This ongoing silliness can surely be solved by looking at the Chris Masters source - "His rightful birthdate appears to be April 13, 1941..." This is supported by some impeccable logic and evidence, such as "School records show him starting at Acland Primary in 1946", and "If 1943 is correct, then when he started at teachers' college in 1959, Alan Jones was just 15", so not terribly likely.

Rather than listing ‘controversies’ randomly, these could perhaps be grouped by ‘theme’. Eg: –science denial (climate science, covid19) –inciting racism (Yunupingu, Dodson, Cronulla riots, China, ‘looking like a skunk’, N word) –misogyny (Gillard, Ardern) Errolhunt ( talk) 00:10, 26 May 2020 (UTC)
The section entiltled "London incident" states that "the second charge was also later dropped, with Jones' lawyers winning ₤70 in costs". The symbol "₤" refers to, and links to the page for, the Italian Lira, instead of Pound Sterling, which uses the symbol "£". Can someone with appropriate authority please change this?

Change "At least five companies canceled advertising with Jones' 2GB radio show following complaints from customers" to "530 companies cancelled advertising with Jones' 2GB radio show following a consumer campaign by the Mad Fucking Witches which eventually let to Alan Jones announcing his retirement from 2GB."

Contentious material about living persons (or, in some cases, recently deceased) that is unsourced or poorly sourced—whether the material is negative, positive, neutral, or just questionable—should be removed immediately and without waiting for discussion.The Google spreadsheet is certainly not what we would consider a reliable source and the BLP policy mandates that we don't make claims sourced to such sources. Of the other sources you emailed me ( [1], [2], [3], [4]), the only one that I would consider a RS for BLP purposes is the Sydney Morning Herald article. Everything that article could be used to support is already in the article so it doesn't add much, though. I hope this helps. Eggishorn (talk) (contrib) 16:48, 26 October 2020 (UTC)
