Verification Help & Guidance

Hi everyone,

中国人的姓只有一个字，无法填入 GitHub billing information，提示过短，真tm离谱，用英文就不符合“exactly as it appears in”，另外我的照片明明有我的姓名，非得说：

Please ensure that your academic affiliation document contains your last name exactly as it appears in your GitHub billing information. If you have only a single legal name, enter it in both the first and last name fields of your GitHub billing information.
Please ensure that your academic affiliation document contains your first name exactly as it appears in your GitHub billing information. Variations of your name and nicknames are unacceptable.
You are unlikely to be verified until you have completed your GitHub user profile with your full name exactly as it appears in your academic affiliation document. Please do not use a variation of your name or a nickname. Once you have updated your profile information log out and log back into GitHub before re-applying.

另外没有学生卡拿，电子课表认证一直失败，一直是名字相关问题。我现在每次拍照都要绞尽脑汁用一台不习惯的设备的摄像头，你们 github 禁用了截图的目的是什么？名字明明很清楚地写在了上面，能否找个认识中文的来审核？

Chinese surnames only have one character and cannot be filled in GitHub billing information. (It told me that my last name is too short.) I tried using the English translation but not "exactly as it appears in". Also, my photo clearly shows my name, but you say:

Please ensure that your academic affiliation document contains your first name exactly as it appears in your GitHub billing information. Variations of your name and nicknames are unacceptable.

In addition, some school have no student card available, and the electronic timetable authentication has been failing due to name related issues. I have to rack my brain every time I take photos using a camera from an unfamiliar device, what is the purpose of disabling screenshots on GitHub? The name is clearly written on it, can you find someone who knows Chinese to judge it?
