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 54.163.0.0/16 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 17:28, 10 March 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.

In [[medicine]] and [[biology]], '''scatology''' or '''coprology''' is the study of [[faeces]].

Scatological studies allow one to determine a wide range of biological information about a creature, including its [[diet (nutrition)|diet]] (and thus [[habitat (ecology)|where it has been]]), [[health]] and [[disease]]s such as [[tapeworms]].

A comprehensive study of scatology was documented by [[John Gregory Bourke]] under the title ''((sic|hide=y|Scat|alogic)) Rites of All Nations'' (1891), with a 1913 German translation including a foreword by [[Sigmund Freud]]. An abbreviated version of the work was published as ''The Portable Scatalog'' in 1994.<ref>((cite book  | last = Kaplan  | first = Louis P.  | author-link = Sigmund Freud  | title = The Portable Scatalog  | publisher = William Morrow and Company  | date = 1994  | location = New York  | isbn = 0-688-13206-5))</ref>

== Etymology ==
The word derives from the [[Greek language|Greek]] ((lang|grc|σκῶρ)) (((small|[[Genitive case|GEN]])) ((lang|grc|σκατός))) meaning "dung, feces"; ''coprology'' derives from the Greek ((lang|grc|κόπρος)) of similar meaning.<ref>((LSJ|skw((=))r|σκῶρ)), ((LSJ|ko/pros|κόπρος|ref)).</ref><ref>((OEtymD|scatology))</ref><ref>((OEtymD|copro-))</ref>

== Psychology ==
In [[psychology]], a scatology is an obsession with [[excretion]] or [[excrement]], or the study of such obsessions.

In [[sexual fetishism]], scatology (usually abbreviated ''scat'') refers to [[coprophilia]], when someone is [[sexual arousal|sexually aroused]] by fecal matter, whether in the use of feces in various sexual acts, watching someone [[defecation|defecating]], or simply seeing the feces. Entire subcultures in sexuality are devoted to this fetish.((cn|date=September 2017))

== Literature ==
In [[literature]], "scatological" is a term to denote the literary [[Trope (literature)|trope]] of the [[grotesque body]]. It is used to describe works that make particular reference to excretion or excrement, as well as to [[toilet humour|toilet humor]]. Well known for his scatological tropes is the late medieval fictional character of [[Till Eulenspiegel]]. Another common example is [[John Dryden]]'s ''[[Mac Flecknoe]]'', a poem that employs extensive scatological imagery to ridicule Dryden's contemporary [[Thomas Shadwell]]. German literature is particularly rich in scatological texts and references, including such books as [[Collofino]]'s ''Non Olet''.<ref>((cite book | last = Dundes | first = Alan |author2=Carl R. Pagter  | title = Work hard and you shall be rewarded: urban folklore from the paperwork empire | publisher =[[Wayne State University Press]] | date = 1992 | pages = 75–80 | url = https://books.google.com/books?id=cFvY2jWqBlQC&q=strong+anal+component | isbn = 978-0-8143-2432-5))</ref> A case which has provoked an unusual amount of comment in the academic literature is [[Mozart and scatology|Mozart's scatological humour]].((Citation needed|date=July 2013)) Smith, in his review of English literature's representations of scatology from the Middle Ages to the 18th century, notes two attitudes towards scatology. One of these emphasises the merry and the carnivalesque. This is found in [[Geoffrey Chaucer|Chaucer]] and [[William Shakespeare|Shakespeare]]. The other attitude is one of self-disgust and misanthropy. This is found in the works of the [[John Wilmot, 2nd Earl of Rochester|Earl of Rochester]] and [[Jonathan Swift]].<ref>Smith (2012)</ref>
