I had a friend who's email address was (let's call her Jane) janedotcodotuk@aol.co.uk.
And in Nathan's case, Nathan and Nathanr was already taken.

That'd be a mouthful.
Anyways, I'm think and hoping that Alphax was kidding

I remember having an imposter with a weird unicode version of the first "N" in my username. In fact, it's my only imposter.
I think such usernames should be blocked too.

I think *your* username is innappropriate since you're spamming your URL in it.
Yeesh. Give him a break.
It's unobtrusive. It's a username, so it never appears in the main namespace. It's not a link, so it won't affect his site's pagerank.
And if you look at that site, _it's just a personal website,_ no different in kind from a Wikipedia user page.
On the spectrum from where co-opting Wikipedia for commercial gain is a ten and obnoxious self-promotion is a one, this is a zero. It's about as objectionable as using a username that happens to resemble one's email address. _______________________________________________ WikiEN-l mailing list WikiEN-l@Wikipedia.org To unsubscribe from this mailing list, visit: http://mail.wikipedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikien-l
