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 44.214.0.0/16 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 16:45, 10 January 2025. Your current IP address is 44.214.4.121.

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.

'''West Aberdeenshire and Kincardine''' was a [[United Kingdom constituencies|constituency]] of the [[Scottish Parliament]] ([[Scottish Parliament Building|Holyrood]]). It elected one [[Member of the Scottish Parliament|Member of the Scottish Parliament (MSP)]] by the [[first past the post]] method of election. Also, however, it was one of nine constituencies in the [[North East Scotland (Scottish Parliament electoral region)|North East Scotland]] [[Scottish Parliament constituencies and regions|electoral region]], which elected seven [[additional member system (Scottish Parliament)|additional members]], in addition to nine constituency MSPs, to produce a form of [[proportional representation]] for the region as a whole.

For the Scottish Parliament election, 2011, West Aberdeenshire and Kincardine was '''abolished''', replaced in part by [[Aberdeen South and North Kincardine (Scottish Parliament constituency)|Aberdeen South and North Kincardine]], [[Aberdeenshire East (Scottish Parliament constituency)|Aberdeenshire East]], and [[Aberdeenshire West (Scottish Parliament constituency)|Aberdeenshire West]].

==Electoral region==
((see also|North East Scotland (Scottish Parliament electoral region)))

The other eight constituencies of the North East Scotland region were: [[Aberdeen Central (Scottish Parliament constituency)|Aberdeen Central]], [[Aberdeen North (Scottish Parliament constituency)|Aberdeen North]], [[Aberdeen South (Scottish Parliament constituency)|Aberdeen South]], [[Angus (Scottish Parliament constituency)|Angus]], [[Banff and Buchan (Scottish Parliament constituency)|Banff and Buchan]], [[Dundee East (Scottish Parliament constituency)|Dundee East]], [[Dundee West (Scottish Parliament constituency)|Dundee West]] and [[Gordon (Scottish Parliament constituency)|Gordon]].

The region covered the [[Aberdeenshire|Aberdeenshire council area]], the [[Aberdeen City council area]], the [[Dundee City council area]], part of the [[Angus council area]], a small part of the [[Moray|Moray council area]] and a small part of the [[Perth and Kinross|Perth and Kinross council area]].

==Constituency boundaries==
The West Aberdeenshire and Kincardine constituency was created at the same time as the Scottish Parliament, in [[1999 Scottish Parliament election|1999]], with the name and boundaries of an  existing [[West Aberdeenshire and Kincardine (UK Parliament constituency)|Westminster constituency]]. In [[2005 United Kingdom general election|2005]], however, the boundaries of the Westminster ([[House of Commons (UK)|House of Commons]]) constituency were subject to some alteration.

===Council area===
The Holyrood constituency covered a southern portion of the Aberdeenshire council area. The rest of the Aberdeenshire area was covered by two other constituencies, both also in the North East Scotland electoral region: Gordon was to the north of the West Aberdeenshire and Kincardine constituency, and Banff and Buchan was further north. Gordon also covered a small eastern portion of the Moray council area.
