I was surprise the scam involving the impersonation of a French minister didn't have an article for it yet. So I just searched around to see how often a crime has happened with a silicone mask, and made an article for that. Ample global media coverage for each of these events, not just newspapers in the nations they happen in. So a list article seems valid. Dream Focus 21:23, 2 November 2019 (UTC) reply

Random

This list is random and just bunch of paragraphs with no lead. Can the creator try to bring some structure to it, such as chronology and a decription of what a silicon mask is? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Djflem ( talk • contribs)
