I would like to nominate [[User:I B Wright]]'s current endeavour on [[Pentagrid converter]] for [[WP:LAME]]. He keeps re-inserting a piece of text that is completely nonsensical. He claims that it's a "literary device" and insists that "all the vacuum-tube-savvy editors are happy with it". Four different people have already removed it (myself included) and he keeps reinserting it.

Specifically, it appears keeps reinserting a piece of text such that the opening of the section, "The Pentode," reads:
"[Pentode? Are you quite sure? - Ed.] Absolutely. One UK company, Mazda, produced a triode-pentode frequency changer, the AC/TP."
Just to make it clear, the interpolation "[Pentode? Are you quite sure? - Ed.] Absolutely." appears in the text of the article itself, not the discussion page. I don't see where he calls it a "literary device," but I do see edit comments to the effect that "Reverted: It's not inline discussion" and "Once again - IT'S *NOT* DISCUSSION."
But, hey, how can you argue with anyone whose username is "I. B. Wright?"
