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 44.195.0.0/16 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 09:46, 11 January 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.

== NPOV Concerns re: Gravel ==

I just found a failed verification issue that makes me concerned that this article might have some NPOV issues regarding Gravel. The specific passage is:
((tq2|On October 13, 1978, the last day of the 95th Congress, the Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act, an act to protect and conserve a third of Alaska as 'America's last huge, untouched wilderness', an act which Stevens championed after providing a compromise with Mo Udall, was killed by Gravel, in an attempt to spite Stevens. The day before, Gravel had written to Stevens that he intended to oppose any attempt of a compromise, wanting instead to completely kill the bill.))

The source cited at the end is an AP article, which supports few of those claims and almost contradicts some of them. It says:
((tq2|[Gravel] had the unenviable position of being an Alaska Democrat when some residents were burning President Jimmy Carter in effigy for his measures to place large sections of public lands in the state under protection from development.<br/><br/>Gravel feuded with Alaska’s other senator, Republican Ted Stevens, on the land matter, preferring to fight Carter's actions and rejecting Stevens' advocacy for a compromise.<br/><br/>In the end, Congress passed the Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act of 1980, a compromise that set aside millions of acres for national parks, wildlife refuges and other protected areas. It was one of the last bills Carter signed before leaving office.))

What was probably meant to be cited is the old Lemann article, which is cited at the end of the paragraph. But even that article is far more equivocal than the Wikipedia text—which is problematic. Lemann never says definitively that Gravel killed the compromise to spite Gravel. He says that's ''one theory'' of why Gravel killed the compromise—and he even suggests it was a minority theory:
((tq2|There are several other theories as to why Gravel killed the bill. One is that he did it just to torment Stevens. Another is that his brief support of it was an aberration brought on my intense pressure from home-state politicians. Yet another is that the compromise was favorable to the timber interests but that the oil and mining interests, whose support Gravel values, really didn't like it.<br/><br/>What most people believe is that Gravel killed the compromise as part of his own reelection campaign strategy.))
To use that source to say, definitively, that Gravel killed the bill to "spit Stevens" raises both [[WP:NPOV]] and [[WP:FRINGE]] issues.--<span style="font-family:Georgia">'''[[User:Jerome Frank Disciple|Jerome Frank Disciple]]'''</span> 15:00, 23 May 2023 (UTC)

:will reword <span style="background:linear-gradient(90deg,maroon,red,darkred,red,darkred,maroon); -webkit-background-clip:text !important; -webkit-text-fill-color:transparent;">[[User:AlaskaGal|'''AlaskaGal~''']]</span> ^_^ 13:14, 24 May 2023 (UTC)

:::thank you!!! i'm not too sure what else is missing, but if you spot anything, please point it out! i intend to renominate the article by the 1st of june latest, but i won't rush anything, and if it goes past then, then fair enough. i do think that i'm getting close enough though. i also want to find some more sources on some issues and clean up all those remaining dead links ^^ <span style="background:linear-gradient(90deg,maroon,red,darkred,red,darkred,maroon); -webkit-background-clip:text !important; -webkit-text-fill-color:transparent;">[[User:AlaskaGal|'''AlaskaGal~''']]</span> ^_^ 20:55, 24 May 2023 (UTC)
::::Every dead link has since been removed, I'll just review the Gravel section now to see if anything else may violate [[WP:NPOV]]. <span style="background:linear-gradient(90deg,maroon,red,darkred,red,darkred,maroon); -webkit-background-clip:text !important; -webkit-text-fill-color:transparent;">[[User:AlaskaGal|'''AlaskaGal~''']]</span> ^_^ 21:16, 24 May 2023 (UTC)
:::::Great! I do recommend using citation templates where you can—since they're used through most the article, they should probably be used everywhere. (Just look at the other references in the article for examples, you'll usually be relying on ((t1|cite news)) and ((t1|cite web)), maybe a ((t1|cite book)) or ((t1|cite case)) here or there). Plus, you never want bare URLs. 
:::::I've probably been involved enough here that I shouldn't do the second review, but I'm happy to try to chip in and help out as it goes!--<span style="font-family:Georgia">'''[[User:Jerome Frank Disciple|Jerome Frank Disciple]]'''</span> 15:38, 25 May 2023 (UTC)
::::::alright, ty. i used to use citation templates, no clue when or why i stopped, should get back in the habit, heh ^^ <span style="background:linear-gradient(90deg,maroon,red,darkred,red,darkred,maroon); -webkit-background-clip:text !important; -webkit-text-fill-color:transparent;">[[User:AlaskaGal|'''AlaskaGal~''']]</span> ^_^ 15:57, 25 May 2023 (UTC)
