[edit] Member information

For the citations, every member's blood type, birthday, birth place and tobacco brand can easily be found on the official Gazette site. 24.83.197.139 07:26, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

Profiling information on each member would be considered trivial (see WP:TRIVIA). This information is more of a fun thing for fans, not something that belongs in an encyclopedia. I must say, I doubt the brand of cigarettes the members smoke has any impact on the band. --Jacob Talk 16:19, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Genre

They sound Punk Metal so I've decided to add that to the genres. It should be known that Visual Kei is a fashion style and subculture and is not related to the music's genre. Stating only Visual Kei as this band's genre is not appropriate.

Please give us examples why so. The genre will be removed for now. I never really listened to them in a while but I consider them as alternative metal and hard rock (it seems a bit obvious). Maybe metalcore but this is from a person who listened to them. NaotoATG 06:28, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Mess

This whole article is like one big mess. There's way too much info on each band member. It sounds like a fanboy wrote it. Can someone clean it up a bit? --DevilSavior 04:23, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

It doesn't matter because maybe some people are trying to research them for their japanese idol project like what my class is doing. I'm not doing that project but say if someone wants to know, they can conviently check it here. Wikipedia is allowed to provide any extra information known so let it be. —The preceding unsigned comment was signed as ice1242004 but was actually added by 220.239.197.220 (talk • contribs) 09:15, 16 May 2007 (UTC). --

That's why we have fansites. 71.131.223.26 00:36, 17 May 2007 (UTC)


How about making separate entries for the members? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.95.176.228 (talk) 11:34, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Official name?

According to the official site, their new name is not 'The Gazette' but 'the GazettE'. Should this be changed?--Landa 01:19, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

The name should stay as 'The Gazette' since the "official" way of mentioning them doesn't have actual importance but just there for cosmetic purposes. Please see WP:MOSCL and WP:MOSTM for more information. AKnot 00:43, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] External Links

I feel that the list of external links is extensive. Some of the fansite links should be taken off since they don't provide extensive information or they're basically the same as the other fansites listed. 71.131.202.17 22:34, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

Fansites don't tend to comply with WP:EL; I took a peek, and it looks like most of them could probably be removed. I'll go through them in a sec, if no one minds. Lithiumflower 23:18, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Vandalism

Whoever put "Gay sex band", you should probably stand in a puddle of gasoline and light a match. I'm changing it to "visual kei band". Bhree 17:18, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

About two minutes after the above comment, I realize how terribly vandalized this article is, I'm going to attempt to clean it up until someone more knowledgeable can do better. Bhree 17:23, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

I just can't do it. An admin is going to have to revert this article back to a later date. Bhree 17:26, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

I cleaned it up as best I could. I got rid of all the rubbish. Correct information just needs rewriting now. Caution! Toxic! 20:52, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for the fix, I needed this information for a school project.Bhree 01:57, 17 October 2007 (UTC)
Just pick a version of the article before it was vandalised. Then click on "edit this page" and save it to revert a long string of vandalism. Lots of random things were removed so I reverted to a version that seemed ok. Denaar 01:20, 18 October 2007 (UTC)
Thank you, at the time I didn't know how to revert articles. :D Bhree (talk) 16:04, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Band Line-Up?

I was wondering how come there's no band line-up for this article as it is not detailed or mentioned anywhere generally in the article either... 196.2.113.79 (talk) 19:58, 1 May 2008 (UTC)Reitsu
