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 18.208.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) 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 01:01, 24 April 2026.

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.

=== Cheerleaders ===
[[File:IPL Match -- Dr. D Y Patil Stadium.jpg|thumb|Cheerleaders during a match between Mumbai Indians and Deccan Chargers at the D Y Patil stadium.]]
The IPL received criticism from a few politicians and feminists for bringing in foreign [[cheerleaders]], which was seen by many to not be in the traditional spirit of the game, as well as being against some Indian sensibilities.<ref>((cite web |url=http://in.news.yahoo.com/indiaabroad/20080424/r_t_ians_nl_general/tnl-ipl-cheergirls-face-ban-in-maharasht-b9e311f_1.html |title=IPL cheergirls face ban in Maharashtra |access-date=27 April 2008 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080429111216/http://in.news.yahoo.com/indiaabroad/20080424/r_t_ians_nl_general/tnl-ipl-cheergirls-face-ban-in-maharasht-b9e311f_1.html |archive-date=29 April 2008 |url-status=dead |df=dmy-all ))</ref> Two cheerleaders from London were asked to leave the ground at Mohali "because of the colour of their skin" by Wizcraft International Entertainment, which handled the team Kings XI Punjab. Ellesha Newton and Sherinne Anderson, both from London and of African ancestry were allegedly barred from entering the stadium by employees of Wizcraft International Entertainment on the pretext that "people don't like dark girls here".<ref>((cite news|url=http://www.telegraphindia.com/1080520/jsp/frontpage/story_9295090.jsp|title='Colour of skin' comes into play 'Dark' girls told to leave|work=The Telegraph|date=20 May 2008| access-date=20 May 2008|location=Calcutta, India|first=Poulomi|last=Banerjee| archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20080608033014/http://www.telegraphindia.com/1080520/jsp/frontpage/story_9295090.jsp| archive-date= 8 June 2008 | url-status= dead))</ref> Both girls alleged that an employee referred to them with the racial slur "[[nigger]]".<ref>((cite news|url=http://www.telegraphindia.com/1080523/jsp/frontpage/story_9309638.jsp|title=Cheerleaders called 'niggers' – Details of racial abuse at Mohali match out in the open|work=The Telegraph|date=21 May 2008|access-date=21 May 2008|location=Calcutta, India|first=Poulomi|last=Banerjee| archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20080526014941/http://www.telegraphindia.com/1080523/jsp/frontpage/story_9309638.jsp| archive-date= 26 May 2008 | url-status= dead))</ref>

The BCCI said a probe would be initiated by the IPL only if the two women officially complain to IPL commissioner Lalit Modi.

The BCCI and IPL officials later expressed surprised that the two cheerleaders did not complain about the alleged racist behaviour while they were in India and spoke about it only after they returned to London.

"We have not received any complaint from any cheerleaders that they were asked to leave by the Mohali-based Kings XI Punjab franchise recently because of the colour of their skin." BCCI joint secretary M. P. Pandove said in Mohali.<ref>((Cite web |url=http://www.gulfnews.com/sport/Cricket/10215758.html |title=Cheerleader claims racist slur at IPL match |access-date=25 June 2008 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080603132848/http://www.gulfnews.com/sport/Cricket/10215758.html |archive-date=3 June 2008 |url-status=dead |df=dmy-all ))</ref>

=== Sreesanth – Harbhajan Singh altercation ===
On 25 April 2008, following the [[Kings XI Punjab]]'s victory over the [[Mumbai Indians]] at [[Mohali]], Kings XI Punjab player [[Sreesanth]] was slapped under his eye by [[Harbhajan Singh]], the stand-in captain of Mumbai Indians. The incident came to light as Sreesanth was caught by TV cameras sobbing inconsolably on the field before the presentation ceremony. Sreesanth had since downplayed the incident saying he had no complaints against Singh who was "like an elder brother" to him. Singh's team had lost their third consecutive match, and he apparently reacted violently to Sreesanth's approaching him and reportedly saying "hard luck". The footage of the slap has not yet been released for public viewing. The BCCI launched an investigation into the incident and decided to ban Singh for the remaining 11 matches of his season.<ref>((cite news| title = Kings XI Punjab v Mumbai Indians| url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/ipl/engine/current/match/335991.html| publisher=ESPNcricinfo| date = 24 April 2008| access-date = 25 April 2008| archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20080428215751/http://www.espncricinfo.com/ipl/engine/current/match/335991.html| archive-date= 28 April 2008 | url-status= live))</ref><ref>((cite news| title = Bhajji slaps, Sree sobs | url=http://www.telegraphindia.com/1080426/jsp/frontpage/story_9191426.jsp|work = [[The Telegraph (Kolkata)|The Telegraph]]| date = 24 April 2008| access-date = 25 April 2008| location=Calcutta, India| archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20080429221046/http://www.telegraphindia.com/1080426/jsp/frontpage/story_9191426.jsp| archive-date= 29 April 2008 | url-status= dead))</ref><ref>((cite news| title = Bhajji 'slaps' Sreesanth, makes him cry | url = http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2008-04-26/india/27772459_1_s-sreesanth-punjab-team-indian-premier-league-encounter| archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20121021131923/http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2008-04-26/india/27772459_1_s-sreesanth-punjab-team-indian-premier-league-encounter| url-status = dead| archive-date = 21 October 2012| date = 24 April 2008| work = [[The Times of India]] | access-date = 25 April 2008))</ref><ref>((cite news| title = Match results – Indian Premier League, 2007/08 | url = http://www.espncricinfo.com/ipl/engine/series/313494.html| publisher=ESPNcricinfo| date = 24 April 2008| access-date = 25 April 2008| archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20080430105502/http://www.espncricinfo.com/ipl/engine/series/313494.html| archive-date= 30 April 2008 | url-status= live))</ref>
