ZDFH This article needs to be rewritten to express a NPOV. The article, especially the "Role in the Band" section reads like a fan page. Ichabod 12:00, 3 Apr 2005 (UTC)
I know that ZDFHTre can play accordion. I'm noZDFHZt sure where it would fit in this article though? I know several GZDFHreen Day fansite will tell you he plays accordion and he also is shown playing one in the filmclip for 'Last Ride Out' if you need proof. :) Kokiri kid 0DFHZ9:20, 25 March 2006 (UTC)

Consolodated unsigned comments:
"Trè", or "Tre", or "Trey" also means three (Tre in Italian) and is used by many people who are a third of their name (such as Ernest Joseph "Trey" Anastasio III of Phish) So, since his real name is Frank Edwin Wright III, another reason for the nickname could be because he is a third. 75.179.150.252 ( talk) 16:31, 15 August 2008 (UTC)
Are there any official sources out there for whether his name has an accent at all? I note that the Greenday site often omits the accent mark (preferring just "Tre"). KevinCuddeback ( talk) 23:11, 2 January 2009 (UTC)
There is a citation on the page to a Larry Livermore blog post showing that Tre Cool should be spelled without an accent. Somebody should change the title/name of the page ASAP. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.150.245.204 ( talk) 19:13, 13 February 2011 (UTC)
Do we really need to have the part where it says that it is "implied" that Tre can play guitar? He actually CAN play guitar, its confirmed: He is the guitarist in 'All By Myself' and 'Like A Rat Does Cheese'. There are pictures of him playing guitar at the DC101 interview where he played 'Like A Rat Does Cheese' too.

Heres a video of Tré playing All By Myself and Dominated love slave. This also proves Billie Joe can play drums. Tre Playing guitar on youtube —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Doyler ( talk • contribs) .
I realise that some of the music has swearing in it, but does an encyclopedia need to have that in it?
Also, there are some spelling and grammar mistakes that need to be run through spell check.
About his influences, Tré confesses that he is mostly influenced by the legendary Keith Moon, whom he idolizes and who is a clear inspiration over his own drumming duties. He also says that as well as admiring his other favourite drummers like Charlie Watts and Ginger Baker, he also endeavours to stand on his own and be an original and stand-out drummer.
This article needs a picture. 62.31.56.73 20:28, 2 July 2006 (UTC)
Amazingly, this article manages to contradict itself. It says that "Tré does, however, have some songwriting credits and vocals on the band's albums. He wrote/sang the bonus track "All by Myself" on Dookie..." (Role In Green Day). However, the trivia section says that "Tré Cool did not actually write the song All by Myself. Billie Joe did." Evidently these sections were added by different authors. I'd have corrected it myself, however I'm unsure which one is actually true. So, if possible, could anyone get onto fixing this? Lukasa 20:27, 15 July 2006 (UTC)
Is there any way that more people could watch this article. I'm having a hard time keeping up with all the changes that are being made.

Let's clear this up. Is he actually half German and half American to be included in the German - Americans category or is he "German" because his father was an american soldier stationed in Germany? If this is actually the case, he definitely should be in this category. Norum ( talk) 23:20, 28 August 2009 (UTC)
Why does it still ridiculously say "German born American" in the opening paragraph? He's not German, he never was German. Being born on a US military base in Germany to American parents and then being brought up in the US doesn't make someone "German born". I'm sure it isn't usual Wikipedia procedure to describe someone that way in this situation. It should just say he's an American drummer, the info on where he was born is still available in the info box and early life section.
There's a note at the beginning of the bio section that states he is the youngest member of the band. I don't challenge the accuracy of the statement, but I don't think its notable enough to warrant mentioning, especially at the beginning of the article. As all 3 members of the band were born in the same year (1972), to say they are all the same age carries a more accurate connotation than saying one is the youngest, which implies a somewhat significant age gap. Maybe if they were brothers it would be relevant, but they are not (to my knowledge) related in any way. It would be one thing if he were born in 72 and the other 2 guys with born in the mid-60s, or in the 80s, but as it is it seems like a pretty irrelevant piece of trivia.
