Has there been a case of kids handing out information on Wikipedia? Just curious. I don't see most Wikipedians nowadays being social enough to where they could, without looking like a weirdo, ask for personal information like addresses and phone numbers. SpartaN ( talk) 09:56, 24 January 2018 (UTC)
Since the start of this essay mentions that younger editors should never give out personal information, wouldn't the suggestion of encouraging younger editors to write about their school contradict that? The banner even mentions not to give out information about your school. Clovermoss ( talk) 00:43, 19 April 2019 (UTC)
The nutshell states that young editors should never give out any personally identifiable information (name, age, location, school, IP address) on Wikipedia
. On the other hand,
WP:COIEDIT states that you should disclose your COI when involved with affected articles
. Yound editors can't really follow both of these they have a Wikipedia article about themselves and their name is in the article.

"Location" could be as specific as your exact address (which for sure is oversightable) or as broad as the continent you live on. What does "location" specifically refer to? Does it mean a minor shouldn't share their neighborhood? Their city? County? State/province? Country? Or what? interstate five 16:10, 5 June 2022 (UTC)
