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.

== Copy editing notes ==

Hi there! As a member of the [[WP:GOCE|Guild of Copy Editors]], I've copy edited this article because it was requested by ((u|PanagiotisZois)). These are the notes I've written as I edit. They aren't in any particular order, and—of course—they are just my opinion.

* The caption of the first image feels a bit long; maybe the ((tl|Multiple image)) template could help (see example). I'm not sure that I like this better than the current version, but it may be worth thinking about.
((Multiple image|
| direction = vertical
| image1 = Prince adam (14911683433) (cropped).jpg
| caption1 = [[Cosplayer]] dressed as He-Man at [[New York Comic Con]] 2014
| image2 = Alexsander Freitas 2.jpg
| caption2 = [[List of actors in gay pornographic films|Gay porn star]] Alexsander Freitas at the [[Folsom Street Fair]] 2010, wearing a similar [[bondage harness]]. Such harnesses were considered, particularly in the 1980s, as [[homoerotic]]; this aspect of He-Man's appearance has been cited as an example of [[queer coding]].<ref name="CBR"/>
))
* ((xt|He-Man and the Heroic Warriors battle against the forces of the evil [[Skeletor]] and strive to protect the secrets of [[Castle Grayskull]] from his clutches.<ref name="Daily Dot">((cite web |last1=Bond |first1=John-Michael |date=April 4, 2018 |title='Masters of the Universe' is getting an epic reboot |url=https://www.dailydot.com/parsec/masters-of-the-universe-movie/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210423152348/https://www.dailydot.com/parsec/masters-of-the-universe-movie/ |archive-date=April 23, 2021 |access-date=January 8, 2022 |website=[[The Daily Dot]]))</ref>))
** Who are the Heroic Warriors?
* ((xt|Regarding this, Dennis says that even in cartoons that lack a same-sex pairing, readers may interpret a queer identity in a character such as He-Man, who "was muscular and never dated girls".((sfn|Sears|2005|page=136))))
** I'm unable to access this source myself, so I understand if this needs to be reverted/changed. The intent here was to simplify the sentence and add a clear subject (instead of "it is possible")
* I altered the job titles for most people ("and author" is redundant/doesn't inform the reader, in my opinion)
* ((xt|Gay clone culture was characterized by a [[Butch (lesbian slang)|butch]] and masculine look, a muscular physique, and dressing like a [[blue-collar worker]].((sfn|Cornelius|2011|page=162))))
** Nitpicky note, but I'm not sure that [[Butch (lesbian slang)]] is the right link here, as the meaning to gay men and to lesbians is slightly different.
* I don't think it's necessarily inappropriate in every situation, but keep an eye on [[MOS:SAID]] issues; more copy editing may be needed
* ((xt|Concerning He-Man's gay icon status, ''The Guardian'' recognized that members of the LGBT community identified with the character and him leading a secret life.<ref name="The Guardian">((cite web |date=December 26, 2021 |title=T Mark Taylor, He-Man and Masters of the Universe toy designer, dies aged 80 |url=https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2021/dec/26/t-mark-taylor-he-man-and-masters-of-the-universe-toy-designer-dies-aged-80 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211231124231/https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2021/dec/26/t-mark-taylor-he-man-and-masters-of-the-universe-toy-designer-dies-aged-80 |archive-date=December 31, 2021 |access-date=January 10, 2022 |website=[[The Guardian]]))</ref>))
