Alt text for images

I added alt text to the images. Should be checked because this is the first time I've added the alt text. RJFJR (talk) 16:13, 1 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Adding an image of Perry in "pet" mode

I noticed all the pictures of Perry in this article show him in his "agent" mode, yet we don't seem to have a depiction of him in his pet disguise. I think something like that could legally work well under the Role section (captioned something like "When not on assignment, Perry takes on a domesticated appearance, supporting a belief by his owners that he doesn't do much because he is a platypus.")

Could this work? ViperSnake151 Talk 14:37, 10 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Why does the spin-off list of episodes link on the infobox link to the article 13?

O.W.C.A. acronym

I think it's worth of note that "owca" means "sheep" in Polish language. - 85.222.89.208 (talk) 21:38, 28 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Image Replacement

I found out that the image for this page is broken. We cannot leave it like this. Don't touch the sides! Butterfingers! (talk) 20:59, 24 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Looks fine to me. Maybe something is wrong with your browser. _Blake ^{(Talk·Edits)} 21:06, 24 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I see it too. かんぱい！ Scapler (talk) 21:53, 24 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Not clear?

Sentence in question: "It is unclear whether or not Candace remembers if Perry is a secret agent."

Lets take a look at "new" evidence. -The talking zebra that calls her Kevin. -The random scene of her with tye-dyed hair, changing to her dragged by the jet-ski (normal hair). -Her sole line in the episode's song was unrelated to anything (Why do my nostrils whisper to me?) -The self destruct button"/vending machine" -Her grandmother saying "It all must've been in your head."

Seems pretty clear to me.

Took care of that. JDDJS (talk) 00:44, 8 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Additional Links needed for "Other Media"

In the "In Other Media" section, the "A Perry the Platypus shirt was worn in a Fan Corrections segment of Conan, and incorrectly identified as an Angry Bird by the host. This was corrected at length on a following week's episode." should contain links to "Conan" and "Angry Birds" articles. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.61.82.226 (talk) 15:17, 29 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I have no brother!

Could someone with edit permission please delete the text "Has a brother named Pete who appeared in several episodes." It is unsourced -- which is not surprising, since it is untrue. And even if it were true, it wouldn't belong in the section it's in. MarkYoung (talk) 20:14, 5 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

In other words, Not done: please be more specific about what needs to be changed. --andy4789 ★ · (talk? contribs?) 15:42, 8 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Infobox color

The infobox needs to comply with WP:COLOR. The color I changed it to matches his fur and is AAA compliant. EvergreenFir (talk) Please {{re}} 21:14, 29 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
