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.

"'''War Child'''" is a 1982 song by the American rock band [[Blondie (band)|Blondie]], featured on their sixth studio album ''[[The Hunter (Blondie album)|The Hunter]]''. The song was released as a second single from the album in various countries,<ref>((cite web|url=http://rip-her-to-shreds.com/archive_discography_singles_warchild.php|title=War Child - 1982|publisher=rip-her-to-shreds.com|access-date=2014-01-26))</ref> but not in the band's native [[US]]. There is no music video for this single.

==Single information==
"War Child" was written by [[Debbie Harry]] and [[Nigel Harrison]], who had previously written the hits "[[One Way or Another]]" and "[[Union City Blue]]" together. The lyrics portray Harry as a [[war child]] (a child soldier) and reflect the violent environment of current wars, such as those of [[Cambodia]] and [[Middle East]]. It was first performed live in 1982's ''[[Tracks Across America Tour]]''. A recording was included in subsequent live albums and VHS/DVDs. In 2014, "War Child" was included in live setlists as a medley with [[Black Sabbath]]'s "[[War Pigs]]".

The single was the second and final release from the album, and would therefore be the last new Blondie single for seventeen years, when the band reformed and released "[[Maria (Blondie song)|Maria]]" in 1999.

The [[B-side]] to this single was "Little Caesar", also from ''The Hunter'' album. The 12" single included an extended remix of "War Child" by producer [[Mike Chapman]], which can be found as a bonus track on [[EMI]]'s 1994 and 2001 CD re-issues of the album ''The Hunter''.
