Wikipedia deletes itself after hoax entry

Wikipedia's strict policy against hoaxers who publish misinformation on the site appeared to have backfired last night. The free online encyclopedia accidentally deleted itself after a hoax article was published on the site claiming that Wikipedia was itself a gigantic hoax. A spokesman for Conservapedia, founded recently in response to the alleged liberal bias of Wikipedia, has denied that they were behind the hoax posting. "Who knows, perhaps it was the work of an omnipotent God taking revenge against pinko Darwinists," he said.
