[edit] About Ten Pound Hammer This editor is a Veteran Editor, and is entitled to display this Iron Editor Star. "Who is Ten Pound Hammer?": Ten Pound Hammer is the name assumed by Bobby, along with his romp of Wikipedia-editing North American river otters. The otters are quick to add that they don't screw up nearly as often as he does. They're also happy that sea otter got to FA status on March 24, and that User:Barkjon is letting his otters edit Wikipedia too. We could use more WikiOtters! "...Um, okay. Who's Bobby then?": A 21-year old (but feeling 15, and not in a good way), part-time bum college student and church keyboardist from somewhere you don't need to know about. He enjoys country music, dead malls, fast food, and a bunch of other stuff he's too lazy to tell you about. And no, you don't need to know his last name, or anything else than what he's already told you. "Why the name Ten Pound Hammer, anyway?": "Ten Pound Hammer" is a song written by Dennis Linde, featured on Aaron Tippin's 1995 album Tool Box and Barbara Mandrell's 1997 album It Works for Me. I like the song, so I decided to use its title as my user name. "More than 20,000 edits, and you still want help?": Hey, you try promoting an article to good article status by yourself. I'm not the best writer in the world, especially when I'm trying to edit while half asleep (which I often am). My otters try to help me out, but they can't type very well with webbed fingers. Therefore, I ask your help in any article that you want to help out in. "Where can I start?" If you want, you can create a new page on one of the red links also listed below. Or, you can go down further to the list of pages I've created or improved, pick one of those, and polish it up for me.

[edit] My thoughts on RfAs past

See my past requests for adminship here. My thanks to all the participants, even if you voted "oppose".

1. Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/TenPoundHammer
   • Nomination by The user formerly known as User:Whstchy on May 28, 2007. Final tally was (27/19/10), or about 48% support.
2. Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/TenPoundHammer 2
   • Self-nomination, per User:Edison's suggestion, on July 21, 2007. Final tally was (50/33/3). Oh well, at least I improved some; that's about 58% support.
3. Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/TenPoundHammer 3
   • Nomination by User:Nenyedi on August 17, 2007. Withdrawn a day later, with a tally at the time of (3/6/5), or about 21% support. Withdrawn because too many people thought it was too soon after the last one.
4. Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/TenPoundHammer 4
   • Nomination by User:Wizardman on January 1, 2008. Final tally was (94/42/8), or about 63% support.
5. Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/TenPoundHammer 5
   • Nomination by User:SynergeticMaggot on March 19, 2008. Final tally was (156/75/12), or about 64% support. (That's Numberwang!)

Despite the fact that I've already failed five RfAs, I'm not giving up on my pursuit for future adminship. I try to think things through, but I still end up making just plain reckless mistakes, and I don't know why.
