I think I have been walking around the wiki for long enough to have an identity. My contributions so far have all been related to music: I wrote Music of Israel and most of Chamber music as well as a piece on Walter Willson Cobbett and another on Ignaz Schuppanzigh.

I am an amateur violinist and violist, play a lot of chamber music, and read a lot about the subject. I asked a lot of elementary questions at the village pump before Doc Tropics pointed me in the direction of the Help Desk.

Rav Papa was one of the rabbis frequently quoted in the Talmud. He appears frequently in the Talmud as the troublemaker, the one who asks the questions that make the other rabbis stop in their tracks and end the argument with "Teku" (to be resolved when the Messiah comes).

You are invited to read my essays: /Tilt, how to get bias into a Wik.ipedia.Pro article; and /The Politicization of Wik.ipedia.Pro.

Many years later: I have come back to visit, and found that the same old battles are still being wages. My essays are as relevant today as they were back then. Nothing has changed.
