Rothschild hoax[edit]

Let me add my congratulations. This is a hoaxer we have seen many times before, and some of his previous AfDs make quite entertaining reading - see my post at the end of WP:BLP/N#Andrew de Rothschild, which links to them. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 21:00, 28 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. You did some good detective work yourself. Sad guy. Benf64 (talk) 03:39, 29 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Maurice[edit]

well, perhaps even ..Baron Maurice de Rothschild. Off2riorob (talk) 04:07, 29 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Here he is from 1944 [1] Off2riorob (talk) 04:19, 29 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

He looks happy. I'll write him up in the next few days.Benf64 (talk) 05:06, 29 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Yea, no worry, no hurry..do you think there is a likeness with Stephen though, I do.. Off2riorob (talk) 06:56, 29 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Rothschild hoax - follow-up[edit]

You'll be interested to know that the real Rothschilds have acted swiftly: all Stefan's fake sites have been taken down, and he has been taken off the Huffington Post both as de Rothschild and as Roberts, and off Twitter. Cheers, JohnCD (talk) 11:12, 2 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

...and he is now getting more internet publicity than perhaps even he wants. JohnCD (talk) 18:15, 2 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
