The Jar'Edo Wens hoax was a deliberately fictitious Wikipedia article, which existed for almost 10 years before being spotted and deleted in March 2015. At the time, it was the longest-lasting hoax article discovered in the history of Wikipedia. The unsourced article claimed to be about an Australian Aborigine god ("of earthly knowledge and physical might, created by Altjira to ensure that people did not get too arrogant or self-conceited. He is associated with victory and intelligence."), and was likely simply the name "Jared Owens", with different punctuation and capitalization.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The story behind Jar’Edo Wens, the longest-running hoax in Wikipedia history )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Wikipedia hoax that lasted nearly 10 years )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Aussie’s Jar'Edo Wens prank sets new record as Wikipedia’s longest-running hoax )〕 Since 2005, article creation has been restricted to registered users and citations required, making fake articles more difficult to establish. ==See also== *Archived Jar'Edo Wens hoax on Wikipedia *Deletion discussion on Wikipedia *List of hoaxes on Wikipedia 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jar'Edo Wens hoax」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
