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

Josh Milburn (talk) 02:26, 20 September 2016 (UTC) The Barnstar of Diligence I, PericlesofAthens, award you, Gen. Quon, this honorary Barnstar of Diligence, for your tireless efforts in raising so many articles to GA status, yet in particular the fine job you have done with Cup of the Ptolemies. Thank you kindly for that delightful and informative read! Cheers and all the best. Pericles of AthensTalk 17:31, 17 October 2016 (UTC) The Tireless Contributor Barnstar The year was 2008; I was roughly 8.52 years younger, 50 pounds (23 kg) lighter, and known by the unfortunate sobriquet own. So I picked up my toys and went home. By which I mean I invested no further effort into "Weird Al"-related articles; if Gen. Quon wanted to unilaterally make Wikipedia a better place for everyone by improving articles according to community standards, then he could do so without me. Today, I happened upon the Good Article review of "Another One Rides the Bus" only to find that in my probably-unnoticed absence from the topic, Gen. Quon had been making his way through just about every single thing under the "Weird" umbrella, improving everything he touched along the way. Lo I am humbled. You are far-and-away the better man, and I salute you for your (dare I say) tireless efforts to improve Wikipedia.      …especially the "Weird" parts. — fourthords | =Λ= | 04:26, 19 January 2017 (UTC) The Special Barnstar Your efforts to study the Fan-Based Groups on wikipedia shows diligence, interest, and curiosity. We need more people willing to research like you. Good Work. PerryPerryD Talk To Me 19:46, 8 April 2022 (UTC) The Original Barnstar Once upon a time, when we were both fresh-faced Wikipedians, ours was the first intensive collaboration I'd undertaken. You were an excellent contributor to find in this weird "Wikipedia" thing we were both doing. I have no doubts that positive experience was a significant factor to my continued participation here. I recently came across your username in an article history, and with it came those memories and good feelings. Thanks, and I'm really glad to see you're still here, too. — Fourthords | =Λ= | 04:35, 20 July 2022 (UTC) P.S. I happened to notice your comment above about "dissertation research (about Wikipedia!)", and am fascinated to learn more! I look forward to congratulating Dr. Quon! If I can help with your research in any way, please let me know!
