One Woman's Mission to Rewrite Nazi History on Wikipedia

https://www.wired.com/story/one-womans-mission-to-rewrite-nazi-history-wikipedia/?utm_source=pocket-newtab

Just a fascinating article... an interesting look inside Wikipedia and the water-cooler politics.

I certainly admire her but am unsure about her "Karen Editing..." literally deleting entire entries of people because... Nazis.

History is the ONE place that Nazis and Klansmen and Confederates and Genghis Khans horsemen can exist.

I think I can see her Soviet upbringing shining through.

I've seen it after Mitch McConnell's Ping May scandal broke (the rusty coal barge that makes a fortune, in a Colombia/Rotterdam route);

and at the depths of Paul Singer's vulture fund lawsuit against Argentina - which he "won" by helping get a neocon elected president (for an 1180% payout).

To say nothing of the constant Israel/Palestine edit wars - but those, I wouldn't touch with a nine-foot pole.
