My account will be old enough to vote in April 2023. I haven't become an administrator, I've stayed a little more focused on Fraternities and Sororities. I've recently run into editors who are younger than my account, born after April 1995. It is fascinating to deal with editors who have never known a world *without* Wikipedia, and who think it is *normal* for web searches for gigantic companies to show Wikipedia's page about them on the first screen. I've seen people and companies *beg* to have Wikipedia pages about them and others who assume that everything that web searches have about them *comes* from Wikipedia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Naraht (talk • contribs) 16:01, 1 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Hmm. My account turned 18 back in October 2020, & no I'm not the most senior active editor here. (There are a few more around, quietly lurking in the shadows. I guess we all need to get a life.) My memoirs about my tenure here would be notably less optimistic. -- llywrch (talk) 05:20, 2 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Me too, @Llywrch. My account is a wee pup, a mere 16 years old, but I too would be much less optimistic.
Wikipedia is in general far too reluctant to take a critical look either at the state of Wikipedia's content or the capabilities of editors. This article is yet more of the standard rosy picture. BrownHairedGirl(talk) • (contribs) 13:55, 12 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
