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 18.206.0.0/16 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 05:36, 30 September 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.

'''Kinja''' is a free online [[news aggregator]], launched in April 2004. It is operated by [[G/O Media]]. It was formerly operated by [[Gizmodo Media Group]], which was purchased by [[Univision Communications]] during [[Gawker Media]]'s bankruptcy.<ref name="Forbes Veronica Villafane 2016">((cite web | title = Univision Rebrands Gawker Media As Gizmodo Media Group; Starts Translating Content For Univision.com | website=Forbes  | date=2016-09-22 | url=https://www.forbes.com/sites/veronicavillafane/2016/09/22/univision-rebrands-gawker-media-as-gizmodo-media-group-starts-translating-content-for-univision-com/#31da38ef44ad | accessdate=2017-01-13))</ref>

==History==
With the intention of making blogs more accessible to the public, [[Nick Denton]] of Gawker Media and [[Meg Hourihan]] of [[Pyra Labs]] created Kinja, which began as an investigation into the navigation of blogs. It was dubbed Kinja in October 2003.<ref name="kottke">((cite web|url=http://kottke.org/12/06/gawkers-kinja-circa-2003|title=Gawker's Kinja, circa 2003|publisher=kottke.org|accessdate=2014-08-12))</ref>

On February 11, 2013, Kinja 1.0 was launched on [[Jalopnik]].<ref name="jalopnik">((cite web|url=http://jalopnik.com/welcome-to-what-s-next-73787938|title=Welcome To What's Next|date=11 February 2013 |publisher=jalopnik.com|accessdate=2014-04-18))</ref> Changes included an entire site and platform redesign, favoring a more [[Tumblr]]-esque design. Users received the ability to create their own blogs on Kinja, replacing the old profile system. Comments, replies, and posts all aggregate on the user's personal blog.

On March 11, 2013,<ref name="io9">((cite web|url=http://io9.com/check-out-io9s-new-design-451387032|title=Check Out io9's New Design!|date=11 March 2013 |publisher=io9.com|accessdate=2014-04-18))</ref> Kinja was launched on Gawker Media blogs [[io9]] and [[Deadspin]], followed by [[Kotaku]] on March 25, 2013;<ref name="kotaku">((cite web|url=http://kotaku.com/welcome-to-the-new-kotaku-better-graphics-more-intera-458370679|title=Welcome To The New Kotaku: Better Graphics, More Interactive, Same Low Price.|date=25 March 2013 |publisher=kotaku.com|accessdate=2014-04-18))</ref> [[Jezebel (website)|Jezebel]] on April 8, 2013;<ref name="jezebel">((cite web|url=http://jezebel.com/welcome-to-the-new-jezebel-470862928|title=Welcome to the New Jezebel|date=8 April 2013 |publisher=jezebel.com|accessdate=2014-04-18))</ref> [[Lifehacker]] on April 15, 2013;<ref name="lifehacker">((cite web|url=http://lifehacker.com/welcome-to-the-new-lifehacker-472650381|title=Welcome to the New Lifehacker|date=15 April 2013 |publisher=lifehacker.com|accessdate=2014-04-18))</ref> and [[Gizmodo]] on April 29, 2013.<ref name="gizmodo">((cite web|url=https://gizmodo.com/welcome-to-the-new-gizmodo-481330297|title=Welcome to the New Gizmodo|date=29 April 2013 |publisher=gizmodo.com|accessdate=2014-04-18))</ref>

In 2017, following Univision Communications' purchase of Gawker Media assets and their reorganization as [[Gizmodo Media Group]], the company began to migrate some of its existing websites to Kinja as well, including ''[[The A.V. Club]]'', [[Fusion TV|Fusion]] (whose online editorial operation was later re-launched as ''[[Splinter News|Splinter]]''), ''[[The Root (magazine)|The Root]]'', and ''[[The Onion]]''. As of April 2018, ''[[ClickHole]]'' is also on the Kinja platform. The move was made as Univision staff were heavily interested in Kinja's "inset" feature for external links—which can display [[Amazon.com]] affiliate links with product thumbnails and prices, as they can be used to generate e-commerce revenue.<ref>((Cite web|url=https://www.poynter.org/news/fusion-changing-its-name-splinter|title=Fusion is changing its name to Splinter|website=Poynter|date=7 July 2017 |language=en|access-date=2017-09-25))</ref><ref>((Cite web|url=https://www.poynter.org/news/kinja-publishing-system-heart-gawker-lives-under-univision|title=Kinja, the publishing system at the heart of Gawker, lives on under Univision|website=Poynter|date=16 June 2017 |language=en|access-date=2017-09-25))</ref>

==Usage==
<!-- Deleted image removed: [[Image:Kinja screenshot.jpg|right|thumb|This is a screenshot of the Media digest collection at Kinja.]] -->
Kinja is a personal web service that allows its users to "bookmark" blogs, Kinja providing the user with excerpts of recent posts of the chosen blogs. These excerpts, known as personal "digests", are compiled into one page of excerpts, with other categorized compilations available based on such labels as media, music, liberal, conservative, and more. A user's personal selection of digests is easily available to any outside user, allowing others to share their favorite blogs and recent blog posts. Utilizing a [[webcrawler]] dubbed Kinjabot (similar to Google's webcrawlers), Kinja creates an internal index of all available weblogs as defined by Kinjabot.
