[edit] Gerard den Sthronthope

I'm quite sure that this article is a hoax, for a couple of reasons:

• no google matches for this "famous Dutch person"
• his last name Sthronthope => from the Dutch "Stronthoop", meaning "Pile of shit"
• the mentioned "Johan de Wittjes" tulips, supposedly famous, are nowhere mentioned on internet.

The biography sounds quite plausible, could be from someone else, but I'm pretty sure this is fake. JoanneB 19:10, 23 September 2005 (UTC)

• Reads convincingly, but you've convinced me more. Delete ---MacRusgail 20:26, 23 September 2005 (UTC)
