You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:
This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 206.189.32.0/20 has been blocked by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~}}. You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 07:33, 6 August 2027. Your current IP address is 206.189.44.186.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

==[[James Underwood]]==
A tag has been placed on [[:James Underwood]], requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article seems to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable [[Wikipedia:Notability|(see the guidelines for notability here)]]. If you can indicate why the subject of this article is notable, you may contest the tagging. To do this, please write <code>{{tl|hangon}}</code> on the top of the page and leave a note on [[Talk:James Underwood|the article's talk page]] explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself.

Please read the [[WP:CSD|criteria for speedy deletion]] (specifically, articles #7) and [[Wikipedia:Notability (people)|our general biography criteria]].

Hi there, thanks for the message. I don't actually have any connection to CBC Bulawayo apart from being a Christian Brothers alumnus (from Australia), and involvement with CB ministries.

Thanks for uploading '''[[:Image:Cbcbyo.gif]]'''.

However, the image is currently [[WP:O|orphaned]], meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. [[WP:BOLD|You may add it back]] if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see [[Wikipedia:Fair use#Policy|our fair use policy]]).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "[[Special:Contributions/{{PAGENAME}}|my contributions]]" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box.

Hello Part, an automated process has found an image or media file tagged as nonfree media, such as [[Wikipedia:Fair use|fair use]].

The image that was replaced will not be automatically deleted, but it could be deleted at a later date. Articles using the same image should not be affected by my edits. I ask you to please not re-add the image to your userpage and could consider finding a replacement image licensed under either the [[Creative Commons]] or [[GFDL]] license or released to the [[public domain]]. Please note that it is possible that the image on your page is included vie a template or usebox. In that case, please find a free image for the template or userbox.

Hi, and welcome to [[WP:UNI|WikiProject Universities]]!  Our goals are to standardize the structure and content of all college and university articles, improve Wikipedia's coverage of these articles (hopefully propelling them to [[WP:FAR|featured article status]]), and serve as the central resource for all discussions and information related to colleges and universities on Wikipedia. 

A few features that you might find helpful:

* Our [[Template:WPUni sidebar|navigation box]] points to most of the useful pages within the project.
* The [[Template:Infobox University|university infobox]] is one way we hope to standardize our coverage of university articles. All university pages should have this infobox, and relevant fields should be filled in and sourced.
* Most important discussions take place on the project's [[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Universities|main discussion page]]; it is highly recommended that you [{{SERVER}}{{localurl:Wikipedia:WikiProject Universities|action=watch}} watchlist it].
* The project has a few expanding departments, which handle [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Universities/Assessment|article quality assessment]] and [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Universities/Outreach|member recruitment and project awareness]].
* We have a [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Universities/Student Affairs|Student Affairs task force]] that focuses on [[Student affairs]]-specific articles.
* We've developed a [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Universities#Structure|variety of guidelines]] for article structure and content, template use, categorization, and other issues that you may find useful.

If you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask one of the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Universities/Participants|project participants]] or post a question on the [[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Universities|talk page]]. We'll be happy to help you.  Again, welcome!  We look forward to seeing you around! <b>[[User:Noeticsage|<span style="color:black;">Noetic</span>]] [[User talk:Noeticsage|<span style="color:green;">Sage</span>]]</b> 13:18, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

==Disputed fair use rationale for Image:General and Systematic Pathology.jpg==
Thanks for uploading '''[[:Image:General and Systematic Pathology.jpg]]'''. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at [[Wikipedia:Non-free content]] carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at [[Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline]] is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our [[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion#Images/media|criteria for speedy deletion]]. If you have any questions please ask them at the [[Wikipedia:Media copyright questions|media copyright questions page]].

== Call for Wikipedians in Residence in Africa ==
Hello,

I hope you are well and thriving!! WikiAfrica has just put out a call for two Wikipedians in Residence. One in Cape Town at WikiAfrica, at the Africa Centre; and the other for WikiAfrica Cameroon in Douala, at doual’art. If you are interested, please contact either Marilyn [marilyn.doualabell{{@}}doualart.org] for the WikiAfrica Cameroon call or Isla [islahf{{@}}africacentre.net] for the WikiAfrica position in Cape Town. 

If you are not interested in applying, I would be very grateful if you could spread this call far and wide among your networks to ensure that both projects get excellent candidates. Here is the link for the information page: http://www.wikiafrica.net/two-wikipedians-in-residence-for-africa/

== WikiIndaba and Wikipedia movement in Africa ==

Dear Part

Mangwanani!! ... I have only just found your request about getting involved in Wiki Indaba and other Wikimedia projects. Wiki Indaba was the start of something bigger.  We are still looking for people to be involved in growing the movement. The ongoing conversation [https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/african-wikimedians will be held on this list], so please subscribe.


