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 44.195.0.0/16 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 09:46, 11 January 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.

'''Dominique You''' or '''Youx''' (born '''Frederic You''' or '''Youx''', ((circa|1775)) – November 15, 1830) was a French [[privateer]], [[soldier]], and [[politician]].

==Biography==
According to information he provided to his masonic lodge in [[New Orleans]], he was born in Cette (now spelled [[Sète]]) in [[Languedoc]], [[France]].<ref>Tableau of La Concorde No. 3 Lodge, New Orleans, Grand Lodge of Louisiana (1815).</ref> (Contrary to the spurious ''Journal of Jean Laffite'', he was not the older brother of Pierre and Jean Laffite.) He served as an [[artillery|artilleryman]] in the [[French Revolutionary Army]]. In 1802 he accompanied General [[Charles Leclerc (general, born 1772)|Charles Leclerc]]'s expedition to quell [[Toussaint Louverture]]'s [[Haitian Revolution]].

Following the failure of this expedition, Dominique You managed to reach [[Louisiana]], where it is sometimes alleged thousands of pirates were based at that time. He appears to have joined [[Jean Lafitte]] and [[Pierre Lafitte]]. He became the captain of the pirate ship ''[[Le Pandoure]]''. He was nicknamed "Captain Dominique" by the French and "Johnness" by the Americans. He acquired a reputation for being very bold and daring. During the next few years he and the Lafitte brothers became successful [[smugglers]] in the Louisiana [[bayou]]s. As [[pirate]]s, they preyed on [[Spain|Spanish]] ships in the [[Gulf of Mexico]], doing extensive damage to Spanish commerce. On one occasion, a [[hurricane]] in the [[Gulf of Mexico]] caused severe damage to ''Le Pandoure'' and almost killed Captain You.

From 1804, the governor of newly American Louisiana (or "the [[Territory of Orleans]]"), [[William C. C. Claiborne]], was making efforts to suppress piracy. In July 1814, Dominique You was publicly identified as a [[pirate]]. In September 1814, he was in a pirate camp at [[Barataria Bay]] when it was captured by American forces; he was taken prisoner along with other Baratarian pirates.<ref>((cite book|last=Tucker|first=Spencer|title=The Encyclopedia Of the War of 1812|year=2012|publisher=ABC-CLIO, LLC|isbn=978-1-85109-956-6|page=42))</ref> Soon, however, in the context of the ongoing [[War of 1812]], Jean Lafitte had the opportunity to offer to help General [[Andrew Jackson]] defend New Orleans against the impending [[United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland|British]] invasion, in exchange for a pardon for him and his pirate crews. Jackson accepted this offer, and You was appointed commander of a company of [[artillery]] which was composed of the Baratarians' best gunners. Compared to the official American forces, the pirates fought particularly well in the [[Battle of New Orleans]] on January 8, 1815, and were mentioned in Major General Andrew Jackson's general order of January 21 for having shown uncommon gallantry and skill in the field.

As a result of this success, the charges against the Baratarians and Dominique You were dropped. After the battle, You settled in [[New Orleans]] where he became involved in politics as a partisan of Andrew Jackson. You died in New Orleans in 1830, receiving a military funeral at public expense. His grave bears a [[Freemasonic]] symbol.
