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.

'''Fort-Shevchenko''' (((lang-kk|Форт-Шевченко))) is a military-base town and administrative centre of [[Tupkaragan District]] in [[Mangystau Region]] of [[Kazakhstan]] on the eastern shore of [[Caspian Sea]]. Primary industries include fishing and the extraction of stone. Population: 5,559 (2016 estimate).<ref name="stat2016" />

==History==
The city was founded as a military stronghold by the Imperial [[Russian Navy]] in 1846 after nearby New Alexander Fort, built in 1834 overlooking [[Dead Kultuk]], was deemed too remote.<ref>[https://www.planetesoterica.com/fort-shevchenko-and-bautino/ Travel Guide to Fort Shevchenko and Bautino – Planet Esoterica]</ref> Until 1857, Fort Shevchenko was known as ''Novopetrovskoye'' (Новопетровское) and from 1857 to 1939 as ''Fort-Aleksandrovskii'' (Форт-Александровский). It was named for [[Ukrainians|Ukrainian]] [[poet]] [[Taras Shevchenko]], who was assigned to military service here during his exile. Today the town is used by the [[Kazakhstan Navy]] as a base.

The coat of arms of  Fort Alexandrovsky was approved October 22, 1908, along with other arms of the Transcaspian field: It is black and silver depicting the fortress and two fish.

===Russian Civil War===
Fort Alexandrovsky was the site of [[Battle of Alexandrovsky Fort|naval action on 21 May 1919]], when a Squadron of the [[British Caspian Flotilla]] attacked the port.<ref name=Halpern>((cite book|last1=Halpern|first1=Paul|title=The Mediterranean Fleet, 1919–1929|date=2013|publisher=Ashgate Publishing |isbn=978-1-4094-2756-8 ))</ref>

There are also some remnants of the fortress, a monument to Shevchenko and a state grave of Civil War heroes.

31&nbsp;km from the city is the [[necropolis]] [[Beysenbay]] and up the coast the site [[Bautino]] (Баутино).
