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 54.163.0.0/16 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 17:28, 10 March 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.

'''Arba Sicula''' ([[Sicilian language|Sicilian]]: ''Sicilian Dawn'') is a not-for-profit international society whose main objective is the preservation and promotion of the [[Sicilian language]] and culture.<ref>((cite web|url=https://www.italianamericanstudies.net/cpages/links|title=Italian American Studies Association|access-date=31 Dec 2017))</ref> Its administration is located in [[Mineola, New York]]. The majority of members are also from the United States, although there are also members from [[Sicily]], [[Canada]] and other countries where Sicilian immigrants are found in large numbers. The society was founded in 1978.

Arba Sicula publishes two issues per year of its bilingual journal of the same name (although in recent years they have been combined into a single annual edition),<ref>((cite web|url=http://arbasicula.org/|title=Arba Sicula, Vol. 35|access-date=31 Dec 2017|quote=an edition of ''Arba Sicula'' from 2014))</ref> and the twice-yearly magazine ''Sicilia Parra'' (Sicilian for Sicily Talks).<ref>((cite web|url=http://arbasicula.org/|title=Sicilia Parra, Vol. 28|access-date=31 Dec 2017|quote=an edition of ''Sicilia Parra'' from 2016))</ref> Both publications are among the very few printed periodicals available in Sicilian. Both publications contain poetry, essays and news items about Sicily and the Siculo-American community. Arba Sicula also has a publishing arm, Legas,<ref>((cite web|url=http://www.legaspublishing.com/|title=Legas Publishing|access-date=31 Dec 2017))</ref>  which publishes many books on matters relating to Sicily and the Sicilian language (often bilingual, in English and Sicilian).

[[Gaetano Cipolla]] has been the president of Arba Sicula (and editor of the journal and magazine) for the last 18 years. He was also a professor of languages at [[St. John's University (New York City)|St. John's University]], New York for many years,<ref>((cite web|url=https://www.nytimes.com/1995/05/14/nyregion/neighborhood-report-bensonhurst-honors-for-poet-who-turns-life-into-verse.html/|title=NEIGHBORHOOD REPORT: BENSONHURST; Honors for a Poet Who Turns Life Into Verse in Bensinosti|access-date=31 Dec 2017|quote=An article in the New York Times which refers to both Prof. Cipolla and the work of Arba Sicula))</ref> having recently retired. He has written books on Sicilian culture and language and has translated some of the most important Sicilian poetry into English, including the verses of the celebrated poets: [[Giovanni Meli]] and [[Nino Martoglio]], along with the works of many modern poets and writers.<ref>((cite web|url=http://www.lavocedinewyork.com/mediterraneo/2015/12/20/il-bicentenario-di-giovanni-meli-e-lo-stato-della-lingua-siciliana/|title=Il bicentenario di Giovanni Meli e lo stato della lingua siciliana|access-date=31 Dec 2017|language=it))</ref><ref>((cite journal|title=Piero Carbone, The Poet Sings for All/Lu pueta canta pi tutti|journal=Forum Italicum: A Journal of Italian Studies|volume=50|issue=3|pages=1266–1268|quote=This is a review of one of Prof. Cipolla's most recent translations, but also makes mention of his work over the past 40 years.|doi=10.1177/0014585816678835|year = 2016|last1 = Pappalardo|first1 = Salvatore))</ref><ref>((cite web|url=http://arbasicula.org/|title=Catalogue of publications available through Arba Sicula|access-date=31 Dec 2017))</ref>

While dedicated mainly to the Sicilian diaspora in North America, the organisation is also recognised among the various cultural and political institutions of [[Sicily]] itself.<ref>Scianò, Giuseppe (2004) ''SICILIA, SICILIA, SICILIA!'', Edizione Anteprima, Palermo, p. 114: ''PER FORTUNA CHE C'È ARBA SICULA: Per associazione di idee, me viene in mente l'azione umana, culturale, "storica" e politica che l'Associazione Arba Sicula di New York ha portato avanti, inizialmente soltanto negli USA, per la difesa e per la tutela della lingua siciliana, quella vera, resa sacra dalle lacrime, dalla nostalgia, dall'amore, dalla volontà di lotta delgi Emigrati.  Dei protagonisti, cioè, della Diaspora Siciliana. Colgo quindi l'occasione per dire al Presidente Gaetano Ciopolla ed a tutti i Soci che siamo grati...''((in lang|it))</ref>
