User:Rockhopper10r

Rockhopper10r is a pseudonym for a Houston, Texas-based librarian.

His user name is derived from his love of penguins, particularly the rockhopper species. The "10r" part of his name derives from his being a self-professed choir nerd; therefore, the name is pronounced "rockhopper tenor".

He holds a bachelor's degree in English literature and creative writing from Saint Leo College (1990) and a master of library and information science degree from Wayne State University (1998).

He was born in Massachusetts and lived there from 1969 to 1981 and from 1990 to 1997. He has also lived in Florida (1981 to 1990) and Michigan (1997 to 1998). He has lived in Texas since 1998.

Though an American, he feels that American English spelling is a hurdle to global communication and advocates the adoption of a worldwide standard for English spelling, especially on the Internet. This is why in articles he originates, he uses spelling that would be associated with Commonwealth English.

He discovered Wikipedia while assisting a patron at the reference desk and believes it is a valuable reference tool and that librarians need to be actively involved in this project.

Rockhopper10r is a gay man and a liberal high-church Episcopalian. Politically, he can't decide whether he's a monarchist or a socialist, so he usually votes Democrat.

He lives in Houston with his beagle mix, Hyfrydol (called "Hyvvie" for short).
