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 44.201.0.0/16 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 23:54, 31 July 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:Eddie_McAteer.jpg|thumb|right|McAteer speaking in an interview to RTÉ in 1968]]

'''Eddie McAteer''' (25 June 1914 – 25 March 1986) was an [[Irish nationalist]] politician in [[Northern Ireland]].

Born in [[Coatbridge]], [[Scotland]], McAteer's family moved to [[Derry]] in [[Northern Ireland]] while he was young. In 1930 he joined the [[Inland Revenue]], where he worked until 1944. He then became an [[accountant]] and more actively involved in politics. While his brother, [[Hugh McAteer|Hugh]], became a prominent [[Irish republican]], involved in the [[Irish Republican Army (1922–1969)|Irish Republican Army]] (IRA) and [[Sinn Féin]], Eddie chose constitutional nationalist politics. He was elected as the [[Nationalist Party (Northern Ireland)]] [[Member of Parliament]] for [[Mid Londonderry (Northern Ireland Parliament constituency)|Mid Londonderry]] in the [[1945 Northern Ireland general election]]. He was a founder member of the [[Anti-Partition League of Ireland]], and became its vice chairman in 1947, then its chairman in 1953.

In 1952, McAteer was elected to [[Londonderry Corporation]], and the following year he switched to represent [[Foyle (Northern Ireland Parliament constituency)|Foyle]] in the [[Northern Ireland House of Commons]]. He left the City Council in 1958, and became the Deputy Leader of the Nationalist Party at Stormont. He became prominent in the [[University for Derry Committee|campaign calling for the establishment of a university in Derry]].<ref>[http://www.museumoffreederry.org/history-bogside01.html History – The Bogside<!-- Bot generated title -->] ((webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100325074037/http://www.museumoffreederry.org/history-bogside01.html |date=25 March 2010 ))</ref>

In 1964, he became the leader of the Nationalist Party, and the following year accepted the post of [[Leader of the Opposition (Northern Ireland)|Leader of the Opposition]] thereby conferring de facto recognition of the Northern Irish government (by Nationalists) for the first time.<ref>Phoenix, Eamon & Parkinson, Alan (2010), ''Conflicts in the North of Ireland, 1900-2000'', Four Courts Press, Dublin, Pg 151, ISBN 978 1 84682 189 9</ref> Several years later he lost his seat in the [[1969 Northern Ireland general election]] to [[John Hume]]. While in his early career, he had been a militant nationalist, publishing ''Irish Action'' – a call for [[civil disobedience]] – with the start of [[The Troubles]], he repeatedly called for moderation.<ref>((Cite web |url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/northernireland/schools/gcsebitesize/history/ni1965_85/hm12.shtml |title=BBC NI – Schools – GCSE Bitesize Revision – History – History Makers – Eddie McAteer<!-- Bot generated title --> |access-date=9 October 2006 |archive-date=14 December 2003 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20031214165715/http://www.bbc.co.uk/northernireland/schools/gcsebitesize/history/ni1965_85/hm12.shtml |url-status=live ))</ref>

In the [[1970 United Kingdom general election]], McAteer stood in [[Londonderry (UK Parliament constituency)|Londonderry]] on the [[Unity (Northern Ireland)|Unity]] slate, taking 36.6% of the vote. He again contested Londonderry in the [[Northern Ireland Assembly, 1973]] election, taking only 3,712 votes and narrowly missing being elected. With the ascendancy of the [[Social Democratic and Labour Party]], the Nationalist Party was in disarray. McAteer took his remaining supporters into the [[Irish Independence Party]] in 1978, in which his son [[Fergus McAteer|Fergus]] became prominent.
