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. Ioeth (talk contribs friendly) 16:30, 21 October 2008 (UTC)

Request reason:
Upon reading the reasons for canyon-news being blocked and the blocking policy for Wikipedia, I now understand why I have been blocked. I am not the administrator of the canyon-news account, but retrieved the account information from its inside sources. My intentions were not to spam of any kind, but to help Canyon News. I am a new user to Wikipedia and did not read the necessary pages to understand exactly the rules and regulations. That was irresponsible on my part and I deeply apology. I take full responsibility for what I have done to Wikipedia and Canyon News. I ask that you please punish me and not them; they had nothing to do with what I have done. With the present understanding of how things must be, I admit that I was completely wrong for what I have done and promise to not repeat my actions again. I am here to be apart of community of Wikipedia and want to contribute to it in any way I can to prove that I am trustworthy. Again, I am sorry.
Decline reason:
This is not a punishment. Wikipedia account names must follow the policy at WP:USERNAME. A account cannot be created such that the name of the account is substantially similar to a real organization or business. Since the name of this account is non-compliant, it has been blocked. This is not a statement on you as a person, or on the organization named in this account. It is only a direct application of the rules, without prejudice. You are free to log out of this account and create a new one which DOES match our policies. — Jayron32.talk.contribs 21:54, 21 October 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.
