Pentode and Pentagrid Converter edit

It is a literary device alluding to the fact that a Pentode is an unlikely choice of valve to function as a frequency converter. It has been there for some time, and most of the vacuum tube savy contributors seem to be happy with it. I B Wright 12:53, 24 January 2007 (UTC)Reply

Urwumpe needs you edit

Go on, help him out. Check out your village pump. Quite vague, I know. You should be able to figure out what I mean though. Prodego talk 01:31, 5 December 2007 (UTC)Reply

I B Wright – what's up with that guy? edit

Hi. After a rather unpleasant, grueling experience with I B Wright (and what currently seems to be his alter ego, 86.182.66.217) on my talk page and elsewhere, I decided to take a look at the history of his talk page and and wasn't too surprised to find that he clashed with many other users in the past, you among them.

And while I think it was wrong of some of you to threaten him with being blocked (for tendentious editing, personal attacks, harassment or whatever), he's really damaging Wikipedia, putting falsehoods in article after article (I'm still not sure as to why he does what he does: Is he really serious, or is this all some kind of a very bad joke? Or maybe he's got some, um, "other issues" to deal with?). Isn't there anything that can be done short of revoking his editing rights (which already had been tried once before)? Couldn't it be arranged that his changes must be approved by someone higher up before they are applied? Oh, well, that's probably not feasible, still, it's comforting to see that I'm not the only one who's had a close encounter of the third kind with this unnerving guy... Thanks!

By the way, did you ever read the self-description on his user page?

"[...]he has a wide ranging knowledge on some often surprising subjects.

Note: I B Wright is not his real name, but an apposite if modest description."

It doesn't get much more disconnected from reality than that.
