Your account has been blocked from editing Misplaced Pages because your username, Deep Foods, does not meet our username policy. Your username is the principal reason for the block. You are welcome to continue editing after you have selected a new username that meets the username policy guidelines, which are summarized below.Per the username policy, a username should represent an individual and should not: represent a group or organization; be promotional; be misleading (such as indicating possession of special user rights or being a "Bot" account (unless approved for such purposes)); be offensive or otherwise disruptive. However, a username that contains the name of a organization and also identifies you individually, such as "Sara Smith at XYZ Company", "Mark at WidgetsUSA", or "FoobarFan87" is allowed, though, among others, the guidance on conflict of interest and the policy of paid-contribution disclosure are relevant.You are encouraged to choose a new account name that meets our username policy guidelines and create the account yourself. Alternatively, if you wish for your existing contributions to carry over under a new name, then you may request a change in username by:
  1. Adding {{unblock-un|your new username here}} below. You should be able to do this even though you are blocked. If not, you may wish to contact the blocking administrator by clicking on "Email this user" from their talk page.
  2. At an administrator's discretion, you may be unblocked for 24 hours to file a change of name request.
  3. Please note that you may only request a name that is not already in use. Therefore, please check the list here to see if a name is taken prior to requesting a change of name.
Appeals: If, after reading the guide to appealing blocks you believe you were blocked in error, then you may appeal this block by adding {{unblock|Your reason here}} below this notice. Huon (talk) 23:21, 11 March 2021 (UTC)

Beyond the username issue, you also added links to your company's website in a way that can easily be construed as link spam. Please be cautious about giving the impression that you might want to promote the company. For editors with a conflict of interest it is considered best practice to not edit the article directly but to propose changes on the article's talk page and to leave it to an uninvolved editor to implement the change; you can add the code {{request edit}} (including the curly brackets) to such a talk page request to raise awareness.
A third issue is that you clearly edit on behalf of the company, and you need to explicitly disclose if you edit Misplaced Pages as part of your job. I appreciate that your username likely was meant to be such a disclosure, but it's not enough. Once you have chosen a new username (or had this account renamed), you can put the code {{paid|employer=Deep Foods}} on your user page to create a message box for the paid-editing disclosure.
