  3 November 2022 - Nepartikelen op Wikipedia - Wikipedia heeft prominente rol om mensen van betrouwbare informatie te voorzien. Juist vanwege die functie en het grote bereik is Wikipedia een aantrekkelijke plek om onjuiste informatie de wereld in te helpen. Het is daarom van groot belang dat nepartikelen snel herkend en verwijderd worden. In dit artikel kijk ik hoe een goede Wiki-hoax in elkaar zit en laat ik een aantal beroemde nepartikelen die het lang hebben volgehouden de revue passeren. Verder leg ik uit hoe Wikipedia nepinformatie voorkomt en wat je zelf kunt doen om hoaxes te herkennen.
