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 35.175.0.0/16 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 March 2025.

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.

The '''coat of arms of the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham''' was granted to the then London Borough of Hammersmith on 1 March 1965, but the motto changed languages in 1969. The subsequent change of names to [[London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham|Hammersmith and Fulham]] on 1 January 1980 did not affect the [[coat of arms|arms]].

The wavy lines in the main field of the shield are taken from the coat of arms of the former [[Metropolitan Borough of Fulham]] and are a symbol for the [[River Thames]] and its water. The hammers and horseshoe are a pun on the name of Hammersmith and come from the coat of arms of the former [[Metropolitan Borough of Hammersmith]]. There were also horseshoes in the arms of [[Sir Nicholas Crispe, 1st Baronet|Sir Nicholas Crispe, Bt]], whose works in Hammersmith in the 17th century contributed significantly to the growth of the town. The red chief has charges from the coat of arms of the former Fulham arms. The crossed swords are taken from the coat of arms of the [[Diocese of London]] and the [[mitre]] stands for the Bishop of London since the Parishes of Fulham and Hammersmith used to constitute a manor belonging to the bishop.

The [[torse|wreath]] under the [[crest (heraldry)|crest]] is in silver and sanguine and the sail, flags, and pennons on the Viking ship in the crest are also in sanguine. [[Sanguine (heraldry)|Sanguine]], a deep, dark red colour, is not a common colour in heraldry and is rightly not even a colour but a "[[stain (heraldry)|stain]]". Why there is sanguine in these arms is not officially explained, but perhaps because of the old arms of Hammersmith which, though [[blazon|blazoned]] red (gules), used to be depicted in a deep pink colour, or perhaps signifying the bloodthirst of the Vikings. The mantling has the blue and silver tinctures of Fulham. The crest consists of a [[mural crown]], a common heraldic symbol for a town or a city, and the aforementioned ship, which was brought from the former arms of Fulham and signifies the 879 AD landing of Danish Vikings at what now is Fulham.

The supporters are male [[griffin|griffins]], their gender being distinguished by their lack of wings. The griffins are irradiated, which means they have bursts of golden rays coming out from their bodies. They may symbolize dynamism or vigilance. The griffins have an [[scallop|escallop shell]] and a [[cross crosslet]] respectively hanging around their necks. The cross is from the coat of arms of [[Edward Latymer]], who died in 1626 and left lands for the benefit of the poor in Hammersmith and for the education of poor boys. The escallop is for [[George Pring (surgeon)|George Pring]], a surgeon in Hammersmith who projected the first [[Hammersmith Bridge]] over the Thames, but he died three years before the project was completed in 1827. This suspension bridge contributed greatly to the town's development, opening new markets on both sides of the river; it was replaced by a new suspension bridge at the same site in 1887, the current-day Hammersmith Bridge. In the coat of arms of the former Metropolitan Borough of Hammersmith, the cross crosslet and the escallop shell were used as charges on the shield.

The original motto of 1965 was 'judge by our labour', but in 1969 the borough changed this to the present "''[[spectemur agendo]]''", Latin for the same phrase, even if the borough officially translates it as 'let us be judged by our actions'. The Metropolitan Borough of Hammersmith had used the same motto in Latin too.<ref>[http://www.ngw.nl/heraldrywiki/index.php?title=Hammersmith_and_Fulham Heraldry of the World: Hammersmith and Fulham]</ref><ref>[http://www.civicheraldry.co.uk/great_london.html#hammersmith%20and%20fulham%20lb Civic Heraldry of England and Wales: Hammersmith and Fulham lb]</ref>
