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 34.203.0.0/16 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 00:10, 24 April 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.

'''Brinkley''' is the most populous city in [[Monroe County, Arkansas|Monroe County]], [[Arkansas]], United States. As of the [[2020 United States census|2020 census]], the population was 2,700,<ref name="Census 2020"/> down from 3,188 in [[2010 United States census|2010]].

Located within the [[Arkansas Delta]], Brinkley was founded as a railroad town in 1872. The city has historically been a transportation and agricultural center in the region, more recently developing a reputation for outdoors recreation and the [[ivory-billed woodpecker]]. [[Birding]] has become important to the city and region following the purported discovery of the ivory-billed woodpecker in 2004, a species thought to be extinct 60 years earlier.

Located halfway between [[Little Rock, Arkansas|Little Rock]] and [[Memphis, Tennessee|Memphis]], the city has used the slogan "We'll Meet You Half-Way" in some of its advertising campaigns.((Citation needed|date=June 2022))

==History==
In 1852, a land grant for the construction of rail lines was given to the Little Rock and Memphis Railroad Company, led by its president Robert Campbell Brinkley. Born in [[North Carolina]], Brinkley lived in Memphis, where he served a public career of "noble deeds and generous conduct" and for many years served as president of Planters Bank.
[[File:Rusher Hotel 001.jpg|left|thumb|[[Rusher Hotel]], the railroad hotel adjacent to the station]]
Between 1852 and 1869, the settlement was called "Lick Skillet".<ref name=gnis/> When the day's work was completed, the railroad construction crew, mostly all immigrants from neighboring towns, cooked their supper over an open fire and returned to their homes when the last "skillet was licked".

The construction of the rail lines between Little Rock and Memphis brought the city of Brinkley into being. Brinkley is situated in the northern part of Monroe County, the halfway point between the two larger cities. It was laid out in the winter of 1869 on lands belonging to the railroad.

A petition request was granted to incorporate Brinkley on August 6, 1872, at which time the town had 50 qualified voters. The original charter was filed with the Arkansas Secretary of State on August 21, 1872. The [[White and Black River Valley Railway#Cotton Plant Railroad|Cotton Plant Railroad]] (later called the [[White and Black River Valley Railway#Batesville and Brinkley Railroad|Batesville and Brinkley Railroad]] and the [[White and Black River Valley Railway]]) originated from the town in 1879, and the [[St. Louis Southwestern Railway|Texas and St. Louis Railway]] was built through Brinkley in 1883.<ref>((cite web|url= https://www.midcontinent.org/rollingstock/builders/brinkley.htm |title=Brinkley Car Works & Manufacturing Company|publisher=Mid-Continent|accessdate=October 6, 2022))</ref><ref>((cite web|url= https://encyclopediaofarkansas.net/entries/brinkley-monroe-county-941/ |title=Brinkley (Monroe County)|publisher=Encyclopedia of AQrkansas|accessdate=October 6, 2022))</ref><ref>((cite web|url=  https://books.google.com/books?id=F-tDAAAAIAAJ&q=WHITE+%26+BLACK+RIVER|title=White and Black River Valley Railway|year=1929 |publisher= Interstate Commerce Commission, January–March 1929, pp. 848-851; 1062-1066|accessdate=October 6, 2022))</ref>  

On March 8, 1909, much of the town was destroyed by a violent [[Fujita scale|F4]] [[tornado]], which resulted in 49 deaths. Entire families were lost to the tornado, and approximately 800 buildings in the community were destroyed. The tornado was 2/3 of a mile wide.<ref>On This Date https://www.alabamawx.com/?p=224586</ref>

[[Duck hunting]] is a major source of income for the city during the months of November, December and January. With many rice fields flooded for the winter, and being located on the [[Mississippi Flyway]], ducks are very prevalent throughout the region. Men and women from around the United States come to Brinkley for guided hunts throughout the season.

==Geography==
Brinkley is in northern Monroe County, ((convert|69|mi)) east of [[Little Rock, Arkansas|Little Rock]], the Arkansas capital, and ((convert|72|mi)) west-southwest of [[Memphis, Tennessee]]. U.S. Routes [[U.S. Route 70|70]] and [[U.S. Route 49|49]] join in the city as Main Street, with US 70 turning east on Cypress Street in the center of town. US 70 leads east-northeast ((convert|5|mi|0)) to [[Wheatley, Arkansas|Wheatley]] and west-southwest ((convert|14|mi)) to [[Biscoe, Arkansas|Biscoe]], while US 49 leads north-northeast ((convert|74|mi)) to [[Jonesboro, Arkansas|Jonesboro]] and  southeast ((convert|51|mi)) to [[Helena-West Helena, Arkansas|Helena-West Helena]]. The Brinkley city limits extend north along US 49 to its interchange with [[Interstate 40]], which connects Memphis and Little Rock.
 
According to the [[United States Census Bureau]], the city has a total area of ((convert|6.14|sqmi)), of which ((convert|5.69|sqmi)) are land and ((convert|0.46|sqmi|2)), or 7.41%, are water.<ref name="CenPopGazetteer2021"/>

===Tourism===
((Original research|date=June 2022))
Brinkley is located ((convert|10|mi|0)) east of the [[Cache River National Wildlife Refuge]], where in February 2004 the [[ivory-billed woodpecker]] was purportedly rediscovered after having thought to be extinct for over 60 years. Brinkley has attempted to capitalize on its good fortune of being the largest city near the refuge and the rediscovery of the woodpecker.

In addition to the ivory-billed sightings, since July 2005 at least two confirmed reports of [[bald eagle]] nests have been found in the Monroe County area. Further, the swamps of the [[Cache River (Arkansas)|Cache River]] are believed to contain among the oldest [[taxodium distichum|cypress]] trees in the United States.

Brinkley opened a convention center in 1996 which can seat up to 600 people; in February 2006 the center hosted a conference commemorating the second anniversary of the ivory-billed woodpecker's rediscovery.
