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 44.211.0.0/16 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 10:53, 20 August 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.

'''Sir Granville George Greenwood''' (3 January 1850 – 27 October 1928), usually known as '''George Greenwood''' or '''G. G. Greenwood''', was a British lawyer, politician, [[cricket]]er, [[animal welfare]] reformer and energetic advocate of the [[Shakespeare authorship question]].

==Life and work==
((More citations needed|section|date=January 2023))
Born Granville George Greenwood, in [[Kensington]], London, he was the second son of [[John Greenwood (cricketer, born 1800)|John Greenwood, Q. C.]] and Fanny Welch. Educated at [[Eton College|Eton]] he was in the "select" for the Newcastle scholarship and then matriculated to [[Trinity College, Cambridge]]. As a foundation scholar, he took his degree with a first-class in the classical [[tripos]] in 1873.<ref>((acad|id=GRNT868GG|name=Greenwood, George Granville))</ref> Having been called to the Bar by the [[Middle Temple]] in 1876, he joined the Western Circuit. He married in 1878 Laura, daughter of Dr. Cumberbatch and had one son and three daughters.

He contested [[Peterborough (UK Parliament constituency)|Peterborough]] in 1886 and [[Kingston upon Hull Central (UK Parliament constituency)|Central Hull]] in 1900. In 1906 he won Peterborough for the [[Liberal Party (UK)|Liberal Party]] and held it till December 1915, when forced by [[rheumatism]] to retire. He was knighted in 1916.

He was an ardent supporter of all measures for the protection of animals, and was on the Council of the [[Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals]], and was President of many similar societies. While he was in Parliament his consistent vigilance and practical knowledge were of great service. He was an outspoken advocate for the independence of [[India]] at a time when the Indian cause lacked effective voices within England.

Greenwood was also a cricketer and made a single first-class appearance, for [[Hampshire CCC|Hampshire]] against [[Kent County Cricket Club|Kent]], in one of Hampshire's heaviest first-class defeats. Greenwood scored a single run in each innings of the match. His father John Greenwood and brother, Charles Greenwood, had equally brief first-class careers.

==Shakespeare authorship==
Greenwood was also one of the most persistent and effective fighters in the [[Shakespeare authorship]] question, and published many books on the subject. He was a frequent correspondent to ''[[The Times]]'', both on Shakespearean subjects and on the protection of animals.

Greenwood is the author of twelve books and numerous articles on the authorship question, all published 1908–1924. A prolific and entertaining writer, he engaged in a series of well-known public debates, carried on in books and in public forums of exchange such as newspapers and literary journals, with [[Sir Sidney Lee]], the leading Shakespearean biographer of his generation. Although the most effective anti-Stratfordian of the early decades of the 20th century, Greenwood refused to endorse an alternative author of the Shakespearean canon, preferring instead to remain agnostic on the identity of the author while steadfastly maintaining that the traditional view of authorship was ultimately indefensible.

In 1922 he joined with [[J. Thomas Looney]] to establish [[The Shakespeare Fellowship]], the organisation which subsequently carried forward public discussion of the authorship question up to the 1940s.
