I was not notified of this but I assume I am also being accused. I do stay with Wildhartlivie sometimes, a lot during the last several months. I don't choose to say why, that is personal. We have shared residences at different times in our lives. When that happens, we share an internet connection, but I don't always edit here from home. I don't know of a policy against two people from the same house working on Misplaced Pages or having an interest in the same topics. We grew up together, we went to school together. Because of that, we share many interests and other personal life things. One of those things is a great love of movies and actors and we usually think a lot alike. That happens when people remain friends all their lives. I have some of the same articles that she does on my watchlist. Our wake/sleep hours aren't congruent so we are rarely home together and awake when I am staying with her. I won't post personal contact information here to let anyone that wants take advantage of it. | |||
She taught me how to edit on Misplaced Pages when I became interested. She directs me to policies when I need them and taught me how to use Wiki markup and insert links when it is needed. I don't think there is a lot of similarity in how we write, but I've seen her writing for over 30 years and she's seen mine. As for using w/ and & in edit summaries, Viritidas probably hasn't been a waitress. That's standard shorthand for writing down orders and I see it in a lot of edit summaries by other people. Wildhartlivie and I have both been waitresses during our lives. Saying "completely" is sort of a colloquialism for our group so that might creep in a lot. So is "totally" and sometimes so is "cool". I don't know about "yet another" and that seems like a stretch to me. | |||
I don't see any evidence of being involved in edit wars or disputes or defending one another. I posted a personal attack message at after that person left a an attack at . That wasn't defending anyone in a dispute. It's a personal attack warning. I saw that she had an issue on Jonestown earlier in the morning with a new editor and decided to try and take care of that myself because of the dispute that was going on there with Viritidas. What was going on with the new editor had nothing to do with the dispute with Viriditas so there was no defending her edits. It mostly was about that person changing categories and moving a photo directly underneath the infobox. I admit it that I let it become a little bit of an edit war with the new editor and I'm sorry if that was the situation. If I have done something wrong on Misplaced Pages it was my doing, noone else's, but I don't see that I did. I am willing to be banned or have my account deleted if I have done something wrong, but there is no collusion or meatpuppet activities taking place. The truth is, this whole thing has made me rethink my interest in Misplaced Pages. This is supposed to be a fun place to edit, not one where people get accused and attacked. It is wrong to try and seek punishment to Wildhartlivie for something that she or I did not do or I did wrong. ] (]) 05:25, 2 July 2009 (UTC) | |||

- Evidence submitted by Viriditas
Wildhartlivie says that LaVidaLoca is his WP:ROOMMATE account and that they share the same IP but use different computers. While this may be true or not, they edit the same articles, revert for each other during edit wars and disputes, , defend each other in disputesand use the same or similar but unique language and phrasing in their edit summaries and talk pages. ("w/", "completely", "&", "yet another", "???" ) There are few, if any overlapping edits, and the LaVidaLoca account appears to only edit articles when Wildhartlivie is inactive.

I was not notified of this but I assume I am also being accused. I do stay with Wildhartlivie sometimes, a lot during the last several months. I don't choose to say why, that is personal. We have shared residences at different times in our lives. When that happens, we share an internet connection, but I don't always edit here from home.

I won't post personal contact information here to let anyone that wants take advantage of it.
She taught me how to edit on Misplaced Pages when I became interested. She directs me to policies when I need them and taught me how to use Wiki markup and insert links when it is needed. I don't think there is a lot of similarity in how we write, but I've seen her writing for over 30 years and she's seen mine.

I don't know about "yet another" and that seems like a stretch to me.
I don't see any evidence of being involved in edit wars or disputes or defending one another. I posted a personal attack message at after that person left a an attack at .

- Comments by other users
I have no knowledge of Wilhartlivie or his room mate, nor is this information directly relevant to IP searching, etc., but it is worth a short mention: undisclosed above is that Viriditas has engaged in a long and extensive Wikihounding campaign against Wildhartlive, myself and Yachtsman1, that is now the subject of an RfCU. I won't go into details, but it includes NUMEROUS false charges and conspiracy theories.Mosedschurte (talk) 01:28, 2 July 2009 (UTC)
Where is the abuse? I see a few examples of editing the same article over the span of years, but no real pattern of long term abuse that warrants any sort of action from two editors who share the same address. I also noted overlap on June 4, 2009 at 1:27 p.m. between the two editors. Also, please take note of this: and compare with this pointed edit: The "defending" each other allegation involves a sock who was banned, and with whom the initator of this investigation also had differences. --Yachtsman1 (talk) 01:53, 2 July 2009 (UTC)
They certainly are acting as sockpuppets. The same articles, the same times, and the same tone. Coincidence? I think not. --64.29.148.60 (talk) 04:33, 2 July 2009 (UTC)
BUSTED - If they are really roommates, then why do they post to each others talk pages like strangers?
Just a few examples:
- http://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=User_talk:LaVidaLoca&diff=167142034&oldid=167130363
- http://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=User_talk:Wildhartlivie/Archive_4&diff=prev&oldid=167918568
- http://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=User_talk:Wildhartlivie&diff=prev&oldid=237405462
It is clear that the roommate story is a big lie.
If you check the all the IP's used for both accounts, I bet more accounts will show up. Then there will be more "we live together but comment on each other talk pages like we do know each other" explanations —Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.83.212.19 (talk) 05:19, 2 July 2009 (UTC)
