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 54.174.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪JJMC89‬ 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 05:35, 2 May 2025.

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.

[[Image:Gert Jonke.jpg|thumb|Gert Jonke in 2008]]
'''Gert Friedrich Jonke''' (8 February 1946  – 4 January 2009) was an [[Austria]]n [[poet]], [[playwright]] and novelist.<ref name=":0">((Cite journal |last=Kling |first=Vincent |date=2005 |title=Gert Jonke |url=https://link.gale.com/apps/doc/A132193427/LitRC |journal=The Review of Contemporary Fiction |volume=25 |issue=1))</ref>

==Life==
Jonke was born and educated in [[Klagenfurt]], Austria. He attended the [[Gymnasium (school)|Gymnasium]] (university preparatory school) and the [[College or university school of music|Conservatory]]. After he served his mandatory military service, he continued his studies at the College of Music and Representative Art in [[Vienna]] in the Film and Television Department. He did not, however, complete his studies there, nor his studies of [[History]], [[Philosophy]], [[Music Theory]], or [[German Studies]] at the [[University of Vienna]] which followed.

He became friends with the writers' circle of [[Graz]], a centre of the Austrian literary avant garde of the time. In 1969 he published his first novel, ''Geometrischer Heimatroman'' (''Geometric Regional Novel''), which met with some success. The book received a positive review by [[Peter Handke]] in ''[[Der Spiegel]]''.<ref name=":0" />

In 1971 he received a scholarship to study in [[West Berlin]], where he stayed for five years. He then lived for a year in London, followed by extensive travels throughout the [[Middle East]] and [[South America]]. In 1977, he moved with his partner to Argentina, where he met [[Jorge Luis Borges|Borges]].<ref>((Cite journal |last=Kling |first=Vincent |date=2012-06-22 |title=Inventing the Self: Gert Jonke's Fragments of a Great Confession |url=https://go.gale.com/ps/i.do?p=AONE&sw=w&issn=02760045&v=2.1&it=r&id=GALE%7CA326854581&sid=googleScholar&linkaccess=abs |journal=The Review of Contemporary Fiction |language=English |volume=32 |issue=2 |pages=11–29))</ref> He returned to Austria in the 1980s.

Jonke died of cancer at the age of 62 on 4 January 2009, in Vienna. He was given a [[grave of honor]] (((lang-de|Ehrengrab))) in the [[Zentralfriedhof]], the central cemetery in Vienna.<ref>((cite web| url = http://www.viennatouristguide.at/Friedhoefe/Zentralfriedhof/Index_33_G/z_index_33G_kl.htm | title = 33 G Ehrengräber Zentralfriedhof))</ref>
