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 54.161.0.0/16 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 10:07, 1 October 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.

'''Robert Gruntal Nathan''' (January 2, 1894 – May 25, 1985) was an American novelist and poet.

==Biography==
Nathan was born into a prominent [[New York City|New York]] [[Spanish and Portuguese Jews|Sephardic]] family. He was educated in the United States and Switzerland and attended [[Harvard University]] for several years beginning in 1912. It was there that he began writing short fiction and poetry. However, he never graduated, choosing instead to drop out and take a job at an advertising firm to support his family (he married while a junior at Harvard). It was while working in 1919 that he wrote his first novel—the semi-autobiographical work ''Peter Kindred''—which was a critical failure. But his luck soon changed during the 1920s, when he wrote seven more novels, including ''The Bishop's Wife'', which was later made into a successful [[The Bishop's Wife|film]] starring [[Cary Grant]], [[David Niven]], and [[Loretta Young]] in 1947.

During the 1930s, his success continued with more works, including fictional pieces and poetry. His 1933 novel ''One More Spring'' was [[One More Spring|filmed in 1935]]. In 1940, he wrote his most successful book, ''[[Portrait of Jennie (novella)|Portrait of Jennie]]'', about a [[Great Depression|Depression]]-era artist and the woman he is painting, who is slipping through time. ''Portrait of Jennie'' is considered a modern masterpiece of fantasy fiction and was made into a [[Portrait of Jennie|film]], starring [[Jennifer Jones (actor)|Jennifer Jones]] and [[Joseph Cotten]].

In 1942 Nathan wrote a poem "Dunkirk: A Ballad", then became a screenwriter for [[MGM]], where he added additional poetry to update [[Alice Duer Miller]]'s poem for the film ''[[The White Cliffs of Dover (film)|The White Cliffs of Dover]]'' (1944). He then wrote the screenplay of ''[[The Clock (1945 film)|The Clock]]'' (1945), in which he had a cameo role. His screenplay for ''[[3 Godfathers (1948 film)|3 Godfathers]]'' (1948) was rejected,<ref>Lavy, Bill, ''John Ford: A Bio-bibliography'', annotated edition (Greenwood: 1998), p. 161.</ref> but he made contributions to the screenplay of ''[[Pagan Love Song]]'' (1950). 

In January 1956 the author wrote, as well as narrated, an episode of the ''[[CBS Radio Workshop]]'', called "A Pride of Carrots, or Venus Well-Served".

Nathan's seventh wife was the British actress [[Anna Lee]], to whom he was married from 1970 until his death. He came from a talented family—the activist [[Maud Nathan]] and author [[Annie Nathan Meyer]] were his aunts, and the poet [[Emma Lazarus]] and Supreme Court Justice [[Benjamin Cardozo]] his cousins.
