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 44.199.0.0/16 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 12:56, 12 May 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.

[[File:The Thinker by Bruce Shanks.jpg|thumb|"The Thinker", for which Shanks received the 1958 [[Pulitzer Prize for Editorial Cartooning]]]]
'''Bruce McKinley Shanks''' (January 29, 1908 – April 12, 1980)<ref name="death">''Florida Death Index, 1877-1998''</ref> was an American editorial cartoonist who worked for the ''[[Buffalo News|Buffalo Evening News]]'' during the middle of the 20th century. There he won the annual [[Pulitzer Prize for Editorial Cartooning]] for "The Thinker" (August 10, 1957), which showed "the dilemma of union membership when confronted by corrupt leaders in some labor unions".<ref>[http://pulitzer.org/bycat/Editorial-Cartooning "Editorial Cartooning"]. The Pulitzer Prizes. Retrieved 2013-11-17.</ref><ref name=Greenberg>((cite news |url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=1291&dat=19740524&id=18MPAAAAIBAJ&sjid=FI0DAAAAIBAJ&pg=5417 |title=Political Cartoon: art was in the blood |last=Greenberg |first=Herb |work=[[Boca Raton News]] |pages=1, 6 |date=May 25, 1974 |accessdate=February 29, 2016))</ref>

Shanks was born in [[Buffalo, New York]], the son of George Shanks, who owned a local sign painting business.  From 1924 to 1927, he attended [[Lafayette High School (Buffalo)|Lafayette High School]], where he was taught by art instructor Elizabeth Weiffenbach, who later (1936-1939) also influenced the style of science-fiction cover artist [[Kelly Freas]]. Shanks began his employment with the ''Buffalo Evening News'' as a copy boy.  His first cartoons appeared in the sports pages.

One character created by Shanks was Olaf Fub, a name derived from "Buffalo" spelled backward.  A drawing of Fub and the phrase, "Olaf Fub sez&nbsp;..." continued to introduce the commentary of ''Evening News'' writers on local events even well after Shanks' death.

Another character who appeared frequently in Shanks' editorial cartoons was [[John Q. Public]]. That name was created by [[Vaughn Shoemaker]], another editorial cartoonist, and is now a [[placeholder name]] in the United States. Shanks' cartoons were widely distributed by syndicators throughout the U.S. and the world at the height of his career, so he may have contributed to the establishment of the placeholder.

Beside the Pulitzer, Shanks won eight [[Freedoms Foundation]] awards<ref name=Greenberg/> and several Page One Awards from the [[American Newspaper Guild]].

During World War II, Shanks served in the U.S. Army from 1942 to 1945.<ref>''U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs BIRLS Death File, 1850-2010''</ref> He died in [[Palm Beach, Florida]] in 1980.<ref name="death"/>
