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. Mirrors of the deleted Wikipedia articles http://www.wikiwak.com/wak/Stefan_de_Rothschild http://www.wikiwak.com/wak/Andrew_de_Rothschild http://www.wikiwak.com/wak/Nathaniel_Mayer_de_Rothschild http://www.wikiwak.com/wak/James_Mayer_de_Rothschild_II http://www.wikiwak.com/wak/Rothschild_Estates His current websites that are being used to perpetrate the hoax http://www.stefanderothschild.com/ http://www.rothschildarts.org/ http://www.rothschild-estates.com/ http://www.rothschildglobalfoundation.org/ This post has been edited by tarantino: Fri 29th January 2010, 7:01pm |

This is too damn bizarre.
Why in hell would anyone, sane or insane, do all this? (Don't answer that. Nevermind. It's Wikipedia.) And what really amuses me: the photo in that TED profile bears a remarkable resemblance to my friend John Atwood......... This post has been edited by EricBarbour: Sat 30th January 2010, 6:06am |

QUOTE(EricBarbour @ Sat 30th January 2010, 6:05am)  This is too damn bizarre. Why in hell would anyone, sane or insane, do all this? (Don't answer that. Nevermind. It's Wikipedia.) And he's been doing it since 2005.. The 2008 version of The Stefan Roberts biography lasted for 73 days before deletion, and was created shortly before he started blogging on the Huffington Post. Likewise, the Stefan de Rothschild article was created shortly before he switched to blogging under that name. He's using WP and his cheap websites to give the appearance of credibility to use on HuffPo. It's one of, if not the most visited and linked to blogs, so he's probably doing it because he wants to be read. This post has been edited by tarantino: Sat 30th January 2010, 10:01pm |

QUOTE(tarantino @ Sat 30th January 2010, 4:58pm) For reference, the page Stefan Roberts was originally created on September 29, 2005 by Pikelet04 (T-C-L-K-R-D) . It included an image that was deleted along with the article: File:Stefan Roberts.jpg. It appears the article was re-created by the same user on January 31, 2006. Pikelet04 was never blocked. |

From the champagne-fueled party on New Year's Eve to that ecstatic countdown up to midnight (this year, with BBC Radio 1 being patched in through the house's sound system so that we could hear Big Ben chime 12), and that oh-so-special kiss to start off 2010! Actually, even if this isn't even remotely believable, it's really a shame that this guy is a fake...since his position about arts funding makes perfect sense...However, I wonder just how much of the money he was obviously fishing for with these websites would have actually gone to working artists? Has anybody tipped off the Huffington post about this guy? |
