There is still some overlooked evidence that will be important — whether this is a forgery or not.

Late on Aug 2, when this was all new, someone started an account on Wikimedia Commons by the name of User:Sygs99. This User:Sygs99 then uploaded an image called photocopy.jpg. An IP account based in Zoetermeer, Netherlands then tried to insert this same image into the appropriate English wikipedia article, though it didn’t last long there. The image was still visible on Commons until the 4th., when it was deleted by an admin there.

As far as I can tell, nobody else but me even looked at this image. It is a completely different document to the “Certified Copy of Registration of Birth” - this one is titled “Birth Certificate” - although all the info on it is the same as on the “Certified Copy...”, including the page number ref, and even Mr. Oduya’s name as registrar. At the bottom it says “Price: Ten Shillings”.

Now unfortunately I didn’t get this image on my hd (I have looked in cache and can’t get it from Firefox)... There seems to be no copy of it available anywhere on the net at the moment.

The only people who can see this other document now would be the uploader, or anyone with an admin level account on Wikimedia Commons can see it.

Is there someone who knows how to get a friendly admin on commons to take a look?

If genuine, it would be corroborating evidence. If a forgery, it would be evidence as to who’s behind this.

And we should believe someone who created an account on August 4th, when this is all going on?

Why do I get the feeling you’re trying to BS the FR more?
