For legal reasons you have to have a minimum age of 18 and kick off anyone who admits they are under 18 or are somehow exposed as being under 18. (Unless all those opposed want to put up their real names and addresses and personally claim full legal and financial responsibility for any criminal charges.)
The question is, is there a legal duty to verify age of those who do not reveal their age? Or who lie about it, should there be a requirement they reveal it?

Whether or not the editor is indeed thirteen years old is probably relatively unimportant.
What matters is that voices in the RfC generally (about 3:1) oppose the idea of a minimum age of 18 for contributors to the WikiProject.
