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.

[[File:Stamp Madeira 1868 20r imperf.jpg|right|upright|thumb|The first stamp of Madeira, overprint on a stamp of Portugal, 1868. 20 reis]]

On 1 January 1868, [[Portugal]] issued [[postage stamp]]s for the islands of [[Madeira]], consisting of the current stamps of Portugal [[overprint]]ed "MADEIRA". Subsequent stamps were also overprinted, through 1881.

Unoverprinted Portuguese stamps were used from 1881 to 1892. From 1892 to 1905, while the administrative title of Madeira was changed to the District of Funchal, definitive stamps were issued with the inscription "Funchal". 

In 1898 a series of stamps commemorating Vasco da Gama was issued with the inscription "Madeira". Subsequently Madeira used stamps of Portugal from 1905, with two exceptions; the first was the [[Pombal Issue]] of [[postal tax stamp]]s in 1925, and a variant on the [[Ceres series (Portugal)|Ceres]] design, issued 1 May 1928.
The 21 values of Ceres stamps were obligatory on all mail for eight days – 1 May, 5 June, 1 July, and 31 December 1928, and 1 January, 31 January, 1 May, and 5 June 1929. The funds raised went to help build a museum.

The Ceres stamps were the last to be produced for Madeira until 1980, when Portugal began issuing stamps inscribed "Portugal Madeira" that were valid in both Madeira and continental Portugal, similar to those issued for the [[Azores]].

==Funchal==
[[Image:Stamp Funchal 1892 25r.jpg|right|upright|thumb|25 reis, 1892, used in 1894; an "S." is visible for the town name, presumably indicating one of Funchal's boroughs.]]

[[Postage stamp]]s for '''[[Funchal]]''' inscribed with the city's name were issued for use in the archipelago of [[Madeira]] from 1892 to 1905 by the postal authorities of [[Portugal]]. During this time Madeira was administratively referred to as the District of Funchal. From 1868 to 1881 Madeira had used overprinted stamps of Portugal.<ref>Gibbons, "Portuguese Colonies"</ref><ref name = sandafayre>((cite web | url = https://www.sandafayre.com/philatelicarticles/madeira.html | title = The Island of Madeira | publisher = Sandafayre (Holdings) Ltd. | place = Knutsford | year = 2012))</ref>

Beginning in 1868, postage stamps for Madeira were issued for the postal needs of the island group with its capital Funchal. Unoverprinted Portuguese stamps were used from 1881 to 1892. From 1892 to 1905, while the administrative title of Madeira was changed to the District of Funchal,<ref name = sandafayre/> [[definitive stamp]]s were issued with the inscription "Funchal". These were valid all over the island. While in 1898 a series of stamps commemorating [[Vasco da Gama]] was issued with the inscription "Madeira", unoverprinted [[Postage stamps and postal history of Portugal|stamps of Portugal]] were used in the archipelago again from 1905.

===Issues===
The first series of eight stamps inscribed "Funchal" was produced in 1892. The [[Relief printing|typographed]] stamps, engraved by Manuel Diogo Neto, had face values ranging from 5 [[Portuguese real|reis]] to 80 reis. Four more stamps with higher face values from 100 reis to 300 reis were issued in the following year, as well as a 5 reis stamp. In 1896 the 100 reis stamp was officially [[Bisects and splits|bisected]] in order to frank [[Wrapper (philately)|newspaper wrappers]] and letters.<ref name="Scott">((cite book | title = Standard Postage Stamp Catalogue 2007 | url = https://archive.org/details/isbn_9780894873997 | url-access = registration | publisher = Scott | place = New York | year = 2006))</ref>

[[File:Funchal 1897 Sc1334.jpg | thumb|1897 stamps for Funchal]]
A new series of stamps, engraved by [[Louis-Eugène Mouchon]], was issued in 1897 and supplemented by additional values in 1898, 1899 and 1905. It comprised 19 nominals ranging from 2½ reis to 500 reis. Again, the 100 reis stamp was officially bisected for use on letters. These stamps were of the general single-colour design for Portuguese stamps at the time, but with the name "Funchal" and the value figure printed in black (on two values, in red). The 25 reis value was issued in 1899 in [[Postage stamp booklet|booklets]] containing six stamps each.<ref name="Scott"/>

Not counting [[Postage stamp separation|perforation varieties]], bisects, and booklets, 34 different stamps were issued for Funchal, all of them showing the portrait of [[Carlos I of Portugal|King Carlos I]].
