Somebody claimed that Jones spent an entire half hour debating on Pick a Box whether Warren Hastings could be considered to be the first GG of India. As far as I know this is a gross exaggeration, but if somebody has a reference to prove that he did, by all means undo my edit. Conrad Leviston ( talk) 14:57, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
On last night's episode, Jones said that he regularly checks his WP article to see how it's coming along, and that he uses WP for much of his research. That's a vote of confidence if ever there was one. -- JackofOz ( talk) 08:22, 23 June 2008 (UTC)
I can add a family legend to this story. My father, David Littleton, is a cousin of Barry Jones' who was also born in Geelong. The family story that my Dad tells is that it was Encyclopedia Britannica who were corrected by Dr. Jones. I can't remember the quiz show or the question, but the legend is that the Encylcopedia issued an apology to Barry and changed their own data.