I have been very keen to find Wikipedians in Zimbabwe, and to start up stronger groups in Harare and/or Bulawayo, but have not managed to find anyone who is based there who can get involved. Are you based in Zim? Please feel free to contact me on my email for more details (isla [at] wikiafrica [dot] net) if you are keen to activate more people on the ground. If you want to get involved in the wider Open Movement in Africa, you can add your name to this list [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Aq9jD6_yC4M1dExxYzFLZE9LYXhOSU1FTkR3SXdPV2c&usp=sharing African Open Advocates List]; if you want to subscribe to WikiAfrica's mailing list, [http://africacentre.us1.list-manage.com/subscribe?u=f841effd2aefe5fbd31a96695&id=027679042d add your details here]

== Oral citations experiment - Namibia 2014==

Hello [[User:Pgallert|Pgallert]]! I noticed a conversation between you and [[User:Islahaddow|Isla Haddow]] just below my interaction with Isla. I'm very interested in attending and participating in this Participatory Design conference. Although I might not have in-depth expertise of Indigenous knowledge systems, I have been on Wikipedia for eight years - reasonably active (I'm sure you're well aware of the internet access issues in Southern Africa). By October, I would have come up to speed with Indigenous knowledge systems - already, I find your work engaging (I've seen your draft Chapter 1) and totally agree that more work must be done to reflect how other cultures transmit their knowledge. What can I do to participate? I know people in Namibia who might be able to offer me accommodation (allowing me to devote more funding to travelling - I will need funding I must mention). [[User:Part|Part]] ([[User talk:Part|talk]]) 12:56, 6 August 2014 (UTC)
:Dear {{u|Part}}, you probably already saw [[Wikipedia:Oral citations experiment]]. If you want to be considered you would have to pick a topic from the list at the bottom of that page and develop its content. The deadline has long passed, but if you can do that before or on August 10 I could still consider your application. Just let me know if you have further questions. Cheers, [[User:Pgallert|Pgallert]] ([[User talk:Pgallert#top|talk]]) 13:42, 8 August 2014 (UTC)
:: Thanks [[u|Pgallert]]. I have chosen hunting of the Mbanderu people. Despite my best efforts, I cannot find any information on this topic. The culture of the Mbanderu people seems to overlap with that of the e.g. Herero people, but there is still scant information with respect to hunting. [[User:Part|Part]] ([[User talk:Part|talk]]) 00:55, 9 August 2014 (UTC)
::: This is as much as I could find: '''"Using dogs and traps are the traditional methods of hunting. <ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.namibiana.de/de/at-the-edge-of-the-kalahari-historical-colour-photographs-of-tswana-chiefdoms-and-hereros-in-exile.htmlItemid=58|title=Historical Colour Photographs of Tswana Chiefdoms and Hereros in Exile|accessdate=2014-08-09}}</ref>."''' I could not make this into a distinct Hunting section because of limited information, so I put it under Culture. Hopefully this can be expanded with oral knowledge/citations. Please see [[Mbanderu people]].

[[File:Stop hand nuvola.svg|30px|left|alt=Stop icon]] Your recent editing history at [[:Philip Baker (obstetrician)]] shows that you are currently engaged in an [[Wikipedia:Edit warring|edit war]]. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you get reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the article's [[Wikipedia:Talk page guidelines|talk page]] to work toward making a version that represents [[Wikipedia:Consensus|consensus]] among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See [[Wikipedia:BOLD, revert, discuss cycle|BRD]] for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant [[Wikipedia:Noticeboards|noticeboard]] or seek [[Wikipedia:Dispute resolution|dispute resolution]].  In some cases, you may wish to request temporary [[Wikipedia:Protection policy|page protection]]. 

'''Being involved in an edit war can result in your being [[Wikipedia:Blocking policy|blocked from editing]]'''&mdash;especially if you violate the [[Wikipedia:Edit warring#The three-revert rule|three-revert rule]], which states that an editor must not perform more than three [[Help:Reverting|reverts]] on a single page within a 24-hour period.  Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert.  Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring&mdash;'''even if you don't violate the three-revert rule'''&mdash;should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.<!-- Template:uw-3rr -->

Also, read [[WP:AGF]] and [[WP:NOTVAND]].  Just because an IP makes an edit doesn't make it vandalism.  [[User:Ian.thomson|Ian.thomson]] ([[User talk:Ian.thomson|talk]]) 01:27, 14 October 2015 (UTC)

:::See [[User talk:Ian.thomson#User:part|my response on my talk page]].  In short: if your problem was just the date, you'd've only removed the word "July" instead of using it as an excuse to change other content and your latest edit to the page was a manual revert but still a revert.

