Pardon me for gloating a bit, but this is just too funny NOT to share.
Over at the Commonwealth Stamps Opinion Blog there was a post about the CHOGM meeting being held in Kigali this month, and the fact that it will likely not be marked philatelically as Rwanda has not issued a postage stamp since 2010

as part of the blog the owner created a "mockup" stamp for the upcoming meeting :
Apparently, someone reading this blog who works with the Stampworld website did not quite completely read the full text of the blog, because this mockup stamp is now appearing on Stampworld's website

Now I will be the first to admit that Colnect has more than its fair share of misidentified stamps, wrong images and the like - that is the nature of a wiki-based production. But as I handle most of the new issue uploads, I can guarantee that I at least read a full blog post first before considering whether a stamp should be listed as a new issue.
Again, sorry but this is just TOO funny not to point out.

As it seems unlikely that there will be any philatelic commemoration of the event I have put a stamp design together on my I pad (in about 5 minutes, stamp design really isn’t that hard) (see the head of this Blog) and the Meeting’s emblem is featured along with a small cameo of President Kagame. And by the way, if you want a rare error, the ‘stamp’ below has an error of date.
