This essay has been mentioned by a media organization:

Alex Pasternack (January 14, 2021). "As a Mob Attacked the Capitol, a Crowd Built Wikipedia". Fast Company. Archived from the original on November 12, 2021. Retrieved January 8, 2022. Others pointed to a Wikipedia essay, 'WP:COUP,' which explicitly says that the word should be avoided in a title 'unless the term is widely used by reliable sources.'

The image included with this essay, while funny, is slightly historically inaccurate. The Battle of Culloden in 1745 occurred over 50 years following the Glorious Revolution of William and Mary. While the belligerents in both conflicts featured Jacobites, they are distinct entities. Otherwise outstanding essay. ~ Pbritti (talk) 18:56, 7 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
