Article I am concerned about: lostmediawiki.com/Croc_3:_Stone_of_the_Gobbos_(lost_unfinished_game;_2005)
Yes, I know it is one of the oldest pages from the original Wikia hosting, but it does not excuse the fact that the whole "game" (I put the word game in quotations because it was nothing but a huge hoax in the first place even when I was reading it and said to myself "This is totally not real; Argonaut Software did not intend the Croc video game series into being a trilogy") is not real and has no real evidence of actually existing at all. The only source that initially took this story seriously was Unseen 64 (they now don't take this story seriously and now list the original page as a "rumor" when they received news that the game was proven fake) and that was only because the anonymous poster about this "game" posed as an employee of Argonaut Software and took a screenshot of a castle level apparently still being in development (it looks like it came from a different game that I don't know about) and pretended it was the only "Croc 3" screenshot this obviously fake employee could release.
Aside from the fact that the game is a obvious hoax, there is also the fact that aside from the status being non-existent and the update at the beginning of the article saying that the game was proven fake, the article itself hasn't been updated to inform potential viewers on why this game is a hoax and may confuse them on why it is fake (unlike the excellently-written fake KaBlam! "Episode 29" article). Also, the article is horribly-written with almost non-existent formatting that makes the whole page feel like a wall-of-text and even harder to read than the original Unseen 64 page it rips off of.
If anyone can please delete the article and maybe replace it with something from the Croc series that is actually lost (like the cancelled Sega Dreamcast port of Croc 2 like the hoax mentions even though that game is not a failure anyway if it sold well at 1 million units worldwide), please and thank you.
