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 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.

'''Richard Curwen Wordsworth''' (19 January 1915 &ndash; 21 November 1993) was an English [[character actor]].<ref>[https://www.independent.co.uk/news/people/obituary-richard-wordsworth-1507468.html ''Independent'' obituary 29 Nov 1993]</ref> He was the great-great-grandson of the poet [[William Wordsworth]].

As a young man he followed in the footsteps of his clergyman father, reading Divinity at [[University of Cambridge|Cambridge University]]. But he quickly found acting more to his taste and, after performing at the [[Footlights|Cambridge Footlights]], he decided to study drama at the [[Embassy Theatre (London)|Embassy School of Acting]] in London.

This proved an excellent choice. He quickly developed a talent for character acting which sustained him and his family through a long and richly varied career. In classical theatre he worked with [[John Gielgud]], [[Donald Wolfit]], [[Anthony Quayle]] and [[Richard Burton]]. After successful Shakespearian seasons at [[the Old Vic]] and [[Stratford-upon-Avon]], he starred in the musical ''[[Lock Up Your Daughters (musical)|Lock Up Your Daughters]]'' which launched the [[Mermaid Theatre]] in London. He also found success as Captain Hook in several Christmas productions of ''Peter Pan''. Later he would tour [[Australia]] as Fagin in the musical ''Oliver'' which he also produced.

His film career included a standout performance as the monstrous astronaut in ''[[The Quatermass Xperiment]]'', which launched [[Hammer Film Productions]]’ famous run as the UK’s foremost producers of horror movies. Later he played a scene as a sinister taxidermist with [[James Stewart]] (whom he described as 'a perfect gentleman') in [[Alfred Hitchcock]]'s second version of [[The Man Who Knew Too Much (1956 film)|''The Man Who Knew Too Much'']]. He also played leading parts in British TV dramas such as ''[[Huntingtower (novel)#Adaptations|Huntingtower]]'' and ''[[The Tripods (TV series)|The Tripods]]''.

In the final decades of his life he developed ''The Bliss of Solitude'' a one-man tribute to his great ancestor with which he toured Britain and the United States. He also founded the Wordsworth Summer School – a week of poetry, lectures and walks in his beloved [[Lake District]].
