[edit] Poorly Sourced? I don't think so - well not anymore

• I Have sources all the sources I have usedm but that box still appears, which states that the article is poorly sources! User:JoWal

• I think the date of his birth is wrong

• Not according to imdb and other sources, although If your have enough sources please change it, although please leave the four ~'s after your message to make life easier, JoWal 18:35, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

• Just looking at all the other sources and it states 1968, in addition, watching Dom Joly's big adventure, he went to the caves where he carved his name in them in 1975, he wouldnt have carved the caves when he was 2?????

[edit] Revert

Removed a change to the document since it was an opinion by anonymous user with no citation provided and removed information to make it look more like a promo for the show. Gordie 18:19, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Proof is not equal to percent

In "Dom Joly's Happy Hour" it says "After that Joly hilariously visited Russia, trying 80% proof homemade vodka;..."

80% alcohol is 160 proof, 80 proof is 40% alcohol. From context, I suspect it's supposed to be 80%, but not being positive I didn't want to change it. --StarChaser Tyger 03:17, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Attended school with Osama Bin-Laden?

Someone inserted a line of text referencing that while in Lebanon, Joly attended high school with Osama Bin-Laden. Not only are their dates of birth almost a decade off, but Bin-Laden did not grow up in Lebanon, let alone go to high school there. It appears that this was inspired by this video: http://digg.com/videos/comedy/Dom_Joly_and_Osama_Bin_Laden_on_Would_I_Lie_to_You in which Joly attempts to [falsely] persuade a panel that he attended high school with Bin-Laden.

Removed line of text. What is a username? 21:48, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

Actually, that clip from digg.com is merely a promo for the show Would I Lie To You, and does not reveal whether it is true or not, however, this video: http://youtube.com/watch?v=ylYQjzYocVs reveals it is actually true Tommeehan 15:47, 18 August 2007 (UTC)

Not only is it true, but It has been common knowledge for some time. His appearence on 'would i lie to you' was not the first time that this infi was revealed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 172.200.34.38 (talk) 03:36, 9 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Teddy-bear party?

This article says that the TBP came fourth, beating the UKIP. Yet the main article link's results table shows it coming fifth, trounced by the aforementioned nationalists.

[edit] Where has the "Notable Quotes" section gone?

That was a really good section

[edit] Surname?

His surname switches back and forth between Joly and Jolly throughout the article (so much so that it initially struck me as somebody's attempt at a subtle joke). Fivepast (talk) 21:46, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Paul Zenon???

Has Paul Zenon been editing this page? There are loads of useless sentences plugging Paul Zenon and trying to descredit Dom Joly...Darrek Attilla (talk) 11:46, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
