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 75.101.128.0/17 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪JJMC89‬ 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 05:39, 2 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.

'''Eugene Wesley''' "'''Rod'''" '''Roddenberry Jr.''' (born February 5, 1974)<ref>((Cite web |title=Barrett |url=https://www.startrek.com/database_article/barrett |access-date=2022-11-01 |website=Star Trek |language=en))</ref> is an American television producer and the chief executive officer of Roddenberry Entertainment. He is the son of ''[[Star Trek]]'' creator [[Gene Roddenberry]] and [[Majel Barrett]] and is an executive producer on  ''[[Star Trek: Discovery]]'', ''[[Star Trek: Picard]]'', ''[[Star Trek: Lower Decks]]'', ''[[Star Trek: Prodigy]]'' and ''[[Star Trek: Strange New Worlds]]''.

==Early life==
Roddenberry was born in [[Los Angeles, California]], the son of actress [[Majel Barrett]] and writer and producer [[Gene Roddenberry]], creator of the American science fiction series ''[[Star Trek]]''.<ref name="USAToday">((Cite news |last=Truitt |first=Brian |date=November 28, 2011 |title=Roddenberry put 'Star Trek' light-years ahead |work=[[USA Today]] |url=https://www.usatoday.com/life/television/news/story/2011-11-28/roddenberry-star-trek-documentary/51448162/1))</ref> Roddenberry went to the [[John Thomas Dye School]] in [[Bel Air, Los Angeles|Bel Air]] and [[Harvard-Westlake School]] in [[North Hollywood]].<ref>((Cite web |title=Where SciFi Begins |url=http://www.roddenberry.com/?action=site.eugene |access-date=July 17, 2012 |publisher=Roddenberry.com))</ref> and then attended [[Hampshire College]] in the early 1990s.

As a young man, Roddenberry was not closely familiar with ''Star Trek'', having never even watched it. In 1991, when he was 17 years old, his father died, after which he began to examine ''Star Trek'' and discover "what made the series special" to its fans.<ref>((Cite news |last=Vakkalanka |first=Harshnini |date=July 12, 2012 |title=Trekking to a new world |work=[[The Hindu]] |url=http://www.thehindu.com/arts/radio-and-tv/article3632108.ece))</ref> Roddenberry struggled initially with his father's near-legendary stature among ''Star Trek'' fans, commenting: "A son cannot identify with a mythical figure; my father was put up on this pedestal throughout my life." However, as Roddenberry heard many moving stories about his father's flaws and follies, he observed, "That allowed me, as a son, not just to connect with him, but actually love him."<ref name=USAToday/>

==Career==
[[File:Rod and Heidi Roddenberry.jpeg|right|thumb|upright|Roddenberry with his wife, Heidi.]]
In 2001, Roddenberry became chief executive officer of Roddenberry Entertainment, which builds upon his father's work, and develops multimedia science fiction properties including comics, television and film projects.<ref name="Rod-bio">((Cite web |last=Eugene "Rod" Roddenberry |date=April 23, 2010 |title=Bios: Eugene "Rod" Roddenberry |url=http://www.roddenberry.com/corporate-rod-biography |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120813165541/http://www.roddenberry.com/corporate-rod-biography |archive-date=August 13, 2012 |access-date=July 17, 2012 |publisher=Roddenberry.com |df=mdy-all))</ref>

In mid-2009, the ''[[Los Angeles Times]]'' reported that Roddenberry approved of the 2009 ''[[Star Trek (film)|Star Trek]]'' film by J.J. Abrams. Roddenberry opined that the producers and writers "made ''Star Trek'' cool again" with the film.<ref name="LATimes">((Cite news |last=Whitmore |first=Linda |date=August 6, 2009 |title=The Roddenberry stamp of approval |work=[[The Los Angeles Times]] |url=https://articles.latimes.com/2009/aug/06/entertainment/et-herorefer6 |url-status=dead |access-date=April 17, 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130415035241/http://articles.latimes.com/2009/aug/06/entertainment/et-herorefer6 |archive-date=April 15, 2013))</ref>

In 2010, Roddenberry, an avid scuba diver since 1993, founded the Roddenberry Dive Team, to allow people "to embark on undersea experiences and discover the diversity beneath the ocean." Roddenberry leads the dive team in its exploration of underwater worlds and hopes to inspire stewardship of the world's oceans. Roddenberry, who holds a Divemaster certification, has led or participated in more than 1,000 dives from exotic locations around the world.<ref name=USAToday/><ref name="Rod-bio" />

In October 2011, the Roddenberry Foundation, which was founded by Rod Roddenberry, made its largest gift of $5 million to the [[J. David Gladstone Institutes]] in San Francisco to establish the Roddenberry Center for Stem Cell Biology and Medicine.<ref name=USAToday/> The Roddenberry Foundation believes that "the center's innovative technology that converts adult skin cells into life-changing stem cells will radically advance the fight against Alzheimer's and heart disease."<ref>((Cite web |title=Gladstone Institutes Announces Roddenberry Center for Stem Cell Biology and Medicine |url=https://www.roddenberry.com/index.php/corporatestories/index/detail/id/57 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130405043904/https://www.roddenberry.com/index.php/corporatestories/index/detail/id/57 |archive-date=April 5, 2013 |access-date=2013-05-23 |df=mdy-all))</ref><!--SECONDARY SOURCE REQUIRED FOR THIS!
