factually incorrect information how many articles from reputable sources do you want that emilio pucci created capri pants here are just a few the unverifiable claims were the ones that i set out to remove from wikipedia the claims that a heretofore unheard of sonja de lennart who was completely unknown on google until december created capri pants originally there was one site given as a source for the sonja de lennart claims a site owned by eleonora de lennart and created in february a simple glance at this website will show that it is not a reputable source instead it was fabricated for the sole purpose of fooling wikipedia unfortunately the wikipedia hoax was not detected before answers com and other websites picked up the false claim of authorship and it was included in an associated press article that was widely syndicated the success of the hoax in tricking a reporter is now being used to give the hoax legitimacy users pchip and delennart have had no other purpose on wikipedia than to spread the false stories about capri pants your actions in supporting their claims and in blocking the attempt to undo their persistent vandalism are damaging wikipedia
