Hello! You may know me as Oddtom elsewhere, but I'm Sesamehoneytart here. An ex chose my name and now I'm stuck with it, but lemons and lemonade, right? As of May 2019[update] I live in Hartford and I've been a registered editor since February 2, 2010.
I was first introduced to Wikipedia when a member of my crew team told me that our coach had his own Wikipedia article. Even better, anyone can edit it! You mean I can draw a mustache on his image and upload it? I'm in. A few nanoseconds later, my additions were subsequently reverted as vandalism.
A few hours of fascinated clicking later, I found a surprising amount of incomplete and/or missing subjects that I felt should be notable. I created new pages from the dark ages of pixellated 1990s learning games. When I ran out of those, I avoided doing my Organic Chemistry homework by creating and expanding on articles about orphan diseases using journals my college had access to. No, not diseases that orphans have, you clown. Orphan diseases. Look it up.
Where was I? Oh yeah. A writer in Los Angeles and I obliterated the challenge to make an article for every answer in Stanford's collegiate bowl trivia league. To be fair, We're still working on it, but the goal was to bring all categories above 90% by the end of the year.
After I graduated, I started my Pokemon journey, updating plant and bug pictures for those I could positively identify in my area. Most of the random insects I found didn't even have a genus article yet, and all of them needed pictures.

I had some trouble moving from building websites for small businesses to a more permanent position because my degree was in "Biology" instead of "Computer Science". It was a bit frustrating, but I enjoy using computers to solve problems, so to practice regular expressions, I wrote scrapers to help me build semi-solid articles quickly for every genus of spider currently accepted by the World Spider Catalog. I didn't get any job offers, but the spiders are getting the attention they deserve, so there's that.
As of March 2019[update] I spend my days here trying to connect as many spider pictures to their articles as I can find. Right now, I'm an airplane janitor looking to find a way to use these and some of my other skills to write flight plans for the company that own the ships that I'm cleaning every night. Wish me luck!
Thanks for all the luck, everyone! I did it! I'm with the mainline now, which means I can list standby on flights so my new goal is to help update Wikipedia's picture collection for places either nobody goes or nobody considers might need a photo on Wikipedia.

[edit]When I'm bored, I'll play my favorite Wikigames:
Wikigame #1: "Reverse WikiJeopardy"
The goal of this game is to find the question (the related article) given the answer. Answers may be found here.
Wikigame#2: "Dis-Disambiguation"
The goal of this game is to find out which of the given meanings an article is referring to and redirect it to the correct page. Here's an example: If an article on Warts links to "vesicle" (a disambig page) and, upon reading the article, you find that it is referring to a trapped liquid, change the link from vesicle to vesicle (biology and chemistry).
Topics for this game can be found here.
