Hello Aquilapolonica1. Welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your contributions!

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  here on your talk page and someone will try to help. To get some practice editing you can use a sandbox. You can [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Mypage/sandbox&action=edit&preload=Template:User_Sandbox/preload 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  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: The best way to learn about something is to experience it. Explore, learn, contribute, and don't forget to have some fun!
 * Always sign your posts on talk pages. You can do this either by clicking on the OOUI JS signature icon LTR.png 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 Wikipedia!&#32;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.&#32;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 Wikipedia, 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. Wikipedia 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 Wikipedia
 * Contributing to Wikipedia
 * 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 Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place  before the question. Again, welcome!

Welcome to Wikipedia. Because we have a policy against usernames which give the impression that the account represents a group, organization or website, I have blocked this account; please take a moment to create a new account with a username that represents only yourself as an individual and which complies with our username policy or request a change of username. It also appears that your account is intended to be used for the purpose of telling the world about an organization, person or cause that you consider worthwhile. Unfortunately, many good causes are not sufficiently notable for their own Wikipedia article, and all users are discouraged from editing in any area where they have an inherent conflict of interest. You may wish to consider one of these alternative outlets. While user names that are the names of organizations are not permitted, you are permitted to use a username that contains the name of a company or organization if it identifies you individually, such as "Sara Smith at XYZ Foundation", "Mark at WidgetsUSA", or "FoobarFan87". 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. Please also note that you are permitted to use a username that contains the name of a company or organization if it identifies you individually, such as "Sara Smith at XYZ Company", "Mark at WidgetsUSA", or "FoobarFan87". If your username does not represent a group, organization or website, you may appeal this username block by adding the text 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. Thank you. — Wug·a·po·des​ 04:44, 11 March 2021 (UTC)

Blocked for sockpuppetry
 You have been blocked temporarily from editing for abusing multiple accounts&#32;per the evidence presented at Sockpuppet investigations/AK at Aquila Polonica Publishing. Note that multiple accounts are allowed, but not for illegitimate reasons, and any contributions made while evading blocks or bans may be reverted or deleted. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page:.

 * 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 for context and some thoughts on best practices. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; 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 Wikipedia before Bob not Snob? - GizzyCatBella  🍁  13:13, 30 March 2021 (UTC)
 * , please take the side discussion about Bob not snob elsewhere. SubjectiveNotability  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 Wikipedia, 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)
