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 3.239.0.0/16 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 07:38, 2 November 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.

'''Marcon''' is a full-spectrum [[fantasy literature|fantasy]] and [[science fiction convention]] based in [[Columbus, Ohio]], and was on [[Easter]] weekend in 2013 but moved to [[Mother's Day (United States)|Mother's Day]] weekend starting in 2014.<ref>[http://marcon.org/wordpress/?page_id=2 About Marcon] ((webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100814015227/http://marcon.org/wordpress/?page_id=2 |date=2010-08-14 )) Retrieved January 21, 2013</ref> It is now operated by the Columbus-based Science Oriented Literature, Art, and Education Foundation, a non-profit educational corporation.<ref>[http://www.solae.org/index.htm SOLAE website] ((webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101009121741/http://www.solae.org/index.htm |date=2010-10-09 ))</ref> The name was originally short for "March Convention," with the convention mascot the "[[March Hare]]," affectionately named "Marconi". After the date of the convention moved away from March, the name was re-designated as "Multiple Alternative Realities Convention".

Marcon offers a dozen tracks of programming in art, costuming, fan, [[filk]], literary, media, and science, as well as events and displays including a masquerade, art show, dealers room, multiple 24-hour video tracks, ((convert|7000|sqft|m2)) of gaming space, and at least one dance. Marcon runs a children's track of programming that has included independent filmmakers helping the kids create their own movies (''The Curse of Monster X'', ''Return of the Red Shirts'') and many hands-on art, costuming, and science programs. It is the oldest and largest science fiction convention in the state of Ohio.<ref>((cite news | url=http://www.dispatch.com/live/content/life/stories/2010/05/26/sci-fi-convention-to-explore-horror.html?sid=101 | author=Grossberg, Michael | title=Sci-fi convention to explore horror | work=Columbus Dispatch | date=May 26, 2010 | accessdate=April 5, 2011))</ref>
