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 3.85.0.0/16 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 21:48, 22 February 2026.

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.

'''Harry Marks''' (March 11, 1931 – April 21, 2019) was a British-American [[broadcast designer]] who was renowned for his work in American television graphics. In 1984, Marks originated the idea for the [[TED (conference)|TED Conference]], which he co-founded with [[Richard Saul Wurman]].

==Biography==
===Early life===
Marks was born in England. When he was 15, he worked for [[Oxford University Press]] as a typographer and publications designer. At the age of 18, he immigrated to [[San Francisco]], where he worked for the [[University of California Press]]. He eventually went to work for [[American Broadcasting Company|ABC]] in the 1960s, assigned to make on-screen graphics more attractive. Marks would eventually do work for [[CBS]] and [[NBC]] as well.<ref>((Cite web|title=Harry Marks, Renowned Broadcast Design Artist, Dies at 88 ((!)) Hollywood Reporter|url=https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/harry-marks-dead-renowned-broadcast-design-artist-was-88-1204960|access-date=2020-10-11|website=www.hollywoodreporter.com|date=25 April 2019 ))</ref>

===ABC Movie of the Week intro===
Marks created the groundbreaking intro for the [[ABC Movie of the Week]]. He hired [[Douglas Trumbull]] to create the graphics using the [[slit-scan]] process that Trumbull had created for the [[psychedelic art|psychedelic]] climax of ''[[2001: A Space Odyssey (film)|2001: A Space Odyssey]]''. Most of his work through the 1970s used backlit animation multi-pass techniques, although Marks was one of the early adopters of [[Computer-generated imagery|CGI]] animation.

===1977–78 ABC "Still the One" fall season promo ===
Marks began making fall season promos for ABC in 1969. In 1977, ABC felt they could not afford to film a promotional campaign for their upcoming TV season. Marks took the initiative to create one on his own. He was inspired by [[Toni Tennille]] rehearsing a pop rendition of the [[Orleans (band)|Orleans]] song, "[[Still the One]]," and used that phrase as the theme of the promo. His team asked people on the street in various cities to give a "number one" hand gesture or a thumbs-up gesture and filmed them for a [[cinéma vérité]] style. These were combined into a fast-paced montage with various shots of "1" or "one" on items such as billboards, signs, clothing, and vehicles. With the exception of brief clips from older shows at the beginning of the promo, no TV personalities were visible. The promo cost $60,000 in total. ABC was impressed by the promo and asked Marks to make more, but insisted that subsequent campaigns feature the stars of ABC's prime time shows. Costs skyrocketed in the following years with the need for ancillary support for the actors – such as makeup, wardrobes, and transportation – as well as production crews.<ref>((Cite web|title=ABC fall campaign: Still the One – Creative Inspirations: Harry Marks, Broadcast Designer Video Tutorial ((!))

In 1984, 1985, and 1990, Marks worked on fall season promos for NBC.

His later TV work includes graphics and title sequences for [[Today (American TV program)|NBC News Today]], [[Walt Disney anthology television series|The Wonderful World of Disney]] and for prime-time movies such as the NBC Sunday Night Movie. He also created [[Station identification|idents]] for all of the networks and [[WWOR-TV]].

===Creating the TED Conference===
With his personal history of using computers, CGI, and other technology in his projects, Marks had the idea to bring together all the people from various fields of technology, entertainment and design who worked together on projects. He discussed the concept with [[Richard Saul Wurman]] and they would co-found the [[TED (conference)|TED Conference]] in 1984.<ref>((Cite web|date=2019-04-27|title=Remembering Harry Marks, co-founder of the TED Conference|url=https://blog.ted.com/remembering-harry-marks-co-founder-of-the-ted-conference/|access-date=2020-10-11|website=TED Blog|language=en))</ref>

==Awards==
In 1983, Marks received an [[Emmy Award]] for Outstanding Individual Achievement for his opening graphics for [[Entertainment Tonight]].<ref>((Cite web|title=Harry Marks|url=https://www.emmys.com/bios/harry-marks|access-date=2020-10-11|website=Television Academy|language=en))</ref> He received the first Lifetime Achievement Award given by the Broadcast Designers Association.<ref name=HR>((Cite web|date=2019-04-25|title=Harry Marks Dead: Renowned Broadcast Design Artist Was 88|url=http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/amp/news/harry-marks-dead-renowned-broadcast-design-artist-was-88-1204960|access-date=2020-10-11|website=www.hollywoodreporter.com|language=en))</ref>
