"The one good thing about music, is when it hits, you feel no pain. "

Hi, my name is Hersch and I've been editing on wikipedia for a while.. though it took my work on the Starbucks article (the Frappuccinos in the Holy Land section) for me to actually register and become a member. I'm still debating whether this was a good idea or not because now I'm on here several times a day, frantically checking my watch list, even though I only have about 10-15 pages on there.

Articles I contribute on:

 * The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf
 * Apple Store (retail)
 * Barnes & Noble
 * College radio
 * Starbucks - they killed my section and most of my other work. C'est la wiki.
 * Third Street Promenade
 * URJ Kutz Camp
 * Union for Reform Judaism
 * United Synagogue Youth

aka My Wikihistory:
I'm a 20 year old student at the University of Haifa in Haifa, Israel studying [mostly] Hebrew. I'm heavily interesting in the music business, Israeli and Jewish music, and.. well, basically, music in general. When I was 18 I started a project for Israeli and Jewish music and tried to promote it (in the project's original form) on Wikipedia. Needless to say, that was my first contact with the "red tape" of Wikipedia. That's completely fair, I respect that. The exchange is still hidden on the pages (everything is cached in wikiland, remember that) and while I'm not proud of it, I've moved on. In fact, I've come to love, believe and appreciate Wikipedia and the open sourced mentality behind the scenes.
