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 35.175.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪JJMC89‬ 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 05:20, 2 March 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.

==Career==

=== Journalism ===
Prior to publication of his first book, Weaver was a [[video game journalist]]. He was a writer for [[Future plc]] magazines ''[[Super Play]]'',<ref name="Maximum-Interview">((cite web |title=Episode 106: Tim Weaver Interview |url=https://maximumpowerup.com/episode-106-tim-weaver-interview/ |website=Maximum Power Up |access-date=29 March 2024))</ref> ''[[Total!]]'',<ref name="total58">((cite magazine |title=Editorial |journal=[[Total!]] |date=October 1996 |issue=58 |page=2 |url=https://archive.org/details/total-58/page/n1/mode/2up |publisher=[[Future plc]]))</ref> ''[[N64 Magazine]]'',<ref name="N64Mag">((cite magazine |title=Team 64 |journal=[[N64 Magazine]] |date=April 1997 |issue=1 |page=5 |url=https://archive.org/details/n64magazineukcollection/N64%20Magazine%201%20-%20april%201997%20%28UK%29%20%28Max-Rez%20version%29/page/n3/mode/2up |publisher=[[Future plc]]))</ref> ''Video Gamer'',<ref name="VideoGamer">((cite magazine |last1=Weaver |first1=Tim |title=Contents |journal=Video Gamer |date=December 2000 |issue=1 |page=4 |url=https://archive.org/details/Video_Gamer_Magazine_Issue_001/page/n3/mode/2up |publisher=[[Future plc]]))</ref><ref name="RetroGamer">((cite magazine |last1=Thorpe |first1=Nick |title=Back to the Naughties - This Month In... |journal=[[Retro Gamer]] |date=2017 |page=17 |url=https://archive.org/details/retro-gamer-raspberry-pi-buenos-aires/Retro%20Gamer%20174/page/16/mode/2up |publisher=[[Future plc]] |quote=Editor Tim Weaver was put in charge of a largely new team to create Video Gamer, a 99p monthly gaming magazine that ultimately lasted a mere four months.))</ref> and ''[[Xbox World]]''.<ref name="Maximum-Interview"/> He also appeared as co-host of YouTube show GTA V O'Clock.<ref>((cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLL7-7TcGDvLhxWTkGT0gdXbDBwpaCjQ_c |title=Wednesdays: GTA 5 o' Clock |publisher=YouTube |date=9 July 2013 |accessdate=1 September 2013))</ref> 

=== Novels ===
Weaver's debut [[crime thriller]] ''Chasing the Dead'' was released in February of 2010.<ref>((cite web|url=http://www.shotsmag.co.uk/interview_view.aspx?interview_id=214 |title=Shots Magazine – Tim Weaver: Stopped in his tracks? |publisher=Shotsmag.co.uk |date=2 March 2011 |accessdate=18 November 2013))</ref> The story introduced the character of David Raker. Raker is a former journalist, who gave up his career in newspapers to care for his wife after she was diagnosed with terminal cancer. The book begins twelve months after her death, centering on the mysterious reappearance of a man thought to have died in a car crash.<ref>((cite web|url=http://www.penguin.co.uk/nf/Book/BookDisplay/0,,9780241957400,00.html |title=Chasing the Dead – Tim Weaver – Penguin Books |publisher=Penguin.co.uk |date=7 July 2011 |accessdate=1 September 2013))</ref> 

His fourth book, ''Never Coming Back'', is the first in the series to move entirely away from London, and is set in [[Devon]] and [[Las Vegas]]. On 28 August 2013 it was announced that ''Never Coming Back'' had been selected for the [[Richard and Judy]] Autumn 2013 Book Club.<ref>((cite web|url=http://richardandjudy.whsmith.co.uk/20-13/autumn/timweaver-nevercomingback/ |title=WHSmith Richard and Judy Book Club |website=richardandjudy.whsmith.co.uk |date= |accessdate=28 August 2013))</ref> On 18 November 2013, it was shortlisted for Crime & Thriller of the Year in the [[Specsavers]] National Book Awards,<ref>((cite web|url=http://www.nationalbookawards.co.uk/award/crime-thriller-of-the-year/ |title=Specsavers National Book Award – Crime & Thriller of the Year |publisher=nationalbookawards.co.uk/ |date=18 November 2013 |accessdate=18 November 2013))</ref> and on 16 December 2013 [[iTunes]] included it in their 'Best of 2013' list, naming it Best British Crime Thriller.<ref>((cite web|url=http://www.macworld.co.uk/ipad-iphone/news/?newsid=3494097 |title=Macworld – Best apps, music, films, books, TV and podcasts of 2013 listed by Apple on iTunes |publisher=macworld.co.uk// |date=17 December 2013 |accessdate=2 January 2014))</ref>

On his decision to have David Raker specialise in missing persons cases, Weaver has said: "I just became very interested in the idea of a person going missing in an age where we have CCTV on every street, 24-hour rolling news channels, and constant access to cameras through our phones. It seemed like an intriguing starting point for a book. It sounds trite, but I was also struck by the human cost. Can you imagine how many stories must go untold when a person vanishes?"<ref>((cite web|url=http://www.crimefictionlover.com/2012/08/interview-tim-weaver/ |title=Interview: Tim Weaver |publisher=Crime Fiction Lover |date=17 September 2012 |accessdate=1 September 2013))</ref>

In October 2013, Weaver contributed a short story entitled ''Disconnection'' to #YouDunnit, a joint venture between Penguin and [[Specsavers]].<ref>((cite web|url=http://www.thedrum.com/news/2013/09/13/specsavers-and-penguin-team-let-crime-fans-create-youdunnit-novella-through-social |title=The Drum – Specsavers and Penguin team up to let crime fans create #youdunnit novella through social media |publisher=thedrum.com/ |date=13 September 2013 |accessdate=18 November 2013))</ref> The major themes of the story – including the victim, crime scene location, and central character – were [[crowdsourced]] on Twitter.

Weaver's tenth book, ''No One Home'', was again selected for the [[Richard and Judy]] Book Club on 20 February 2020<ref>((cite web|url=https://www.whsmith.co.uk/products/no-one-home-david-raker-missing-persons/tim-weaver/paperback/9781405939492.html |title=WHSmith Richard and Judy Book Club |website=www.whsmith.co.uk |date= |accessdate=20 February 2020))</ref> and on 15 April 2021, Weaver released his first standalone novel, ''Missing Pieces''.<ref>((cite web|url=https://www.penguin.co.uk/books/315196/missing-pieces/9780241418734.html |title=Penguin Books |website=www.penguin.co.uk |date= |accessdate=11 April 2021))</ref>

=== Podcast ===
In September 2015, Weaver wrote and presented an eight-part [[podcast]] series called ''Missing'', looking into how and why people disappear.<ref>((cite web|url=http://missingpodcast.com/ |title=MISSING: Is it possible to disappear? |website=missingpodcast.com/ |date= |accessdate=2 September 2015))</ref> It was selected by [[iTunes]] as one of the best podcasts of 2015.<ref>((cite web|url=https://itunes.apple.com/gb/podcast/missing/id1034408710?mt=2 |title=MISSING by Tim Weaver on iTunes |website=itunes.apple.com/gb/podcast/missing/id1034408710?mt=2 |date= |accessdate=2 September 2015))</ref> In August 2016, Weaver recorded three further episodes.
