I am Anne O'Brien, Christian's Niece, who took that photo and give it free licence to be used on Wikipedia. SpooksBGone (talk) 12:23, 11 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
That's fine. How did you take this photo in 2017 when Christian died in 2001? IMO the photo seems to have been taken in the 70s or 80s. --Achim55 (talk) 12:47, 11 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It wasn't taken in 2017, I took it in 1976 in the Cam Valley. SpooksBGone (talk) 13:04, 11 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
You claimed at the en.wiki article on O'Brien that you "Restored image after O'Brien's fake Grandson Zelenko deleted it." Yes, User:EugeneZelenko deleted it but never claimed a relationship. See this from Commons:Deletion requests/Files uploaded by Jstars780
I am the grandson of Christian O'Brien. This is a scan of a print owned by Christian O'Brien, now in my ownership. It is difficult to determine precisely when the photo was taken. Given that he appears to be in his 50s, it would seem likely that the photo was taken in the mid to late 1960s. It would have almost certainly been taken in the United Kingdom where he lived.

And given your creation of an unacceptable attack page on en.wiki saying you were coming for someone - I'd argue that unless you can explain yourself you aren't a useful editor here. Just the fact that you made the false claim suggests a competence issue. Doug Weller (talk) 13:20, 11 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Looking ata SpoosBGone edits here, they started off by posting to various people attacks on EugeneZelenko. Doug Weller (talk) 13:24, 11 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It's SpooksBGone. Do some spellchecking before throwing around accusations about people's competencies. SpooksBGone (talk) 13:37, 11 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Also, what is unacceptable about coming to debate topics with other editors? This is not an attack but a challenge, this is how Wikipedia should be built. SpooksBGone (talk) 13:39, 11 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
This Jstars780 account I mistook for Zelenko has a couple of other edits about Pakistan, I'd suggest you admin types check out who he/she/they are making the false claim and if they made any others? SpooksBGone (talk) 13:51, 11 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
No admins have posted here. Doug Weller (talk) 13:56, 11 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@SpooksBGone Sorry about the typo. Spellcheckers don't work well with names (and I see that when I type here is a spellchecker, maybe it was my Parkinson's.) Doug Weller (talk) 13:55, 11 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The original photo he/she/they removed is probably somewhere over in my Nephew Grant's farm in Daventry, if you want proof. I can probably get him to dig it out. SpooksBGone (talk) 14:00, 11 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I added some info SpooksBGone provided above and I'm tending to revoke this DR and keep the photo if there is some info on how this photo has come to be published on https://www.goldenageproject.org.uk/biographies.php. --Achim55 (talk) 14:05, 11 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

That was my Cousin Edmund's website, which my daughter Linda still maintains. I allowed Ned to use it freely before his passing in 2021. SpooksBGone (talk) 14:15, 11 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Achim55 That's a blast from the past. I remember seeing that when O'Brien's article was first created by a fringe editor (and later sockmaster) and i ran across that page. Doug Weller (talk) 14:17, 11 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Fine, thank you. Then  I withdraw my nomination this DR. Feel free to vote for deletion if I missed anything, --Achim55 (talk) 14:24, 11 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@SpooksBGone I've restored it to the article. Doug Weller (talk) 10:33, 12 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you and best wishes again for your recovery. Hope you take some time to walk the dog and recover. SpooksBGone (talk) 12:41, 12 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
That's very kind. Sadly there is no recovery. But I'm still ok, planning to perservere. Doug Weller (talk) 13:35, 12 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
"Perseverantia" was the Latin motto of Solihull School ;-). God bless. [1] SpooksBGone (talk) 20:51, 12 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
In Solihull near Birmingham? Doug Weller (talk) 21:34, 12 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Kept: DR withdrawn. --Wdwd (talk) 11:56, 28 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
