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 44.197.0.0/16 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 10:52, 20 August 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.

'''James Sinclair Ross''', [[Order of Canada|CM]] (January 22, 1908 – February 29, 1996) was a Canadian banker and author, who wrote novels and short fiction about life on the [[Canadian Prairies]].<ref>Kent Mitchell, [http://www.thecanadianencyclopedia.ca/en/article/sinclair-ross/ "Sinclair Ross"]. ''[[The Canadian Encyclopedia]]'', April 10, 2008.</ref> He is best known for his first novel, ''[[As For Me and My House]]''.

==Life and career==
Ross was born on a [[Homestead (buildings)|homestead]] near [[Shellbrook, Saskatchewan]]. When he was seven, his parents separated, and he lived with his mother on a number of different farms during his childhood, going to school in [[Indian Head, Saskatchewan|Indian Head]], Saskatchewan. He left school after Grade 11 and in 1924 he joined the [[Union Bank of Canada]], which became part of the [[Royal Bank of Canada]] a year later. At first, he worked in a number of small towns in Saskatchewan, then moved to [[Winnipeg]], [[Manitoba]] in 1933 where he wrote and published his most famous novel ''As For Me and My House''. In 1946 he moved to [[Montreal]], [[Quebec]] after spending four years in the [[Canadian Army]] during World War II. He remained with the Royal Bank until his retirement in 1968, after which he spent some time in Spain and Greece before moving to a nursing home in [[Vancouver]], [[British Columbia]], where he lived until his death.

''As For Me and My House,'' set in an isolated town on the Prairies during the [[Great Depression]], was published in 1941. At first not much noticed, it went on to become a Canadian literary classic and set the precedent for the genre of Canadian prairie fiction. He wrote three more novels during his lifetime, as well as a few anthologies of short stories, none of which became as well known as his first novel. He is known to have destroyed manuscripts of novels that his publisher rejected, including a sequel to ''Sawbones Memorial''.

His short story "The Painted Door" was adapted by [[Atlantis Films]] as the short film ''[[The Painted Door]]'', which was an [[Academy Award]] nominee for [[Academy Award for Best Live Action Short Film|Best Live Action Short Film]] at the [[57th Academy Awards]] in 1985.<ref>((cite journal|title=Oscar Nominations Give Canada the Nod Once More|journal=Cinema Canada|date=March 1985|issue=116|page=48))</ref>

A monument in his honour has been erected in Indian Head by Saskatchewan artists and readers, with a bronze statue sculpted by [[Joe Fafard]].<ref>((cite encyclopedia | title = Ross, Sinclair (1908–96) | encyclopedia = Encyclopaedia of Saskatchewan | publisher = Canadian Plains Research Center, University of Regina | year = 2006 | url = http://esask.uregina.ca/entry/ross_sinclair_1908-96.html | accessdate = 2009-05-10 | archive-date = 2017-06-15 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20170615150904/http://esask.uregina.ca/entry/ross_sinclair_1908-96.html | url-status = dead ))</ref>

In 1992, he was made a Member of the [[Order of Canada]]. He died in 1996, having had  [[Parkinson's disease]], and was buried in Indian Head. The year after his death his [[homosexuality]] became public knowledge for the first time, as a result of [[Keath Fraser]]'s biography ''As For Me and My Body: A Memoir of Sinclair Ross'' (1997).<ref>[[Lorna Crozier]], [https://quillandquire.com/review/as-for-me-and-my-body-a-memoir-of-sinclair-ross/ "As for Me and My Body: A Memoir of Sinclair Ross"]. ''[[Quill & Quire]]'', March 1997.</ref>
