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 44.195.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ 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 or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation 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 colocation provider'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 colocation 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 or colocation provider (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 or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests 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 09:46, 11 January 2025.

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.

==Events==
* 1826 – [[Nicéphore Niépce]] takes the oldest known extant photograph, ''[[View from the Window at Le Gras]]''.
* 1833 – [[Joseph Plateau]] (Belgium) introduces a scientific demonstration device that creates an [[optical illusion]] of movement by mounting drawings on the face of a slotted, spinning disk, later published as the Fantascope (and now better known as the [[Phenakistoscope]]). [[Simon von Stampfer]] ([[Vienna]]) publishes the very similar [[stroboscope|stroboscopic discs]] a few months later.
* 1866 – The [[Zoetrope]] is introduced. The device was a hollow drum with a strip of pictures around its inner surface. When the drum was spun and the pictures viewed through slots on the side of the drum, the pictures appeared to move.
* 1870s – French inventor [[Charles-Émile Reynaud]] improved on the [[Zoetrope]] idea by placing mirrors at the center of the drum. He called his invention the [[Praxinoscope]]. Reynaud developed other versions of the Praxinoscope too, including a Praxinoscope Theatre, where the device was enclosed in a viewing box, and the Projecting Praxinoscope. Eventually he created the "[[Théâtre Optique]]", a large machine based on the Praxinoscope, but able to project longer animated strips.
* 1874 – ''[[Passage de Vénus]]'' is recorded as a series of still pictures on a disc with [[Jules Janssen]]'s [[photographic revolver]].
* 1878 – Railroad tycoon [[Leland Stanford]] hires British photographer [[Eadweard Muybridge]] to settle arguments about the strides of horses that were difficult to discern with the naked eye. Muybridge [[The Horse in Motion|successfully photographed]] successive  positions of horses in fast motion, using a battery of 12 cameras controlled by trip wires and an electrical shutter system. Stanford's experiments were partly inspired by French scientist's [[Étienne-Jules Marey]] studies with equipment that graphically recorded data to analyze animal and human movement. 
* 1880 – [[Eadweard Muybridge]] holds a public demonstration of his [[Zoopraxiscope]], a [[magic lantern]] provided with a rotating disc with artist's renderings of Muybridge's chronophotographic sequences. It was used as a demonstration device by Muybridge in his illustrated lecture (the original preserved in the Museum of [[Kingston upon Thames]] in England).
* 1882 – American inventor [[George Eastman]] begins experimenting with new types of [[photographic film]], with his employee, [[William Walker (assistant)|William Walker]].
* 1882 – French physiologist [[Étienne-Jules Marey]] develops his own version of Janssen's camera: a [[chronophotographic gun]] that could photograph twelve successive images per second.

* 1888 – [[George Eastman]] files for a patent for his [[photographic film]].

* 1891 – Designed around the work of Anschutz, Muybridge, Marey, and Eastman, [[Thomas Edison]]'s employee [[William K. L. Dickson]] finishes work on a motion-picture camera, called the [[Kinetograph]], and a viewing machine, called the [[Kinetoscope]].
* May 20, 1891 – [[Thomas Edison]] holds the first public presentation of his [[Kinetoscope]] for the [[National Federation of Women's Clubs]].
* August 24, 1891 – [[Thomas Edison]] files for a patent of the [[Kinetoscope]].
* 1892 – [[Charles-Émile Reynaud]] begins public screenings in [[Paris]] at the [[Théâtre Optique]], with hundreds of drawings on a reel that he wound through his Praxinoscope projector to construct moving image stories that continued for about 15 minutes each.
* March 14, 1893 – [[Thomas Edison]] is granted Patent #493,426 for "An Apparatus for Exhibiting Photographs of Moving Objects" (the [[Kinetoscope]]).
* 1893 – [[Thomas Edison]] builds a motion-picture studio, dubbed the "[[Edison's Black Maria|Black Maria]]" by his staff.
* May 9, 1893 – In America, [[Thomas Edison]] holds the first public exhibition of films shot using his [[Kinetograph]] at the [[Edison's Black Maria|Brooklyn Institute]]. Only one person at a time could use his viewing machine, the [[Kinetoscope]].
* January 7, 1894 – Dickson and [[William Heise]] film "[[Fred Ott's Sneeze]]" with the [[Kinetoscope]] at "[[Edison's Black Maria]]".
