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 54.163.0.0/16 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 17:28, 10 March 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.

The '''Fergusson Baronetcy''', of [[Kilkerran House|Kilkerran]] in the [[Ayrshire|County of Ayr]], is a title in the [[Baronetage of Nova Scotia]]. It was created on 30 November 1703 for the prominent advocate John Fergusson. The second Baronet represented [[Sutherland (UK Parliament constituency)|Sutherland]] in the [[House of Commons of the United Kingdom|House of Commons]] and served as a [[Lord of Session]] under the judicial title Lord Kilkerran. The third Baronet, who with his brothers owned plantations and enslaved people in Jamaica and Tobago, sat as [[Member of Parliament]] for [[Ayrshire (UK Parliament constituency)|Ayrshire]] and [[Edinburgh (UK Parliament constituency)|Edinburgh]]. In 1796 he claimed the [[Earl of Glencairn|earldom of Glencairn]]. The [[House of Lords]] decided that he had successfully proved that he was heir-general to Alexander Cunningham, 10th Earl of Glencairn (died 1670), but that he had not proved his right to the earldom. The sixth Baronet was a [[Conservative Party (UK)|Conservative]] politician and colonial governor and notably served as [[Governor-General of New Zealand|Governor of New Zealand]] from 1873 to 1874 and as [[Governor of Bombay]] from 1880 to 1885. The seventh Baronet was Governor-General of New Zealand between 1924 and 1930. The eighth Baronet was an author and historian and also served as [[Lord-Lieutenant of Ayrshire]].

Several other members of the Fergusson family have also gained distinction. Sir [[James Fergusson (Royal Navy officer)|James Andrew Fergusson]] (1872–1942), second son of the sixth Baronet, was an Admiral in the [[Royal Navy]]. [[Sir Charles Dalrymple, 1st Baronet|Charles Dalrymple]], second son of the fifth Baronet, was a Conservative politician. He assumed the surname of Dalrymple in lieu of Fergusson and was created a baronet in his own right in 1887 (see [[Dalrymple baronets]]). [[Bernard Fergusson, Baron Ballantrae]], Governor-General of New Zealand from 1962 to 1967, was the youngest son of the seventh Baronet. His son is [[George Fergusson (diplomat)|George Fergusson]], [[List of High Commissioners from the United Kingdom to New Zealand|British High Commissioner to New Zealand]].  [[Alex Fergusson (politician)|Sir Alexander Fergusson]], grandson of the seventh Baronet, was a Scottish parliamentarian and third [[Presiding Officer of the Scottish Parliament]].
