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.

((Refimprove|date=December 2008))

'''Westerleigh''' is a residential neighborhood in the north-western part of [[Staten Island]] in [[New York City]].

==Geography==
Westerleigh is in the north-west quadrant of the borough and is bordered in the east by Castleton Corners, the west by Willowbrook/Graniteville, the south-east by Meiers Corners, the south by Manor Heights/the Staten Island Expressway, and immediately to the North by Port Richmond.

Westerleigh occupies high ground on Staten Island. While not as high as [[Todt Hill]] (the city's tallest point), from certain vantage points  Westerleigh affords views of [[Newark, New Jersey]], and farther afield on a clear day.  The neighborhood has an abundance of coniferous and deciduous trees; including acacia, blue spruce, cedar, chestnut, elm, honey locust, paulownia, pin and royal oak, sweet gum, sycamore, tulip poplar, yew and many types of pine, some of which reach 75 feet (23 m) or more in height. On the neighborhood's southern side near the [[Staten Island Expressway]] is [[Ingram Woods]], a remnant of a larger forest that has been preserved as an undeveloped park.

==History==
[[File:PETER HOUSEMAN HOUSE, WESTERLEIGH, RICHMOND COUNTY, NY.jpg|thumb|House built in 1730]]
Westerleigh attracted notice when a [[Temperance movement|temperance]] group, the National Prohibition Campground Association, bought 25 acres (10 ha) of land there in 1877, and named the property Prohibition Park — noted chiefly today for the fact that the official [[climate]] records for Staten Island are compiled at the site.  Many of the local streets are named after early leaders of the [[Prohibition]] movement (Neal Dow, Clinton B. Fisk), or for states that supported anti-liquor laws (such as [[Maine]] and [[Ohio]]).

Some of Westerleigh's earliest residents excelled in letters including [[Isaac K. Funk]], co-founder of [[Funk and Wagnalls]], and poet [[Edwin Markham]].  Heiress [[Amy Vanderbilt]] also once lived there. 
The neighborhood gained much local attention for the abundance of patriotic decorations festooned on its homes in the aftermath of the [[September 11, 2001 attacks]].

One of the oldest [[Boy Scouts of America]] groups, Troop #2, was formed in 1912 and operates out of the Immanuel Union Church on Jewett Avenue.  

Westerleigh is also home to the oldest tennis club in the US, tennis having been introduced to the US (from England, via Bermuda) at the home here of Mary Ewing Outerbridge. She played the first game in the US at the [[Staten Island Cricket Club]] on an hourglass shaped court. The location, on College Avenue, still sports a tennis court.

The [[Peter Houseman House]] was listed on the [[National Register of Historic Places]] in 1982.<ref name="nris">((NRISref|2010a))</ref>

==Education==

===Schools===
Many Westerleigh residents are zoned for PS 30, IS 51, [[Susan E. Wagner High School]] and [[Port Richmond High School]].

===Library===
The [[New York Public Library]] (NYPL)'s Todt Hill-Westerleigh branch is located at 2550 Victory Boulevard on the border between Willowbrook and Westerleigh. The three-story branch opened in 1991.<ref>((cite web | title=About the Todt Hill-Westerleigh Library | website=The New York Public Library | date=April 18, 1991 | url=https://www.nypl.org/about/locations/todt-hill-westerleigh | access-date=March 19, 2019))</ref>

==Transportation==
Westerleigh is served by a number of local and express buses. The ((NYC bus link|S57)) local bus and the ((NYC bus link|SIM3|SIM34|prose=y)) express buses to [[Manhattan]] run along Watchogue Road. The ((NYC bus link|S62|S92|S93|prose=y)) local buses travel along Victory Boulevard, while the ((NYC bus link|S66)) local bus travels along Jewett Avenue. Farther north, the ((NYC bus link|S48|S98|prose=y)) local buses and the ((NYC bus link|SIM30|SIM35|prose=y)) express buses serve Forest Avenue, and the SIM35 also serve Manor Road at Westerleigh's eastern edge.<ref>((cite NYC bus map|S))</ref>
