night with a superb performance on the vault, garnering the only standing ovation of the night from the crowd"
:I've removed all the fluffery that you pointed out.  I invite you to read through the entire article and remove any more fluffery that you find.  If you need help editing, I'll be happy to help.  I'll be watching so don't be afraid to mess up any code.  I can fix it.
:On a side note, all the fluffery sort of makes me want to puke. OlYellerTalktome 13:27, 25 July 2011 (UTC)
