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 34.200.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪JJMC89‬ 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 05:16, 2 September 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.

'''Arthur McEvoy Delaney''' (9 December 1927 – 17 April 1987) was an [[England|English]] [[Painting|painter]] whose scenes of [[Manchester]] life were influenced by those of [[L. S. Lowry]], gaining some popularity since his death.

Delaney was born in 1927 in [[Chorlton upon Medlock]], [[Manchester]], [[Lancashire]]. He is alleged to be the illegitimate son of [[comedian]] [[Frank Randle]] (born Arthur Hughes). His mother, Genevieve Delaney (also known as Willis (born Kelshaw)) was a [[music hall]] artiste who appeared with her sister, Mary Monica Kelshaw (also known as Lee); their act was known as Delaney and Lee.

At 13 years of age, he joined a [[textile]] design studio in Manchester where he worked for the next 32 years. He married his childhood sweetheart, Joan Campion, in 1949 and they had four children. He started to paint as a means of relaxation. There were two great influences in his life that were to effect his own development as a painter. One was the work of L. S. Lowry and the other was the memories of the happy years he spent as a boy in the Manchester of the 1930s with its smoke-laden skies, rattling tramcars and gas lamps.

Lowry's work made him aware of the many special qualities of the north and soon he began producing street scenes and industrial landscapes. His paintings were not stylised but a true likeness to their location. He set out to capture the atmosphere of the 1930s and all of his paintings capture the nostalgia of the period.

In April 1974 he held a very successful one-man show at the Tib Lane Gallery in Manchester, with all the pictures selling within half an hour at the preview. His paintings continued to sell well during his lifetime and he exhibited at the [[Royal Academy]]. Many of his paintings were produced as limited-edition prints.

In 2010 a painting by Delaney, in the style of [[L.S. Lowry]], and painted as a homage to him, was auctioned after being seized by police from convicted fraudster Maurice Taylor.<ref name="partridge">((cite web|last1=Partridge|first1=Adam|title=Fake Lowry|url=http://www.adampartridge.co.uk/news/%A3330,000+Delaney+street+scene+now+valued+at+%A35,000-10,000+in+October+28+sale-41.php|archive-url=https://archive.today/20140924070940/http://www.adampartridge.co.uk/news/%A3330,000+Delaney+street+scene+now+valued+at+%A35,000-10,000+in+October+28+sale-41.php|url-status=dead|archive-date=24 September 2014|website=adampartridge.co.uk|publisher=Adam Partridge Auctioneers|accessdate=24 September 2014))</ref> Taylor had purchased the painting for £7,500 in 2004; a signature "L S Lowry, 1964" had been added, before the painting was sold for £330,000 to a specialist dealer in Lowrys. The painting, of a snowbound Mill Street, Manchester, had been given an insurance valuation of £600,000 by the auctioneers [[Bonhams]].<ref name="BBC">((cite web|title=Cheshire Lowry conman ordered to repay more than £1m|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-manchester-10882482|website=BBC News|publisher=British Broadcasting Corporation|accessdate=24 September 2014))</ref> The painting was said to lack fluidity, with muddy skies and with the lamp-posts wrongly highlighted in red.<ref name="partridge"/>

Delaney died aged 59 in 1987 at the [[Manchester Royal Infirmary]].
