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 44.200.0.0/16 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 16:45, 10 February 2025.

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.

'''Riva''' was a Croatian [[Pop music|pop]] band formed in [[Zadar]] in 1986.

After forming in 1986, the band appeared on Zagrebfest 1988, Performing with the song "Zadnja Suza" ("Last Tear" in Croatian). 

Their song "[[Rock Me (Riva song)|Rock Me]]" won the [[Eurovision Song Contest 1989]] in [[Switzerland]], with a score of 137 points. According to author John Kennedy O'Connor in ''The Eurovision Song Contest&nbsp;&ndash; The Official History'', it was an unexpected win.<ref>O'Connor, John Kennedy The Eurovision Song Contest&nbsp;&ndash; The Official History. Carlton Books, UK. 2007 ((ISBN|978-1-84442-994-3))</ref> The band brought the first and only victory for Yugoslavia. The contest was then hosted in [[Zagreb]], representing [[Yugoslav Radio Television|Yugoslav Radio]] Television.

After the success, they released two subsequent albums, one titled after their winning track "[[Rock Me (Riva song)|Rock Me]]" (1989) and "Srce Laneta" ("''Deer Fawn's Heart"'' in Croatian) in 1990. 

Shortly after the success of both albums, the band signed to a Swiss Agency where they started production on their planned 3rd album titled "''Lude Glave, Lude Godine"'' (''"Crazy Heads, Crazy Years"'' in Croatian) with [[Per Gessle]] of popular pop rock duo [[Roxette]] to be featured with whom they were supposed to be opening acts for on a world tour. 

Disagreements arose when the Swiss Agency misrepresented the validity of [[Croatia]] as a then recently independent country, opting for the band to remain as being from Yugoslavia for press purposes as well as the bands performances focusing on humanitarian issues in [[Croatia]] to help victims of the [[Yugoslav Wars]].   

Feeling betrayed by the agency's portrayal of what was happening in their hometown at the time the members cut all ties with the agency, with frontwoman [[Emilija Kokić]] stating in a 2019 interview :  

''"We come from Zadar, our families are huddled in basements because grenades of the Serbian army are falling on Zadar, and we would act like Yugoslavians How? That would be the biggest betrayal! They would become people to whom a career means more than anything".''   

After the resignation, the planned album which was scheduled for release remained unreleased with only 3 songs from the album being available from their performance at the Croatian Eurovision preselection Dora in 1993.   

During 1991 the band decided to have a hiatus originally planned to be short, which ended up being the end of Riva as members focused on their own personal lives with only very few small reunions taking place between 1993 and 2016.
