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 44.199.0.0/16 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 12:56, 12 May 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.

'''Pilton''' is a residential area of northern [[Edinburgh]], [[Scotland]].<ref>[https://www.scottish-places.info/features/featurefirst8107.html Pilton], [[Gazetteer for Scotland]]</ref> It is to the north of [[Ferry Road]], immediately east of [[Muirhouse]], and to the west and south of [[Granton, Edinburgh|Granton]] (the Boswall, Royston Mains and Wardieburn neighbourhoods).

==Description==
Sometimes considered to be part of the larger neighbouring area of Granton, Pilton consists of two housing schemes - West Pilton and East Pilton. These neighbourhoods, particularly West Pilton,<ref>[https://www.scottish-places.info/features/featurefirst9289.html West Pilton], [[Gazetteer for Scotland]]</ref> are regarded as among the most economically deprived areas in [[Edinburgh]] and suffer from high crime rates and [[anti-social behaviour]] especially young joyriders stealing powerful motorbikes and cars, or otherwise damaging vehicles.<ref>((cite web|url=http://www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/news/crime/joyriders-making-pilton-wild-west-of-edinburgh-1-3469677 |title=Joyriders making Pilton 'Wild West' of Edinburgh -|publisher= Edinburgh Evening News |date=2014-07-08 |access-date=2018-12-28))</ref><ref>[https://www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/news/crime/residents-say-area-getting-out-hand-after-car-flipped-pilton-878300 Residents say area is getting 'out of hand' after car is flipped in Pilton], Edinburgh Evening News, 7 November 2019</ref>

Most of West Pilton was formerly social housing constructed by the council between the 1930s and 1950s (with a hiatus during the [[Second World War]]) but now these properties are largely privately owned. The housing mostly takes the form of [[Apartment#Maisonette|maisonette]]s and three storey blocks of flats.<ref>[https://canmore.org.uk/site/69976/edinburgh-west-pilton-general Edinburgh, West Pilton, General], [[Canmore (database)|Canmore]]</ref> There are also two 1960s ten-storey [[tower blocks]] (Inchcolm Court and Inchgarvie Court)<ref>[https://canmore.org.uk/site/300013/edinburgh-west-pilton-grove Edinburgh, West Pilton Grove], [[Canmore (database)|Canmore]]</ref><ref>[https://www.towerblock.eca.ed.ac.uk/development/west-pilton-grove West Pilton Grove], Tower Block ((!))

[[University of Edinburgh]]</ref> In addition, new housing developments have been built by the private sector and the area is currently((when|date=March 2021)) undergoing revitalisation. There are local shops and community services.<ref>[https://www.joininedinburgh.org/organisation/29/ West Pilton Neighbourhood Centre], Joined In Edinburgh (Community Learning)</ref><ref>[https://www.ypeople.org.uk/our-work/accommodation/pilton/ Pilton], Y People</ref>

Built on the lands of East Pilton Farm in the 1930s<ref>[https://www.scottish-places.info/features/featurefirst9290.html East Pilton], [[Gazetteer for Scotland]]</ref> by [[Glasgow]]-based builder Mactaggart & Mickel to a street layout by the Edinburgh City Architect [[Ebenezer James MacRae]], the streets of East Pilton mainly take various names beginning Crewe or Pilton. The original estate comprises mostly [[Cottage flats|four-in-a-block]] flatted villas<ref>[https://www.britainfromabove.org.uk/en/image/SAR029101 SAR029101 SCOTLAND (1957).

==Sport==
[[Spartans F.C.]] are based in the area, playing off Pilton Drive at [[Ainslie Park]] since 2008; a public leisure centre of the same name is immediately adjacent to the ground. Their previous home [[City Park, Edinburgh|City Park]] was two blocks to the south-east – housing now occupies the site.
