Why is there a description of a specific hoax in this category description? Shouldn't it instead give a broad overview and description of what scientific hoaxes are? mennonot 09:19, 8 August 2005 (UTC)Reply

The above was referring to an old revision in Category:Scientific hoaxes which has since been deleted. -- œ 20:55, 6 July 2011 (UTC)Reply

New subcategory - Medical hoaxes

edit

I propose creating a new subcategory, Category:Medical hoaxes (or Category:Hoaxes in medicine?) Some possible entries are List of cancer victim hoaxes, Cello scrotum, and Penis captivus among others. -- œ 20:55, 6 July 2011 (UTC)Reply
