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 35.170.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪JJMC89‬ 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 05:20, 2 July 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.

[[File:Traat, Mats.IMG 4457.JPG|thumb|right|Traat in 2011]]

'''Mats Traat''' (23 November 1936 – 27 June 2022) was an Estonian poet, poetry translator, and author.

==Career==
Traat was born in [[Arula]], [[Otepää Parish]]. He debuted in 1962 with a collection of poetry. He published over 20 anthologies of poetry. His poetry frequently dealt with social commentary and society's adoration for science. His lyrics praised nature and his native country. He also translated poetry from [[Slavic languages]] (Polish, Macedonian, and Czech). Traat was also a singer and an actor.

Traat wrote about the indigenous Estonian [[population]]. His central topics were the changes to and the developments of Estonian rural life over the course of the centuries, with an emphasis on people's ethical choices. In ''Trees Were, Trees Were Tender Brothers'' (1979), a young protagonist wages a struggle to keep a farm running, something he never desired to do.<ref>http://elm.einst.ee/issue/24/views-freedom-mats-traat ((Dead link|date=February 2022))</ref>

''Pasqueflower, Antidote for Sadness'' (1982, uncensored version 1990) covered the fate of the ancient [[Livonian people|Livonians]], who were conquered and formally aligned with the Christian invaders while maintaining pagan convictions, and the problems of rural life during the [[Brezhnev stagnation|stagnation era]] of the [[Estonian SSR]].

''Dance around the Steam Boiler'' (1971; originally a film script, which was finally completed in 1988) illustrated the changes in rural life over half a century with five "dances" with a [[portable engine]]. In the movie, which was filmed during the [[perestroika]] era, a sixth "dance" was added, showing the old age of the main characters against a background of the typical rural scenes of 1980s: industrial and technological developments combined with reckless destruction of the environment.

Traat's short story "The Cross of Power" won the [[Friedebert Tuglas]] Award for Short Prose.
