Perhaps you're looking for Hrodulf? (not Hroðulf aka Hrothulf) See User:Hroðulf/disambiguation

This is the user page for Hroðulf (or Hrothulf), a small-time pseudonymous volunteer editor of Wikipedia. You can use it to find out more about me, and in particular, some of the 'hows' and 'whys' of what I do on Wikipedia. Nothing I write here, or anywhere else, is officially sanctioned by Wikimedia (or anyone else!)

Who is Hroðulf?

I am not User:Hrodulf who has the same name spelled slightly differently, but is a different real-life person. See: User:Hroðulf/disambiguation

I chose my username, Hroðulf (or Hrothulf), from the Anglo-Saxon or Old English language epic poem Beowulf. It was a little presumptuous of me, as the only West Germanic languages I know are modern English and modern Scots. I actually understand much less of Beowulf than I do of the modern West Frisian language, which isn't that much. Wikipedia has an article about the literary and historical character Hroðulf, which I did not write.

What is that funny letter ð in your username?

That is the letter Eth, used in Germanic and Celtic (Irish) alphabets. My username comes from the Old English language, where ð represents the th sound in modern English (as in the words that and the). It really is a modern West European character, listed in the ISO/IEC 8859-1 Latin-1 standard character encoding, and is used in some modern Nordic languages, so most computer applications developed in the last ten to fifteen years support it. --Hroðulf (or Hrothulf) (Talk) 10:11, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

Can you help?

Article improvement list

In my humble opinion, the encyclopedia would benefit if you call by one of these articles, and contribute your skills or knowledge.

Medium projects:

Draft:Inner Terrestrials - to improve or review before it gets deleted early in Dec 2015
Mario Marzi - classical saxophonist - half of it was deleted as copyright infringement
Seán FitzPatrick - criminal charges are spread across two sections, and seem in danger of undue weight or compromising a fair trial. Bring up to date.

Ebrington Barracks - at various times an army and navy base, and main centre for 2013 city of culture events in Derry/Londonderry - lots of material already in Wikipedia, for example HMS Ferret (shore establishment 1940)
Andreas Raab - is there an obit in the trade or academic literature? In the meantime it got merged to Squeak.
National Cooperative Grocers Association - confirm notability
Wiltshire College - incorporate some ideas proposed by User:Cassie.reid at https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wiltshire_College&diff=590482699&oldid=589664023

Retail banking merge with Commercial bank, expand, spin out, and add to {{Banking}} series - proposed and rejected in 2006 - but still a woeful 2 line stub, confused with a generic section on types of banking.
{{Banking}} template is garbled
Fonterra co-operative capital restructuring
Marxism in the UK Labour Party by Andysoh (talk · contribs)
Electronic trading needs a lot of cleanup and references, as do hundreds of articles in investment and finance. There seems to be a large amount of guesswork, quack theories, content forks , lack of global perspective, and even walled gardens, in these fields.

{{Ise}} is pretty unsatisfactory. It links to Yahoo!, its text is ISEQ instead if ISE, {{ISE}} doesn't redirect to it, it uses non-standard Yahoo! ticker symbols instead of ISIN or SEDOL number, and it doesn't work for {{Ise|AIN}} [1]
{{Tyo}} works better, but displays a complete non-standard acronym, and Bloomberg has lots of ads
National Emergency Medical Services Association - possible conflict of interest

Other interesting contributions

Merge Episcopal into Episcopal polity diff and tried to expand and cleanup the resulting article – took a couple of hours; unfortunately the combined content is still far from being a comprehensive encyclopedic article
Presbyterian polity diff1 diff2 – style; copy and paste some public domain material to fill a sore gap
Semington diff – responded to stub creation by turning it into a start-class article
Kagome Co., Ltd. – diff – stub to start

Embarrassing self-reverts and screwups

Too many to list here.
