Today's featured article Model of Thunderbird 2 Thunderbirds is a British science fiction television series created by Gerry and Sylvia Anderson. It was their fifth series to be made using Supermarionation (a form of electronic marionette puppetry) combined with scale model effects sequences. Two series were made, totalling 32 episodes. Thunderbirds follows the exploits of International Rescue, a lifesaving organisation led by ex-astronaut Jeff Tracy. Its missions are carried out using the Thunderbird machines (one pictured), a fleet of five vehicles piloted by Jeff's sons. Thunderbirds premiered on the ITV network on 30 September 1965 and has aired in at least 66 countries. Widely considered the Andersons' most popular and commercially successful series, it has been praised for its effects, music and title sequence. A real-life search and rescue service, the International Rescue Corps, took its name from the series. Thunderbirds was followed by two feature films in the 1960s, a live-action film in 2004 and a remake, Thunderbirds Are Go, in 2015. (Full article...)

Today's featured picture Iolanthe is a comic opera with music by Arthur Sullivan and a libretto by W. S. Gilbert. First performed in 1882 as the seventh Gilbert and Sullivan operatic collaboration, it tells the story of Iolanthe, a fairy banished from fairyland because she married a mortal. Her son Strephon, half a fairy, loves Phyllis, whom all the members of the House of Peers wish to marry. Phyllis sees Strephon embracing Iolanthe (as fairies never age, she appears to be seventeen) and assumes that he is unfaithful, not realizing that Iolanthe is his mother, setting off a climactic confrontation between the peers and the fairies. The opera satirises many aspects of British government, law and society. Iolanthe was the first new theatre production in the world to be illuminated entirely by electric lights. It premiered at the Savoy Theatre and ran there for 398 performances, with a simultaneous production in New York. It is still played throughout the English-speaking world and beyond. This poster by H. M. Brock was produced for an early-20th-century tour production of Iolanthe by the D'Oyly Carte Opera Company. Poster credit: H. M. Brock; restored by Adam Cuerden Recently featured: Juniper berry Pristimantis elegans Hübnerite

What does this mean?

As on many websites, Wikipedia administrators occasionally block accounts and IP ranges that are deemed responsible for or related to problematic activity. You may be an innocent victim of collateral damage, whereby a block of some other activity has accidentally caused your account to be inaccessible. Alternatively, your account or IP may have been identified by an administrator as responsible for or related to misuse, or some other breach of policy. If your account has been blocked by mistake, it will be reactivated very quickly, as soon as you let an administrator know of the problem. Otherwise, there is a rapid appeal process which obtains quick review by other independent administrators, and brief discussion of the matter. The box above gives the information you will need in either case, as provided by the blocking administrator. What is a block? A block is a measure used to protect Wikipedia from possible improper use, or modification in breach of editorial policies. Once blocks are over, they become history unless problems recur. Blocks can apply to a user account, an IP, or a range of IPs. A number of automated features identify unblocked usage which apparently should be blocked; this can be quickly rectified if incorrect. Most common causes Your IP matches that used by another blocked account. Ask for further information and/or request unblocking. Your account or a connected IP has been used in a problematic way, or your username was unsuitable and you need to choose another. The reason should be in the box above. You have just clicked a 'red link' - an article that does not yet exist - but you do not have access to start a new page when no article exists already. Ask someone else to create the page for you, or create an account yourself to do so. You are using Google Web Accelerator or some other web accelerator, or an open proxy, or other similar software to access this site, which can interfere with some aspects of Wikipedia's vandalism-management process. Some schools, colleges, workplaces and ISPs can also cause this problem. Disable these and try again, or see below.

What do I do now?

If you have never edited Wikipedia before, or do not have an account, please see the "Unregistered?" section (below the "Additional information" header) for specific information. If the reason given is "username", "user...", "contact an administrator for verification purposes", or something similar, then you have been blocked for choosing an inappropriate username. To request a change in username and be unblocked, please follow these instructions. Alternatively, you can create a new account with a more appropriate name. If you are using Google Web Accelerator, please disable it for this site. This also applies to any other web accelerator software you may have installed. If your computer is blocked as an open proxy, please follow these instructions. If a specific reason is given or you wish to appeal, please see the following section. Appealing The current block will automatically expire $6. You have many routes to appeal the block or its duration. First of all, if you are a registred user, you can contact $1 (the blocking administrator) via email. You can use the 'email this user' feature if you have a valid email address registered and confirmed in your user preferences, and have not been specifically blocked from using the feature. Blocked directly? Alternatively, you may appeal the block by requesting that another administrator review the block. To do so, add {{unblock|your reason here}} to the bottom of your user talk page (which you can edit while blocked, unless it is protected) to request unblocking. You will need to state a reason for this, and the block is then free to be discussed. Our guide to appealing blocks may help you in composing a persuasive unblock request. You may use the the freenode IRC network to discuss your block with administrators available at the time. If you have an IRC client, the unblock channel can be found at #wikipedia-en-unblock. If you don't have an IRC client but still wish to use the channel, you can use this link to the Wikimedia toolserver to use a web based client. If you cannot contact $1 or cannot resolve the matter privately, then independent unblock review as described above will be your best solution. More details and other options can be found at Wikipedia:Appealing a block. Please note: While this block may be upsetting or unexpected, abuse of appeal processes, repeatedly using the unblock template when denied, personal attacks, or impolite conduct, will often lead to protection of that page preventing further use of the unblock template. IP blocked? If you are not blocked directly, your IP address ($3) or range has been "hard blocked" due to abuse either by the previous person who was allocated or sharing your IP address. Please copy-paste the following text to the bottom of your user talk page. {{unblock-ip|1=$3|2=<nowiki>$2</nowiki>|3=$1}} Do not do this if you were blocked directly or are not logged in; instead, see the "Appealing" section above (under the "What do I do now?" header). If this problem affects you repeatedly, we encourage you to contact your Internet service provider or IT department and ask them to contact Wikimedia's XFF project about enabling X-Forwarded-For HTTP headers on their proxy servers. This will reduce collateral damage from future autoblocks.

Additional information

Unregistered? MediaWiki, the software that Wikipedia runs on, identifies users without an account through their IP address. However, some IPs are shared by many people and as a result, unregistered users are sometimes blocked for the misbehavior of another editor. Since administrators have no way to accurately tell the claims of an innocent user from those of an anonymous vandal, you are strongly encouraged to create an account. See Why create an account? for a full list of benefits that come with registration. Some blocks will still allow logged in users to continue editing. If you are currently blocked from creating an account, try the following: Try again after the block on your IP address expires. Create an account from a different computer. Ask a trusted friend on a different network to create an account for you. Be sure to change the password after logging in. Use Wikimedia's secure server; this may bypass your network's proxy server. Emailing us Due to the high volume of email we receive, you are more likely to get a quick response if you try requesting an unblock via your talk page first.
