About me
editOn Wikipedia, I go by IntentionallyDense (formerly CursedWithTheAbilityToDoTheMath or CWTATDTM) but my real name is Liam. I use He/him pronouns and identify as male. My username is a reference to the show House MD. I live in Canada and therefore I use mostly British spelling. Outside of Wikipedia, I work part-time as a dishwasher and I am a full-time student. If I'm not editing Wikipedia then I'm most likely reading, with friends, or editing in After Effects.
On Wikipedia, I pretty much exclusively contribute to wikiproject medicine. In the early days of my Wikipedia editing, I worked on making redirects for the subpages of missing diseases. I was able to get the list from 38.5% completed to 71.4% completed and in the process made close to 2,000 redirects. The list is now mostly filled with orphan diseases and I might still pick away at some of the notable diseases.
Sometime in late 2023, I decided to try bot editing. I didn't like it very much and stopped that in February 2024.
I assessed a lot medical pages over at unassessed medicine articles and after getting rid of the backlog there I decided to try and work on the backlog over at unassessed articles. So far I have, with the help of some others, gotten the backlog from over 76,000 to around 18,000. I still occasionally pick away at this backlog.
At some point I decided to expand a lot of disease stubs. This is still a work in progress. Currently, I'm working on expanding dermal and subcutaneous growth stubs.
More recently my editing has been focused on improving a number of pages, fixing citation errors, and reviewing GAs.
