I uploaded Image:kiwiperformersc.1906.jpg, but am too incompetent with photos to make it a reasonable size. Can someone else please do so? Tuf-Kat 04:15, Jan 23, 2004 (UTC)
Done. Images below: Lupo 18:53, 25 Jan 2004 (UTC)

My resized version apparently got lost... use the new image markup to size it appropriately! Lupo 15:17, 19 Feb 2004 (UTC)
In the absence of any documentation or provenance, I would seriously question whether the photograph above can be described as a photo "of performers". only 3 of the 16 men have musical instruments, some are indicating their trades (barber, baker?). There must be better historical photos of actual musical troupes. dramatic 2 July 2005 21:18 (UTC)

[edit] The Checks
See we've had a mention of them for a while. Anyone up to creating an entry? Also Pluto was mentioned and they dropped off. Don't they deserve a wikipedia article too? 210.55.130.65 01:09, 15 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Kog
Can someone with more knowledge than me please mention Kog Transmissions somewhere? I'm guessing it deserves it's own page too. Kansaikiwi 11:30, 4 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] New pages
I was thinking that maybe we'd be better off seperating a lot of the info in this page. For example, starting a "Popular Music in New Zealand" page which would leave this page with all the more traditional stuff. Or even starting "New Zealand Hip Hop" and "New Zealand Rock" pages. There's a lot of history already and it'll make things easier for the future.Kansaikiwi 02:09, 6 May 2006 (UTC)
- I believe we already have New Zealand hip hop and Kiwi rock. There should be New Zealand popular music, New Zealand classical music and New Zealand folk music articles as well. This article needs to encompass an introduction to all of New Zealand music, however, in Wikipedia:Summary style. Tuf-Kat 05:05, 6 May 2006 (UTC)

- Until those subtopics have decent articles of their own, there is no reason to slim down this page. Also, it's often better to create one good encyclopedic article than have lots of little pages. That way people can find good info without having to click through links. Papeschr 04:08, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] labels
ok, how about a List of New Zealand record labels? Kansaikiwi 10:24, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] GA Re-Review and In-line citations
Members of the Wikipedia:WikiProject Good articles are in the process of doing a re-review of current Good Article listings to ensure compliance with the standards of the Good Article Criteria. (Discussion of the changes and re-review can be found here). A significant change to the GA criteria is the mandatory use of some sort of in-line citation (In accordance to WP:CITE) to be used in order for an article to pass the verification and reference criteria. Currently this article does not include in-line citations. It is recommended that the article's editors take a look at the inclusion of in-line citations as well as how the article stacks up against the rest of the Good Article criteria. GA reviewers will give you at least a week's time from the date of this notice to work on the in-line citations before doing a full re-review and deciding if the article still merits being considered a Good Article or would need to be de-listed. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact us on the Good Article project talk page or you may contact me personally. On behalf of the Good Articles Project, I want to thank you for all the time and effort that you have put into working on this article and improving the overall quality of the Wikipedia project.

[edit] Kiri Te Kanawa?
The fact that there's even a Classical Music section with no mention of her is quite mystifying.
- Not really. Since her farewell concert about 1970, she's only performed here a few times. She's made one CD of Maori music - in London. Her impact on New Zealand music is virtually zero. --Hugh7 23:16, 27 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Maori music
This section is really inadequate. There are subdivisions of traditional music. The view of explorers that the Maori did not sing is simply mistaken. I doubt the connection with imeni tuki. A kapa haka is a performing group, not a kind of peromance. In view of the work of Hirini Melbouren and Richrd Nunns, there needs to be a whole section on Maori instrumental music. --Hugh7 23:21, 27 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Fly my Pretties
Can they be added somewhere? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Kansaikiwi (talk • contribs) 01:37, 4 February 2007 (UTC). I'm so sorry I didn't sign it. I really thought I had. Please forgive me. Please. It's so important.Kansaikiwi 15:29, 4 February 2007 (UTC) Sorry about that post, got home drunk last night. "Never drink and wiki"Kansaikiwi 03:10, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
