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 44.201.0.0/16 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 23:54, 31 July 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.

'''Artois''' (((IPAc-en|ɑːr|ˈ|t|w|ɑː)) ((respell|ar|TWAH)), ((IPA-fr|aʁtwɑ|lang)); ((lang-nl|Artesië)); [[Picard language|Picard]]: ''Artoé;'' English adjective: ''Artesian'') is a region of [[Hauts-de-France |northern France]]. Its territory covers an area of about 4,000&nbsp;km<sup>2</sup> and it has a population of about one million. Its principal cities include [[Arras]] (Dutch: ''Atrecht''), [[Saint-Omer]], [[Lens, Pas-de-Calais |Lens]], and [[Béthune]]. It is the [[eponym]] for the term [[Artesian (disambiguation) | ''Artesian'']].

==Location==
Artois occupies the interior of the [[Pas-de-Calais]] ''département'',<ref name=Brit>"Artois" in ''[[Encyclopædia Britannica|The New Encyclopædia Britannica]]''. Chicago: [[Encyclopædia Britannica Inc.]], 15th ed., 1992, Vol. 1, p. 607.</ref> the western part of which constitutes the former [[Boulonnais (land area)|Boulonnais]]. Artois roughly corresponds to the [[arrondissements of France|arrondissement]]s of [[Arrondissement of Arras|Arras]], [[Arrondissement of Béthune|Béthune]], [[Arrondissement of Saint-Omer|Saint Omer]], and [[Arrondissement of Lens|Lens]], and the eastern part of the [[arrondissement of Montreuil]]. It occupies the western end of the [[coalfield]] which stretches eastward through the neighbouring [[Nord (département)|Nord]] ''département'' and across central [[Belgium]].

==History==
((main|History of Artois))
[[File:VlaanderenArtesie1477.png|200px|thumb|Location of the County of Artois in the 15th century]]

Originally a feudal county itself, Artois was annexed by the [[county of Flanders]]. It came to France in 1180 as a dowry of a Flemish princess, [[Isabelle of Hainaut]], and was again made a [[county of Artois|separate county]] in 1237 for [[Robert I, Count of Artois|Robert]], a grandson of Isabelle. Through inheritance, Artois came under the rule of the dukes of [[Duchy of Burgundy|Burgundy]] in 1384. At the death of the fourth duke, [[Charles the Bold]], Artois was inherited by the [[Habsburg]]s and passed to the dynasty's Spanish line. After the religious revolts of 1566 in the Netherlands, Artois briefly entered the [[Dutch Revolt]] in 1576, participating in the [[Pacification of Ghent]] until it formed the [[Union of Atrecht]] in 1579.

After the Union of Atrecht, Artois and [[County of Hainaut|Hainaut]] (Dutch: ''Henegouwen'') reached a separate agreement with [[Philip II of Spain|Philip II]]. Artois remained with the Spanish Netherlands until it was conquered by France during the [[Franco-Spanish War (1635-59)|Franco-Spanish War]]. The annexation was acknowledged during the [[Treaty of the Pyrenees]] in 1659, and it became a French province. Artois had already been largely French-speaking, but it was part of the [[Southern Netherlands]] until the French annexation.

Artois experienced rapid industrial development during the second half of the 19th century, fueled by its rich coal resources. During [[World War I]], the front line between the opposing [[Central Powers]] and [[Allies of World War I|Allied]] armies in France ran through the province, resulting in enormous physical damage. Since the second half of the 20th century, Artois has suffered along with nearby areas because of the decline of the coal industry.
