Wow, I don't mean to get all meta here, but based on Madrugada's reasoning and Wikipedia facts, it seems like the OP's declaration of Critical Research Failure on the Critical Research Failure's image was, in of itself, a Critical Research Failure. Let's see if we can Quadruple Subvert it for next time.

No, if we're being technical, this is a case where it was assumed that the picture was Accidentally Accurate, but that assumption itself was incorrect because of the wording of the phrase. There was no Critical Research Failure at any point in the process, and not even a Did Not Do The Research.

In that case, I call Quadruple Subversion on myself!
But anyway, unless the image is incorrect in any way, don't change it. Suggesting Lock Up?

Fight smart, not fair.

The current image is of a person asking if we would have allowed Nazis to host the Olympics and a caption that said we did. The problem with that is whoever put it up Did Not Do The Research, the IOC did not infect give it to them the games were awarded to the Weimar Republic in 31. While it is Common Knowledge that the Nazi were in charge when it happened and used the games as propaganda, they were not the ones selected to host, but took over the country from them.
