User name
The account name you have chosen matches that of a notable person, Mark Pougatch. Please see WP:REALNAME for relevant advice. Thanks, Certes (talk) 21:22, 28 November 2022 (UTC)


 * Please be assured that while this individual may be my namesake, we are in no way related nor am I pretending to be this person. Hope this provides any needed clarity. Mark Pougatch (talk) 21:28, 28 November 2022 (UTC)
 * I'd be happy to change my username to avoid confusion. Let me know how I can do this, thank you. Mark Pougatch (talk) 21:31, 28 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the prompt reply. If you have the same name as a well-known person to whom you are unrelated, and are using your real name, you should state clearly on your userpage that you are unrelated to the well-known person.  Alternatively, if you prefer, you may request that your user name be changed as explained in Changing username, or simply make a clean start by registering a new account and stopping using this one.  However, there is no requirement to do either of those things; you are welcome to continue using your real name as long as you create a user page with a simple statement that you are not the broadcaster.
