[edit] "Heathen"?

There's no source for the part about some of Martie's husband's friends calling her a heathen? Where did this come from? As a long time Chicks' fan, I've never heard Martie talking about this, although she has mentioned that the Catholic Church wouldn't marry them (of course, due to her diorce).

Agreed. I found the article as such a poorly written stub class piece, that I felt compelled to attempt to do my best with it, as well as the one (quite obviously begun by the same person) for Emily Robison. I welcome any help, suggestions, etc. I plan to remove the heathen comment, because aside from not being referenced, "White Trash Wedding" has that line.. "baby's on it's way..." and yet Martie had to struggle with different options for years just to conceive. Thus far, I'm just working my way down because the early Dixie Chick years are not as easy as those with Natalie Maines; it's hard to find proper references for the Lynch/Macy days. Wanna help? --leahtwosaints (talk) 06:24, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Please, identify yourself first!

In the past week, I've had text and references either duplicated or changed and do not know the user who is making these changes. Please, if you wish to work on this page, leave a message since I've been focusing on it, and duplicating information or rewriting it with a change in references muddles up what I am trying to do here. If you introduce yourself, I'd feel more comfortable about it all and we could work on this together, rather than my daily changes and your "hit" and "run" approach to the subject matter. Thanks. --leahtwosaints (talk) 05:44, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

Again, I'd LOVE help with the pages I work on.. other than Aleta, I don't know the editors on this page. Pull up a chair, let your hair down, but let's work together! :) I keep wondering who removes Country rock from the info box as a genre that Maguire plays. --leahtwosaints (talk) 12:17, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Revert re: Dixie Chicks Members in the Info Box

Someone stopped here, (first time I know of) to contribute to this page, removing the "current names" of Dixie Chicks members and "past names" as well from the Info Box. I feel strongly that the history of the Chicks is vital; and especially because Martie Maguire worked with Laura Lynch and Robin Lynn Macy founding the band for a period of years that it is necessary to be able to glimpse the box and see how the band changed over the years and evolved to where they are today! Please, if you want to help with the page, pull up a chair, help with text, references, etc., but don't just do the "hit and run" edit without communicating! --leahtwosaints (talk) 01:48, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
