Hi Florence,
this page might help: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:List_of_hoaxes_on_Wikipedia
It is of course very different to create a complete hoax on Wikipedia on a topic which is heavily watched. It is much easier to create a hoax on an obscure subject very few people know about, then it has a chance to stay undiscovered for a long time.
Cheers Yaroslav

Hi
I have been proposed to give a conference about wikipedia and fake news and to focus on very specific examples rather than general concepts. I already have a few ideas but any pointers to particularly interesting cases or discussions will be welcome.
Thanks for your help.
Florence
