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 18.208.0.0/16 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 01:01, 24 April 2026.

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.

'''Nicolas Desmaretz, marquis de Maillebois''' (10 September 1648, [[Paris]] &ndash; 4 May 1721, [[Paris]]) was a [[Controller-General of Finances]]<ref>((Cite book |last=Hurt |first=John J. |url=https://www.worldcat.org/oclc/58478665 |title=Louis XIV and the parlements : the assertion of royal authority |date=2003 |publisher=[[Manchester University Press]] |isbn=0-7190-6980-7 |location=Manchester |pages=99 |oclc=58478665))</ref> during the reign of [[Louis XIV of France]].<ref>((Cite book |last1=Hoffman |first1=Philip T. |url=https://www.worldcat.org/oclc/45629735 |title=Priceless markets : the political economy of credit in Paris, 1660-1870 |last2=Postel-Vinay |first2=Gilles |last3=Rosenthal |first3=Jean-Laurent |date=2000 |publisher=[[University of Chicago Press]] |isbn=9780226348018 |location=Chicago |pages=72 |oclc=45629735))</ref>
Desmaretz was a nephew of [[Jean-Baptiste Colbert]].<ref>((Cite book |last=Le Sage |first=Alain René |url=https://www.worldcat.org/oclc/847541961 |title=Turcaret |date=2013 |publisher=[[Cambridge University Press]] |others=A.

F. |title=Louis XIV and the Land of Love and Adventure : 1700 to 1715 |asin=B07SXCTJ8D))</ref>  Taken out of school at age 15 to work in his uncle's offices as Controller-General of Finances, he rose to become an [[intendant of finances]] in 1678 and his uncle's principal assistant in 1683.  He was exiled in December 1683 shortly after Colbert's death, however, after being accused of taking bribes and kickbacks in a government contract to mint money.  After returning to Paris in 1686, Desmaretz wrote a series of memoranda for his family members who were still in the government recommending new tax policies in the face of the deplorable economic situation of [[France]].

Desmaretz was made director of finances in 1703 and replaced [[Michel Chamillart]] as controller general in 1708.<ref>((Cite book |last=Clement |first=Jean-Pierre |title=Histoire de La Vie et de L'Administration de Colbert |publisher=[[Library of Alexandria]] |isbn=9781465535771))</ref>  Desmaretz undertook several policies aimed at restoring France's financial status while in office, including postponing repayment of loans, securing lower interest rates on certain loans, creating a royal lottery, devaluing metal currency, and instituting a ten percent tax on the income produced by property ownership in 1710.  Desmaretz was working on a method for repaying France's debts when Louis XIV died on 1 September 1715.  He  was dismissed from office after Louis XIV's death that year.

His son [[Jean-Baptiste François des Marets, marquis de Maillebois|Jean-Baptiste Francois Desmaretz, Marquis de Maillebois]] became a [[Marshal of France]] in 1741.<ref>((Cite journal |last=Military Service Institution of the United States |date=1879 |title=Journal of the Military Service Institution of the United States. |url=https://www.worldcat.org/oclc/1605332 |journal=Journal of the Military Service Institution of the United States. |language=English |volume=27 |pages=393 |oclc=1605332))</ref>
