In that case it should be easy to insert a link to a page that briefly explains your assertion. >From Gil's comment, it sounds likely that the explanation won't be digestible >to non-lawyers. That's no problem. Just state the facts: Regulation such-and-such in jurisdiction whatever, requires DOB for circumstances xxx. > I know this from years upon years of experience in many > widely-varied online communities. There are probably lots of other-kinds of people like me who are not in the habit of registering at lots of communities and who are amazed to be asked DOB. I just clicked "create account" at Wikipedia and there is no requirement for DOB, yet they still have a privacy statement! I don't recall being asked DOB for my Google account (gmail and Google Groups). I'm not saying that Wikia is wrong; I'm pointing out that I have registered with several other organisations with no DOB requirement, so some explanation should be provided on Wikia.
