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 54.90.0.0/16 has been blocked 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 10:02, 6 April 2025. Your current IP address is 54.90.168.206.

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.

'''SS ''Königin Luise''''' ("Queen Louise") was a {{sclass|Barbarossa|ocean liner}} built in 1896 by [[AG Vulcan|Vulcan Shipbuilding Corp.]] of [[Stettin]], [[German Empire|Germany]], for the [[North German Lloyd]] line of [[Bremen]].  She served on the company's Australian, Far East, and North Atlantic routes for nearly two decades.

During [[World War I]], ''Königin Luise'' was one of only two ships of her class to avoid being [[interned]] in neutral ports, spending the war in German ports.  After the war, ''Königin Luise'' was allocated as [[war reparations]] to the United Kingdom, sold to the [[Orient Steam Navigation Company]] in 1921 and renamed '''''Omar'''''.  She was sold again in 1924 to the Byron SS Co of London and operated on the Piraeus – New York service until scrapped in 1935.<ref>{{cite book | title = Great Passenger Ships of the World Vol 1 1858-1912 | author = Arnold Kludas | isbn = 0-85059-174-0 | publisher= Patrick Stephens Ltd | page = 18}}</ref>

==''Königin Luise''==
''Königin Luise'' was built by AG Vulcan for the [[North German Lloyd]] (NDL) line and completed 17 March 1896.

Along with her sister ships {{SS|Friedrich der Grosse||2}}, {{SS|Barbarossa||2}} and {{SS|Bremen|1897|2}}, the ''Königin Luise'' worked Australian, Far East, and North Atlantic routes for NDL. On Australian and Far East voyages she used the [[Suez Canal]], and was one of the largest ships regularly using the canal.

At the outbreak of World War I ''Königin Luise'' was in port in Germany, thus avoiding internment, and due to the [[Royal Navy]] blockade, she was laid up.  Following the [[Armistice]], she was allocated as [[war reparations]] to the UK, and was surrendered to the UK [[Shipping Controller]] on 10 April 1919.  She was allocated to the [[Orient Steam Navigation Company]].

In mid 1919, she departed from [[Devonport, Plymouth|Devonport]], England, carrying Australian troops returning home, including [[Victoria Cross]] winner [[James Park Woods]].<ref>{{cite news|last1=Jarrett|first1=Ian|title=Tale of two ships|url=https://au.news.yahoo.com/thewest/travel/a/22710085/tale-of-two-ships/|accessdate=31 December 2015|work=[[The West Australian]]|date=21 April 2014}}</ref>  On 20 October 1919, British troops embarked her (now described as HT ''Konigin Luise'') in India to travel to England.  On 8 September 1920, during third London – Australia voyage, she collided at [[Lisbon]] with the British steamship ''Loughborough'', which sank.

==''Omar''==
In January 1921 the ship was sold to the Orient Steam Navigation Company, which renamed her ''Omar''.

==''Edison''==
The ship was again sold in July 1924 to Byron SS Co. of London, and renamed ''Edison''. She worked the Piraeus – New York route until being scrapped in 1935 in Italy.
