hi,
fyi, an invented conflict persisted on wikipedia for years including naming an island which does not exist. and got deleted recently: * http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/01/08/wikipedia-hoax-bicholim-conflict_n_... * http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:List_of_hoaxes_on_Wikipedia
it even got "good article" status :)
user SelfSkewed got famous for finding it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:ShelfSkewed (later probably here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:ShelfSkewed/Archive_6) as he is in all the newspapers, at least in these languages i can understand.
