Haxe

Hi, Wonderfl! I am a member of the Haxe community, today we discovered your edit to the Haxe's Wikipedia page and it was heavily disputed today on Haxe's IRC channel (you can access the logs here: http://echelog.com/logs/browse/haxe/1360796400). Another member of the community wrote an answer to your concerns on Haxe's talk page. We don't fully agree with your point of view there and we believe you probably didn't fully understand the idea/concept of Haxe as a whole. But let's talk about it on the topic-specific page.

I made some remarks in the channel about you trolling and missing the point because of a lack of developer skill, which were based solely on my previous experience with heated Wikipedia debates and because I failed to inform myself of your activity prior to commenting. Now that I went carefully through your contributions and experience in the community I see you're a valuable member fully interested in improving the quality of the presented information. My behaviour was thus quite childish and I ask for an excuse to what I said in the channel. Since I now recognize your skills as a Wikipedian and developer, I would like to ask you if you can help us, the Haxe community, to indeed build a much better Wikipedia profile. It's important for us to present Haxe in a clear and precise manner and a Wiki-expert can help us greatly! I hope you'll agree to help us find the weak spots on the page and create a more effective entry.

You can get in touch with me / us here, or in our IRC channel, #haxe on the server Freenode. Thanks!! — Preceding unsigned comment added by TentorDa (talk • contribs) 14:18, 14 February 2013 (UTC)

Hi TentorDa, and thanks for writing. Wikipedia needs more people like you, because honestly, there are too many bitter arguments caused by simple misunderstanding. I've posted a full reply to the Haxe team at User_talk:Wonderfl/Haxe, so visit that page, accept my apologies, and lets begin. I don't mind helping out with the way Haxe is presented. I'll exchange my understanding with the way Wikipedia works for info on how Haxe works. If all goes well, Haxe coverage on Wikipedia should just as good and "glowing" as Haxe actually is. Good day. -- Wonderfl ^(reply) 04:45, 17 February 2013 (UTC)

Hey Wonderfl, thanks, I did consider contributing to Wikipedia, but I've had some negative experience, so I eventually decided to drop it. It's totally awesome you decided to help us. I gotta say your questions were exactly my questions when I started considering Haxe so long along so they mirror the perspective of a person beginning Haxe. I will take my time to answer the list about C++ this week since I have quite some experience there. I see someone else already answered about JavaScript. Of course this is merely a part of all potential Haxe questions a person might have. Documentation, tool support, community support etc. do also play a role. Perhaps it's better to summarize the answers to the existing questions yet, before moving to the other topics. It's quite important to know how Haxe operates with existing code. I'll give you a signal when I'm done editing. --TentorDa (talk) 18:20, 24 February 2013 (UTC)
