She Spent a Decade Writing Fake Russian History. Wikipedia Just Noticed.

A Chinese woman created over 200 fictional articles on Chinese Wikipedia, writing millions of words of imagined history that went unnoticed for more than 10 years.

Intriguing that in a country of over 1 billion people it took this long for someone with a passing understanding of Russia in the middle ages to notice? Likewise, no bilingual Russian just wandered onto the Chinese page to see what was being touted as Russian history and said, "say what??"
