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 3.80.0.0/16 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 09:29, 23 December 2026. Your current IP address is 3.80.46.204.

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.

'''HMS ''Standard''''' was a British [[Royal Navy]] [[shore establishment]] between 1942 and 1945. Situated well away from the sea near [[Kielder, Northumberland|Kielder]] in Northumberland, the base was an assessment and rehabilitation centre for naval personnel diagnosed with [[personality disorder]]s.

==Origins==
Prior to the [[Second World War]] the [[Ministry of Labour (United Kingdom)|Ministry of Labour]] had established a number of training centres for unemployed men, one of these was Kielder Camp.<ref>{{cite book|last=Field|first=John|title=Learning through labour: training, unemployment and the state 1890–1939|year=1992|publisher=[[Leeds University]], School of Education|isbn=978-0-900960-48-2|page=158}}</ref> In 1941 the Navy was growing increasingly concerned about the number of men suffering from behavioural problems, which prevented them from carrying out full duties.<ref name=leG>{{cite journal|last=Le Gassicke|first=John|title=A Submerged Site of Therapeutic Endeavour|journal=The Psychiatrist|year=1982|volume=6|pages=135|url=http://pb.rcpsych.org/cgi/reprint/6/8/135.pdf|access-date=28 July 2010|issn=1758-3209|ref=LeGassicke|issue=8|doi=10.1192/pb.6.8.135}}</ref> A variety of locations were considered before it was decided to take over the by now deserted labour camp near Kielder. Although the camp was taken over in 1941 it was not until early 1942 that it was commissioned as HMS ''Standard'' and the first men posted there.

==Personnel==
Men posted to the base fell into three categories; those with low [[morale]], men of temperamental instability, and [[Malingering|malingerers]].<ref name=leG/> The aim was to return these men not necessarily to active service but to some form of effective service.<ref name=leG/>

The base was not a hospital, it was under the command of officers of the Royal Navy executive branch rather than [[Royal Naval Medical Service]], although two Royal Navy [[psychiatrist]]s were assigned to the base staff.<ref>{{cite journal|last1=Jones|first1=Edgar|last2=Greenberg|first2=Neil|title=Royal Naval Psychiatry: Organization, Methods and Outcomes, 1900–1945|journal=The Mariner's Mirror|date=May 2006|volume=92|issue=2|page=10|doi=10.1080/00253359.2006.10656993 }}</ref>

==Regime==
The regime of the base had an emphasis on physical labour and education to support the overall aim of returning the men to effective service. Rather than a general regime, each man was assessed and a personalised regime of work, recreation and education established.<ref name=leG/>

==Statistics==
During the three years HMS ''Standard'' was operational, 842 men were assessed of whom 680 were classed as 'successes' because they were drafted to other duties within the Navy with the average period at ''Standard'' being four months. Of those redrafted the records are incomplete but some performed well enough to be decorated, while over 100 were the subject later in their service careers of bad reports. The remaining 162 men were all discharged from the Navy.<ref name=leG/>

==Closure==
HMS ''Standard'' was decommissioned in July 1945 after the end of the war in Europe, subsequently the camp became a labour camp for Polish [[refugee]]s before becoming a [[Forestry Commission]] depot. The site of the camp was flooded with the creation of [[Kielder Water]] in 1980.<ref>{{cite web|title=Royal Naval Camp (Kielder)|url=http://www.keystothepast.info/durhamcc/K2P.nsf/K2PDetail?readform&PRN=N6288|work=Keys to the Past|publisher=Durham County Council, Northumberland County Council|access-date=17 October 2010|year=2010|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110616213311/http://www.keystothepast.info/durhamcc/K2P.nsf/K2PDetail?readform&PRN=N6288|archive-date=16 June 2011|df=dmy-all}}</ref>
