Disruption
According to WP:DISRUPT: Disruptive editing is a pattern of editing that. . . disrupts progress towards improving an article or building the encyclopedia. . . . Disruptive editing is not always intentional. Editors may be accidentally disruptive because they don't understand how to correctly edit, or because they lack the social skills or competence necessary to work collaboratively. The fact that the disruption occurs in good faith does not change the fact that it is harmful to Wikipedia.

 * The Wikipedia policy WP:UNDUE is very clear. "An article should not give undue weight to any aspects of the subject, but should strive to treat each aspect with a weight appropriate to its significance to the subject. "WP:UNDUE "applies not only to article text, but to images, wikilinks, external links, categories, and all other material as well." So the infobox, which is a summary of the article, should not emphasize obscure facts (trivia) that are not essential to the article.

Merging/Splitting
Proposed mergers

merging ( "Merging is a normal editing action, something any editor can do, and as such does not need to be proposed and processed." ) and splitting ( "If . . . a section of an article has a length that is out of proportion to the rest of the article it is recommended that a split is carried out.").

 * Death of WP
 * "At the root of this disease are the human drives for power, an inherently flawed "consensus" procedure, and the lack of an explicit policy against bureaucratization."

"Five years ago, Wikipedia could be defined as "three milion encyclopedia articles which anyone can edit". I am afraid that today it has become "a decadent social networking site with 10,000 members who have three million articles to play with". One just has to look at the pages in the "User talk:", "Wikipedia talk:", and "Template talk:" to realize that most Wikipedia decisions are being made by a small minority of "bosses" who seem to derive more pleasure out of social interaction (and, in particular, the sense of power that comes from "bossing" over other members) than on making real substantial contributions to Wikipedia."

"At the root of the problem is that Wikipedia's decision-making mechanism is thoroughly broken. As we saw here, and in countless other cases, any clique of ten editors can write a rule or standard, vote it among themselves, and declare it "consensus". Almost every guideline in Wikipedia:* was decided in this way. No country could survive more than a few years with such a "randomcratic" government; and it seems that Wikipedia cannot either.

Ogden Nash verses
In 1949, Ogden Nash wrote a set of humorous verses to accompany each movement for a Columbia Masterworks recording of Carnival of the Animals conducted by Andre Kostelanetz. Recited on the original album by Noel Coward, they are now often included when the work is performed. The conclusion of the verse for the "Fossils", for example, fits perfectly with the punchline-like first bar of the music:


 * At midnight in the museum hall
 * The fossils gathered for a ball
 * There were no drums or saxophones,
 * But just the clatter of their bones,
 * A rolling, rattling, carefree circus
 * Of mammoth polkas and mazurkas.
 * Pterodactyls and brontosauruses
 * Sang ghostly prehistoric choruses.
 * Amid the mastodontic wassail
 * I caught the eye of one small fossil.
 * "Cheer up, sad world," he said, and winked-
 * "It's kind of fun to be extinct."
