So I've created the Of a Revolution page, its a start, but it needs work, lots of work so any help would be appreciated. I've tried my best, and put everything in my own words.
My sources would be:

[edit] Title
I've removed the unnecessary (band) from the title, as there is no need to disambiguate the phrase "Of a Revolution" from any other encyclopedic topics that I know of. --DropDeadGorgias (talk) 17:05, Apr 21, 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Upcoming Events
I removed the Upcoming Event section as this was blatant promotion of events for the band. Wikipedia is not for advertising. Please see WP:NOT policy for more information. GregChant 01:37, 20 March 2006 (UTC)
How credible is the statement about a new album in early 2008?
[edit] "Crazy Game"
Wasn't "Crazy Game Of Poker" released as a single? DocStrange ...
It was used as the theme song to the 2005 National Heads-up Poker Championship, aired on NBC
[edit] "Heard the World"
Why isn't it listed as a single? I hear it everyday on the local rock station.
Good point, it should be. Lead singer Marc Roberge confirmed the rumor on OARfans.com. Edpaffjr 22:56, 27 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Lyrics Links
Shouldn't this section also link to the oarsa.org lyric page? Not only are all studio album lyrics there but also live versions of many songs along with freestyles. I tried to add it myself but it was removed since I am the author of the site. Edpaffjr 22:55, 27 September 2006 (UTC)
- How about a compromise, I moved the other lyrics link down with the rest, and updated the description of your site. --Bill.matthews 23:02, 27 September 2006 (UTC)
- I like the changes, thanks Bill. Edpaffjr 23:05, 27 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Image Issues

- I added the source and rationale for the image and also changed the licensing to Promotional instead of video screen shot. Edpaffjr 18:36, 25 May 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:InBetweenNowandThen.jpg
Image:InBetweenNowandThen.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 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.BetacommandBot 08:33, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Should be at O.A.R.
I think that's a much more common name for this band than Of A Revolution. Andre (talk) 00:11, 17 August 2007 (UTC)
- O.A.R. redirects here and OAR is a disambiguation page that links here. I reckon the article should be moved to Of a Revolution (lowercase a), in compliance with the manual of style guidelines. Strobilus (talk) 17:15, 14 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Genre
They seem to lie between several genres. We should at least add ska as a genre.
Barrett Ross (talk) 21:30, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
- do you have any rationale for this? They don't feature a big selection of ska.. only a few songs. They definetly used to be on the jam circuit though. If anything, their genre should be Corporate Pop, as the creative aspect of their music has been lost to the unwilling mainstream.
