Discussion about question 14

:::Thank you for your direct answer, which was what I wished to hear. Kiefer.Wolfowitz 20:11, 21 January 2013 (UTC)

:That's not an appropriate question, Kiefer, and Lord Roem should feel free not to answer. --Rschen7754 18:32, 21 January 2013 (UTC)

::On the contrary, Rschen7754,

::The community has a statement that editors are free to oppose minors by considering their age:

::*Requiring that administrators be adults (a perennial proposal): "Editors are free to use age as a personal rationale for opposing adminship on RfA".

::It is an appropriate question particularly for a candidate who shut down his own RfA last time after having opposition, whose user-name is "Lord", and whose behavior raised concerns of "hat-collecting" from Arbitrator, Administrator, lawyer, and adult Salvio Guiliano.

::RfA nominees are free to ignore any question, and their behavior will be judged by the community. Kiefer.Wolfowitz 18:48, 21 January 2013 (UTC)

:::The problem is that you are making the candidate disclose their age, which is highly inappropriate. --Rschen7754 18:51, 21 January 2013 (UTC)

::::I agree that the question is inappropriate although the candidate has answered anyway. The link provided by Kiefer does not say that the question is appropriate, only that a voter may use a candidate's age as a reason for opposing the RfA. In my mind, that would apply if the candidate voluntarily disclosed their age, which some editors do.--Bbb23 (talk) 21:03, 21 January 2013 (UTC)

:::::After all, I am with Rschen on this one. Asking for age is extremely inappropriate. Cmach7 (talk) 23:12, 21 January 2013 (UTC)

::::::Please consult a dictionary. I did not ask for his age. I asked whether he was an adult. Kiefer.Wolfowitz 01:29, 22 January 2013 (UTC)

:::::::Back off guys, Kiefer did not ask his age. Asking if he is an adult != "How old are you?" Move on.--v/r - TP 02:23, 22 January 2013 (UTC)

::::::::We shouldn't be ageist in appointing admins: whether a candidate is viewed to be generally capable, trustworthy, honest, etc. is obviously much more important than age alone. Some older users are arguably just as likely to act in immature ways as some younger users. However, I see no harm in asking as to whether candidates are minors. -- Trevj (talk) 08:40, 23 January 2013 (UTC)

:::::::::Thanks for your thoughtful comments, Trevj. I did not use the word "only", and I agree that adulthood is not the sole criterion. I agree that some adults (as well as minors) should not be administrators. Kiefer.Wolfowitz 22:01, 23 January 2013 (UTC)
