[edit] Original research in Instrumentation section

The section contains conclusions about sections of the band. Each rank has OR, per WP:OR policy 2. I can't speak to their technical correctness, but there needs to be citations from reliable sources. A few specific examples:

• "provide the Band with the base of their powerful and deep sound."

• "provide the Band's sound a great deal of color with their high note riffs at the end of songs. By far, this is the loudest section in the Band based on a per person basis."

• "They are the hardest working section in the Band".

[edit] Changed

I changed much of the page to get rid of the opinionated phrases and things copied from the Badger Band website. Any further suggestions would be appreciated. Crayolatwo 00:34, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

1. Your image is up for speedy deletion. Let me know if you need help tagging an image. Essentially you can only upload an image that you took yourself, so don't bother trying to upload someone else's image. You can read more about it here: Wikipedia:Uploading images. I always use Creative Commons: ShareAlike Attribution, as it is the most restrictive license that can still be uploaded to Wikipedia.
2. The Instrumentation section describes how each part of the band contributes to the sound. It may be technically right, but it needs a citation for verification from a reliable source, or I will remove it soon. Royalbroil ^T : C 04:18, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

• I don't have any verification other than the music itself and experience, so I just did away with most of that section. It is probably cleaner now anyway. Crayolatwo 07:56, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
