Could someone clue me in?

I need some help with this statement in a Wikipedia article:

Quote:

Johnston Atoll is a popular destination for runaway loli who wish to engage in yuri.

What, pray tell, is a runaway loli?

How does one engage in yuri?

And, am I too old to do it?

It's provocatively dressed young girls that want to meet a Russian Cosmonaut.

Well comrades, duty calls.

Ummm... there's another meaning of "yuri" in the Urban Dictionary

I removed that sentence from the entry as it was bogus. BTW if you check history it was added just one hour before you noticed it, and within 8 hours it was removed by me.

Lolicon (ロリコン?), also romanized as rorikon,[1] is a Japanese portmanteau of the phrase "Lolita complex".[2][3] In Japan, the term describes an attraction to girls,[4] or an individual with such an attraction.[5][6] Outside Japan, the term is less common and most often refers to a genre of manga and anime wherein childlike female characters are depicted in an erotic manner. The phrase is a reference to Vladimir Nabokov's book Lolita, in which a middle-age man becomes sexually obsessed with a twelve-year-old girl.[7] The equivalent term for attraction to (or art pertaining to erotic portrayal of) young boys is shotacon.[8]

Yuri, a Japanese loanword referring to lesbian content in fiction, especially anime and manga.
