On 18 February 2015, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article The Lying Student, which you recently created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that The Lying Student was written in 1914, but not published until most of the manuscript was rediscovered in 1981?

Another hoax by this user[edit]

I was looking at the "The Lying Student" hoax article and decided to check if this user had made any other hoax articles. Before he made the hoax article, he had created the article Sumiko Mizukubo, which is in fact not a hoax. However, he changed a couple of dates (so, some of the article is a hoax). If you look at the imdb.com page and the Japanese version of the article, you will find that her acting career began in 1932 and that the film "Chocolate Girl" was released in 1932. However, in his article, he decided to make these dates 1930 instead of 1932. I think he perhaps did this as a test-run before he made "The Lying Student" to see what he could get away with. I'm now going to change the article to give the proper dates. JohnSmith678 (talk) 21:22, 19 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Believe it or not, the other article he created also had a hoax date. I just had to change the date from 1948 to 1949 in accordance with the article's references. JohnSmith678 (talk) 21:51, 19 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
