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 34.205.0.0/16 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 05:44, 30 September 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.

'''Aneityum''' (also known as '''Anatom''' or '''Keamu''') is the southernmost island of [[Vanuatu]], in the province of [[Tafea]].<ref>((cite web |title=Mystery Island Cruise & Aneityum Island |url=https://www.vanuatu.travel/en/cruise/port-of-calls/mystery-island |publisher=Vanuatu Travel |access-date=13 August 2018 |archive-date=14 August 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180814035940/https://www.vanuatu.travel/en/cruise/port-of-calls/mystery-island |url-status=dead ))</ref>

==Geography==
Aneityum is the southernmost island of Vanuatu (not counting the [[Matthew and Hunter Islands]], which are disputed with [[New Caledonia]], but considered by the people of Aneityum Island part of their custom ownership).

Its southeastern cape Nétchan Néganneaing is the southernmost point of land in Vanuatu, more southerly than the southern satellite islet [[Inyeug]]. The latter, however, is surrounded by [[Intao Reef]], that extends even further south, albeit submerged, thus being the southernmost feature of Vanuatu.

The island is ((convert|159.2|km²|1|abbr=on)) in size. It rises to an elevation of ((convert|852|m|0|abbr=in)) in Mount Inrerow Atamein.

The larger of its two villages is [[Anelcauhat]] (((a.k.a.)) Anelghowhat), on the south side.

==Population==
Aneityum had a population of 915 in 2009.<ref>[http://www.governmentofvanuatu.gov.vu/index.php/publicationdocuments/vanuatu-statistics 2009 Census Summary release final] ((webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131221233814/http://www.governmentofvanuatu.gov.vu/index.php/publicationdocuments/vanuatu-statistics |date=2013-12-21 )) - Government of Vanuatu</ref> This population is believed to have been between 9,000 and 20,000 prior to the arrival of the Europeans,<ref>((Cite book |last=John (Ed.) |first=Lynch |url=http://sealang.net/archives/pl/pdf/PL-507.pdf |title=A grammar of Anejom |date=2015 |publisher=Pacific Linguistics |others=CRCL, CRCL, Pacific Linguistics And/Or The Author(S) |isbn=978-0-85883-484-2 |pages=3 |language=en |doi=10.15144/pl-507))</ref> in [[1793]]. However, introduced diseases and [[blackbirding]] played a major role in Aneityum's massive depopulation, which left the island with fewer than 200 inhabitants in 1930.

The main language of Aneityum island is also called [[Aneityum language|Aneityum]], or ''Anejom̃'' in the local orthography.

== Traditional Chiefdoms ==
At the time of first contact with Europeans (around 1830) the island was subdivided into seven [[chiefdom]]s (((Lang|aty|nelcau))) that each were presided by a ((Lang|aty|natimarid)) (high chief) (clockwise, starting in Northwest:):
*Anau-Unse (Annaunse)
*Ijipdav (Epege)
*Anetcho (Aneitio)
*Anau-Unjai (Aname)
*Anumej-Anekro (Annuantchai)
*Umej (Umetch)
*Anelcauhat

The chiefdoms were further subdivided into more than 50 districts that were presided by minor chiefs (((Lang|aty|natimi alupas))). The power of the chiefs was mainly of ritual nature.<ref>Matthew Spriggs: ''Population in a Vegetable Kingdom. Aneityum Island (Vanuatu) at European Contact in 1830.'' Kapitel 14 in Patrick V. Kirch und Jean-Louis Rallou (Hrsg.): The Growth and Collapse of Pacific Island Societies. Archaeological and Demographic Perspectives. University of Hawai‘i Press, Honolulu 2007, S. 278–305.</ref>

==Transportation==
The island is served by [[Anatom Airport]], not on the main island itself, but on the tiny island to its south, [[Iñec]] (or Inyeug, also known as "Mystery Island"), across the main village, which has three weekly flights from [[Port Vila]] via [[Tanna (island)|Tanna]].
