Cannabis Ruderalis

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, and Adventure Time (the latter of which is my favorite show of all time). I'm also a big "Weird Al" Yankovic and Pale Waves fan.

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. Currently, I’m a library and information science PhD student autoethnographically studying fan editors on Wikipedia. If you would like to know more about my project—or maybe even take part in an interview—click this link.

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 have been trying to be better about editing in ways that fight (rather than feed into) those biases.

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)
