…loved by many, hated by just as %#@$#*!ing many.  About Ten Pound Hammer This editor is a Veteran Editor IV, and is entitled to display this Gold Editor Star. - "Who is Ten Pound Hammer?": Ten Pound Hammer is the name assumed by this editor, 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 and giant otter have gotten to FA, and that User:Barkjon is letting his otters edit Wikipedia. We could use more WikiOtters! Oh yeah, there's also Cheyenne the clue-bat. She flies about new users' heads until they get a clue.
- "...Um, okay. Who's 'this editor' then?": Bobby something-or-other.
- "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.
- "120,000 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.
- "Wasn't there once a TenPoundHammer writing for Roughstock?" Yes. I decided to use my real name there, after originally deciding to use my nom de plume.
