thread_title:  Update: Shi Ping (1 November 1912-) 

message: According to the age calculator I found Ethel Caterham is only 114 years 205 days old as of March 14, not "206" days.  She shouldn't appear on the list until March 15. GermanShepherd1983 (talk) 13:27, 14 March 2024 (UTC)

thread_title:  Ethel Caterham days lived is wrong 

message: When deceased names are added to the list PLEASE put in the update who was added.   Otherwise we have no way of knowing who was added, just that someone was because whomever was at 100 was bumped out.  Wiki has a place that says "reason for update".   Please make an effort to use it GermanShepherd1983 (talk) 00:55, 7 April 2024 (UTC)

thread_title:  Update of men oldest 

message: I do not see Vincent Dransfield listed yet in  GRG World Supercentenarian Rankings List]; however, given that Dransfield's birth date is 1914-03-28 & that his birthday was six days before GRC compiled the current list, it is probable that he was not a high priority for certification. 
, it appears that Dransfield would be eligible for the List of the verified oldest people#100 verified oldest men, should he live that long & be verified by the GRC.

thread_title:  Keep a watch for Vincent Dransfield

thread_title:  Source 11 is dead 

message: I see by the list that a deceased woman and a deceased man was added but no mention in the update.  Now how is anyone supposed to know WHO was added if you don't put it in the history?   This isn't rocket science and it's not that hard.  In fact, if it's too hard then don't do the update either.   So now can someone tell me who was added to both lists?   Or is that too much work too?
