But what is YOUR view on minors becoming admins here on Wikipedia? I'm just curious as to what your opinion is. Other editors, please allow Jimbo answer himself.

:I have no very strong opinion about it. There are people who behave in petulant, ill-mannered, and immature ways. They should not be admins. Whether there is a strong correlation between bad behavior of that kind, and age, I don't know. I do think that, in general, most of our admins should be college students or graduates. Some gifted and profoundly gifted young people would be equally qualified.--[[User:Jimbo Wales|Jimbo Wales]] ([[User talk:Jimbo Wales#top|talk]]) 20:22, 27 June 2008 (UTC) |

heated discussion

Discrimination against young editors
Lately, a 12 year old editor was denied Adminship because of his age. One editor commented: "how can I trust an editor who has a bedtime to be an admin". I find that horrible and so now there is a active discussion going on and I want you to join in. The discussion is taking place here.Gears Of War 22:27, 25 June 2008 (UTC)
- I concur a policy must be made concerning this issue. It should not be ignored as taboo or something.In a addition discussions also exist on the RfA talkpage and my own talkpage.--Xp54321 (Hello! • Contribs) 22:31, 25 June 2008 (UTC)
- Here's hoping the kid admin supporters one day learn the difference between the articles "a" and "an". - Cool as a Cuke (talk) 10:25, 26 June 2008 (UTC)
Edit summary usage... broken?
Hi, I was reading your nice user page when I've tried to click on this link: edit summary usage. But... it seems broken :-) Maybe it's just temporary problem, so there's no need to delete it, but I thought that it should be better to let you know that ;-) --Filnik dimmi! 11:03, 26 June 2008 (UTC)
The summary of a long needless dispute
In the end of the situation of the kids vrs adults, a cabal was formed to hopfully rebel against the discrimination. Eventualy it was deleted and a user retired because of the stress. I nearly retired and so did aother memeber. A WP:RFA, we closed the discussion deciding that it was getting way out of hand. I have lost many friends because of this refute but it is finnally over.Gears Of War 13:11, 26 June 2008 (UTC)
Greetings from a fellow Wikipedian!
I just happened across your userpage while looking at userboxes. So I just thought I'd say "Hi" and tell you how much I enjoy Wikipedia and being an editor here. I know you're busy, so I'll be off. ;) --THE FOUNDERS INTENT TALK 13:46, 26 June 2008 (UTC)
Yeah man. Again. You've done humanity a great service by starting this project! We love you. Und ja, we do.xD Germans a pretty good language. I know a little, but... i've allways hard a hard time pronouncing words right. I'll THINK i'm saying it right, and then find a person to speak german too, and they'll tell me its all wrong. Anyways. Just dropping by... I wonder if you check this page... Cindy Flynn (talk) 03:32, 27 June 2008 (UTC)
Board election complete
Well, Ting Chen has wrapped up the victory. Congratulations! Thank heavens that idiot Thekohser did not do well. LAST PLACE, in fact. HA HA HAAAAHHH!!! -- Cool as a Cuke (talk) 18:41, 26 June 2008 (UTC)
- It's really not at all necessary to insult Thekohser like that. ⇒SWATJester Son of the Defender 19:02, 26 June 2008 (UTC)
- Were you a candidate? Did you take the time analyzing problems and constructing solutions to them? Did you "out" yourself? I have the highest regard for ALL candidates, am glad an "international" candidate made it as wikipedia IS international. I do think there are quite a few "idiots" on the en.wiki. --Jacina (talk) 07:53, 27 June 2008 (UTC)
