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 Hro%C3%B0ulf, 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)
