Got the graphic of vandalism on @Wikipedia article about @asmashirazi from @drfarasat. Fixed the description and it’s holding. For now. The article on @NadeemfParacha is also often a target. The one on @theRealYLH has been hounded to deletion
Then found the same on the article on @HamidMirPAK.
Fellow #Wikipedians and media workers help find more instances of vandalism on articles about other Pakistani journalists?

I tried to put forward what it was she meant and means for us Pakistanis generally. Unless, of course history begins for you in about 2001. (We can't start before that because Imran Khan, in his own words, supported Mushraff for the two and a half years before that):

Jokes on us:
Turns out, the phrase “former playboy” was a bit premature?
