Identical in how they rarely summarize their edits and never respond to messages on their user talk pages. Both exclusively edit on mobile. Clear overlapping interest in actors' and musicians' BLPs. Adding duplicate links that fail WP:NOTBROKEN.[1][2] Expanding lead sections with links that fail MOS:EGG (i.e., piping award categories and displaying them as the general awards).[3][4] KyleJoantalk 04:15, 30 March 2022 (UTC)

Stale. If a behavioural connection is determined please ping me as I would have some CU results. Not detailing these as they are not a violation of WP:ILLEGIT unless Danny White is a sock of Young English Actor. Dreamy Jazz talk to me | my contributions 10:34, 30 March 2022 (UTC)
- @Dreamy Jazz I spent some time looking at the behavioral side of this. The extensive editing overlap, very similar time cards, the clues noted by KyleJoan above, and a few other hints I see (BEANS) make me reasonably sure these are the same person, but there's a couple of things I spotted that make me doubt my guess. I'd block on a "possible" from you. -- RoySmith (talk) 16:18, 30 March 2022 (UTC)
- It may not mean anything, but this log entry creating another account is interesting. -- RoySmith (talk) 15:37, 30 March 2022 (UTC)
- Hadn't noticed that it was created by Danny White. For the record, the results were that Dan0298 and Danny White were confirmed to each other. No CU logs exist for the master account, so unless Young English Actor is checked on ruwiki where they were recently active, CU won't help.

- I've attempted to flag down a ruwiki CU on IRC to see if they can help with that. -- RoySmith (talk) 16:33, 31 March 2022 (UTC)
