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 44.197.0.0/16 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 10:52, 20 August 2024.

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.

'''''Acorn User''''' magazine was founded by [[Acorn Computers]] in 1982, contract-published by Addison-Wesley, to coincide with the launch of the [[BBC Micro]]. It covered the range of Acorn home computers, the BBC Micro and [[Acorn Atom|Atom]] at first and later the [[Acorn Electron|Electron]], [[Acorn Archimedes|Archimedes]] and [[Risc PC]].

==History==
The first issue was dated July/August 1982. From the April 1984 issue, the magazine came under the control of Redwood Publishing, a company recently founded by Michael Potter (a former publisher at [[Haymarket Publishing]]), Christopher Ward (a former editor of the ''[[Daily Express]]'' and a non-executive director of Acorn) and [[Christopher Curry (businessman)|Chris Curry]] (one of the founders of Acorn).<ref>[http://www.magforum.com/magpubs2.htm UK Magazine publishers (Reader's Digest to Reed to Ziff-Davis) on Magforum.com<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref>
In 1989, the name changed to ''BBC Acorn User'', reflecting the fact that the commercial arm of the BBC, BBC Enterprises, took control of Redwood to expand its publishing activities. The magazine lost the BBC branding when it was sold to Europress, publisher of rival title ''[[Acorn Computing]]'', coinciding with its January 1994 issue.

The magazine later incorporated ''Acorn Computing'' and ''Archimedes World'' magazines. Even when compatible hardware was released by RiscStation, Castle, MicroDigital, and Advantage 6 the magazine continued with the Acorn name whilst covering the extended range of hardware.

In 2004 the magazine was acquired by Finnybank Ltd, which had previously purchased the [[RISC OS]] [[Acorn Publisher]] magazine: the two magazines were replaced by ''Qercus'', edited by John Cartmell.<ref name="Informationplc1995">((cite book|author1=CMP Information|author2=Miller Freeman Technical plc|title=Benn's Media|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=pT5pAAAAIAAJ|year=1995|publisher=Benn Business Information Services|page=248|isbn=9781904193661))</ref>
