About Ten Pound Hammer

This editor is a
Veteran Editor

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. He has six of them: Lari, Aaron, Caleb, Jason, Kirk, and Wayne. Lari's the only girl out of the bunch, and she's the troublemaker because nobody thinks that she's a girl. 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. We could use more WikiOtters!
  • "...Um, okay. Who's Bobby then?": A 21-year old 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.
  • "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.
  • "Over 75,000 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.

My thoughts on RfAs past

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

    • 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 62% 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 Withdrawn a day later, with a tally at the time of (3/6/5), or about 64% support. Withdrawn because too many people thought it was too soon after the last one.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 70% support.
  5. Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/TenPoundHammer 5
    • Nomination by User:SynergeticMaggot on March 19, 2008. Final tally was (156/75/12), or about 69% support.
  6. Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/TenPoundHammer 6‎
    • Nomination by User:HisSpaceResearch on August 7, 2008. Withdrawn by myself on August 10, 2008 with a tally of (102/54/18), or about 69% support still.

Despite the fact that I've already failed six 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.
