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 44.201.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ 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. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host 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 web host'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 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 (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.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they 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 23:54, 31 July 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.

'''Sand Island''', formerly known as '''Quarantine Island''', is a small island within the city of [[Honolulu, Hawaii]], [[United States]]. The island lies at the entrance to [[Honolulu Harbor]].

==History==
[[File:Cell phone tower and homes as seen from Sand Island in Honolulu, Oahu.jpg|thumb|View from Sand Island]]
The island was known as Quarantine Island during the 19th century, when it was used to quarantine ships believed to carry contagious passengers.

During [[World War II]], Sand Island was used as an [[United States Army|Army]] [[internment]] camp to house [[Japanese American]]s as well as expatriates from Germany, Italy, and other [[Axis Powers|Axis]] countries living in Hawaii. The camp opened in December&nbsp;1941, soon after the Japanese [[attack on Pearl Harbor]] and the subsequent mass arrests of civilians accused—often without evidence—of espionage or other [[fifth column]] activity. Over 600 Hawaiian residents, many of them U.S. citizens, would pass through Sand Island before it was closed in March&nbsp;1943. Most of the internees had been transferred to Army and [[United States Department of Justice|Department of Justice]] internment camps on the mainland beginning in February&nbsp;1942; the remaining 149 were moved to the newly constructed [[Honouliuli National Historic Site|Honouliuli Internment Camp]].<ref>Rosenfeld, Alan. [http://encyclopedia.densho.org/Sand%20Island%20%28detention%20facility%29/ "Sand Island"] ''Densho Encyclopedia'' (accessed 17 Jun 2014)</ref><ref>((harvnb|Kashima|2003|pp=84–86))</ref>

During the 1970s, over 100 homeless native Hawaiians cleaned up the garbage that filled the island, built homes and took up residence. In the early 1980s, ((convert|180| acre|abbr=off)) of the island was reclaimed by the State of Hawaii for industrial and recreational development. Those who had taken up residence were evicted without compensation.<ref>''Indian Summer in Geneva'', Kisos Films, 1986.</ref> Today Sand Island is home to a state recreation area, a U.S. Coast Guard base, a wastewater treatment facility, and an assortment of industrial facilities.

Sand Island is experiencing an issue with homelessness. Residents and city leaders have proposed the creation of a homeless camp. This has been an ongoing issue for several years. Even though there is much opposition, the city has disclosed plans on how it hopes to handle controversial public behaviors by some of the homeless population on the island. Their next step is to approach the full council for consideration.<ref>((cite web|url=http://www.hawaiinewsnow.com/story/26400840/city-unveils-sand-island-homeless-plan|title=City unveils Sand Island homeless plan|first=Rick|last=Daysog|website=www.hawaiinewsnow.com))</ref>

==Geography and population==
[[File:Sand Island Beach, Oahu, Hawaii.jpg|thumb|Sand Island Beach]]
According to the [[United States Census Bureau]] the island has a land area of 203.78 [[Hectare|ha]] (0.7868 sq mi, or 503.55 [[acres]]) and a population of 184 persons as of the [[United States Census, 2000|2000 census]].<ref>((harvnb|US Census|2000))</ref>

==Climate==
Sand Island's climate is mild year-round, with very little seasonal difference in temperatures; however, there is a very distinct difference between the wet and dry season. Summer high temperatures range from 87 to 91&nbsp;°F (31 to 33&nbsp;°C), with winter highs ranging from 77 to 85&nbsp;°F (25 to 29&nbsp;°C). Precipitation is light year round, especially in the summer. There are approximately 3,100 hours of sunshine annually.
