How old is John Campbell? other stats? Onco_p53 09:04, 17 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Nevermind, I just emailed John and added what he told me to the article. Onco_p53 02:06, 19 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Since you've established contact with him, could you ask him for a photo we could use under cc-by-sa or gfdl? The present one has no copyright info. We can't use a photo with "no commercial use" restrictions.-gadfium 02:35, 19 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

dork[edit]

which Prime Minister called him a dork and which one called him a little creep?Nzgabriel 09:47, 21 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Helen Clark called him a little creep after his interview with her over Corngate, where she claims he ambushed her. I'm not sure but I suspect it was Jenny Shipley who called him a dork.-gadfium 10:19, 21 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Jim bolger called him a dork, which i think is a bit rich. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 125.239.44.14 (talk) 08:03, 5 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Middle name[edit]

The article gives his middle name as James, but none of the existing sources supports that, nor can I find it on the web. @Paora:, as you added this on 17 July 2021, could you add your source please.-gadfium 05:58, 2 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Gadfium: I've added a couple of references: one to the roll of graduates in the VUW Calendar, and another referring to affidavits that Campbell, Carol Hirschfeld and others gave re journalists' confidential sources. Paora (talk) 23:08, 2 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks.-gadfium 01:30, 3 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
