User:Gen. Quon

My name is Gen. Quon! I'm an editor with eclectic interests that range from Latin literature to bats, but most of my energy has been focused on improving articles about music and televisions. I've contributed quite a bit to the pages that cover The X-Files, The Office, Adventure Time, "Weird Al" Yankovic, and Pale Waves. I also enjoy working on unique articles that catch my attention for whatever reason.

From 2017 to 2020, I served as a Wikipedia Visiting Scholar at the University of Pennsylvania, helping to improve the site's coverage of Classical antiquity. I have a Ph.D. in library and information science, which I earned in 2022. My dissertation, entitled The Information Behavior of Wikipedia Fan Editors: A Digital (Auto)Ethnography, described the unique behavior of media fans who edit Wikipedia. A revised version of my dissertation was published by Lexington Books in 2024.

As someone who clearly remembers what it was like to be a brand-new editor, I'm more than happy to lend a hand if anyone needs help or advice. In doing so, I hope to encourage users to stick around, even after tensions flare up. I'm also mindful of the site's systemic biases, and I have been trying to be better about editing in ways that fight (rather than feed into) those biases.
