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.

'''Mutt''' is a fictional character from the [[G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero]] toyline, comic books and animated series. He is the [[G.I. Joe Team]]'s dog handler ([[Police dog|K-9]]), and debuted in 1984.

==Profile==
Mutt's real name is given as Stanley R. Perlmutter, and his rank that of army specialist SP-4 (E-4). He is a native of [[Iselin, New Jersey]]. His primary military specialty is dog handler and his secondary military specialty is infantry.  On some occasions his rank is given as ([[staff sergeant]]) E-6.

Mutt is characterized as a natural with animals and as having had several pet dogs in his youth, which he trained exceptionally well. The smartest of these was Junkyard, who accompanied Mutt into the army.  It is suggested that Junkyard is more popular than his master, since he is friendlier than Mutt.  Following the retirement from service of the initial Junkyard, his offspring Junkyard II - who is as loyal, smart, and well-trained as his sire - is now Mutt's partner.<ref name="Hidalgo 2009 52">((cite book |title= G.I.

The two had traveled there to visit Mutt's family and friends and were on hand to fight a Cobra takeover.

With the assistance of the others and Junkyard Junior, the Cobras are forced to flee town. Again, other Joes find no evidence of Cobra activity; it is the veteran status of the four that keep them from real trouble.<ref>''G.I. Joe A Real American Hero'' #15, (Feb 2002)</ref> Confirmation comes much later when an anonymous tip leads Joes to uncover more Cobra influence in Delhi Hills.<ref>"G.I.
