Your user page, User:Jamesfortune47, has been speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This was done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appeared to be advertising which only promoted or publicized someone or something. Promotional editing of any kind is not permitted, whether it be promotion of a person, company, product, group, service, belief, or anything else. This is a violation of our policies regarding acceptable use of user pages — user pages are intended for active editors of Wikipedia to communicate with one another as part of the process of creating encyclopedic content, and should not be mistaken for free webhosting resources or advertising space. Please read the guidelines on spam, the guidelines on user pages, and, especially, our FAQ for Organizations.
Please do not recreate the material without addressing these concerns, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If you think this page should not have been deleted for this reason, or you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator. 331dot (talk) 20:39, 26 March 2020 (UTC)

You should also read our conflict of interest guideline and be aware that promotional editing is not acceptable regardless of the username you choose. Additionally, if your contributions to Wikipedia form all or part of work for which you are, or expect to be, paid, you must disclose who is paying you to edit.
If your username does not represent a group, organization or website, you may appeal this username block by adding the text {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}} at the bottom of your talk page.
You may simply create a new account, but you may prefer to change your username to one that complies with our username policy, so that your past contributions are associated with your new username. If you would prefer to change your username, you may appeal this username block by adding the text
{{unblock-un|new username|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}} at the bottom of your talk page. Please note that you may only request a name that is not already in use, so please check here for a listing of already taken names.
Thank you. 331dot (talk) 20:40, 26 March 2020 (UTC)In this case, your username is James Fortune, but you state that you work for James Fortune. As such, you cannot use his name as your username(even if you represent him). Please follow the instructions above to propose a new username, or create a new account in a name unique to you(it does not have to be your real name). Once you do that, you will need to review conflict of interest and paid editing as you have some formal disclosures you must make and read about special policies that apply to editors with a conflict of interest. I think that you confused creating an article with creating an account; your user page is for introducing yourself to the Wikipedia community in the context of your Wikipedia use. It is not article space and not for creating articles. New users cannot directly create articles, and must use Articles for Creation. 331dot (talk) 20:43, 26 March 2020 (UTC)
