Per http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Editor_Survey_2011/Profiles you seem
to be quite mistaken, only 27% are 21 or younger, and 47% are 30+. With
various statistical caveats that I haven't researched, and this is "us"
as in editors, I am not aware of a representative study of readers, and
they would count as editors when they get involved in editorial matters.
