> The following types of usernames are not permitted because they are considered promotional:

> Usernames that unambiguously consist of a name of a company, group, institution or product

> Email addresses and URLs (such as "Alice@example.com" and "Example.com").

The link does direct to my github page, but it is neither a product/company, nor an email address/URL.


 * I think another user might have mistakenly thought you were representing a pub. No worries. --Drm310 (talk) 19:06, 24 April 2013 (UTC)

I have a theory that the .pub was ringing a 'domain name' alarm bell. Anyway we hope the username warning did not make you feel unwelcome, We try not to do that and have the 'do not bite the newcomers' rule to help that out.
