This account has been blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia, because it has been identified as an account used for promotion of a company or group, with a username that implies that this has been done by that company or group. See Wikipedia:Business' FAQ and Wikipedia:Conflict of interest.

This kind of activity is considered spamming and is forbidden by Wikipedia policies. In addition, the use of a username like yours violates our username policy.

You may appeal this block by adding the text {{unblock|your reason here}} below or emailing the administrator who blocked you.

Your reason should include your response to this issue and a new username you wish to adopt that does not violate our username policy (specifically, understand that accounts are for individuals, not companies or groups, and that your username should reflect this). Usernames that have already been taken are listed here.

Under the conflict of interest guidelines, we all agree not to write about ourselves or our own busineses. Now that you know that you won't be writing about your organization, do you still want a Wikipedia account? What other kinds of edits do you think you'll be making in future? -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 22:24, 14 November 2008 (UTC)

Remove my account. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 63.85.223.54 (talk) 22:37, 14 November 2008 (UTC)

US Law prevents us from removing accounts, however with the account blocked, it cannot make any more edits. I trust this is adequate. Chase me ladies, I'm the Cavalry (talk) 23:40, 14 November 2008 (UTC)

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

Request reason:

I was unaware of the username policy regarding having the username the same as the entry. I wish to add an entry about Arizona Capitol Times for informational purposes only. Could you please change the username of my account to Tracy Keller?

Decline reason:

It appears from the above conversation that the user has withdrawn his request for unblock. Therefore I am declining his request as a housekeeping measure. — JodyB _talk 23:49, 14 November 2008 (UTC)

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.
