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 35.171.0.0/16 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 05:20, 2 December 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.

'''Chester Valentine John Anderson''' (August 11, 1932 &ndash; April 11, 1991) was an American novelist, poet, and editor in the [[underground press]].

==Biography==
Raised in [[Florida]], he attended the [[University of Miami]] from 1952 to 1956, before becoming a [[beatnik]] coffee house poet in [[Greenwich Village]] and [[North Beach, San Francisco|San Francisco's North Beach]]. As a poet, he wrote under the name C.V.J. Anderson and edited the little magazines ''[[Beatitude (magazine)|Beatitude]]'' and ''Underhound''. In journalism, he specialized in [[rock and roll]]. In that area, he was a friend of [[Paul Williams (Crawdaddy! creator)|Paul Williams]] and edited ''[[Crawdaddy!]]'' for a few issues in 1968-1969.<ref>((cite web|url=https://rockcritics.com/2013/03/29/from-the-archives-paul-williams-2001/ |work=RockCritics.com|title=The Godfather of Rock Criticism: Paul Williams|interviewer1=Pat Thomas|interviewer2=Christoph Gurk |date=August 2001|quote=Pat Thomas: I guess you effectively "sold" ''Crawdaddy!'' to someone else?<br />Paul Williams: Well, in theory.... I sold it, but I never got paid. And I brought in my friend Chester Anderson to take over as editor, and he did another four or five issues after I left, and then the people who were bank-rolling it gave up or ran out of money.))</ref>

He also wrote [[science fiction]], because of [[Michael Kurland]] (the two of them having collaborated on ''Ten Years to Doomsday'' in 1964). Anderson's ''[[The Butterfly Kid]]'', published in 1967, is the first part of what is called the Greenwich Village Trilogy, with Kurland writing the second book (''[[The Unicorn Girl]]'') and the third volume (''[[The Probability Pad]]'') written by [[T.A. Waters]]. The novel was nominated for the 1968 [[Hugo Award for Best Novel]].<ref>((cite web |url=http://www.locusmag.com/SFAwards/Db/HugoNomList.html |title=The Locus Index to SF Awards: Hugo Nominees List |website=[[Locus (magazine)|Locus Magazine]] (Locusmag.com) |accessdate= February 28, 2015))</ref> ''The Butterfly Kid'', and Anderson's few other genre works are associated with [[New Wave (science fiction)|New Wave science fiction]].

He was also a gifted musician, playing two-part inventions with two [[Recorder (musical instrument)|recorders]] simultaneously, and playing duets with [[Laurence M. Janifer]] at the Cafe Rienzi.

He subsequently moved to [[San Francisco]] during the [[Summer of Love]]. Having bought a [[mimeograph]] with his second royalty check from ''The Butterfly Kid'',<ref>((cite web|url=http://www.diggers.org/comco/mss_banc.htm#Letter%20to%20Thurl |last=Anderson |first=Chester|title=Chester Anderson (1932- ) Papers (ca. 1963-1980): Letter To Thurl  |access-date= Mar 31, 2011|work=The Digger Archives))</ref> Anderson and Claude Hayward were the founders of the Communications Company (ComCo), the publishing arm of the anarchist guerrilla street theater group [[Diggers (theater)|The Diggers]].<ref>((cite web

</ref> Through ComCo, Anderson circulated a number of his own bitter broadside polemics in [[Haight-Ashbury]], including "Uncle Tim's Children," with its infamous, often-quoted line, "Rape is as common as bullshit on Haight Street."<ref>((Cite web|url=http://www.diggers.org/bibcit_fulltext_SQL.asp?bib2=33|title=Com/Co Biblio|website=diggers.org|access-date=2017-07-25))</ref> [[Joan Didion]] described the role Chester Anderson and ComCo played in Haight-Ashbury in her 1967 essay, "[[Slouching Towards Bethlehem]]."<ref>((cite news|last=Didion |first=Joan |url=https://www.saturdayeveningpost.com/2017/06/didion/ |title=Slouching Toward Bethelem |work=[[The Saturday Evening Post]] |date=September 23, 1967))</ref>

In 1968, Anderson co-founded [[Entwhistle Books]] with Paul Williams, [[David G. Hartwell]], and Joel Hack.<ref>((cite web|url=https://www.jamescumminsbookseller.com/images/upload/paul-williamsfinal.pdf |title=The Archive of Paul Williams|work=James Cummins Bookseller website|access-date=Dec 26, 2022))</ref> After his stint with ''Crawadaddy!'' Anderson was connected for a brief period with the underground newspaper ''[[Tuesday's Child (newspaper)|Tuesday's Child]]'' and with Peace Press, a small movement print shop in Los Angeles.

He published two works, both of them thinly disguised memoirs (one, ''Puppies'', published under the name "John Valentine," about sexual excess in the 1960s) with Entwhistle Books. (Several scenes in ''Puppies'' were set in the offices of ''Tuesday's Child'', where Anderson slept in a back room while putting out the paper and cruising the nearby [[Sunset Strip]].)

He lived for a number of years in [[Mendocino, California]], where he collaborated with local artist [[Charles Marchant Stevenson]] on their proto-[[graphic novel]] ''Fox & Hare: The Story of a Friday Evening'' (also published by Entwhistle Books). A number of science fiction and publishing personalities, including [[Norman Spinrad]] and [[Lou Stathis]], posed on location for the illustrations in this book, which attempted to recreate a particular evening in [[Greenwich Village]] in the 1960s.((cn|date=December 2022))

Anderson died in 1991 in [[Homer, Georgia]], where he was living with relatives, at age 58.<ref>((cite web |last1= |first1= |title=Chester Anderson - Social Networks and Archival Context |url=https://snaccooperative.org/ark:/99166/w65b35bh |website=snaccooperative.org |publisher= |access-date=27 November 2022 |language= |date=))</ref>
