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 |

More proof that Tarantino is actually David Shankbone, as many of us have long suspected...
QUOTE Huffington Post the future of journalism? Not when they are so easily scammed by “Stefan de Rothschild” By David Shankbone A guy that the Huffington Post claims is part of the famed Rothschild family is actually an impostor. Apparently, all it takes to blog there is to claim a pedigree and build a bunch of fake websites with Moonfruit: check out HuffPo’s “Stefan de Rothschild“... And not even so much as a link back to WR!  |

At risk of being stupidly blunt in the middle of light comic banter (I know), it's certainly evidence of Shankbone's lack of integrity to fail to mention his sources and thereby take credit himself.  |

He actually did mention Wikipedia Review: QUOTE The Huffington Post was contacted by members of the Wikipedia Review, who caught on when Wikipedia was continually deleting the fake biographies of both Stefan Roberts and Stefan de Rothschild, and also Stefan’s fake father “Andrew de Rothschild” (here’s that discussion – worth a read). However, HuffPo still has him up. What he didn't do was link to the discussion where it would have been obvious that all his evidence originated there. The "here's that discussion" links to the WP AN/I thread, not to here. |

Off of the Valleywag comments :
QUOTE Image of lil red lil red 02/01/10 Not to be off topic, but I know of a fake Rockefeller who used a screen grab of his removed Wikipedia entry to continue to support his loose "implication" in heritage. He is pretty crafty in how he has gotten away with it, in that it is his true last name, and merely implies he is related by his loose associations, business associates and the claims of those he has associated with. Eventually it caught up with him, and Wikipedia took it down, but not before he did his screen grab to post on his own website. I am curious how Wikipedia feels about people using entries removed with screen grabs on other sites? So, Wikipedia : we've had "Lee Dennison", "Stefan de Rothschild" and now a fake Rockefeller. So, how do you feel about this? (PS: my favorite comment off of Valleywag: QUOTE I've been using Adolph de Rothschild, but sometimes I get funny looks. Any advice? |
