These two accounts have been tagteaming to restore each other's reverted edits on both Lindsay Lohan (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs) and Charlie Sheen (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs), ignoring invitation to discussion.
On Lindsay Lohan they twice performed a series of tag teaming edits within minutes of each other, with essentially the same end result. May 12: RoadHouse last edit at 23:38, GotMilk3 first edit at 23:41. May 14: GotMilk3 last edit at 02:48, RoadHouse first edit at 02:53 (see history[1]) Diff example: GotMilk3 edit [2] was reverted and then restored by RoadHouse [3]
Charlie Sheen diffs: GotMilk3 edit [4] reverted and then restored by RoadHouse [5]
Other behavioral connections: GotMilk3 first edited within a month after RoadHouse (late Feb, early March) and both accounts have about 100 edits. Both edit almost exclusively high profile BLPs. Neither of them ever discuss changes (100% of contributions of both are in article space) and have only used edit summaries a handful of times. Siawase (talk) 09:52, 14 May 2011 (UTC)

Just enough intertwining and supporting edits and timing to make me feel very suspicious. RoadHouse began editing Feb 26, and edited until March 11, editing David Boreanaz (an actor of "Buffy" and "Angel") on March 10. GotMilk3 starts editing on March 12, with his second edit being to Buffy Summers, lead character of the same show. GotMilk3 edits alone until April 5, when RoadHouse starts up again, and you start to see parallel editing on Charlie Sheen, Nicholas Cage, Eminem, Lindsay Lohan, Joe Rogan, Perez Hilton, George Lopez, and others. Very interesting and suspicious, but not enough to make me hit my block button without a checkuser. —Kww(talk) 12:30, 14 May 2011 (UTC)

This edit within RoadHouse's IP range conforms to many months of typical RH edits (see the revision history of Nicholas Brendon prior to it being locked for par-for-the-course edits and revisions). Two 173.72... IPS noted in original ANI. I reported the same IP spread in June (went nowhere). 71.234.215.133 (talk) 13:09, 28 July 2011 (UTC)

- Definitely. Same ISP, same article. I think the IP might even be restoring old edits (it's a bit further back in the history of the article - around April and May.) Quack! Nymf hideliho! 15:33, 28 July 2011 (UTC)

It is possible that "RoadHouse" has returned for a second time evading the block as an IP; I believe there is enough circumstantial evidence to warrant a CU; edits re. the same info on the article . If it's not them, or if I'm being paranoid, I apologize for the trouble.

RoadHouse was blocked;
- 14 May 2011 72h "Abusing multiple accounts"
- 15 June 2011 1w "Spam / advertising-only account: repeat blogspam"
- 8 July 2011 indef "Disruptiive editing with IP's to avoid scutiny, BLP violations, copyright violations...."
See the two ANI archives User:RoadHouse -- general disruption, using IPs to avoid scrutiny, NFCC violations and Return of indef blocked User:RoadHouse
- In the following, "IP" refers to 213.196.211.14
Similarities
- RoadHouse edited the article Joe Rogan (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) twice [6] [7]; all the IPs edits are related to that article. (RoadHouse did edit around 200 articles, all bios)
- One of those RoadHouse edits removed info from Joe Rogan relating to Psychedelics [8]; the IP is concerned about UNDUE re. Rogan's take on e.g. drugs etc [9]
- IP asks about 'Controversy sections' on helpdesk [10]; RoadHouse often edited BLP 'controversy' sections [11] [12] [13]
- The IP states they've edited with a user account in the past [14]
- They appear to be similarly skilled with wiki-code
- Their language/style on talk page edits is similar
Disparity
- In the previous investigation, the IPs geolocated to a specific area in the USA; this IP is in another country. Chzz ► 22:29, 31 July 2011 (UTC)

- Administrator note CU won't connect an account to an IP. Nevertheless, it's clear that this IP is not new to Wikipedia. Per behavioral evidence I've blocked the IP for a week. — HelloAnnyong (say whaaat?!) 23:57, 31 July 2011 (UTC)
