Who is Andrew Perkins?
editThe "Personal life" section says Maddison "currently lives in Brighton and has a holiday house on Phillip Island. Andrew Perkins also lives in Brighton." Who is Andrew Perkins? What is his relevance to Peter Maddison? I can't find the source linked to, so I'll delete the mention of Andrew Perkins for now. Sadiemonster (talk) 09:34, 31 October 2016 (UTC)
- Well spotted, looks like it was mischieviously added last month. Sionk (talk) 22:02, 31 October 2016 (UTC)
Factual Error?
editAccording to the article Maddison started practicing architecture at age 7 and founded his own practice at age 17. This seems highly improbably!!! While the link below appears to support the professional timeline I remain skeptical given it would appear illegal. I'd wonder if it a matter of primary school work experience or holiday jobs being conflated with professional practice but the second link seems to preclude that.

Could the birth date simply be wrong? This article: http://www.smh.com.au/entertainment/tv-and-radio/lunch-with-peter-maddison-grand-designs-australia-host-20120425-1xm44.html says that he was 57 in 2012 whilst the Wikipedia date would make him about 41. Significant difference!!!

- It looks like the date of birth, 15 Feb 1971, is very wrong. If he got his first degree in 1983 then he must have been born at least 1962. I would be inclined to removed the date of birth completely. If we add the fact he graduated in 1983 people can 'do the math' for themselves. Sionk (talk) 11:42, 27 May 2017 (UTC)
