It's not a matter of being a "pedophile". I find the image interesting and appealing (even humorous). However I am well aware that it is not wise to share this perspective with a 12 year old girl. It is fundamental reality that a substantial part of our readership is in the junior high school range. I know from my own experience that I seldom consulted an encyclopedia after I was about 13. There is a saying, "You take your victim as you find them" We need to be aware and responsible.
The thought of pedophiles using Wikipedia for mass grooming is... disturbing, to say the least. I don't think we need to be set off into a mass panic or a witch-hunt, but it does give me that "brrrr" sensation.
