    What does FAKE?! mean?

    I was scrolling through my list of posts looking for a Ross rifle thread that I had posted to and was surprised to see FAKE?! in red letters at the beginning of my post. Why is that there and what does it mean?

    Added: To elaborate, here is my post that has been deemed 'FAKE?!':

    "The first 30,000 Canadians to go overseas were only issued 22,128 MkIII's which had to be augmented by MkII**, MkII 3* and even some MkII 5* so yes, your rifle could be legitimately stamped with CEF. All you need to do is find out which regiments were in the first group to ship overseas. I was thinking S.R.R. could be Soo Rifle Regiment but their battle honours didn't begin until 1917 with Arras and Ypres"

    The information posted regarding the Canadianicon contingent and Ross rifles came from the first four paragraphs of P.62, Chapter 6 of 'The Ross Rifle Story'.
    My qualified comment regarding the Soo Rifles came from P. 124 of 'The Concise Lineages of the Canadian Army 1855 to Date'

    These citations can be very easily fact-checked.