{{unblock reviewed | 1=[[User:Ian.thomson|Ian.thomson]] I'm sure you can see how [[User:Nomoskedasticity|Nomoskedasticity]] deliberately reverted to a wrong date repeatedly and possibly even using a different IP, [[User:Nomoskedasticity|Nomoskedasticity]] was smart enough to avoid being blocked by apparently using a different IP. I have added balance to the article. In addition NPOV states ''representing fairly, proportionately, and, as far as possible, without bias, all of the significant views that have been ...'' The only part of the article with two references is the contentious issue. Is this then a proportionate representation of the subject? I see systematic bias creeping in and I think this is one of the major reasons Wikipedia is loosing editors by making it hard for inexperienced editors to navigate the complex rules, while experienced editors can apply technicalities and use IP addresses, etc. to mask their dishonest conduct and get away with it at the expense of loosing editors who might have something to contribute. [[User:Nomoskedasticity|Nomoskedasticity]]'s initial article was not a fair representation of the subject according to NPOV and was not factually accurate. I respectfully request you unblock me.

{{unblock reviewed | 1=The administrator writes "blocked Part ... with an expiry time of 24 hours (account creation blocked) (Edit warring: at Philip Baker (obstetrician), with claims of reverting vandalism to cover up content changes)" I did not claim vandalism, what occurred was real vandalism change to a wrong date and yes I also changed the content, but it still remained factually true and supported by the references.

:Regarding your research: So... you're [[WP:NOTHERE|here for reasons other than building an encyclopedia]]?  I've seen that claim on occasion in unblock requests, but that's all that ever happens with it.  Wikipedia as a whole generally isn't concerned about such research because it's invariably a bluff intended to [[Wikipedia:Guide_to_appealing_blocks#Do_not_make_legal_threats_and_do_not_resort_to_coercion|coerce us into complying, which we don't take kindly to]].  This is not how professional academic or journalistic research is conducted these days, so the furthest it could go is a blog that maybe a few friends read, some more click "like" for social purposes, maybe the next person claiming to do "research" cites as part of some claim that "admins are out to get us"... but the rest of the world largely remains unaware of.  When anthropologists go into the field, they attempt to fit in with the group how they can instead of disrupting the local customs for purposes of showing some supposed injustice within that community.  Now, if a member of ArbCom (i.e. some of the best editors we have) wrote something about systematic bias and revealed that they'd be gathering research for years to show that there's some network of admins out to get people, that'd have an effect outside of Wikipedia.
:As for "Ignore all rules": IAR applies to itself, [[Wikipedia:What_"Ignore_all_rules"_means#What_.22Ignore_all_rules.22_does_not_mean|it is not a trump card that lets whoever says it first win the argument]].  But let's say for a moment that we did apply WP:IAR to WP:3RR in this case.  We have multiple users who have reached a consensus on the talk page for why the material you added should not be included, for reasons based on long-standing, site-wide consensuses (i.e. policies and guidelines).  If we let everyone reverting, the article will mostly retain the form without your addition (IAR does not apply only to you).  Still, that's unnecessarily disruptive and a waste of everyone's time.  That's why it's easier to just enforce 3RR.  [[User:Ian.thomson|Ian.thomson]] ([[User talk:Ian.thomson|talk]]) 10:06, 2 June 2016 (UTC)

[[File:Information orange.svg|25px|alt=Information icon]] Hello! Thank you for your recent contributions to [[:Abdominal pregnancy]]. I did have one note for you. I am working on a maintenance project to clean up [[:Category:Pages using infoboxes with thumbnail images]]. In the future, please do not use thumbnails when adding images to an infobox (see [[WP:INFOBOXIMAGE]]). What does this mean? Well in the infobox, when you specify the image you wish to use, instead of doing it like this: 

{{para|image|{{var|<nowiki>[[File:SomeImage.jpg|thumb|Some image caption]]</nowiki>}}}}

Instead just supply the name of the image. So in this case you can simply do:

{{para|image|{{var|SomeImage.jpg}}}}. 

There will then be a separate parameter for the image caption such as {{para|caption|{{var|Some image caption}}}}. Please note that this is a generic form message I am leaving on your page because you recently added a thumbnail to an infobox. The specific parameters for the image and caption may be different for the infobox you are using! Please consult the Template page for the infobox being used to see better documentation. Thanks!!

S/he [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Nelson_Mandela&type=revision&diff=733384403&oldid=733384245 deleted] referenced scientific ancestry information and perhaps fails to recognise that Mandela came from a culture with predominantly [[Oral tradition|oral transmission]] of ancestry information precluding detailed written knowledge of his grandparents. Besides, the body of the article supports the information in the chart with solid [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nelson_Mandela#Early_life references]. Also [[User:Midnightblueowl|Midnightblueowl]] creates the impression I have not engaged in debate on the merits of such a chart. I have here [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:VarunFEB2003/Page_Archives/Archive_4 ancestry section] and the consensus was the chart was appropriate. I contend that [[systemic bias]] is at play. [[User:Part|Part]] ([[User talk:Part#top|talk]]) 09:55, 23 August 2016 (UTC)

::::Hmm.. that information was cited to an article in SouthAfrica.info, which doesn't look like a top quality source. If we had an article in a peer-reviewed journal discussing the same information (which may be the case) then I would be happy to include information on Mandela's genetic ancestry. Anyway, we already do have a section on [[Talk:Nelson Mandela]] devoted to this issue, so why not come discuss it there?
