Wikipedia: a true-false war published five years

Usually the nonsense they therefore disappear after a while. But there are fakes that have a hard life. "Conflict of Bicholim" is an example. This article describes a battle in India fabricated remained no less than 5 years before being removed!

It was an article on the 1640-1641 conflict, which pitted the Portuguese rulers of Goa (South India) and Indian Maratha empire. Launched in July 2007, the deception was not discovered until last December.

False credentials

Recall, however, that Wikipedia is an encyclopedia compiling articles created and edited by volunteer contributors anonymous. By its nature, Wikipedia can be easily trolled by malicious users.
