Fair use rationale for Image:My Brain Hurts.jpg
Image:My Brain Hurts.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 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 lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Third Reformation
I removed the fan MySpace blog post regarding the SW's reformation as well as the term "questionable" that preferaced Jughead's post. I realize that the issue of SW's reformation without Jughead is controversial amongst fans and if someone wants to note that in the article (with citations), that is fine, but the Screeching Weasel page on Wikipedia should be written without bias. Ben Weasel is the legal owner of the Screeching Weasel name and therefore has the legal right to use that name with any line up he choses. Therefore, the issue of Jughead's involvement and the "questionability" of the reunion in that regards is simply a matter of fan opinion. There is no need to post a fan's MySpace blog on Wikipedia. It is an opinion piece and not a proper reference for the article. The Civilized Worm (talk) 16:26, 14 April 2009 (UTC)

Grammer fix
Because the name of the band is singular, even though the group is composed of individuals, "is" should be used instead of "are" to be grammatically correct. I made the change. Dantedanti (talk) 01:34, 25 May 2009 (UTC)

Punx dont give a flying fuck dude

Screeching Weasel II
Can someone please cite some evidence that this supposed recording really exists? Ben Weasel has penned extensive liner notes that detail that band's history for several SW CD releases, including to the 1997 reissue of the band's first LP and has never once mentioned the existence of an unreleased album from the same sessions as the first album.

SXSW 2011
I had a pretty decent write-up on the SXSW debacle and its ensuing fallout but one of my references (dyingscene.com) has been blacklisted. I will try to get this ban lifted. In the meantime, someone cited the punknews.org story about the backing members resignation but this update does not explain what happened. I feel this whole incident deserves its own section with a full explanation of the events. --Brendanmccabe (talk) 18:47, 24 March 2011 (UTC)

Members
Who are "Joel the Hole" and "Jerry Weasel"? I have never heard of them and they have never performed on an album by Screeching Weasel. The only way these two members could have been in Screeching Weasel at all is if they were members in an early incarnation or something. I will leave them in the list of former members in the infobox for now, though I will remove them if nobody can find a source or anything. Can someone please verify if they were in the group at all? --BLAguyMONKEY! (talk) 09:05, 12 October 2011 (UTC)

They aren't real members. This page is a frequent target for vandalism. The Civilized Worm (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 20:02, 20 October 2011 (UTC).

Fourth Reformation
I combined the Fourth & Fifth Reformation sections and divided them into 2 eras, 2009-2011 and 2011-Present. "Fifth Reformation" is inaccurate. It implies that the band broke up after the SXSW incident and then reformed, which is incorrect. The rest of the guys quit (or were fired, according to Ben) and then Ben recruited a new band. At this point, SW is Ben Weasel and whoever he wants to play with, so any line up changes, even if they are wholesale line up changes, shouldn't be considered "reformations" unless Ben officially announces that the band is done and then decides to bring it back again.The Civilized Worm (talk) 16:39, 1 August 2013 (UTC)

Pop references
In season 20 of the Simpsons, their song "Cool Kids" was used in the episode where Homer wants to be a cool dad. I think this should be included. 2600:6C40:1300:FA18:CB1C:2084:A14B:F717 (talk) 00:42, 18 December 2022 (UTC)
