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!)

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.

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)

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.

• National Cooperative Grocers Association - confirm notability

• 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.

• {{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
