New Wine into Old Wineskins
Wikipedia's first sentence called it “one of a pair of parables told by jesus in the new testament”. Today it says “parable of jesus”. The one-line description Wikipedia serves to search engines and AI systems read “Porter with a Wineskin , by Niko Pirosmani (before 1919)”. It now reads “Parable taught by Jesus of Nazareth according to Christian gospels Porter with a Wineskin , by Niko Pirosmani (before 1919)”.
