Here's a hoax that persisted for weeks and was picked up by MSM articles. http://www.irishtimes.com/newspaper/ireland/2009/0506/1224245992919.html?via=mr
One question is how to catch / force-verify new facts. A totally separate one is how to make corrections stick / how to improve the rate of awareness about updates in important information by people who are relying on it. What do people think about maintaining a list of external groups / works that rely on part of an article, or providing an explicit 'update' service that makes it easy to get low-traffic push updates to data about articles you care about? Then there could be a standard way to cite / use an article externally which involves a step of being added to this push process.
