Talk:Screeching Weasel

message: For the people who request that this article have more sources, please put citations next to the information that is in doubt. Most of what I added to the page was based on the information in the liner notes from Kill the musicians, which verifies much of the information here.
:The article needs to be substantiated by reliable third-party sources. The liner notes from the band's CD does not count. —Centrx→talk • 08:39, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: There are currently no reliable third-party sources whatsoever, so the whole article needs them. —Centrx→talk • 10:02, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

text: You don't need to cite every single sentence in the article, though ultimately that is a goal for any article, but you should include references—reliable third-party sources—in a reference section at the bottom, and most or all of the information in the article should be substantiated by those sources. As it stands now, the "life story" appears to just be a some propaganda from them or their record company, which a vested interest in making it legendary or interesting; it is not reliable. —Centrx→talk • 10:24, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

text: Anything. Everything. It just all does not need specific explicit citations on every single line, but there should be independent reliable source that cover most everything in the article. —Centrx→talk • 06:14, 17 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Only the first two sentences and the discography are fairly reliable. —Centrx→talk • 06:15, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

text: You don't need to. Add references at the bottom, but the references should cover or nearly cover the contents of the article. —Centrx→talk • 22:26, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:RamonesLP.jpg

message: 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.

thread_title: Third Reformation

message: 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)
thread_title:  Grammer fix 

message: 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.

thread_title:  ''Screeching Weasel II'' 

message: 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)
thread_title:  SXSW 2011 

message: 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)

message: 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)
