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 54.90.0.0/16 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 10:02, 6 April 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.

==Biography==
Larry Portis grew up in a working-class family in [[Seattle, Washington]] and [[Billings, Montana]]. His father   was a [[sheet metal]] worker and city [[firefighter|fireman]]. His mother was an occasional [[secretary]]. At the age of 18 he married and quickly had two children. In 1968 he graduated from [[Montana State University Billings]] where he was active in university and local politics, wrote (1965–68) weekly articles on politics for the university newspaper (The Retort) and created an underground newspaper (The Free Student Press) in addition to working for a living. Before leaving the area he participated in organizing the municipal water workers in Billings.  He received a master's degree (1970) and a Ph.D. (1975) in history from [[Northern Illinois University]]. In 1974 he participated in support work for the [[United Farm Workers|United Farm Workers’ Union]], before leaving the university and working at a variety of occupations. He left for Europe in 1977 where he traveled and did odd jobs. In 1981 he began teaching at the [[American University of Paris]], where he created a section of [[General Confederation of Labour (France)|CGT labor union]], and then in several other universities in France. He was a member (1984–89) of the editorial collective of the Editions Spartacus, created and directed by [[René Lefeuvre]]. Portis was a member of the editorial committee of the sociology journal L’Homme et la Société  from 1987 to 2007. In 2002, he co-founded the group “Americans for Peace and Justice” in [[Montpellier]], France. He has written many articles for a variety of newspapers, magazines and journals including Alternative Libertaire, Gavroche, [[Radical History Review]], [[The Industrial Worker]], Le Monde Libertaire, l’Homme et la Société, and Film International, and for on-line magazines such as [[CounterPunch]], Watan, Political Film Blog and Divergences.be. Portis has also written and published short stories—some of them published in Intimacies: Nine Tales of Love and Other Emotions, and a novel: American Dreaming. His second novel, Higher Learning, is in progress. He lived in [[Paris]] and in the [[south of France]] with the author and radio journalist Christiane Passevant.
