Hello! My name is Bea (they/them). I'm a second-generation Vietnamese American, a member of Generation Z (2001!), and a recent college graduate from Stanford University with a degree in Comparative Literature and a minor in Creative Writing. For the last few years, I've had the pleasure of working in several literary and arts spaces, including the Asian American Writers' Workshop, Plympton, the Creative Writing Program and Comparative Literature Department at Stanford University, and currently Poets & Writers. In many of the places I've worked, I've had specific roles as a proofreader, copyeditor, production editor, and fiction editor. As of now, I'm currently based in Minnesota, where I grew up.

General interests

[edit]

Right now, my current interests on Wikipedia are copyediting and contributing to pages involving Asian and Asian American literature, as well as K-pop and broader twenty-first-century Korean pop culture. In particular, I'm a huge fan of NewJeans, Le Sserafim, and Aespa, and I hope to regularly update those pages as their careers continue. I'm also immensely grateful to be a part of the WikiPortraits project.

I'm also trying to learn Japanese both for real-world purposes as well as for the sake of eventually reading Japanese literature in the original. For now, however, I'm using my grasp of the language to work on and research articles that may benefit from a bilingual perspective, specifically articles regarding Japanese books translated to English. I also spent about a year learning Korean, a language which I now solely use on Wikipedia for the same purpose.

I've only been an editor on Wikipedia since early 2024, which means I presumably have a lot to learn! Please don't hesitate to contact me on my talk page if there's something that I'm doing wrong—or if there's a better way for me to be doing something.

Asian and Asian American literature

[edit]
My goal for Wikipedia was established when I realized that no one had made a page for Ocean Vuong's Time Is a Mother after two years of its publication despite Vuong being one of the most prominent poets working today. Upon further investigation, I found that many seminal books to Asian and Asian American literature—such as Alexander Chee's How to Write an Autobiographical Novel or Don Mee Choi's DMZ Colony—didn't have pages either! From then on, I've set out on a journey to add some of the books, past and present, which have certain significance to these formations.

As part of my goal to expand Asian and Asian American literature on Wikipedia, here are the book pages I've created so far toward that end. (Author pages I created are denoted with a *.)

The Women in Red Barnstar
For creating so many articles on women writers and their contributions over such a short period. Your informative articles do much to improve the coverage of women on Wikipedia. Keep up the good work.--Ipigott (talk) 14:50, 22 November 2024 (UTC)

On 2 December 2024, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article I Hotel (novel), which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Karen Tei Yamashita realized the structure of her novel, I Hotel, by cutting, folding, and writing on ten cardboard cubes, each representing a year in the book? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/I Hotel (novel). You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, I Hotel (novel)), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.
