Suspected sockpuppets

 * Tom O'Meara tried to characterize the song "Out of this Club" as a promotional single on the Doll Domination article on 6 May 2023 (Special:Diff/1153398766), but was shortly reverted. Friendlyhelper9949 made his first edit on the same page and removed the same song as a single shortly after beginning editing three months later (Special:Diff/1171152611).
 * Both users have the "Mobile edit, Mobile web edit" tag on all of their edits. The interaction report shows a huge amount of overlap in a number of areas, but mostly focused on Disney shows and related artists.
 * Also note similar edits changing single releases on BTR (album):
 * On the same pages, Tom O'Meara seems to stick to making unsourced changes to genres but Friendlyhelper9949 makes unnecessary changes to tracklists, so there is some confusion. However, both accounts are currently active so this should be easy to verify through checkuser.
 * Analyzing 20 August 2023, a day on which both accounts were highly active, "Friendly" was editing from 00:04 to 03:26, "Tom" began at 5:57 and went till 08:19, "Friendly" began again at 08:23 and went till 09:30, "Tom" began again at 10:11 and went till 17:50, "Friendly" began again at 18:30. This perfectly sinks up with someone logging in and out between two accounts. NØ 00:33, 21 August 2023 (UTC)

 * These accounts appear technically ❌ - they're on different continents, and it doesn't look to me like they're spoofing their locations. Closing without action.  Girth Summit  (blether)  10:53, 21 August 2023 (UTC)
