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.

The term "Germanophile" came into common use in the 19th to 20th centuries<ref>

</ref> – after the 1871 formation of the [[German Empire]] and its subsequent rise in importance. It is used not only politically but also culturally; for example, [[Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel]] (1770–1831), the famous, influential German [[philosopher]], interpreted the geographic triad of Europe as comprising [[England]] (utilitarian pragmatism), [[France]] (revolutionary hastiness), and Germany (reflective thoroughness).((vague|date=September 2019))

In 19th-century [[romanticism]] in Britain, the term's antonym was [[Scandophile]], expressing a dichotomy of associating "Anglo-Saxon" culture either with continental [[West Germanic languages|West Germanic]] culture or with [[North Germanic languages|North Germanic]] (Scandinavian) culture (the "[[Viking revival]]").((citation needed|date=September 2019)) With an affinity to "Teutonic" or [[Germanic peoples|Germanic]] culture and worldview seen as opposed to a predilection for [[Classical Antiquity]].

In 19th-century [[Continental Europe]], the dichotomy was rather between Germany and France, the main political players of the period, and a Germanophile would choose to side with Germany against French or "Romance" interests taken to heart by a [[Francophile]]. The corresponding term relating to [[England]] is [[Anglophile]], an affinity, in turn, often observed in early-20th-century Germans choosing to side against French influence.

This term was also popularly used in the 20th century to refer to admirers and adherents of the [[Humboldtian model of higher education|Prussian model of higher education]] created by [[Wilhelm von Humboldt]] (1767–1835), which were [[leadership|leading]] in the early 1800s and widely adopted by elite universities from [[Oslo University|Oslo]] to [[Harvard University|Harvard]].((citation needed|date=September 2019))

A number of [[Serb]] elites in the 19th century and in the [[interwar period]] were staunch Germanophiles.<ref>((Cite book|last=Gašić|first=Ranka|title=Beograd u hodu ka Evropi: Kulturni uticaji Britanije i Nemačke na beogradsku elitu 1918–1941|publisher=Institut za savremenu istoriju|year=2005|isbn=86-7403-085-8|location=Belgrade|pages=7, 163))</ref>

[[Argentine people|Argentine]] poet and writer [[Jorge Luis Borges]] was a self-described Germanophile. During [[World War I]], while his family was living in [[Geneva]], in neutral [[Switzerland]], Borges taught himself to speak and read the [[German language]] so that he could read the writings of Romantic poet [[Heinrich Heine]] in the original language. In later years, Borges cited many other German poets and philosophers as a major influence upon his own ideas and writings. Even in the essays that attacked [[Adolf Hitler]] and the [[Nazi Party]], Borges described himself as a Germanophile. Borges further accused the Nazis of rewriting [[German history]], of savagely distorting the interpretation of [[German literature]], and of criminally corrupting [[German culture]]. While Borges expressed support for the Allies during [[World War II]], he expressed concern that Western civilization might not be able to do without the achievements and contributions of the [[German people]] and that, he warned, was why their corruption by the teachings of hatred was such a horrible crime.

Egyptian-born Ottoman military officer [[Aziz Ali al-Misri]] was a self-described Germanophile. He stated in an interview with [[Al-Ahram]] that after he learned of the [[Paris Peace Conference (1919–1920)|German surrender in 1919]] following WWI, he fell into a depression and considered committing suicide.<ref>((cite news |last1=إنجي رشدي |title=حوار مع عزيز المصري |date=21 July 1957))</ref> He would later try to go to Germany by various means during WWII without success. His rival in the Ottoman army, [[Enver Pasha]], was also a Germanophile.
