Ginrei seems to be making contributions that bear a striking resemblance to Wiki wolfname's contributions. Both users created similar articles for Frankenstein vs. Wolfman (1, 2) and both seem to have attempted to creat articles for the 1977 Italian re-release of Godzilla (1, 2}. Both articles, amongst others, created by both users feature the same M.O.: lack of sources, credibility, and have been moved to draft spaces or deleted by other users for those same reasons. Wiki wolfname was blocked on July 13, 2020 and Ginrei mysteriously surfaced on September 10, 2020 (1). Again, both users have identical edits and have failed to communicate or respond to warnings.

Reported by. They edited the archived case to report this, so I've reverted their edit to the archived case (as the case is archived so should be left unedited) and filed this on their behalf. The message they left was: Dreamy Jazz, ST47: Gojiej is clearly another sock on this farm. They even say as much on their userpage. AleatoryPonderings (talk) 19:50, 3 October 2020 (UTC) I haven't looked at this, but will do now. Dreamy Jazz talk to me ;&#124; my contributions 21:25, 3 October 2020 (UTC)
 * I might look at this later. I'm busy now. Dreamy Jazz talk to me &#124; my contributions 21:37, 3 October 2020 (UTC)

''Accused parties may also comment/discuss in this section below. See Defending yourself against claims.'' Sorry, —I was trying to start a new iteration of this case and then I saw you had already re-opened it. The following is what I was going to say on the new report.

 * Gojiej is the latest addition to a sock farm of accounts who primarily edit on articles related to Japanese film. Wiki wolfname and Ginrei have already been blocked. I suspect Gojiej because they performed exactly the same disruptive move on Snow Country (film) as Ginrei (Ginrei; Gojiej), and, just like Ginrei, removed the AfD tag on Dr. Dada's Aphrodisiac (Ginrei; Gojiej). Gojiej also advertises the fact that they had two previous accounts on their userpage, and requests not to be called a sockpuppet for this reason.

Back in July and September, a user named Wiki wolfname was blocked indef for various reasons, including sock puppetry. Their socks have been identified and blocked as well (1). Enter Wiki wolfea. Who mysteriously surfaced on November 15, 2020 and bears a strikingly identical username to Wiki wolfname. Just like Wiki wolfname, Wiki wolfea doesn't seem to understand how Wiki's rules and guidelines work. Twice I had to remove an unreliable source, (1, 2) only to have Wiki wolfea restore it twice (1, 2) and leave an odd yet amusing message on my talk page schooling me on reliable sources (1). It may be nothing but I just want to make sure. After, Wiki wolfname has a history of creating sock after sock and Wiki wolfea could well be the latest. Armegon (talk) 01:40, 22 November 2020 (UTC)

UPDATE: It seems Wiki wolfea is Wiki wolfname. Wiki wolfea left another message on my talk page confessing he/she is Wiki wolfname and Ginrei (1). Armegon (talk) 04:45, 22 November 2020 (UTC)
