I personally suspect Ron is slightly younger than Kim. They are in the same grade, Ron's birthday is at the end of summer and I don't believe Ron has ever been held back, despite his grades.
The Wiki ages really might not be correct. For one thing, I think Kim's birthday really is in June like some people theorize. That means she's 15 her whole sophomore year (season 1 and the season 2 eps that come before ASiT) and 16 her whole Junior year (after ASiT) If her birthday is earlier than that, she would have been 17 in So the Drama and likely most, if not all of S3, though I stand by her being 16.
The only reason I can think of that they've never mined the potential gold of a birthday ep is because they really don't want fans nailing down their ages.

Well, of course not.
Then, the KP fans will be having parties for the characters...

I think he meant that if we know their ages, we'll be counting down the days till they're 'legal'

Well, yeah.
It'll be like Disney Channel Adult or MTV.

Heh. In the fic I did right before my recently completed one, KP - Countdown, there actually was a website devoted to just that (remember when they did it for Mary Kate and Ashley?)
The joke was that Wade was the one who put it up (so he could capture the IP addresses of known perverts in order to protect KP)

I would do it for Kim.
In my KPD Universe, her birthday is March 29, 1987 In my KPAK Universe, her birthday is March 29, 1988. As she's 24 in 2012. And in other fics, it's 87 depending on my mood.
Hey, everyone vote for Kim in 2008!

In mine, it's July 29 (my anniv) 1988. Ron's is a week later (I had to explain why he thought he was a virgo) Shego's b/d is April 15, 1982.

On the same subject, throughout my fics, I say that my character, Ashley Possible-Benlove is 2 months younger than Kim. I eventually gave her a birthdate. 59 days younger than Kim. May 28, 1987. ;d

Man, I hope Kim and Ron are legal in season 4. They'll be the only main characters in a D.C. original series that are.

Keeping Kim 17 during S4 keeps her a minor, and that would be more appealing to the younger members of the audience.

Who cares about the younger audience members? This is Disney's cash cow for adults. Most of the Kp fans who are like... fanatics about it are like 16 and over.
A 9 year old is not gonna be like, buying all the stuff and like writing fanfics or trying to save the show or something.

A 9 year old is not gonna be like, buying all the stuff and like writing fanfics or trying to save the show or something. She, therein lay the rub. Mark, Bob, Steve and Co. know this, but Disney exerts a lot of control over the franchise. They want KP to be a kids show...period. Look at the nature of the toys. I just ordered a red haired, green eyed head to construct my own KP figure in a more realistic style. All the toys seem to be made for 9 year old girls. Long story short, I don't think Disney is very smart with the whole thing, but they think only small kids watch (though I still can't explain the 12:30am showing)
