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 44.201.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ 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. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host 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 web host'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 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 (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.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they 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 23:54, 31 July 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.

'''Nev the Bear''' is a small, blue [[puppet]] [[bear]] that originally appeared in the [[CBBC]] television programme ''[[Smile (British TV series)|Smile]]''. Since 2007, Nev has starred in his own CBBC show ''[[Bear Behaving Badly]]'', alongside [[Barney Harwood]]. His name was created from the name of his co-star [[Devin Griffin|Dev Griffin]] on ''[[Smile (UK TV series)|Smile]]''. He was last seen on [[Hacker Time]] when Derek puts Nev on Line 1 for Barney Harwood.<ref>((Citation |title=CBBC ((!)) Hacker Time - S02 Episode 4 (Barney Harwood) |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PhwLkgmoi0c |access-date=2023-08-10 |language=en))</ref> Nev has patches in places on his body and is missing part of his ear. This is due to Bandit the cat, who is seen in some episodes of ''Bear Behaving Badly'', biting it off.<ref>((Cite web |title=CBBC - Bear Behaving Badly - Episode guide |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00g9blr/episodes/guide |access-date=2023-08-10 |website=BBC |language=en-GB))</ref>

Nev likes [[ice cream]], [[jam]], and [[Rubber duck|ducks]] (his favourite toy duck being Snuggly Ducky Duck Duck). When scared or intimidated, he growls, just like a real bear would. Originally on ''Smile'', the voice of Nev was prerecorded with his limited vocabulary being played in as appropriate. When Nev took on a more significant role in ''Smile'', puppeteer Ross Mullan, who also stars in ''Bear Behaving Badly'', was recruited to provide the voice live.

On 28 December 2007, Nev appeared on a puppet special of ''[[The Weakest Link (British game show)|The Weakest Link]]'' hosted by [[Anne Robinson]] and broadcast on [[BBC One]], but was eliminated in the fourth round of play, and as hinted in his post-elimination interview, he has a crush on both [[Soo (puppet)|Soo]] and host [[Anne Robinson]]. In 2004, a soft plush Nev was released, but was only available in a few stores.

In 2005, a talking Nev was released, speaking a number of catch phrases upon pressing the toy's paw. Catchphrases the toy said included "Fwightened", "Chipadia" and "No no no no". A complaint was made against the toy with regard to the word "Quick", by an individual who believed she had heard a similar-sounding profanity instead.<ref>((Cite web|url=http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/tm_headline=teddy-swear&method=full&objectid=18196100&siteid=66633-name_page.html|title=Teddy Swear|work=Daily Record|date=2 December 2007 |access-date=4 January 2008 ))</ref>  The toy also moves its head and mouth when talking.

A smaller version of the soft toy has since been released with more limited speech, only capable of saying 'Excuse me, can't scare me!' upon squeezing the toy's tummy.
