[edit] Peer Review
This article has some great content, but its structure is really hard to read. It has a lot of potential, but it needs some work, and some news ideas to make it a feature article. --Brendanfox 03:51, 15 Feb 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Vinyl
Surely should mention the remarkable laser-etched vinyl of True Colours -- Jmabel | Talk 18:46, Feb 14, 2005 (UTC)
I think that's a great idea, feel free to add something along those lines. --Brendanfox 10:49, 15 Feb 2005 (UTC)
I can't work out where to place this in this rather strangely structured article, but here's what I'd say; you can work out where to put it:
- The crisp sounds of 1979's True Colours placed the Split Enz firmly in the New Wave camp. Their neo-mod haircuts were equally crisp, as was the geometric laser etchings into the vinyl of the disc, which reflected light in colorful patterns as the disc rotated. All tracks were listed on the A-side label, allowing the B-side a solid black label to maximixe the dramatic visual effect.

Okay, I see what you mean. I think we need to address the structure of the article as a whole, possibly making some areas more brief, and expanding on others. We'll hold onto that piece until we get the structure right, and then add it in, where appropriate. --Brendanfox 05:50, 16 Feb 2005 (UTC)
"Like nothing else"? Lo-rent KISS, or Lex & the Blue Scream, from where I'm sitting... Trekphiler 06:27, 23 December 2005 (UTC)
1. The only similarities with Kiss would be the make-up. Also Kiss didn't have a keyboardist and are in different music genres. 2. I have never heard of "Lex and the blue scream" has anyone alse heard of them? also I did google search on them and got zero hits! -- —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Mutley (talk • contribs) 24 June 2006.
[edit] Needs flow
This article is chock-full of great information, but there's no flow to it. I would like to break out the wealth of Enz trivia by album, because it would provide a more logical direction to the article. PitShig | @ 17:02, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
- Any re-working of the structure could only be an improvement, go for it! Brendanfox 23:45, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

- I think one of the major problems with this article is that much of what is in the introduction (such as the band's origins) is then repeated in the body of the article. Probably the best thing to do would be to cut down the introduction to 1 paragraph. It's also extremely long, although I do like the structure of NZ, OZ, UK. Willnz0 23:02, 9 June 2006 (UTC)
- I have added some subheadings to make the article easier to read. If anyone can think of more appropriate ones then please change them--Mutley 10:16, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

ENZ ARE NOT TOURING NZ. WHAT ABOUT ENZSO? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.110.145.13 (talk • contribs) 1 Feb 2006
[edit] David Tickle
FYI, a separate Wiki entry for David Tickle now exists. Grimhim 23:47, 22 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] I Got You sleeve?
Minor nitpick, but the image of the picture sleeve for the "I Got You" 45 looks like an Italian pressing rather than a UK copy. http://www.kiakaha.net/nifty/Enz/True.html
[edit] Missing Band Member Wiki pages
A few months ago I added a page for Phil Judd
Just added a new one for Malcolm Green —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Dizrythmia (talk • contribs) 2 July 2006.
[edit] Reefer cabaret
The Enz performed multiple Gigs in Australia early in their career at a venue called the Reefer Cabaret can anyone add something about this? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 203.214.21.129 (talk • contribs) 08:19, 4 December 2006 (UTC).
[edit] Discography
The discography is getting too big - it needs to be moved to a separate page--Mutley 09:12, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
- I'm all for that... of course you'll get certain people who insist on merging everything (like my Enzology article). Kinda why I've given up writing this in this entry.--Dizrythmia 20:11, 01 May 2007
[edit] Mental Notes
I have a comment about this passage: "Mushroom's staff were young, keen, aggressive and willing to take risks — exactly the kind of company Split Enz needed. He is often criticised (with some justification) for the treatment of artists on the Mushroom roster." Who is "he"? That's unclear in this paragraph.
- Gudinski I'd assume. I should fix that.BrianFG 04:53, 29 July 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Reunion speculation
I removed the following from the Reunions section since it was entirely speculative, and Wikipedia is not a crystal ball. If concrete plans are announced, or specifically rejected, it will be worth noting then.
"Rumours of them continuing as a "working band" after this tour have not yet been debunked, nor has the unlikely event of another album, though this is doubted to include Neil Finn if it does occur, as he reformed Crowded House in 2007, releasing a new studio album and promising at least another in the near future."
