[edit] Miller Bros
Information in this article has been verified. There is much myth and local legend about the Miller Bros and their show that is unverified. Please do not add amateur accounts and unverified ideas and opinions to this article. Thank you. --Tintle (talk) 23:12, 7 December 2007 (UTC)
I have put in a request to rename this article "Miller Brothers 101 Ranch Wild West Show" to free up the article title "Miller Brothers 101 Ranch." This will allow someone to research and publish a Wikipedia article about the 101 Ranch itself, as a working ranch. --Tintle (talk) 00:40, 8 December 2007 (UTC)
The 101 Ranch Wild West show should be a subset of a larger article on the 101 Ranch.Jcmcapital (talk) 19:56, 8 December 2007 (UTC)
I encourage you to have This article picked up as part of WikiProject Oklahoma.(talk) 20:32, 8 December 2007 (UTC)
OK, so do so. The best way is to delete all this page (Miller Brothers 101 Ranch) content. Leave it blank so a more knowledgeable person can fill it with description of the ranch (including the wild west show).Jcmcapital (talk) 15:17, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

- I don't see why information on the ranch (if the ranch is indeed notable) can't be added to the current location. As the ranch and the show appear to have been associated with each other, they can both be parts of one article. Given the number of titles for the show given above, and the fact that there's nothing to put in the article's place here now, I don't see a pressing need to move the article.

The ranch is the “Event’. The Wild West show is a “side show”. I agree, the show should be a subset portion of the ranch. But someone needs to deliver the body. of the Ranch Jcmcapital (talk) 02:20, 22 December 2007 (UTC)
Whoever reformatted and added additional information to this page did a very good job. The information is historically accurate and presented in a scholarly, cogent fashion. --Tintle (talk) 14:41, 6 January 2008 (UTC)
It's good, but incomplete. Especially Info. about 101 Ranch Oil Company. Also, needed more depth about the ranch (which is now provided from article in Time Magazine @1929). —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jcmcapital (talk • contribs) 19:52, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
Note: Disputes over page content are not dealt with by deleting the page. Likewise, disagreement over a policy or guideline is not dealt with by deleting it. Similarly, issues with an inappropriate user page can often be resolved through discussion with the user. The content issues should be discussed at the relevant talk page, and other methods of dispute resolution should be used first, such as listing on Wikipedia:Requests for comments for further input. Deletion discussions that are really unresolved content disputes may be closed by an administrator, and referred to the talk page or other appropriate forum.Jcmcapital (talk) 03:40, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
It has been suggested that I communicate my suggestions about the 101 Ranch article directly to you. Why I do not understand, but I promised that I’d give it a try.
To this point, I recommend that you/we change the image (The Miller Brothers 101 Ranch Wild West Show wagons) to this:
. It is more suitable for the subject.
I also recommend that you/we expand the presentation on the 101 Ranch Oil Company and E. W. Marland to this: “The ranch also held extensive oil reserves that were discovered by oil exploration pioneer E. W. Marland who in 1908 founded the 101 Ranch Oil Company. The company’s 1911 oil discovery in North Eastern Oklahoma opened up oil development in a great region in the Eastern and North Central Oklahoma and lead to the founding of the Marland Oil Company, later renamed the Continental Oil Company, Conoco”. This is from the Wikipedia page on the 101 Ranch Oil Company. It offers a broader presentation. Perhaps a footnote referencing the 1960 Moody’s credit rating page (on the Continental Oil Company) would be appropriate. I am writing and expanding the section on the 101 Ranch (not the Wild West Show). I’ll deliver and edit the page it when it is ready.Jcmcapital (talk) 02:36, 20 January 2008 (UTC)
