Bill Huffman
This account is no longer used to edit article space or article talk space. I have another account that is used to edit article space. I do not want that account associated with my real name so I do not link to it from this account.
Note that this was the subject of an SPI. The SPI concluded, "This is quite possibly the first time I've ran a check, found another account, and been able to "Everything looks fine". What a moment! I should take a photograph of this or something."[1] The SPI was, of course, filed by Cla68. Bill Huffman (talk)

Multiple accounts edit
Bill, according to this edit, you are using more than one account to edit Wikipedia. Legitimate uses of alternate accounts are listed here. This page states that you are retired and no longer editing Wikipedia. If you are using an alternate account, then that statement appears to be untrue. You need to decide which account you are going to use, then ask for the other account to be deleted. I'll give you a day to respond here. Cla68 (talk) 23:16, 9 May 2011 (UTC)
- One more thing, Bill, is that this page appears to fall under the "attack page" category of criteria for deletion. Again, I'll give you some time to respond. Cla68 (talk) 07:32, 10 May 2011 (UTC)
- Here's the final state of the ANI discussion filed by Cla68. [2] Here's the final state of the SPI investigation that Cla68 filed against me.[3] Like the many many ANI's, complaints, ArbCom actions, etc. that Cla68 has filed against me, nothing of significance came of it. It was just more of his Mr. Hyde behavior. Atama did try to suggest an interaction ban in the ANI discussion which I thought was a very kind gesture on his part, although perhaps not as timely as it might have been if it had been done last year.

Unblock Special:Contributions/153.65.16.10 open proxy block edit
Bill Huffman (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))
Request reason:
on or about 13:59 May 10, 2011 Special:Contributions/153.65.16.10 open proxy block was set. I believe this was done in error. It impacts an IP address that I sometimes use, 153.64.136.150. I do not believe this is an open proxy IP address. Thank you, Bill Huffman (talk) 21:04, 11 May 2011 (UTC)
Decline reason:
You are not blocked. Please make the unblock request on the IP's talk page, or ask the blocking admin directly. Sandstein 06:08, 12 May 2011 (UTC)
If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

Request reason:
I'm very sorry for being unclear. I almost never edit without being logged on. I would not even know that there was a proxy block on the IP address I use if I wasn't blocked from editing. To be clear, when I'm logged in, this account is blocked from editing apparently anywhere except right here on my own talk page when I'm using the IP address that I'm currently using, 153.64.136.150. When I use my Wikipedia account on another network then I don't have any problems. This network is not an open proxy. This network is a private business network. I believe that the open proxy block was applied in error. Please unblock, or at least unblock for people that are logged into a valid Wikipedia account. Thank you and sorry for the previous unblock request being unclear.
Decline reason:
I will give you IP block exemption. (Contrary to what some of the editors posting to this page evidently think, the IP you mention is indeed blocked in a way which would prevent you from editing.) JamesBWatson (talk) 14:32, 13 May 2011 (UTC)

1. You are not blocked, if your IP is blocked request it [here]
2. The IP 153.65.16.10 is only blocked for account creation so you should not be affected. Bentogoa (talk) 18:22, 12 May 2011 (UTC)
- I most definitely am blocked from editing all pages that I've looked at except for this talk page, unless I go to another network. It is possible that IP 153.65.16.10 is blocked for other reasons. I'm not even sure that we're talking about the same thing though because note that 153.65 is different from 153.64 I'm blocked when using this network that I'm on right now (even when logged on) by an open proxy block that is applied to multiple IPs, including 153.64.136.150. I appreciate your assistance though. Bill Huffman (talk) 18:44, 12 May 2011 (UTC)
- (Non-administrator comment) this ip [153.64.136.150] is not blocked (As far i can check) [Block Log] Bentogoa (talk) 19:09, 12 May 2011 (UTC)
- When I click on a view source tab, it then says, "Editing from 153.65.16.10 has been disabled by Tnxman307 for the following reason(s): The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be an open proxy." It then goes on to say, "This block has been set to expire: 13:59, 10 August 2011." It was apparently an open proxy block by Tnxman307 that was set on 13:59 10 May 2011, which I found out when I did Special:Contributions on 153.65.16.10. While it is true that when using this current network I cannot create a new account, I cannot edit any Wikipedia page that I've looked at when I'm on this network (except for this talk page). If I use a different computer on another network then I can edit fine. So, it is not something targeting my account specifically. Again, thank you for your interest. I found out what IP Address is used by this computer by doing an IPCONFIG command. Regards, Bill Huffman (talk) 20:08, 12 May 2011 (UTC)
- Another strange thing, when this first started happening to me I could not even edit this page, my own talk page. The behavior then changed and I was able to at least edit my own talk page. Bill Huffman (talk) 20:17, 12 May 2011 (UTC)
- In that case you will need [IP_block_exemption] Bentogoa (talk) 20:26, 12 May 2011 (UTC)
- Thank you! much appreciated. Bill Huffman (talk) 21:18, 12 May 2011 (UTC)

I understand better edit
The following seems to capture at least one (hopefully completed) historical thread of a generally great editor's failure in AGF.
The situation is resolved behind "closed doors" to maintain personal privacy.
It seems to show IronDuke being much more successful in dealing with the problem than I, at least within the context of Wikipedia.
Being a meat puppet by taking directions from other posters on Wikipedia Review seems to be a strange sideline hobby for a generally great editor. From the few instances of it that I've seen and experienced, it seems to be a rather negative hobby, at least within my perspective of the Encyclopedia. Bill Huffman (talk) 15:16, 11 June 2011 (UTC)
Here's some examples in unrelated incidents involving Jimbo Wales. Jimbo Wales notices Cla68 assuming bad faith in upstanding Wikipedians, even the most upstanding Wikipedian, Jimbo himself!

Dispute resolution survey edit
 Dispute Resolution – Survey Invite Hello Bill Huffman. I am currently conducting a study on the dispute resolution processes on the English Wikipedia, in the hope that the results will help improve these processes in the future. Whether you have used dispute resolution a little or a lot, now we need to know about your experience. The survey takes around five minutes, and the information you provide will not be shared with third parties other than to assist in analyzing the results of the survey. No personally identifiable information will be released. Please click HERE to participate. You are receiving this invitation because you have had some activity in dispute resolution over the past year. For more information, please see the associated research page.

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
