This elaborate hoax was set up with several articles created by User:Womblethereof.

It was mentioned at the Biographies of living persons/Noticeboard yesterday and all the articles have been deleted.

His 238 twitter followers and the folks at the Huffington Post (where he wrote an editorial that received 130 comments) have yet to catch on though.

Perhapes we can get Cyclopia to archive it all on-line somewhere on Encyc, so the BLP information on Mr. S. Rothschild is not lost to history. rolleyes.gif You know how important that is. wink.gif
