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.
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.
For reviewing 5 of my GA nominations. 4 that passed and 1 that hasn't. Thank you. Good job with your The X-Files and The Office work. TBrandley 16:05, 24 June 2012 (UTC)

The year was 2008; I was roughly 8.52 years younger, 50 pounds (23 kg) lighter, and known by the unfortunate sobriquet User:pd_THOR. After making a lot of edits to "Weird Al" Yankovic (album), I bumped into the seemingly equally-enthusiastic Gen. Quon. We enjoyed a pretty congenial back-and-forth for a time, and I haunted both the article and its talk page until, in autumn 2010, Quon made some edits to the article that were entirely correct, wholesome, and improvements. <pout>…and I didn't like them.</pout> I had a little fit because he was right, I was wrong, and the article was not mine to 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)

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. PerryPerryDTalk To Me 19:46, 8 April 2022 (UTC)

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!
