Longevity myths

I hope is good here: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Longevity_myths&action=historysubmit&diff=384943164&oldid=384939591 Wikimanno (talk) 08:05, 15 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Webb

This has happened before; the GRG site sometimes is slower to process on some computers than others. The list probably has Webb listed and is updated, but we can't see it, a user may have a good computer and it worked. Leave her as validated (for now). --Nick Ornstein (talk) 00:34, 29 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Vicenta Pineda Santacruz

Hi DHanson317,

May I know your justification for restoring Vicenta Pineda Santacruz to the unverified supercentenarians page? Brendan (^TalK|_ContriB) 05:42, 12 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I was the one who originally removed it. She originally claimed 110 back in May, then during her birthday, she claimed 113. Who knows why? Maybe one journalist decided to change her birthdate and then all the other articles followed suit or it is a typo. Regardless, I was under the impression that the lower, more likely age is usually the one that is put down and is accepted. In the case of Rose Axelrod, which was removed, her lower age of 106 was taken instead of the 110 claim. I don't think she should be removed just because 113 was claimed at one point. DHanson317 (talk) 06:12, 12 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, I see your point... but Santacruz did have an entry on Longevity claims... Brendan (^TalK|_ContriB) 07:28, 12 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It got removed on Longevity claims so I thought that it probably should go back on the main page. DHanson317 (talk) 07:54, 12 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Oh. I just found that out. Thanks for your patience with this matter. Brendan (^TalK|_ContriB) 08:40, 12 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Great work

I was checking through the country/continent supercentenarian articles and I saw that you cited every source to the right place on the GRG from Austria to Japan (good idea taking a rest). Thank you for saving me from hours of work. Believe you me, it takes a lot of work to do that. Keep it up! --Nick Ornstein (talk) 01:38, 23 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

They definitely need sources so people won't put up false information. DHanson317 (talk) 03:18, 23 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Flags

Please read MOS:FLAG in full rather cherrypicking from it, and plaese don't restore the flags to List of French supercentenarians.

Do you want me to quote all the sections of MOS:FLAG which apply here? --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 04:05, 26 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Yes please. I would like to know which ones apply. Because if there are any, I cannot find it. DHanson317 (talk) 04:07, 26 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

There are lots of them:

When icons are added excessively, they clutter the page and become redundant
Do not emphasize nationality without good reason
Do not use flags to indicate locations of birth and death (which is precisely what they are being used for in that list, placing for example Italian, Spanish and American flags next to ppl who died outside France without evidence that they changed their nationality)
Do not use subnational flags without direct relevance. why exactly do you believe that the use of obscure subnational flags is directly relevant to these people?

--BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 04:13, 26 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

See a more detailed explanation at User talk:SiameseTurtle#Flags_on_lists_of_old_people. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 14:51, 26 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You reverted, requesting clarification. Please discuss this. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 15:46, 27 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

David, I have asked you three times to discuss why you believe that these lists should be an exception to MOS:FLAG, but you have declined to do so. Instead, you have just restored the flags yet again, without discussion. I will remove them again, and if you persist in restoring them without a serious effort at discussion, I will take this further. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 02:23, 29 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Essentially, SiameseTurtle took the words out of my mouth. I do not believe that the flags are visually distracting or irrelevant. DHanson317 (talk) 02:27, 29 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Please read MOS:FLAG, and read the list of probs at User_talk:SiameseTurtle#Flags_on_lists_of_old_people.

The problems are not limited to being visually distracting or irrelevant, and include misleading readers as to nationality. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 02:30, 29 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Misleading readers should not be a problem. The tables clearly indicate place of birth and place and death. Not nationality. If a reader would like to make the inference that where one is born and/or where one dies indicates their nationality then that is up to the reader's own decision. DHanson317 (talk) 02:34, 29 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

That issue is covered by the guidelines, which explain very clearly that the use of the flag visually conveys nationality, even if the text says otherwise.

