Your username
Welcome to Wikipedia. I saw that you edited or created Indian marathon, and I noticed that your username, "Indianmarathon", may not comply with our username policy. Please note that you may not use a username that represents the name of a company, group, organization, product, or website. Examples of usernames that are not allowed include "XYZ Company", "MyWidgetsUSA.com", and "Foobar Museum of Art". However, you are permitted to use a username that contains such a name if it identifies you personally, such as "Sara Smith at XYZ Company", "Mark at WidgetsUSA", or "FoobarFan87".

Please also note that Wikipedia does not allow accounts to be shared by multiple people, and that you may not advocate for or promote any company, group, organization, product, or website, regardless of your username. Please also read our paid editing policy and our conflict of interest guideline. If you are a single individual and are willing to contribute to Wikipedia in an unbiased manner, please request a change of username, by completing this form, choosing a username that complies with our username policy. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. Thank you. 331dot (talk) 09:38, 24 August 2017 (UTC)

 * No, I'm afraid you will have to start from scratch. If you have a conflict of interest, please go to Articles for creation for assistance. If not, then go to Teahouse for help. Deb (talk) 10:29, 24 August 2017 (UTC)


 * I would add that Wikipedia is not social media for you to tell the world about your event. This is an encyclopedia, which is more selective about its content.  Here, article subjects must be shown with independent reliable sources to be notable as Wikipedia defines it.  As you seem to represent the event you are writing about, I would strongly suggest that you go to Articles for Creation as Deb suggests- but you will need sources that are independent of your event(not written by you or the organization putting on the event) that indicate how it is significant in some way.  You should review the event notability guidelines, located at WP:NEVENT, to learn what is being looked for. 331dot (talk) 10:33, 24 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Aside from conflict of interest, if you are a paid representative of the event or organization, you are required by Wikipedia's Terms of Use to comply with the paid editing policy, which you can read at WP:PAID. 331dot (talk) 10:35, 24 August 2017 (UTC)
