About me

This user is an administrator on the English Wikipedia. (verify·CA)

This user is an administrator on Wikimedia Commons (verify).

Hi, I'm Explicit. I registered an account on the English Wikipedia on July 11, 2007. My interest in music led me to join the project and my edits largely focused on articles regarding musicians, groups and bands, albums, songs, discographies, and other areas of entertainment. I became a local administrator following my successful request for adminship on November 2, 2009. On Wikimedia Commons, I became an administrator on January 9, 2019.

This user contributes to Asian Month.

In particular, the English Wikipedia has an "ethnic cleansing" problem. Subjects from countries where English is not the native or official language and utilize a non-Latin script alphabet are especially susceptible. When citing references, English-language sources are not required, but a lack thereof is enough of a shortcoming for an article to be marked for deletion. Sources in the topic's native language are often ignored, even in cases where knowledgeable users provide them; falling under the scrutiny of the eyes of the wrong group of users can easily lead to the systemic removal of invaluable articles. Actively trying to save these articles is a daunting task to undertake, but the effort on those who commit to handle this issue to the best of their ability is desperately needed.

In my small part to combat this issue, I contribute to Wikipedia Asian Month every November since 2016. Below are a list of articles I have created for the event.

My photography

In 2018, I decided to pick up a new hobby: photography. Originally from the United States, I figured I could offer the community some content unique to my life experiences in South Korea. My craft has taken me across the country as I honed my skills while capturing images of musicians, actors, sportspeople, and more. In 2025, I have uploaded 228 self-taken photos so far, sorted by date of the most recently taken.
