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.

What are some questions we could ask the user that only a real 13 year
old would know?
Actually, I have a better idea, let's ask him "Who founded Wikipedia?" :)

Don't get me wrong. If Wikipedia was around when I was 14, I so would have
joined WP:Feminism. But, I was a 14 year old riot grrrl using BBSes. ;-)

The on-wiki argument is that there are many areas in that project that don't
actually involve nudie pics, but rather cover
areas of law, etc.<scratches head>

Even before Sanger got involved in publicizing this to the
press, I
was suspicious that this was some kind of agente provocateur thing.
The supposed 13-year-old hasn't actually been doing much of anything.
