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 3.238.0.0/16 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 05:34, 21 January 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.

'''Blue Tongue Entertainment Pty, Ltd.''' was an Australian [[video game]] developer founded in 1995. It was acquired by [[THQ]] on 17 November 2004, and remained an internal development studio of THQ until its closure in August 2011. In addition to THQ, Blue Tongue had worked with the publishers [[Hasbro Interactive]] and [[Vivendi Universal Games]].

Blue Tongue originally provided web development services, and moved into video games in 1995 with their first release, ''[[AFL (video game series)#AFL Finals Fever|AFL Finals Fever]]''. It was released on 9 June 1996 and reached number 3 on the Australian software sales charts. Another game, ''Riding Star'', was their first international release. It was ported to multiple platforms, including the [[PlayStation (console)|PlayStation]] and the [[Game Boy]]. Blue Tongue developed the TOSHI [[game engine]] used internally for many of its projects.

In 2008, Blue Tongue finished ''[[de Blob]]'', its first original game since ''Riding Star'', for the [[Wii]] system. ''de Blob'' was met with critical acclaim from various gaming websites, including [[Official Nintendo Magazine]], which awarded the game a rating of 92% and a Gold Award, and [[IGN]].com, which awarded the game several Wii-specific awards in its 2008 video game awards, including Best Platform Game, Best Graphics Technology, and Best Use of Sound. In addition to the awards won, IGN also nominated ''de Blob'' for several other Wii-specific awards, including Best New IP, Best Original Score, Most Innovative Design, and Game of the Year.

In 2011, Blue Tongue was announced to be closed down under a restructuring and realignment plan by parent company, [[THQ]].<ref>((cite web|title=THQ Studio Australia and Blue Tongue Entertainment to close this week|url=http://www.tsumea.com/australasia/australia/news/100811/thq-studio-australia-and-blue-tongue-entertainment-to-close-this|access-date=10 August 2011|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111006102323/http://www.tsumea.com/australasia/australia/news/100811/thq-studio-australia-and-blue-tongue-entertainment-to-close-this|archive-date=6 October 2011|url-status=live))</ref>
