My name is Gen. Quon! I have eclectic interests, ranging 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 occasionally work on articles that simply strike me as unique or odd.

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 focused on Wikipedia fan editors, and I'm currently revising it for publication.

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.
