My name is Jeremy and I have been editing here on Wikipedia since September 2006, and have done more than 60,000 edits in multiple name space areas since then. I have been working in the restaurant and hospitality field for since 1983, and use that knowledge to improve articles associated with food, drink and the food service industry. I have worked for (alphabetically) Applebee's, Burger King, Legal Sea Foods, Papa Gino's and Pizza Hut and have contributed to those articles the most.
Note - I am not a paid contributor. I do not edit Wikipedia as part of my job. I do not edit Wikipedia on behalf of anyone other than myself. If you have come here to accuse me of that, you are in the wrong.
When I get on a tear, my edit count jumps through the roof, especially when working on bringing an article up to GA-Class or higher. I also review Food and drink articles for GA-Status when they come up for review at the good article nominations page.
I have some varied interests, but I seem to gravitate towards the QSR, foodservice and restaurant industries as I have worked in them for more than 25 years. Since I got here I have pretty much taken over maintaining the various Food and Drink project and portal pages. Here is a list of some of the things I am following:
Articles
I have over twenty-five hundred articles I participate in, this is just a few that I seem to work on regularly:

OnWikiProject and Portal pages, you often need to establish a quick way to jump to the page without typing a long name on the search field. So instead of typing Wikipedia:WikiProject Food and drink, all you would need to type is WP:FoodorWP:Drink; this is done by creating a redirect page. Once the shortcut has been created, you can put the {{shortcut}} template on the Project or Portal talk page.

Columns
There are several ways to create columns on pages without going into wiki-code. Here are several templates that can be used to do this:
<span id="With {{Col-begin}}">
{{Col-begin}} and its helpers {{col-break}} and {{col-end}} are one way of creating columns. They are formatted like this:
{{Col-begin}}
This text appears in the first column.
{{col-break}}
This text appears in the second column.
{{col-break}}
This text appears in the third column.
{{col-end}}
<span id="With {{Columns-list}}">
{{Columns-list}} is rather simple method of creating columns of bulleted lists. It is formatted like this:
{{Columns-list|colwidth=22em|
* This text appears in the first column.
* This text appears in the second column.
* This text appears in the third column.
}}
Will produce:
This text appears in the first column.
This text appears in the second column.
This text appears in the third column.
You can vary the number of columns by changing the number after the first pipe (|).
<span id="With {{Div col}}">
{{Div col}} is one way of creating columns of bulleted lists. It is formatted like this:
{{div col|colwidth=22em}}
* This text appears in the first column.
* This text appears in the second column.
* This text appears in the third column.
{{div col end}}
Will produce:
This text appears in the first column.
This text appears in the second column.
This text appears in the third column.
You can vary the number of columns by changing the number after the pipe (|).
{{Multicol}}
This text appears in the first column.
{{Multicol-break}}
This text appears in the second column.
{{Multicol-break}}
This text appears in the third column.
{{Multicol-end}}
