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.

'''Everett De Roche''' (1946–2014) was an [[American Australians|American-Australian]] screenwriter who worked extensively in the [[Australian cinema|Australian film and TV industry]]. He was best known for his work in the thriller and horror genre, with such credits as ''[[Long Weekend (1978 film)|Long Weekend]]'', ''[[Patrick (1978 film)|Patrick]]'', and ''[[Roadgames]]''.

==Early life==
De Roche was born in [[Lincoln, Maine]], and moved to [[San Diego]] with his family when he was six. De Roche emigrated to Australia with his wife when he was 22 in 1968, and worked as a journalist for the Queensland Health Education Council.

==Career==
De Roche wanted to be a writer and wrote a spec script for ''[[Division 4|Division Four]]''. Nine months later he received a telegram inviting him to write for the show. From 1970-74 he was a staff writer at [[Crawford Productions]], mainly working on police shows, then he freelanced.

In the late 70s and early 80s he established himself as the leading screenwriter of thrillers in Australia.<ref>[http://www.crawfordproductions.tv/mytime/deroche.php Everett de Roche at Crawford Productions] ((webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111029093334/http://www.crawfordproductions.tv/mytime/deroche.php |date=2011-10-29 )) accessed 23 Sept 2012</ref><ref>[http://www.spectacularoptical.ca/2012/06/an-interview-with-everett-de-roche/ 'An Interview with Everett de Roche', 1 June 2012] accessed 23 Sept 2012</ref>

He often worked with director [[Richard Franklin (director)|Richard Franklin]] who said of him:
<blockquote>Everett is a very inspirational writer... Everett gives one too much of everything and you don’t always know what to use. You start editing down and you end up with words and single lines of dialogue that were once scenes. That is maybe how this problem, as you see it, comes about. But that only has to do with Everett’s extraordinarily fertile imagination and his writing speed.<ref name="senses">[http://sensesofcinema.com/2008/48/dossier-on-australian-exploitation/richard-franklin/ Scott Murray, "Richard Franklin: Director/Producer", ''Senses of Cinema'', 12 July 2008] accessed 26 October 2012</ref></blockquote>

==Death==
De Roche had cancer during the last three years of his life and died of the disease in 2014.<ref>[http://if.com.au/2014/04/03/article/Vale-Everett-De-Roche/GCGTIPRKEE.html Don Groves, "Vale Everett De Roche", ''If Magazine'' 3 April 2014] accessed 4 April 2014</ref> He was survived by his wife, six daughters and several grandchildren.<ref>[http://www.fearfuladventurer.com/archives/10076 Torre de Roche "Life, death and whales", ''The Fearful Adventurer'' 3 April 2014] accessed 5 April 2014</ref>
