**Rosguill, in answer to your question, the edits I anticipate would be to correct factual errors, and contribute information where I have pertinent facts. In this connection, I'd like to explain how I got here because whatever faux pas I've made in Wikipedia practice were inadvertent. We received Google Alerts on March 8 and 9 linking to Wikipedia about one of our books (The Auschwitz Volunteer, by Captain Witold Pilecki). When I read the pages, I noticed two factual errors: the book was described as a diary and it said that Pilecki was in Auschwitz for about four years. The book was not a diary (which implies that it was written during his time at Auschwitz), but his most comprehensive report of more than 100 typed single-spaced foolscap (long format) pages about his Auschwitz mission which he wrote more than two years after he had escaped from Auschwitz, and just before he embarked on another undercover mission (he had written two much shorter reports on his time in Auschwitz -- I believe they were about 11 and 20 pages respectively -- shortly after his escape, in addition to all the intelligence he had smuggled out during his time in Auschwitz); and he was in Auschwitz for two years and seven months, not four years. I wanted to correct these errors, and knew that a coworker had successfully corrected an error in an unrelated article on WWII German codes so I asked for his log in -- not realizing that two people are not supposed to use one account. I made the corrections and expanded on the article, but when we checked back a few days later, they had been removed and my coworker's account blocked until he changed the name. Trying to figure out how to proceed, I started my own account and began clicking through some references and links, one of which led me to the arbitration page where it appeared that folks were basically providing their opinions, so since I felt I had a different perspective I offered my opinion as well. I also noticed on at least one of the pages I ran across that one writer was making disparaging remarks about our company in an apparent attempt to discredit us and our books -- as I recall, it was the same person who made the untrue sockpuppet allegation which led to this block on my account, although because my account is blocked I can't find that page right now. I would like to respond to his remarks about us, but am not sure where the best place is to do that. We are a small independent publisher, not a vanity press as he wrongly describes us, and we are certainly reputable. I would be happy to go into more detail, or answer any additional questions you might have.

Request reason:
Tataqp and AK at Aquila Polonica Publishing are the accounts of two separate people, although we both work at the same company. Being new to Wikipedia commenting/editing, we apologize for not being aware of various rules and administrative procedures which, in our experience over the past couple of weeks as Wikipedia neophytes, seem overwhelming and somewhat bewildering. Initially, we did not know that two people could not use the same account. We now each have our own account — and there did not appear to be any prohibition against two people from the same company commenting/editing (see “Usernames implying shared use” at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Username_policy#Real_names There was never any intent to deceive, so I hope you will take into consideration our newness with the commenting/editing process. Please let me know if you need additional information. Thank you.
