The best feature about Wikipedia is the ability to dig through the history of each article to see just how much woke activism has destroyed certain articles over the last 5-10 years.... I can see Wikipedia taking that ability away soon.
Slowly but surely from 2014 to 2021, this article went from one describing facts about a delusional 18th-century woman to an article VALIDATING that insane delusion. Notice they even cropped the drawing of her to remove her real birth name.

Jesus Christ lol.
I like how the death and legacy section mentions a "Jemima weed" named after her. Someone who never read the old page would have no idea why, there's zero mention of the name of the page other than that. (well, apparently they can't censor the sources yet)
Yeah, it's gotten a little less insane lately... but such are the ebbs and flows of woke insanity. Give it another year and it'll probably be just as bad or worse as it was in 2020 again.
Who'd have known that we'd be scrubbing the name of two Jemimas in the name of wokeness in 2020? lol

Looks like the latest verision https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_Universal_Friend at least has (Born as Jemima Wilkinson) after her new uh... title? Still has the Stalin-esque cropped portrait.
