It may be that I am a minority *here*, but I also think parents are a minority amongst involved editors. I do not see it as detrimental to the encyclopedia; simply, Wikipedia as is is for adults, not for children.
You mean for using, rather than editing? 8^)
But yes, fully concur. Perhaps this ties in with the "writing for the audience" approach, and WP is very rarely written with children in mind. Start typing "rude words" into WP and you will definitely see material that is not "school-safe". Images or articles about violence and violent events can also pop up without a real lot of warning.
