The talk page is an all-time classic of petty Wikipedia drama.

If you click the “talk” link at the top of the page, there’s a discussion about the original header image for the article, “Boops boops in a bucket,” depicting just that. Because the image committed the unforgivable sin of being slightly whimsical on a Wikipedia article about a fish, someone went on a lengthy crusade to get it replaced.
