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 54.163.0.0/16 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 17:28, 10 March 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.

'''Mandeville''' (((lang-jam|Mandivl))) is the capital and largest town in the [[Manchester Parish|parish of Manchester]] in the county of Middlesex, [[Jamaica]]. In 2005, the town had an estimated population of 50,000, and including the immediate suburbs within a radius of ((convert|16|km|mi|abbr=on)) the total population was about 72,000. It is located on an inland plateau at an altitude of 628 m (2061&nbsp;feet), and is ((convert|103|km|mi|abbr=on)) west of [[Kingston, Jamaica|Kingston]]. It is the only parish capital of Jamaica not located on the coast or on a major river.

Mandeville has a town square, parish church and clock tower, and many large, elegant early nineteenth-century houses line the winding streets in the town centre.

In the suburbs of the town many large houses have been built by returning residents from North America and the United Kingdom on an ''ad hoc'' basis.  Developers have complemented these with large housing developments, some of which are constructed as gated communities.  Prominent((Citation needed|date=December 2007)) suburbs and surrounding areas include Ingleside, Battersea, Knockpatrick, Clover, Waltham, Bloomfield, Caledonia Meadows, Brumalia, Newport, Spur Tree, Kingsland, French Park, Swabys Hope, Lincoln, Greenvale and Marshalls Pen.((Citation needed|date=December 2007))

Mandeville is a major commercial centre, and is the location of [[Northern Caribbean University]] (formerly West Indies College), a [[Seventh-day Adventist Church|Seventh-day Adventist]] institution of higher learning.

The mayor of Mandeville in 2012 was Brenda Ramsay.<ref>((Cite web|url=https://www.jamaicaobserver.com/news/Brenda-Ramsay-returned-as-Mandeville-mayor_11160805|title=Brenda Ramsay returned as Mandeville mayor|website=Jamaica Observer|date=March 30, 2012))</ref>

==History==
[[File:Mandeville-courthouse.jpg|thumb|The Courthouse, Mandeville (2005)]]

The town was laid out in 1816, and named after Viscount Mandeville, the eldest son of the [[William Montagu, 5th Duke of Manchester|Duke of Manchester]], who was then governor of Jamaica.

Many of the original buildings can still be seen such as the courthouse, an impressive building of cut limestone with a horseshoe staircase and a raised portico supported by Doric columns and built in 1820. The staircase was added in about 1900.

Many of Jamaica's oldest businesses were started in Mandeville; the Mandeville Hotel, one of the oldest in the Caribbean, began operations in 1875. Its golf club, founded as the Manchester Golf Club in 1868, was the first golf course in the Caribbean. The first "free library" in Jamaica was established in 1938, and is the oldest Parish Library.

The growth of the town was given a substantial stimulus when the [[Alcan|Alcan Bauxite Company]] in a joint venture with the Jamaican Government opened its Kirkvine works nearby at Williamsfield in 1957. It built houses at Mandeville for its then mostly expatriate staff. The relatively high wages lured many educated Jamaicans there. Subsequently, the town has seen an influx of Jamaican residents returning from abroad.
