One of my many favorites here: "Theatre music became even more popular
with the rise of William Shakespeare in 1556." This goes to show how
great the Bard was, to influence theater before he was born (1564)!

This is the single worst Wikipedia article that I've ever seen.
There is hardly a single word that is correct in the "Instruments"
section. The author's main source of information on the Elizabethan
era and 16th C. music seems to be a long ago, dimly remembered visit
to the East Dogpatch Renaissance Faire and Corne Dogge Festival.
I've seen Wikipedia pages that are marked as having been removed for
inaccuracies. Does anyone know the procedure for getting an article
removed? This one is beyond editing.
