"The band partook on a few tours throughout their union, including as an opening act for singer/songwriter Elliott Smith."

I don't know about that. Every time I saw a Smith/Softies show, Smith was the opener. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.223.12.150 (talk) 16:03, 18 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:The softies band members blackandwhite.jpg

Image:The softies band members blackandwhite.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 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.

Did they really break up?

I know we don't use YouTube videos as citations, but I just recently saw Rose and Jen on a YouTube video playing at a club in Brooklyn... from August 2012! And there have been quite a few other videos of The Softies are far more recent performances. --DanTD 21:46, 2 September 2012 (UTC)

Good catch. They did break up, but do seem to be playing a few shows this year. I've added a line to the article about it. This tour appears just to be a one-off thing, though, so I would not say that they are back together as a band, unless we hear further. --Hobbes Goodyear (talk) 13:04, 3 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
