We should at least have some sort of substub about the subject so readers
can at least see SOMETHING. I find it difficult to believe that something
like "lava lamps are lamps with heated wax inside" would be controversial,
though http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Lava_lamp&oldid=139811701was
reverted, so I guess there must be something odd in this case.
