This article is part of the Age of consent series of articles project.

In the interest of accuracy and quality it was decided by consensus to hold these pages to a high standard of verification and to avoid ambiguity through the use of prose (not dot points) discussing the relevant statutes, case law or other authorities.

To this end all information must be properly referenced. Where writing about legislation or other law, the appropriate statutes and similar must be cited. Where appropriate, portions of the legislation can be quoted. Where possible, a link to an up-to-date online copy of the legislation can be included (preferably, but not necessarily, in English). It is preferable to include any such references in-line, rather than in a separate <ref> section at the bottom of the page. This is to make it easier for readers to find the references in context.

The unfettered age of consent should be in bold text, in order that it stand out. No other ages should be in bold text. Any exceptions to should then be discussed afterwards (close in age exceptions, same sex relations etc).

For an example of a properly formatted article see the Ages of consent in Australia and Oceania.

*(The original age of consent formatting discussions began here)

Netherlands

The section in this article on the Netherlands describes the situation from 1990 to 2002, but does not say what happened in 2002 to change this, nor what the situation is now. This information should be included in the article if anyone knows the answer. It would also be interesting, but a lesser priority, to hear about how it worked before 1990.

Pedophila advocacy section

I changed "Groups" to "Past groups" because VM has been defunct for at least six years and NAMbLA hasn't been organized in even longer (according to the articles on Misplaced Pages, anyway).

To be frank, I'm not sure organized pedophile advocacy even exists today—unless you count groups that advocate for the treatment and destigmatization of non-offenders, but those groups do not seek to lower the age of consent. While I think this section could be expanded with historical information, currently it reads as though pedo advocacy is an actual thing with at least fringe public support. This feels more like fearmongering than accurate reporting.

If I'm incorrect and there is actual pedophile advocacy out there today supporting downward AoC reform, a citation should definitely be added. I'm not personally interested in trolling the dark corners of the internet to find it. TricksterWolf (talk) 15:32, 7 December 2021 (UTC)

@TricksterWolf: In light of your statement that NAMBLA is no longer active, how do you explain the existence of their home page ("nambla" + ".org") being live?
Well, anybody can put up a web page. And there are zombie web pages where they bought the 25-year package I guess, or there's an automatic annual withdrawal of $25 or something from a still-active bank account.
I'm not saying this is the case here, but maybe. THo I do see a couple entries dated 2021. Herostratus (talk) 18:52, 7 December 2021 (UTC)

Possible additions to See also section

There are several relatively obvious omissions from the "see also" section, but rather than suggest a minimalist set of additions, I am offering this fairly "expansive" set of possible additions to the "see also" section. Hopefully we could get a consensus of which ones should actually be added.
