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.

'''Vollen''' is a part of the [[Asker (municipality)|Asker]] municipality in [[Akershus]] county, Norway. For statistical purposes, it is usually treated as part of the [[Oslo]] urban area. It is mainly a residential area, though the area has a café, a restaurant, several art galleries, a primary school and secondary school.

==Location==
Vollen is situated about ((convert|10|km|abbr=on)) south of the main settlement of Asker. Vollen lies next to the western coast of the [[Oslofjord]]. Vollen itself lies around ((convert|100|m|abbr=on)) above sea level at the top, and next to the sea at the bottom. Slemmestadveien goes directly through Vollen centre.

The Vollen [[postal code]] is 1390 and 1391.

==Politics==
Although the municipality of Asker is traditionally a conservative stronghold, with [[Conservative Party (Norway)|Høyre (Conservative Party)]] having a strong position in the local government, [[Labour Party (Norway)|Arbeiderpartiet (Labour Party)]] got the most votes in both the [[2005 Norwegian parliamentary election|2005]] and the [[2001 Norwegian parliamentary election|2001]] elections. [[Progress Party (Norway)|Fremskrittspartiet (Progress Party)]] was the second largest party in 2005, recording 22.6% of the votes, while Høyre got 19.2%. No other parties had anywhere above 8% in the recent election, though the [[Socialist Left Party (Norway)|Sosialistisk Venstreparti (Socialist Left Party)]] was the fourth-largest party in 2001 with 14.1%. Their decline in 2005 reflected a nationwide trend. Both in 2001 and 2005, the result of the nation and the results in Vollen were quite similar, although the Conservatives were stronger in Vollen and the [[Christian Democratic Party (Norway)|Kristelig Folkeparti (Christian Democratic Party)]] and the [[Centre Party (Norway)|Senterpartiet (Centre Party)]] were weaker.

==Infrastructure==
The most famous place in Vollen is perhaps the local bakery "Café Oscar", run by the local people. Vollen has also ''Mats and Martin'' (restaurant), ''Galleri Pink'' (art gallery), ''Hebbe Lilles'' (art gallery), ''Søstrene Sagen'' (interior shop), ''Herligheten'' (gift shop) and Kroa (a large dock and dining place). There is no local library (the nearest is in Slemmestad, Heggedal or Asker).

The local school, Arnestad barneskole, was built in 1992, and expanded several times. As of June 2006, it had 500 pupils aged from 6 to 13 (first to seventh grade), and does not split the pupils into classes which they keep for the whole seven-year period in the school; instead, they are in working groups which may change from year to year or even more frequently. Arnestad school has almost 80 employees.

The local secondary school, Vollen Ungdomskole, was built in 2001. As of June 2006, it had 379 pupils aged from 13 to 16 (eight to tenth grade), and does not split the pupils into classes which they keep for the whole three-year period in the school; instead, they are in working groups which may change from year to year or even more frequently.

==Transport==
A boat service (''Hurtigbåten'', or "speed boat") operates from the western coast of Oslo to the east coast of the Oslofjord. There are also bus services to the centre of Vollen.

==Sports==
Vollen Ungdomslag<ref>[http://www.vul.no/ Vollen Ungdomslag]</ref> (VUL), the local sports club, was founded in 1914. It currently has a [[football (soccer)|football]] division with junior teams up to the age of 19. The men's football currently plays on the [[Football in Norway|fifth highest level]] of the Norwegian league system.

Vollen is also host to a lot of sailing, especially during the summer.

== The ''Maud'' ==
[[File:AO7E8669.jpg|thumb|Maud at Vollen on 18 August 2018]]
In 1916 (or 1917) the Arctic expedition ship ''[[Maud (ship)|Maud]]'' was built here and launched into [[Oslofjord]]. The ship was designed and built especially for [[Roald Amundsen]] and sailed through the [[Northern Sea Route|Northeast Passage]] between 1918 and 1924. Sold to the [[Hudson's Bay Company]] as the supply vessel ''Baymaud'' she sank at [[Cambridge Bay]], [[Northwest Territories]] (now [[Nunavut]]), Canada in 1930. In 1990, the ship was sold by the Hudson's Bay Company to Asker town with the expectation that she would be returned there; however the export permit expired due to the 230 million [[Norwegian krone|kroner]] ($43,200,000) cost to repair and move the ship.<ref>((cite web|url=http://explorenorth.com/library/weekly/aa082799.htm|title=Underwater Treasure of Cambridge Bay|access-date=17 December 2008| archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20090108173521/http://explorenorth.com/library/weekly/aa082799.htm| archive-date= 8 January 2009 | url-status= live))</ref><ref>((cite news|work=Nunavut News/North Monday|date=20 August 2007|title=Saving the Maud))</ref><ref>((cite web|url=http://pwnhc.learnnet.nt.ca/research/archrep/central.htm|title=Cambridge Bay at the Prince of Wales Northern Heritage Centre|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070809214800/http://pwnhc.learnnet.nt.ca/research/archrep/central.htm|archive-date=9 August 2007))</ref> In 2011 a new project was commenced to salvage ''Maud'' and transport her to a new museum to be built at Vollen.<ref>[http://www.nunatsiaqonline.ca/stories/article/16557_norway_wants_amundsens_maud_back_from_nunavut/ Norway wants Amundsen’s Maud back from Nunavut]</ref>
