Today he would be 24 years old. Moreover, that same page says that he was born in Chicago, but there isn't any evidence I've seen that he lives in Chicago.
When he made this edit

The User:Erik that Murphy wants is nine years younger than Erik A. Kraft in Chicago.
No they are the same age (33). User:Erik was lying about his age, obviously.

Erik presumably learned that Murphy was fishing for him on his forum, as he made an open request to "find Erik" before anyone turned up anything.
I don't see any reason to doubt Erik on his personal details (although now he well wishes he didn't post them.)
That i agree is plausible. How do you explain Erik Kraft's rapid understanding of Wikipedia editing protocol? How do you explain he found User:Erik's page without ColScott saying who he was?
[edit] Also note that user:Erik says he HAS been outed. (Not that he is afraid of being outed).
