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.

'''Stippling''' is the creation of a pattern simulating varying [[Grayscale|degrees of solidity]] or shading by using small dots. Such a pattern may occur in nature and these effects are frequently emulated by artists.

((main|Stipple engraving))
In [[printmaking]], stipple engraving is a technique using flicks of the burin to build up the image in short lines or dots, often combined with conventional linear [[engraving]]. In [[engraved glass]] a similar stipple technique has often been popular.

In a [[drawing]] or [[painting]], the dots are made of [[pigment]] of a single colour, applied with a [[pen]] or [[brush]]; the denser the dots, the darker the apparent shade—or lighter, if the pigment is lighter than the surface.  This is similar to—but distinct from—[[pointillism]], which uses dots of different colours to simulate blended colours.<ref>((cite book | title=The Encyclopedia of Drawing Techniques| last=Ian Simpson| date=1987| pages=62–64| publisher=Headline| location=London| isbn=978-0-7472-0051-2))</ref>

In description of flora species, a stippling is a kind of pattern, especially in the case of flowering plants, produced in nature that occur on flower petals and sepals. These are similar to the dot patterns in artworks that produce an often intricate pattern. An example can be seen on the base of the petal insides of ''[[Calochortus luteus]]'', a [[lily]] endemic to [[California]].<ref>C. Michael Hogan. 2009. [http://www.globaltwitcher.com/artspec_information.asp?thingid=97686 ''Gold Nuggets: Calochortus luteus'', GlobalTwitcher.com, ed. N. Stromberg] ((Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111004094242/http://www.globaltwitcher.com/artspec_information.asp?thingid=97686 |date=2011-10-04 ))</ref>

==Other uses==
In [[forensic science]], stippling refers to a pattern of [[gunshot residue]] burned into the skin that results from close proximity to a discharged firearm. <ref>((cite web |url=https://adfs.alabama.gov/Glossary.aspx |title=Glossary of Forensic Terms |author=<!--Not stated--> |website=Alabama Department of Forensic Sciences|publisher= U.S. state government|access-date=18 August 2018))</ref>

In [[Gunsmith|gunsmithing]], stippling is used to engrave patterns on the firearms grip to provide a more solid grip by creating more friction.<ref>((cite web |url=https://www.pewpewtactical.com/how-to-stipple-a-glock/ |title=How to Stipple a Glock (And Not Ruin It) |author=Eric Hung |website=Pew Pew Tactical|publisher=Pew Pew Tactical|access-date= 22 August 2022))</ref> This modification is done only on pistols with polymer frames since they have one piece frames and solid grips, while steel framed pistols usually have a hollow grip with textured grip scales to provide friction. If the user is willing to take the possibility of failing the procedure and getting permanent, unwanted results they can stipple their own pistols since the procedure only requires either a [[soldering iron]] or a small, handheld [[Die grinder|rotary tool]] with [[Burr (cutter)|burr]] bits.
