Welcome

Welcome Aquilapolonica1!

I'm Scope creep, one of the other editors here, and I hope you decide to stay and help contribute to this amazing repository of knowledge.

Alternatively, leave me a message at my talk page or type {{helpme}} here on your talk page and someone will try to help.

To get some practice editing you can use a sandbox. You can create your own personal sandbox for use any time. It's perfect for working on bigger projects. Then for easy access in the future, you can put {{My sandbox}} on your user page. By the way, seeing as you haven't created a user page yet, simply click here to start it.

Please remember to:

• Always sign your posts on talk pages. You can do this either by clicking on the button on the edit toolbar or by typing four tildes ~~~~ at the end of your post. This will automatically insert your signature, a link to your talk page, and a timestamp.
• Leave descriptive edit summaries for your edits. Doing so helps other editors understand what changes you have made and why you made them.

Welcome!

Hello, Aquilapolonica1, and welcome to Misplaced Pages! Thank you for your contributions.

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited was The Auschwitz Volunteer: Beyond Bravery, which appears to be dealing with a topic with which you may have a conflict of interest. In other words, you may find it difficult to write about that topic in a neutral and objective way, because you are, work for, or represent, the subject of that article. Your recent contributions may have already been undone for this very reason.

To reduce the chances of your contributions being undone, you might like to draft your revised article before submission, and then ask me or another editor to proofread it. See our help page on userspace drafts for more details. If the page you created has already been deleted from Misplaced Pages, but you want to save the content from it to use for that draft, don't hesitate to ask anyone from this list and they will copy it to your user page.

One rule we do have in connection with conflicts of interest is that accounts used by more than one person will unfortunately be blocked from editing. Misplaced Pages generally does not allow editors to have usernames which imply that the account belongs to a company or corporation. If you have a username like this, you should request a change of username or create a new account. (A name that identifies the user as an individual within a given organization may be OK.)

In addition, if you receive, or expect to receive, compensation for any contribution you make, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation to comply with our terms of use and our policy on paid editing.

Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

• Best practices for editors with close associations
• Plain and simple conflict of interest guide
• The five pillars of Misplaced Pages
• Contributing to Misplaced Pages
• Tutorial
• How to edit a page and How to develop articles
• How to create your first article (using the Article Wizard if you wish)
• Simplified Manual of Style

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your messages on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically insert your username and the date. If you need help, check out Misplaced Pages:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place {{Help me}} before the question. Again, welcome! _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 03:06, 11 March 2021 (UTC)

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

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.

Request reason:

Hello Misplaced Pages, I see there is some confusion about my account so I would like to clear that up. I am an incredibly casual editor, so I’m sorry if I didn’t read up on all the proper protocols when I created this account. I also don’t know if it’s normal, but I didn’t receive any notifications on my Misplaced Pages account about the investigation until I had been blocked!

While working at Aquila Polonica Publishing I found some incorrect info while using a Misplaced Pages page for reference. Since it was such a niche subject, I made an account to correct it. I interacted with an editor there and we made the changes successfully. When I did this, I did not understand shared accounts were not allowed.

Later a coworker of mine wanted to make a few changes to another Misplaced Pages page. Since I had vaguely associated this account with Aquila Polonica Publishing and the changes seemed simple enough, I thought it would be ok to share the account with my coworker so they could make the changes. We were informed that it is inappropriate to share Misplaced Pages accounts, and when that occurred I promptly logged for a username change that followed Misplaced Pages’s standards. My coworker still wanted a Misplaced Pages account for their own personal use, so they registered as a separate user.

While I am not much of an editor, I do use Misplaced Pages a lot as a reader, especially of Polish history. When I read the arbitration page, I decided to make a post because it seems like it could deeply impact my ability to read. I would also like to point out that while tataqp and I fall on the same “side” on the arbitration, we have some different views on the matter.

Anyways, I am sorry for the misunderstanding here but I can assure you that tataqp and I are two different people that do work together, yet both want to interact on Misplaced Pages as individuals with different opinions. I hope the admins can understand this situation, and I would be happy to explain anything else about this. AK at Aquila Polonica Publishing (talk) 20:12, 29 March 2021 (UTC)

Decline reason:

Procedural decline only as this block expired some time ago.Jezebel's Ponyo 19:23, 20 April 2021 (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.

• Non-admin comment. User:SubjectiveNotability/User:GeneralNotability, the blocking admin, noted on their talk page that "I have no objection to another administrator unblocking them if they accept the explanations offered by the two editors.". Interested editors, including "AK at Aquila Polonica Publishing", are welcome to read the entire discussion at User_talk:GeneralNotability#Question for context and some thoughts on best practices. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 02:42, 31 March 2021 (UTC)

Request

Can you please expand on how you found the arbitration page to begin with? Were you contacted by e-mail about this page? A forthright and honest response will go a long way in building trust here.--Bob not snob (talk) 08:26, 30 March 2021 (UTC)

Okay Bob not snob. Let's get a shot at building some trust here and continue this . Did you have any other accounts on Misplaced Pages before Bob not Snob? - GizzyCatBella🍁 13:13, 30 March 2021 (UTC)

GizzyCatBella, please take the side discussion about Bob not snob elsewhere. _{a GN franchise} (talk to the boss) 17:27, 30 March 2021 (UTC)

Hello Bob not snob. If an admin requests it, I would do my best to remember how I found the Arbitration page. AK at Aquila Polonica Publishing (talk) 16:03, 30 March 2021 (UTC)

I asked a CheckUser to check if e-mails were sent.--Bob not snob (talk) 19:00, 30 March 2021 (UTC)

Ok, I am happy to help with anything, as long as I feel it is useful to this investigation Bob not snob. While I have your attention here, I want to take the opportunity to briefly clear up a misunderstanding I've spotted (I can't currently post on talk pages anyways). As per my username, I am associated with Aquila Polonica Publishing. I think I've seen you express that we might be something of a vanity press, but I assure you we are not. By the definitions on Misplaced Pages, we are small but definitely don't fall into that category. We do not receive payment from our authors, take lots of time to ensure manuscripts are up to our standards, and distribute copies to retailers like Barnes & Noble and Amazon. If we were a vanity press, we would have a lot more titles in our catalogue ^^;. I hope that clears something up. AK at Aquila Polonica Publishing (talk) 19:39, 30 March 2021 (UTC)
