This is a historic ranch, established prior to the American Civil War, which spans 30,000 acres near the US-Mexico border. This is not an advertisement. Zigzig20s ( talk) 04:23, 15 February 2016 (UTC)
I removed the statement about the current owner being a Democratic Party donor. I don't think we normally consider such matters relevant to ownership of private property. The death of Justice Scalia at the ranch last weekend also seems to have raised a little tinfoil hat thinking, and this sort of irrelevant detail is their hall mark. -- TS 12:27, 15 February 2016 (UTC)
Is anyone able to find a reference about their use (or lack thereof) of E-Verify? Zigzig20s ( talk) 00:58, 16 February 2016 (UTC)
Unclear whether he died on February 12 or February 13.. Perhaps a link bak to the main section describing his death is in order? Optim.usprime ( talk) 21:57, 21 February 2016 (UTC)
I disagree with mentioning Scalia, the Order of St. Hubertus, and the Ranch together. It amounts to a kind of guilt-by-association presentation. The cited source says that Scalia had neither membership in nor connection to the Order. That Scalia's death brought a brief flicker of media attention to the Order is not encyclopedic. (Really, just headline hunting by the one WaPo reporter looking for yet another detail to squeeze a further article out of the Scalia death story.) The fact that Scalia died at the Ranch is the sufficient point here. I think that bit of text should come back out. I invite comment from other editors.-- Pechmerle ( talk) 03:30, 9 March 2016 (UTC)
I was going to revert this edit but had an edit conflict. Scottsdesk, instead of edit-warring, please explain why you believe that the reason The Chicks changed their name is of any possible relevance to this article. Schazjmd (talk) 18:52, 22 October 2020 (UTC)
In May 1999, the ranch hosted the wedding of country musicians Charlie Robison and Emily Robison.and just leave it at that; both names are wikilinked for anyone who wants more information. Schazjmd (talk) 20:24, 22 October 2020 (UTC)
