{{User:Short Circuit/new user greeting}} 

I noticed you have the same username as the language you maintain. That's fine! I allow and endorse language advocacy, as long as it comes in the form of source code. (I'll usually stay out of things and let the people who know what they're talking about discuss it. On the other hand, if the debate devolves into the realm of vitriol, I have to step in to mediate or cool things down.)

I also left a note on the [[:Category talk:Objeck|Objeck talk page]]; if you're planning on specifically maintaining a role managing Objeck's presence on the site, you might want to add those category and talk pages to your Watchlist, so you can keep apprised of what's going on. Also, I've occasionally seen young and old languages alike show up on the site, discover difficulties where their designers didn't expect them, and evolve and improve to counter. I look forward to watching Objeck's experiences on the site.

Again, welcome! --[[User:Short Circuit|Michael Mol]] 03:35, 17 May 2010 (UTC)

== Language tag ==

Hello, I've seen you changed the language tag for some Objeck examples to <code>cpp</code>. While this may look better in the short run it's not a very good idea here as it will try highlighting your source as C++, obviously. This may conflict with the Object syntax (don't know exactly but one might never know) and it will also not highlight keywords your language has but C++ doesn't, such as <code>bundle</code>, <code>native</code>, etc. Arguably it ''does'' look nicer than without highlighting at all, but that's only until someone creates syntax highlighting for Objeck. For a start you could use [http://rosettacode.org/geshi/ AutoGeSHi] to create such a file and get it included. Here on Rosetta Code it's actually preferred to have each language example use its own language tag to ensure that (a) all examples have a defined language (as opposed to just use <code>&lt;pre></code> where syntax highlighting is unavailable) and (b) highlighting can be added by just providing the GeSHi language file instead of also going through every task in that language and replace the previously-used language tag. —[[User:Hypftier|Johannes Rössel]] 03:25, 1 July 2010 (UTC)

== Intrawiki links ==

Take a look at [http://rosettacode.org/mw/index.php?title=Category:Objeck&diff=85707&oldid=prev this diff]; typically, you want to use wiki links instead of full offsite-capable links. --[[User:Short Circuit|Michael Mol]] 18:29, 13 July 2010 (UTC)

== Blanked category ==

Hello!

I saw that you blanked the page "Category:Objeck examples needing attention". Every language has such a page. The purpose of the page is to ''automatically'' show examples that have been marked with the "incorrect" template by someone (very useful).

So the category should never be changed manually. The "UnderBot" program will automatically restore the category, so no harm was done.

== Nothing personal ==
Hi, just thought I'd give you a buzz to explain that although I noted that an example you wrote was incomplete; It's just me checking for consistency in some tasks and I definitely don't want to upset you - some people check RC examples for conformance with the task description is all. (After a while, I found that regular contributors such as yourself get better at it and start to show issues with the tasks themselves which is great). --[[User:Paddy3118|Paddy3118]] 07:46, 21 January 2013 (UTC)
