What, no boomers?Bjones

There are now 9 who categorize themselves as boomers. Judging by various factors I'd say Wikipedia is very skewed toward youth. At 29 I seem to be over the hill by Wikipedia standards. People over 40 are very rare with those over 50 being almost non-existent at Wikipedia. Or at least few seem willing to admit to being over 50. In my mind this is one of the biggest, if not the biggest, problems Wikipedia. It skews so young it looks kind of immature at times and encourages a slew of articles about whatever is popular with 15-27 year old men. (As it's disproportionately male too, if not quite as dramatically so)--T. Anthony 09:19, 20 November 2006 (UTC)