The guideline also explicitly deprecates using flags for regions ... and there is a long list of other problems.

Please do try to engage with the guidelines seriously, rather than giving brief replies to along list of problems. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 02:38, 29 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

2 things

International immigrant records

I personally do not agree on keeping this section. The primary section is supposed to be about the oldest born in a state. As you know, Mortensen, Ray, and Kinase were born elsewhere.

For this section, I think it should be the oldest from each country, like I once had. But it doesn't look like anyone wants it. DHanson317 (talk) 21:57, 31 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Kashi Ram Rai

Tons of other articles note centenarians as "celebrating" their birthday on a particular. We list those cases as being born on the day that they celebrate. We never know, he may have been born on January 1, do chances seem very slim? Yes. But we shouldn't assume he was born on another day. I myself would keep him on the page. --Nick Ornstein (talk) 17:06, 31 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

But we can't assume what day he was born on because it never explicitly said. We know that centenarians always don't celebrate their birthday on the actual day of their birthday. One example was Helen Netherton who celebrated her 110th birthday two months prior. DHanson317 (talk) 21:59, 31 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Anonymous French cases

In case you missed the list posted by one of the French correspondents, they posted a list of the oldest French people on the WOP. [1] You notice two people born 10 March 1901, but both are living in two different places. There are some errors detected in the list, such as André Coudrat being born 28 June 1902, rather than 9 July. Marie-Cressence Madacène being born in 1902, rather than 1903. --Nick Ornstein (talk) 03:17, 21 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Nomination of List of Swiss supercentenarians for deletion

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article List of Swiss supercentenarians is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of Swiss supercentenarians until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on good quality evidence, and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion template from the top of the article. David in DC (talk) 20:25, 15 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Please refrain from personal attacks

This edit summary violates WP:NPA. You've used the personal pronoun "you" and yours is the edit immediately after mine, and responding to my cite requests. If you must deprecate, you may find it useful to try to write in the third person.

I take no position on the factual content of your edit summary: "[u]nbelievable...your are seriously one of the most ignorant people ever...." But it seems doubtful. Your are probably seriously underestimating the ignorance of others, both now and throughout history. David in DC (talk) 17:28, 17 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

List of living supercentenarians

Hello! Could you explain why you reverted my edit to the List of living supercentenarians article? Thanks in advance, Hey mid (contribs) 13:50, 21 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for clarifying why the Saro Dursun claim can't be included in the article. I should probably be punished for not reading the rules for inclusion. But I do feel confused by the fact that the Saro Dursun AFD closed as redirect to this article, plus the fact that the descriptions for the lists are a little bit confusing as well. "but whose lifespan is not documented" - what does that mean? Given that the official population registers in Sweden report this birth date, isn't her lifespan "documented" then? But I will follow your advice and put it in the Longevity claims article. Hey mid (contribs) 18:03, 21 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

If the List of European supercentenarians is only for supercentenarians aged 113 or under, then the article text should state that. Currently it doesn't. Hey mid (contribs) 16:48, 26 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

It is implied based on the list of living supercentenarians list. Also, the population registers aren't necessarily confirmation that she is still living. There needs to be more concrete evidence.DHanson317 (talk) 16:53, 26 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Gladys Ada Elizabeth HOOPER - 18th January 1903

I have tried contacting the GRG but they are either significantly behind in processing claims or not interested in British supercentenarians. Their lists are dominated by U.S. and Japanese claims. I have sent Birth & Christening records (which both show date of birth) for Gladys Hooper born 18th January 1903. I have also sent photographs of her with her 111th birthday card from HM The Queen and a telegram congratulating her on her 111th birthday from Iain Duncan-Smith, Minister for Works & Pensions. And yet this entry onto 'official' lists is still 'pending'. I have asked GRG what other information they require - but received no answer.

As my Grandmother does not drive or go abroad she has no license or passport! What other evidence is required for 'validation'?
