I don’t normally f with editing Wikipedia, but last year I made a project out of fixing a page for a well-known song which stated a “fan theory” as fact (one of those factoids that’s repeated all over the Internet, but which there’s not actually a true source for). The issue had been raised on the Talk page over the years, but the standard for fixing it was some sort of “prove the negative” situation.

After a few deletions of my edits and more Talk back-and-forth, I finally got it done; thanks to a sympathetic & skillful editor who saw what I was doing, looked at my source for debunking the rumor, and incorporated the correction (better than I had originally done).
