Untitled[edit]

I have always heard that Dave Mello is mormon. Can anyone confirm this? If not, what is the story behind the song "Missionary" by Operation Ivy? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.29.174.66 (talk) 10:51, 14 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Shouldn't be hard for someone to answer that, as the article appears to have been written either by him or someone close to him... AdRock (talk) 15:36, 18 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I do not believe this to be true. In fact, I saw him drink a beer last week. 67.101.213.154 (talk) —Preceding undated comment was added at 07:56, 24 December 2008 (UTC).[reply]

Subjectivity[edit]

"He was one of the key pieces to the musical feel of Operation Ivy." - As a fan of the band, and while I believe this may be partially true, it cannot really be verified, unfortunately. Perhaps if a source from a professional music critic or some other sort of analysis stating this fact can be found, it can be added with more appropriate wording. For now, I'm removing it. lethalenoki (talk) 16:34, 3 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Primary Sources Needed![edit]

I was able to find some unreliable secondary sources for some of the information that was already in the article, and I have added them as something is better than nothing, as long as it isn't defamatory. However, primary sources for this page and really all pages associated with Operation Ivy are really in need of better sources. I imagine that due to the brief and independent nature of the band that official biographical information likely does not exist. However, by piecing together interviews and maybe obscure sources I may not have access to, I'm sure a more accurate picture can manifest of this worthy band.

If you have any primary sources, or any sources at all really, please add them to this and the other Op Ivy related pages.

If you have a source but do not know how to add it, please either add them to this Talk page or contact me via my Talk page by clicking the link next to my name and I will add them for you.

Thanks. lethalenoki (talk) 18:04, 3 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
