There's a lot of "in the same song" phrases. In a second-level indentation, that wouldn't be a problem. The problem comes from them referencing other first-level bullets. The easiest way to handle that is if the examples can be grouped by chronology (and therefore, all the examples from one song would be in one folder).

My issue is that as far as I can see, "Aaron Burr, Sir" is the only song besides the Reynolds Pamphlet songs that has more than one example, so trying to group them by song would lead to either a lot of 1-2 example folders or an arbitrary grouping of songs in order to make folders out of them. To me it makes more sense to group them by the kind of mistake like ArtisticLicenseHistory.Gladiator does

All of the contents concern "incorrect facts", right? And there's a lot of overlap. Dunno, maybe move those examples to characters and timeline and a "miscellany" folder.

Miscellaneous would definitely be a better word for "incorrect facts", I'm just unimaginative 😆

I clearly could be going about this better, but at this point, is there anything else I can do or should I just leave the page alone?

Foldering is fair to do on a long page. It just will take some work rewording and reordering.
