I've been informally blocking these folks for block evasion without an SPI, but this is ongoing so I'm noting this in a formal SPI. This editor's been making ongoing disruptive edits to horror film articles (particularly involving the decades in Horror film, originally as 152.86.164.35 (talk · tag · contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RBLs · proxy check · block user · spi block · block log · cross-wiki contribs · CheckUser (log)) and IP-hopping elsewhere, recently moving on to named accounts. I am dead certain that Drewfrench, Judyhopkins, and Tinamcgarll are the same, less sure about Jinnifer. GeneralNotability (talk) 16:47, 26 September 2020 (UTC)

This account appears to be a recreation of User:Judyhopkins, User:Drewfrench, and User:Tinamcgarll, which have been blocked by GeneralNotability. This problem goes back farther, but these are the three most recent.   // Timothy :: talk  05:14, 28 September 2020 (UTC)

IP address used in May to restore edits made by various socks, now "awake" again and restoring same edits. Edit summaries are a match, too. Grandpallama (talk) 19:17, 10 November 2020 (UTC)

I just noticed this same IP also edit warred in material that was tied to another set of sockpuppet accounts . Looks like the Jinnifer investigations may actually be a subset of the REVOSMITTY stuff. Grandpallama (talk) 19:23, 10 November 2020 (UTC)

All edits are simply reinstating prior edits by socks, on the same articles targeted by the sockmaster. Same edit summary types, same reasoning, same nonsense excuses on the userpage (of the named sock account). Diffs can be provided, but the overlap is pretty clear. Grandpallama (talk) 01:49, 7 April 2021 (UTC)

Drmies, please take a look at newly-registered User:Jessicakacorchjr., too. I'm hoping this isn't about to become whackamole. Thanks. Grandpallama (talk) 02:05, 7 April 2021 (UTC)

WP:DUCK. Another sock, picking up where the ones blocked last week by Drmies left off. Diffs and language match those of the previous socks, and messages left on my talkpage look pretty familiar, too, worrying about "crooked" lines. Grandpallama (talk) 19:03, 20 April 2021 (UTC)

Same behavior and subjects of interest (mainly Horror film, but Thriller film as well) and bothering Grandpallama as the other Jinnifer Puppets have done. Zinnober9 (talk) 02:08, 12 June 2021 (UTC)

Suspected sock made death threats to both my and Grandpallama's userpages. my talk page Grandpallama Zinnober9 (talk) 03:29, 12 June 2021 (UTC)

Comments by other users

Given the sheer number of IPs and socks at this point (most of the latter of which have been blocked without being logged here), the persistence of the sockmaster, and the increased harassment of users at their talkpages (escalating to death threats), I would advocate for the creation of a related LTA page. This editor has become an obnoxious timesink. Grandpallama (talk) 03:07, 12 June 2021 (UTC)

So these are all CU-confirmed with each other. Grandpallama and MrOllie suggested Jinnifer, and my only hesitation is the geolocation, which is why I'm filing this. They edit like User:Penhaot10028, who was CU-blocked by NinjaRobotPirate. Thanks for your help. Drmies (talk) 21:18, 29 November 2021 (UTC)

Jinnifer (and socks) and Penhaot10028 (and socks) have similar editing patterns and edit summaries, and some of the same preoccupations to the degree that I think they are likely the same editor, unless the geolocation somehow completely rules that out. The edit summaries at Nightbreed read completely like Jinnifer. Grandpallama (talk) 14:27, 30 November 2021 (UTC)

Being used to make edits say that Spider-Man and Batman are Marvel's DC's, respectively, main protagonists which is a primary agenda of previous Jinnifer accounts. See Superhero fiction, Marvel Universe & DC Universe histories. NJZombie (talk) 02:34, 2 December 2021 (UTC)

Jinnifer's latest sock is using an account name similar to mine in order to carry out their usual routine of asking other editors, including myself, to change the decades sections of the Horror film article, as usual. As tonight's edits have continued to be reverted, they have started to make threats, as Jinnifer has also done in the past. Eventually, they moved on to an IP address, 166.205.222.59, they had used earlier in the day to continue making their usual edits. Since then, another two IP addresses have taken up the cause of removing genres from A Nightmare on Elm Street and Halloween (1978 film), which are the exact genre edits previous Jinnifer accounts consistently attempt to make. More of the same edits and harassment of user's accounts to make their decades changes coming from Doherclar since the previous lines were written. NJZombie (talk) 23:01, 4 December 2021 (UTC)

Jinnifer has returned again tonight with multiple genre war edits on the usual pages, using an IP address on one of their usual ranges. Range block suggested if possible.

IP is a IP hopping editor avoid a ban under the user name User:Jinnifer. Making the same requests to edit the horror film article as the IP here who makes similar requests as here. They have been following me through several foreign language wikis asking me and other users to make the same changes here. Per the accounts on Jinnifer, they have been doing this for over two years.
