Why use other accounts?

Hi. You are a very hardworking user and I think you have made good contributions over a long period of time. But I wonder why you've been contributing using multiple accounts. Do you have any reason to use multiple accounts? --Sotiale (talk) 11:45, 9 November 2021 (UTC)

@Sotiale: I am sorry for using multiple accounts. Actually I did it for two reasons. As a language lover, I used to learn different languages and contribute to different incubator projects. However, as I am afraid that using one account to edit multiple projects would be considered as abusing edits, so I used different accounts for different projects. In addition, the another reason is because of one of my friends. He was also an active contributor in a particular incubator project, at that time he was hoping that one day the project that he had been contributing would be approved. However, after long period of time, the project still haven't been approved and now he cannot continue to contribute for Wikimedia projects due to some reasons. As I have seen some projects have been facing similar situations, like the Batak Toba Wikipedia and Manchu Wikipedia, both of which has been active for a year still cannot get a reply for the approval, even about the script issue for the Manchu Wikipedia cannot get a reply for half a year, and it seems that some of the contributors felt disappointed and no longer contribute to the project anymore. I don't want the same thing happening again, which causes loss of a number of potential contributors, so I use multiple accounts for editing different projects that have the potential to get approval in order to get the attention of the language committee to consider this issue. Last but not least, thanks for your attention to me. I would try not using multiple accounts anymore, but I hope that the language committee would consider the approval of some projects in a more efficient way. I know that there are many busy things in reality, but speeding up replying rate and consideration of approval of incubator projects are really beneficial to those enthusiastic contributors, as well as the entire Wikimedia community. --Bosco1122 (talk) 05:47, 21 November 2021 (UTC)

I'm asking about your multiple account, which is used on yuewiki and several smaller wikis in addition to the one used on incubatorwiki. I wonder why you used your account the same way on yuewiki or several smaller wikis. --Sotiale (talk) 12:20, 21 November 2021 (UTC)
