Thanks for the first answers, both online and private. (the WikiData one is good and the List of Hoax should come handy. I also got an excellent suggestion with a recent research : http://wikiworkshop.org/2018/papers/wikiworkshop2018_paper_1.pdf)
Let me be more specific... I am in particular interested in cases where it involves systematic actions involving automated systems or very large (and rich) networks against which the community would have difficulties to deal with.
For example, the issue with BDB and binary options.

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
