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 44.199.0.0/16 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 12:56, 12 May 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.

'''Roxburgh and Berwickshire''' was a [[county constituency]] of the [[House of Commons of the United Kingdom|House of Commons]] of the [[Parliament of the United Kingdom]] ([[Palace of Westminster|Westminster]]) from 1983 to 2005.  It elected one [[Member of Parliament (United Kingdom)|Member of Parliament]] (MP) by the [[first past the post]] voting system.

==Boundaries==
'''1983–1997''': Roxburgh District, and Berwickshire District.

'''1997–2005''': Roxburgh District, Berwickshire District, and the Ettrick and Lauderdale District electoral division of Scott's View.

The constituency was defined by the Third Periodical Review of the [[Boundary Commission for Scotland]], and first used in the [[1983 United Kingdom general election|1983 general election]]. The name of the constituency relates it to the [[Roxburgh]] and [[Berwickshire]] districts of the [[Borders (local government region of Scotland)|Borders]] [[Regions and districts of Scotland|region]], which were created in 1975, under the [[Local Government (Scotland) Act 1973]].

By the time of the Third Periodical Review, Scottish [[Counties of Scotland|counties]] and [[burgh]]s had been abolished by the same legislation which created regions and districts, and earlier constituencies had been defined by the Second Periodical Review, with reference to county and burgh boundaries, results being implemented for the [[February 1974 United Kingdom general election|February 1974 general election]]. The [[county of Roxburgh]] was covered by the [[Roxburgh, Selkirk and Peebles (UK Parliament constituency)|Roxburgh, Selkirk and Peebles]] constituency, and the [[county of Berwick]] was covered by the [[Berwick and East Lothian (UK Parliament constituency)|Berwick and East Lothian]] constituency.

In 1996, under the [[Local Government etc (Scotland) Act 1994]], regions and districts were abolished and the [[Scottish Borders]] [[Council areas of Scotland|council area]] was created with the boundaries of the former Borders region.

The results of the Fourth Periodical Review were implemented for the [[1997 United Kingdom general election|1997 general election]].

When the constituency was abolished, as a result of the Fifth Periodical Review, [[Berwickshire, Roxburgh and Selkirk (UK Parliament constituency)|Berwickshire, Roxburgh and Selkirk]] was created, and first used in the [[2005 United Kingdom general election|2005 general election]], as one of six constituencies covering the [[Dumfries and Galloway]], Scottish Borders, and [[South Lanarkshire]] council areas.
