Help me![edit]

Please help me with locating a Wikipedia page. About a year ago, I noticed a page that contained a chart listing errors found in Wikipedia over a long time period. The chart provided precise information: the URL of the problematic page; the date it was first discovered and when the error was rectified. I tried searching Wikipedia using a variety of keywords: errors, mistakes, problems and other terms preceded by the word Wikipedia. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to retrieve that page. Is it possible that it has been removed or am I not using the correct search terms?

As a librarian, I found it a very useful page to demonstrate that Wikipedia is a remarkably transparent resource that openly discusses any published factual or text errors and when and how they were subsequently rectified. If possible, I would appreciate if you could try to find this page. Thank you very much!

The closest thing I could find to your description was Reliability of Wikipedia which does not contain a chart with URLs. I'll leave the {{help me}} batsignal in place for now, to increase the chance of finding a more experienced editor who may have seen the same page you remember seeing. It may be the case it was not on Wikipedia itself but on some other website. — jmcgnh^{(talk) (contribs)} 17:59, 13 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Nope, it was right there in the hatnote: Wikipedia:List of hoaxes on Wikipedia. — jmcgnh^{(talk) (contribs)} 18:01, 13 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
