I have done very similar stuff to Wikipedia for almost ten years now. It is astonishingly easy to make specious claims in backwater articles that no one cares about. It is pretty insane what happens to the articles afterwards. For example, on one article, someone else has made a couple of edits adding even more lies to my completely invented claims! Another "subtle vandal" (as I call myself)! I never expected that. And when someone else edits your false information for clarity, or whatever, it's as good as gold. One trick I use to encourage that is to make minor grammatical or spelling errors. If a human doesn't lumber by to edit (and then seal into fact) my bullshit information, usually an automated bot will eventually do the same thing. It's very important not to make your information sound too trite or wild. Most Wikipedia editors take everything with a big grain of salt the last few years.
