UUID generator: why only uuidgen.org allowed?
While this generator is recommended by ITU-T, I don't see uuidgen.org being recommended by any authorities (ITU-T, ISO, IETF). Only thing in that website is "@Accelery", which is a twitter account with only one tweet: "Online UUID generators seem stuck in the past, so we made a new one." That's it, no more information is given. Very flimsy. How can we trust that? How superior is that from the one recommended by ITU-T? Any users of that tool can comment? There was a comment <!--Do not add any more GUID generator web sites; they will be removed. which discouraged editors to add alternative UUID generators. That's advertising, in my opinion. Therefore I removed it and replaced by the ITU-T one. Feelthhis (talk) 04:00, 19 December 2020 (UTC)

When Microsoft started using UUIDs
To help fill in the history for when Microsoft started using UUIDs (the "when" question is flagged in the article), I have a bit of information that might help someone search for the answer.
I attended a Microsoft conference at the Redmond campus in 1995 where a presenter gave information about UUIDs, how they are essentially unique, and that Microsoft was going to be using them.
That's not enough to put into the article, obviously, but maybe it'll help give a timeline if someone is researching this. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Chris uvic (talk • contribs) 18:20, 30 June 2021 (UTC)
