editHow is it that this page isnt better written? Kieren Perkins was a huge hero in Australian sport for so many years, yet the page lacks a picture and generally looks pretty poor.
If i were wanting to use this page as a resource id be put off by its layout and lack of depth. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 218.185.86.226 (talk) 05:36, 11 September 2007 (UTC)
I don't think it's appropriate that these details of his personal life are up on Wikipedia! Give the poor family some privacy, please! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Giniepooh (talk • contribs) 08:20, 4 December 2010 (UTC)
Page in serious need of improvement
editI can't believe that one of Australia's greatest ever athletes/Olympians and one of the world's greatest ever swimmers has a page like this. The preceeding comments on the talk page are 10/13 years old, are both valid points and nothing was ever done about them. I'm going to take it upon myself to do something about this. He deserves much better. MaskedSinger (talk) 18:23, 15 September 2020 (UTC)
- Go for it. I don't know much about him myself ... he's only on my watchlist because of link-breaking vandalism that lasted for more than a month. Graham87 03:36, 16 September 2020 (UTC)
- Thanks @Graham87:. Nice to meet you. I dodn't know anything about that but I'm going to give Kieren the page he deserves. Be well. MaskedSinger (talk) 13:08, 16 September 2020 (UTC)
- I've gone ahead and done this. I think the page is significantly better both in content and layout. If anyone wants to tweak, have at it. MaskedSinger (talk) 19:49, 23 September 2020 (UTC)
- Nice work! I've tweaked the reference formatting, compacted the references, and done some copyedits. Graham87 06:16, 24 September 2020 (UTC)

- Thanks @Graham87:! I still have to master some of the finer details of reference formatting. Thank you so much for input. Via this process, you probably have more insight into what a champion he is. This page is a far mroe worthy representation of him. One question I have for you - adding an image of Kieren - what are our options? MaskedSinger (talk) 06:49, 24 September 2020 (UTC)
- @MaskedSinger: No worries. Re images: you need to find one that's freely licensed. Regarding the finer points of finding one, I can't really tell you, however, because as my user page says I'm blind. Graham87 07:42, 24 September 2020 (UTC)
