The length of time the "Tim Verfaillie" hoax stood unchallenged impressive - over 13 years. The article's author has few contributions, and hasn't been active since 2006 (on the English Wikipedia, at least): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Bruges https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Bruges I wonder how many other hoax articles are out there, having existed for decades without proper verification or review.
