You could, but it would be reverted within 24 hours.

And by hours I mean minutes.

Perhaps even seconds if it's during CET waking hours.

It depends al lot in the subject and the amount of people with some knowledge about it. About hitler it would last only a very short time, but there have been prank pages that survived for months

True. I was thinking about the Hitler one in particular, as I'm sure someone would quickly notice such an extensive edit on such a notable topic.

In fact, I wonder if there are bots or something for detecting these edits...
