I note this thread began because a debate about Slim's identity, and the massive efforts gone to to conceal edits associated with her, *was on the front page of slashdot*. (Slashdot. Not Wikipedia Review, or Encyclopedia Dramatica, or anyone else; Slashdot, perhaps a classic example of our "natural supporters".)
Slashdot appearances are not as big a deal as they once were - Internet has a much broader reach now. Several days later I see that Google News shows no other source troubling to take up the story. I would say that Slashdot readers are sufficiently savvy to recognize conspiracy theories, and to realize that a story about "infiltration of WP" is a more of a insiders' joke than anything else, like one of those "Linux is a Microsoft plot against Apple" stories that go by from time to time.
