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 3.95.0.0/16 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 08:49, 2 November 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.

((Short description|American film critic))
((more citations needed|date = February 2021))
'''Stuart Byron''' (May 9, 1941 – December 13, 1991) was an American film critic and gay rights activist.<ref name="Wesleyan1">((cite web|url = https://www.wesleyan.edu/cinema/collections/byron.html|title = The Stuart Byron Collection|website = [[Wesleyan University]]|accessdate = February 23, 2021))</ref>

He attended public schools in New York, then matriculated at [[Wesleyan University]] - studying history and joining EQV Fraternity before graduating in 1963.<ref>((Cite web|url=http://www.eqv.name/biographies/Bios_im.htm#_Toc128728362|title=Bios in Memoriam HTM))</ref>  For two years after graduation he was associate editor of the Independent Film Journal, then spent several years as a publicist for [[Pathé]] and [[Embassy Pictures|Avco/Embassy]], plus a year as assistant to the president for motion pictures at Natoma Productions. In 1982, Byron moved from New York to Los Angeles to take on the position of creative affairs executive for [[Ray Stark]] at Rastar Productions until 1984.<ref name="Wesleyan1" />

In the 1960s, Byron worked for a year as a reporter and reviewer for ''[[Variety (magazine)|Variety]]'', and in 1971 he became the film-review columnist for ''[[The Village Voice]]'' at a time when the American film art and the dialogue surrounding it were being completely revised.<ref>((cite news|url = http://bostonreview.net/jonathan-kirshner-pauline-kael-roger-ebert-film-criticism|title = When Critics Mattered|last = Kirshner|first = Jonathan|date = March 1, 2012|accessdate = February 23, 2021|work = [[Boston Review]]))</ref> Byron's resume, and his platform at the culturally-influential weekly made certain his voice was heard among the new wave of film-critics.  Indeed, his substantial essays also frequently began to appear in ''[[On Film]]'', ''[[Film Comment]]'', ''[[Rolling Stone]]'', ''[[The New York Times]]'', ''[[Harper's]]'', ''Movie'', ''Creem'', and ''[[New York (magazine)|New York]]'', among others.  Byron also became well known for his "World's Hardest Movie Quiz" features in ''The Village Voice'' (which briefly returned to the paper in his memory from 1999 to 2004), and later for his "Rules of the Game" columns.  He also achieved national notoriety for remarks made in 1981, when he accused critic [[Pauline Kael]] of making homophobic comments in her reviews.<ref>https://www.gayinla.com/index.php/events/today-in-gay-history/12105-today-in-gay-history-september-03-2001 ((Dead link|date=February 2022))</ref><ref>((cite news|url = https://www.salon.com/2004/06/25/seligman/|title = The gay attacks on Pauline Kael|work = [[Salon (website)|Salon]]|date = June 25, 2004|accessdate = February 23, 2021))</ref>

He is the co-editor (with Elisabeth Weis) of the book "The National Society of Film Critics on Movie Comedy", published in 1976.

Byron was one of the first openly gay film critics in New York,<ref>((cite news|url = https://www.nytimes.com/1971/08/15/archives/healthy.html|title = Movie mailbag|work = [[The New York Times]]|date = August 15, 1971|accessdate = February 23, 2021))</ref> coming-out publicly in one of his first reviews in the ''Village Voice'' (February 18, 1971). He was active in the [[Gay Activists Alliance]] as well as [[National LGBTQ Task Force|National Gay Task Force]].  Aside from a brief sojourn in Boston, he was a New York City resident until 1982, when he moved to Los Angeles to work for Stark.  Although he returned to writing in 1984, he remained in California for the rest of his life; his work regularly appeared in ''[[LA Weekly]]'', and the gay news magazine ''[[The Advocate (LGBT magazine)|The Advocate]]''.  He died December 13, 1991, from complications resulting from [[AIDS]].

His papers are held at the Wesleyan Film Archives at Wesleyan University.
