User talk:Evviva~enwiki

Your account will be renamed

Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Evviva. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Evviva~enwiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name. If you think you might own all of the accounts with this name and this message is in error, please visit Special:MergeAccount to check and attach all of your accounts to prevent them from being renamed.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours,
Keegan Peterzell
Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation

@DoubleGrazing fyi, this is not editor who created/submitted the draft. The correct editor is User:Evviva but for some reason, the AfC script is picking Evviva~enwiki. See the discussion at User talk:Nahida#Christine Cockley where the same issue is occurring. S0091 (talk) 15:24, 8 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Noting log for User:Evviva log which has them registering 19:09, 5 May 2025. S0091 (talk) 15:31, 8 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Huh, that's weird. In both cases the old account was renamed to *~enwiki just over ten years ago. Is there something in the system that allows the name to be usurped after ten years have passed?

What am I even asking... I don't understand any of this anyway. I'll crawl back in my box. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 15:39, 8 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@DoubleGrazing lol, I don't quite get it either. Pinging @Cabayi who handles rename requests and might understand what is going on. Cabayi, in this example way back in 2015 User:Evviva was renamed to User:Evviva~enwiki but now we have a new editor who registered as User:Evviva a couple days ago (log). User:Nahida is a bit more complex as they registered as User:Alisosi then renamed to User:Nahida ([1]). Their AfC notices are going to User talk:Nahida~enwiki.

Ooh, some wiki-archaeology. Thanks S0091, it's before your time but DoubleGrazing has been around long enough to possibly remember. Here's my best attempt at reading the clues.

In the beginning user accounts were local to each project. Then there was a period starting around 2008 in which users could choose to unify their local accounts into a global account and optionally use a userbox {{User SUL Box}} to show that they had done so. Finally in 2015 duplicated (non-unified) account names were renamed by appending a suffix, ~enwiki, ~dewiki etc to the lesser used holders of the name.

Evviva was "created" on dewiki on 17 March 2015 as a local account, though their contributions on dewiki show that they were around in May 2014.
Evviva~enwiki was "created" on enwiki on 21 April 2015 as a local account, though the note from Keegan above shows this account existed prior to 19 March 2015. The account has never edited.

The dewiki Evviva, being older and having made some edits won the rights to the name in the username unification in 2015, and became the global account.

It seems quite probable that the dewiki user, curious about SUL through the notes left by Keegan, signed onto enwiki creating the enwiki user. Curiosity satisfied, they weren't bothered when the enwiki account got renamed to Evviva~enwiki the next day.

The current local enwiki Evviva user was created when the dewiki local user (the global user) came here for the first time a couple of days ago. Cabayi (talk) 21:31, 8 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Wow, that's really interesting, thanks @Cabayi!

And no chance I would have remembered, even if I had known that at the time, which I probably didn't. I can barely remember what I had for dinner last night. Wait, did I have dinner last night...? DoubleGrazing (talk) 05:39, 9 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: LXT AI (May 10)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Caleb Stanford was:

This submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia. Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed. This is important so that the article can meet Wikipedia's verifiability policy and the notability of the subject can be established. If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies.

The comment the reviewer left was:

The submission reads like an advertisement and does not have sufficient references to demonstrate notability.

If you would like to improve the article, please note the following. This is not a complete list of changes, this is the minimum that should be addressed to claim notability.

Please include citations to all content, including number of employees, number of languages etc. Please fix the reference format.

Please remove content that is promotional or non-encyclopedic in nature (this is at least half the current article.) Do not reword, just remove. Promotional example:

"LXT has published annual executive surveys on AI maturity among enterprises. Its 2023 and 2024 editions, titled "The Path to AI Maturity", provided insights into trends in AI investment, governance, and adoption across industries"

Also promotional:

"LXT provides data services used in the development and evaluation of artificial intelligence systems."

Also promotional, as it serves only to claim why the company is not important, not to provide coverage of the company as covered in independent, neutral sources: "Supervised machine learning systems rely on large volumes of annotated data to learn patterns, make predictions, and generate outputs. The quality, diversity, and quantity of this training data significantly influence a model’s performance, generalizability, and fairness" and the following sentences.

Also promotional: "workforce of over seven million contributors" What is a contributor and how does it differ from an employee?

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit after they have been resolved.
