Coincidentally(?) even as we're trying to get the Task Force more together, there have been raging discussions on WP:ANI and Jimmy Wales talk page about this issue. Someone posted this article link on the talk page.
This is amazing.
That's a lot of money.

What data is there to support the claim that the majority of WP editors are "young, white, child-free men." ? The 2011 editor survey

shows the majority are male, but not exactly young (although I guess it depends what you mean by "young") and I don't recall any question about children.
