Dancing

I'm not looking at this from a professional Wikipedia stance exactly, but why oh why is 1/3 of Maurice Greene's biography taken up with blow-by-blow details of 'Dancing With The Stars'?

Someone please give me permission to remove it. Ety uncertain (talk) 18:08, 17 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

You don't need permission, this is Wikipedia. I've removed the table as I agree that it unbalances the article. Ericoides (talk) 19:03, 29 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

General

It appears that Mr. Greene was the presenter in Paris for the 2012 White Jersey at this year's Tour de France. I assume he was acting in his capacity as IAAF Ambassador. Would this be worth a mention in the article?

Nickname?

Does he have a nickname? The Kansas Cannonball? Should that be included? VenomousConcept (talk) 15:29, 13 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
