I see that Howcheng added inline sourcing using Hoaxapedia as a major source. Is this a reliable source? I see that talkorigins is also given as a reference; I know that site is an RS, but anything "apedia" gives me pause. Auntie E ( talk) 17:27, 6 July 2009 (UTC) reply

"Hoaxipedia" is also known as the Museum of Hoaxes which, based on our article about it, appears to be reliable. howcheng { chat} 17:43, 6 July 2009 (UTC) reply
