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 34.200.0.0/16 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 05:16, 2 September 2025.

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.

'''Sid Williams Richardson''' (April 25, 1891 – September 30, 1959) was an American businessman and [[philanthropist]] known for his association with the city of [[Fort Worth, Texas|Fort Worth]].<ref name="bio">((Cite web|url=https://spartacus-educational.com/JFKrichardsonS.htm|title=Sid Richardson|website=Spartacus Educational|access-date=November 22, 2019))</ref>

==Life and career==
A native of [[Athens, Texas|Athens]] in east Texas, Richardson attended [[Baylor University]] and [[Hardin-Simmons University|Simmons College]] from 1910 to 1912.<ref name=":0">((Cite web|url=https://www.hsutx.edu/about-hsu/sid-w-richardson/|title=Sid W. Richardson|website=Hardin-Simmons University|access-date=November 22, 2019))</ref> With borrowed money, he and a business partner, [[Clint Murchison Sr.]], amassed $1&nbsp;million in the oil business in 1919–1920, but then watched their fortunes wane with the oil market, until business again boomed in 1933.

Richardson was president of Sid Richardson Gasoline Co. in [[Kermit, Texas|Kermit]], Sid Richardson Carbon Company in [[Odessa, Texas|Odessa]], and Sid W. Richardson, Inc., in [[Fort Worth, Texas|Fort Worth]], and was a partner in Fort Worth-based Richardson and Bass Oil Producers.<ref name="bio" />

He began ranching in the 1930s and developed a love of [[American West|Western]] art, particularly that of [[Frederic Remington]] and [[Charles M. Russell]]. He built one of the largest private collections of these artists' work, which opened to the public as the Sid Richardson Collection of Western Art in 1982.  After a yearlong renovation, it reopened as the [[Sid Richardson Museum]] in 2006.

Richardson had already given numerous scholarships and gifts to local organizations when friend [[Amon G. Carter]] persuaded him to establish the [[Sid W. Richardson Foundation]] in 1947. The foundation awards grants to Texas organizations in the areas of education, health, human services, and cultural institutions; grants in the latter two categories are restricted to groups in the [[Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex]] area. The foundation's Fort Worth headquarters shares a building with the Sid Richardson Museum.

Upon his death aged 68 in 1959, Richardson, a bachelor, bequeathed a large portion of his estate to his foundation, and left several million dollars to his [[nephew]]-partner, [[Perry Richardson Bass]]. Richardson named [[John B. Connally]], the future Texas [[governor]], as co-executor of the estate, a designation which provided Connally with steady income for years thereafter.((citation needed|date=January 2013))

He also bought and donated land for the Sid Richardson Boy Scout Camp.
