:::There were only a handful of oppose comments which explicitly referenced age. I would say a greater issue in this RFA was the lack of significant content contributions. However, there was certainly some doubt about the candidate's maturity, which is indeed a legitimate concern. Please note that maturity and age, while often correlated, are separate issues. I became an admin myself when I was 15 (of course, RFA was a much different process in 2004), so I am sympathetic to allowing teenagers to become administrators. I would argue that the maturity I and other teenage would-be admins displayed was sufficient regardless of age, and there was no consensus that this user displayed the same requisite maturity. There is no requirement that prospective admins reveal their age or any personal information about themselves. [[On the Internet, nobody knows you're a dog]], but if you bark or seem concerned with playing fetch, they could find out. So in conclusion, age did not play a significant role in this RFA, nor should this RFA establish any sort of precedent regarding age of admins, which remains a case by case issue.

==Name problem==

I created an account finally after cajoling by my friend and called it BarkingMoon. Then I tried to make it on Commons and it wouldn't let me, something about a unified system. But Commons did let me make BarkingMoon7. So now my two names don't match and I really like BarkingMoon. I don't understand this. Can someone help me out?
