OR

I tagged the article as OR for the simple reason that there are unreferenced assertions about what the band think. Something like that needs to be cited to source, and if you got it straight from band members, it doesn't belong on Wikipedia, but should rather be published elsewhere before being referenced here. Also, all claims in Wikipedia need references per official policy WP:CITE. mge kelly 02:51, 24 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Vague description

What exactly is "post-modern aesthetic"? I was always led to believe that most art produced post-1970 was post-modern. Unnecessarily confusing, and doesn't provide an adequate description of the music: somone who knows what the band's about should change it. 203.206.249.161 04:00, 26 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

You're right that everything is "postmodern" nowadays, but what Orchid were is "postmodernist": with a band that throws a wall of Foucault, Nietzsche, Situationist and Frankfurt School references at you there shouldn't be any doubt about it. Plus they used to distribute their music in a way that seems coherent with Baudrillardian views on the media (or at least, something derived from similar views such as what's exposed in Marcuse's One-Dimensional Man, which would, again, be coherent with citing the Frankfurt School or the Situationists.) —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 62.43.180.201 (talk) 16:45, 23 January 2007 (UTC).[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:EB45.jpg

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.
