Here's what you wrote:

1. "I once intentionally put a fake on wikipedia."
2. 'This fake was reprinted by several newspapers, which were “authoritative sources” for wikipedia.'
3. "All further attempts to roll back the information to the true state were rebuffed by the wikipedia administration"

You have proven point 1 only. Nobody would deny that Wikipedia can be maliciously edited.

Please continue and prove points 2 and 3.
