Deletion of Johann von Holthov-Chikoff

Comment: Even with my limited knowledge of Spanish, it is obvious that someone is trying to graft the oddly unrecorded Jakov noble family on to very well known family trees. The Spanish article, for example, has the founder of the Jakov family as an illegitimate son of Lengvenis - by a mother whose surname appears '''not once''' on the internet. Highly suspicious per  and per . I suggest that all of contributions of the SPA editor who created this article be purged

Comment: I agree that transliteration issues are a problem here, although there are issues of sourcing as if the one and only source offered for this article is the memoirs of the subject,  wouldn't be satisfied. However, even allowing for transliteration problems, I think it is a source of concern that the only online mentions of the works of the subject is one of them being used as a source for an article on Spanish Wikipedia (http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jakov on the Jakov family), created by the author of this article. I know I am stepping over the boundaries of  here, but the only reason I am not challenging that article on Spanish Wikipedia is my lack of Spanish; there are very significant problems with that article particularly with sources and with the use of images, where an image purporting to be of a 16th-Century nobleman is actually a greyscaled and horizontally-flipped image of a 19th Century image of a Cossack. (If you want to compare the images: this is the image uploaded by the editor http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:376px_-_Count_Aleksandr_Nikolayevich_Jakov.jpeg here and here is the 19th-Century image on Wikpedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:%D0%94%D0%BE%D0%BD%D1%81%D0%BA%D0%BE%D0%B9_%D0%BA%D0%BE%D0%B7%D0%B0%D0%BA%D1%8A_1821_%D0%B3%D0%BE%D0%B4%D0%B0.jpeg here. I noticed the similarity when I saw http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Don_Cossacks&diff=prev&oldid=561241166 this edit removing the 19th-Century image from the English Wikipedia article on Don Cossacks. (There is a second image on Wikipedia that has suffered the same fate: compare http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Russian_boyar_from_XVII_century.JPG this image of a Boyar from the 17th Century with http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Count_Aleksandr_Nikolayevich_Jakov.JPG this image of the purported 16th Century Count_Aleksandr_Nikolayevich_Jakov ) So, wikt:in for a penny, in for a pound|in for a penny, in for a pound: as I have already questioned the intentions of the article creator, I'll go on to suggest this article is a step in the creation of a false genealogy for the Jakov family on Wikipedia
