I found a new article the other day and it was all
about this guy who
was described as "the greatest child genius the world has ever seen".
There was a long list of verifications although not enough to cover
most of the points made in the article. I smelled a rat and stuck a
"hoax" banner on it. There was (IIRC) one editor. There were pictures.
The citations were all to books with no online click-thru. The whole
thing just smelled wrong. I wish I could remember the article now...
Just combed back through my last 500 contribs. Can't find it. If an
article had been deleted would it disappear from my contribs?
Yes.

By the way, you have a very scary picture on your user page.
