message: Is it true that "most country music stations in the United States still refuse to play the Dixie Chicks' music because their generally conservative listeners disagree with the women and would rather not listen to their music." ? Tiles 07:56, 8 Apr 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: As far as I can tell, they still are rarely played by CMT and country radio, but that could also be because they have had no new promoted material out since the controversy, so it's hard to tell.  I've added words to this effect.   Wasted Time R 16:35, 26 November 2005 (UTC)

message: Do they write their own songs?  I was kind of hoping the article would say. NickelShoe 05:42, 26 November 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Good point. Inside vs. outside songwriting is about half and half; I've added text to that effect. Wasted Time R 13:20, 26 November 2005 (UTC)

message: i feel sorry for the dixie chicks. I mean, they speak their mind and they are panned for it. I wonder if they came out and strongly in support of pres. Bush and his actions, that the dixie chicks would be even more famous and radios still playing their music. That just makes me hate conservatives American's even more :)    09:27, 6 December 2005 218.101.80.111
:They'd be much worse if they were in support of pres. Bush. How do you think Liberals would feel about artists daring to line up with the same Conservatives you hate so much? Would you feel obliged to buy the material of an artist you used to like but which now you fully antipatize since you've come to know he is Conservative? Tell me the name of even one Conservative artist. They're all Liberals. Some fans of the Dixie are Conservative and are irked by them now just like you would be if the Dixie were Conservative. Deal with it. Get some consistency.

message: Do you think the Dixie Chicks should be added to the "Gay Icons" page? Although the girls themselves aren't gay, they have many, many lesbian fans. I was just wondering what everyone else thought.

message: The material on Dixie Chicks conspiracy theories lacks any reliable source.  My suggestion is that the material be removed, or redirected onto a separate conspiracy theory page.  Morton devonshire 01:15, 4 March 2006 (UTC)

message: Note that in the last couple of days I've substantially reorganized the structure of the article.  The old history->sound->controversy scheme (which I was one of the framers of) was not holding up well in the face of new additions, and several periods of their history were being shortchanged.  The new structure is much more straightly chronological, which makes more sense given that they are now on possibly their third "sound", and that the group's history now depends in part on the after-effects of the controversy.
