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 184.73.0.0/16 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 05:41, 2 October 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.

A '''mesh''' is a barrier made of interlaced strands of [[metal]], [[fiber]] or other flexible or ductile materials. A mesh is similar to a [[spider web|web]] or a [[net (textile)|net]] in that it has many interwoven strands.

==Types==
* A [[plastic]] mesh may be extruded, [[oriented]], expanded, [[weaving|woven]]<ref>[http://www.wiremeshes.eu/ Synthetic woven wire mesh] Information on polyester and polypropylene wire cloth</ref> or [[Cylinder (geometry)|tubular]]. It can be made from [[polypropylene]], [[polyethylene]], [[nylon]], [[PVC]] or [[PTFE]].
* A [[metal]] mesh may be [[weaving|woven]],<ref>((Cite web|title=A Woven Wire Mesh Overview ((!)) LSM|url=https://www.lawrencesinteredmetals.com/square-weave-wire-mesh/|access-date=2020-10-07|language=en-US))</ref> [[knitting|knitted]], welded, [[Expanded metal|expanded]], [[sintering|sintered]],<ref>((Cite web|title=Sintered wire mesh ((!)) Lianda Filter|url=https://www.liandafilter.com/sintered-wire-mesh-laminates/|access-date=2021-07-15|language=en-US))</ref> photo-chemically etched or [[Electroforming|electroformed]] ([[screen filter]]) from [[steel]] or other [[metal]]s.
* In [[clothing]], mesh is loosely [[woven]] or [[knitted]] fabric that has many closely spaced holes.  Knitted mesh is frequently used for modern sports [[jersey (clothing)|jersey]]s and other clothing like [[hosiery]] and [[lingerie]]
* A meshed [[skin graft]] is a piece of harvested [[skin]] that has been systematically fenestrated to create a mesh-like patch. Meshing of skin grafts provides coverage of a greater surface area at the recipient site, and also allows for the egress of excess serous or sanguinous fluid, which can compromise the graft establishment via formation of [[haematoma]] or [[seroma]]. However, it results in a rather pebbled appearance upon healing that may ultimately look less aesthetically pleasing.<ref>[http://emedicine.medscape.com/article/1295109-overview emedicine >Skin, Grafts] Author: Benjamin C Wood. Coauthor(s): Christian N Kirman. Updated: Jan 29, 2010</ref>
*Fiberglass mesh<ref>[[Fiberglass mesh]] Fiberglass mesh</ref> is a neatly woven, crisscross pattern of fiberglass thread that can be used to create new products such as door screens, filtration components, and reinforced adhesive tapes. It is commonly sprayed with a [[Polyvinyl chloride|PVC coating]] to make it stronger, last longer, and to prevent [[Fibreglass #Health problems|skin irritation]].
*Coiled wire fabric is a type of mesh that is constructed by interlocking metal wire coils via a simple corkscrew method. The resulting spirals are then woven together to create a flexible metal fabric panel. Coiled wire fabric mesh is a product that is used by architects to design commercial and residential structures. It is also used in industrial settings to protect personnel and contain debris. Additionally, coiled wire fabric mesh is used for zoo enclosures, typically aviary and small mammal exhibits. <ref>[https://www.constructionspecifier.com/the-art-of-coiled-wire-fabric-flexibility-and-form-on-a-large-scale/ >The Art of Coiled Wire Fabric: Flexibility and form on a large scale] Author: Andrew Schoenheit. Updated: Apr 30,2015</ref>

==Uses==
* Meshes are often used to screen out insects. [[Window screen|Wire screens]] on [[window]]s and [[mosquito net]]ting are meshes.
* Wire screens can be used to shield against [[radio frequency]] radiation, e.g. in [[microwave oven]]s and [[Faraday cage]]s.
* Metal and nylon wire mesh filters are used in [[Water purification|filtration]].
* Wire mesh is used in guarding for secure areas and as protection in the form of [[Vandalism|vandal]] screens.
* Wire mesh can be fabricated to produce park benches, [[waste basket]]s and other baskets for material handling.
* Woven meshes are basic to [[screen printing]].
* [[Surgical mesh]] is used to provide a reinforcing structure in surgical procedures like inguinal hernioplasty, and umbilical hernia repair.
* Meshes are used as drum heads in practice and electronic drum sets.
* [[Fence]] for [[livestock]] or [[poultry]] ([[chicken wire]] or hardware cloth)
* Humane animal trapping uses woven or welded wire mesh cages ([[chicken wire]] or hardware cloth) to trap wild animals like raccoons and skunks in populated areas.
* Meshes can be used for eyes in masks.
