I corresponded with Tom Lehrer a few years ago and suggested an arrangement for the missing elements for inclusion in a game I was making for a charity.
Tom replied with his own arrangement. https://peterlesliemorris.com/tom-lehrer-adds-newly-discovered-elements-to-his-song-the-elements/

As per Lehrer's other songs, I have added an infobox for this one. There is no reason to remove it, as including it satisfies the purpose of an infoxbox -- Rockstone Send me a message! 22:57, 20 November 2023 (UTC)
In violation of the ArbCom cases concerning infoboxes, you have added an infobox to an existing article without first establishing a WP:CONSENSUS to add it. Then, when I removed it, you WP:EDIT WARred to put it back in, when you should, instead, have used the WP:BRD process. Further, the IB that you added is just an audio file and repetition of the songwriter's name, so it would be more efficient to simply add the audio file (below the table of elements) with a caption that would include Lehrer's name anyhow, which I suggest that you do. -- Ssilvers ( talk) 02:36, 21 November 2023 (UTC)

Ssilvers,
I made an edit to the short description, changing it from "Song by Tom Lehrer and Arthur Sullivan" to "Song by Tom Lehrer". Your rationale for reverting was " I disagree. Lehrer wrote the lyrics, but he merely arranged Sullivan's music.", which I agree with, but that does insinuate they worked together on the song, but Arthur Sullivan didn't work on this song, he worked on Modern Major General, which is then taken by Lehrer and used for this song. Along with that, the song was public domain by then, so it debatably doesn't even have an owner.
I don't really know the solution to this, but I think it is incorrect to list Arthur Sullivan as the co-creator of the song in the shortdesc.
Thank you for your time,
I can do stuff! (
