copyvio[edit]

A lot of this page looks like it was nabbed from a press release. This is just a suspicion, but it would be nice if someone could say for sure. Anyways, I've tidied the page up a bit. We could do with an image of the band. -- Drumnbach 22:11, 27 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

payot[edit]

Hey...this may sound like an odd observation but one of the Orson guitarists looks like he favours the hairstyle favoured by certain Jewish religious groups...does anyone have any information about this?

looks to me they all shave their temples.

Yeah, it's the bassist, Johnny Lonely, I tryed looking for details, but I can't find anything.--Ahmed 09:18, 21 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

he is clearly not hasidic, if you don't understand, see payot

ReOrg[edit]

I have reorganised the page and deleted some of the material just copied from the band's website. A picture is required, as well as a little more detail on their disography. The trivia section could be rewritten in prose as well.Michaelrccurtis 09:37, 23 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Singles[edit]

why is this at the bottom of the page? can someone fix it

'Indie rock groups' category[edit]

To me, they sound nothing like indie rock. They sound more like manufactured pop music along the lines of Maroon 5.--h i s s p a c e r e s e a r c h 08:24, 21 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:Orson2.jpg[edit]

Image:Orson2.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Jonathan King reference[edit]

I must question the paragraph recently added in reference to Jonathan King's child abuse conviction. While I certainly don't make light of or condone child abuse, I must question its presence in the Orson article. It has little to do with the band (How long was Mr. King associated with Orson? Since they signed their major-label record deal?), and almost certainly goes against Wikipedia's Neutral POV policy. I believe it should be removed.

Disbanding[edit]

It would be nice to list the date that they disbanded on here. All I can tell is that it was sometimes late 2007 perhaps early 2008. I'm looking into it. XphnX (talk) 14:25, 7 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
