I removed: ..."for emo, adult alternative rock groups like Blues Traveler, Spin Doctors, Gin Blossoms, or Shawn Mullins. "

I presume this means Blessed Union of Souls are similar to these other groups? But it's not clear and seems better out of the article.

Isn't this a Christian band? That should be reflected somewhere. W@ntonsoup (talk) 00:50, 9 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Members

The only current listing of members I found on a website were on the Blessid Union of Souls MySpace page. This was confirmed by thier appearance at a recent concert. The "Offical Page" link redirects to a different page with no member listing or concert dates. If you have a reason to revert the members list to something else, please discuss it here.

Eliot has chosen to continue to do shows under the name Blessid Union Of Souls which is owned 50/50 by Jeff Pence and Eliot Sloan. The only two members of Blessid Union Of Souls is Jeff Pence and Eliot Sloan. Any other musicians, and there have been many are contracted by BUOS Inc, Jeff Pence or Eliot Sloan to perform in the studio and live. If you have a problem with this send me snail mail to BUOS Inc / 201 Front Street / Morrow, Oh 45152. Thank You —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jpbuos (talk • contribs) 20:37, 5 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

While the Corporation might be owned 50/50, this Wikipedia article is about the band, which for intents of the article, is not the same as the corporation. For instance, the people who played for the band on albums, appeared regularly at tour shows, said "thankyou"s on liner notes, and have been treated as members of the band by the public are eligble to be added to this article as members (former or current). Thier relation to the Corporation BUOS is indepentent. Maybe add a seperate section for the ownership of the name.

For purposes of this article, those who are currently touring as members of a band called Blessid Union of Souls (with no regard to thier association to a same named corporation) should be added as members. NeuGye (talk) 20:47, 5 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Jeff Pence has played in his band on albums, appeared regularly at tour shows, said "thank you"s on liner notes, and has been treated as a member of the band by the public for over 14 years. Whether Jeff Pence is currently touring with Eliot Sloan or not doesn't matter. He is still doing shows and recording new material as Blessid Union Of Souls.Additionally, he equally built and legally owns 50% of the band and BUOS Inc and is not a FORMER Member and never will be. He is a current member. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jpbuos (talk • contribs) 21:26, 5 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not add information about the BUOS Inc if there is nothing cited or verified. I added a section that address the fact that two parties seem to be claiming the name Blessid Union of Souls. One that tours under the name with four members, and one that maintains a website. NeuGye (talk) 21:30, 5 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It is on public record in the State Of Ohio that BUOS Inc and the band Blessid Union Of Souls is owned by Jeff Pence and Eliot Sloan and this is verified - unsigned

Please see Wikipedia's policy on Wikipedia:Verifiability. I do not think at the present time that we should add the information. NeuGye (talk) 21:39, 5 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I like the direction you are going. Give me a minute and check it out.- unsigned

It will leave the Jeff Pence touring group alone if there is some thing to show that it does exist and is touring. The Sloan group I have seen in person, plus maintain a MySpace page. Is there anything (even an article) to show Jeff Pence has a BUOS group NeuGye (talk) 21:48, 5 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Jeff Pence and Blessid Union Of Souls is rehearsing and booking shows for the summer. The is posted on the website.

Bad link

I removed the link to the official website for the band. The address listed redirected to a different address. The new page makes no markings of being an official webpage of the band. If it is to be included, it should be listed for what it is. NeuGye (talk) 20:57, 5 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not mark the link as official if there is nothing to indicate that it is. For all we know it is maintained by a fourteen year old girl in Kansas. I will leave the link up, but not as an official website. NeuGye (talk) 21:30, 5 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I like having the two separate "Official" links. NeuGye (talk) 21:54, 5 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
