This was not how we had planned to drop this "wordbomb" but the word seems to have gotten out in another venue this morning no use going for the element of surprise on Wikipedia itself as we'd planned.

So I submit for your approval the recently confirmed news that SlimVirgin feels WP:SOCK does not apply to her, surprise surprise. There are others, to be revealed shortly, but for now, go have a blast finding all then "synchronicity" between Slim and Jon513 (and quick before it all starts to disappear).

I'm interested, but searching through pages and pages of contribs is not what I call "a blast." Could you explain your reasoning and post your findings here instead?

You are giving us no evidence. How was this "confirmed"?

You'll see soon enough. Sorry I can't go farther than that. Sources and methods, you know. Gotta do this right.

I hadn't intended to say even this much at this point, but an "associate" got a little anxious and spilled the beans elsewhere, so I felt obligated to at least mention it here.

But knowing as much as I've told you should enable you to do some quick comparisons of edit histories.

In the case of Jon513, a big clue is found in SlimVirgin's wikifast stunt of a couple months back.

Here's another one to sate you for now: Just go throught the edit histories of this article and its talk page to see all sorts of synchrinicities emerge. Take your time...nothing is obvious at first. Pay attention to the timestamps and the many comings and goings.

More soon.

As much as I would love this to be true, I think it is probably a snipe hunt. SV had her snit on May 29 and came back on June 4. Jon513 made no edits between May31 and June 3. That isn't going to convince anyone to run a checkuser. And vis Partnership_minyan, SV edited it on 3 days: May 9, May 11, Jun21, and Jon513 never edited it.

On the other hand, maybe I'm just not as clever as you ...
