Well that's quite a big list, I guess it proves you can't believing everything you read on there. I still use it to research or look up a topic since a good 95% of it is fact. (Backed by Encyclopedia Britannica)
What do you guys think? Found any good hoaxes in the list or somewhere else?

I know several professors that fail a paper, regardless of quality, if they see wikipedia in the bibliography.
