Talk:List of United States Presidents by longevity

message: Maybe it would be a better idea to only recalculate this on certain days, such as January 1 of each year, plus whenever a currently living president dies.  With this haphazard sort of "recalculate-when-we-feel-like-it" deal now, I've noticed that a lot of the time, the numbers are actually inaccuate.  Since people are coming through and recalculating them at will, it's happening too often for other users to go through and make sure the changes were all correct.  Anyone have any comments?  —Cleared as filed. 12:23, 13 November 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I think that if it were updated on the 1st of every month it would be good, as well as when one of them dies. That way there is a set day for it to be updated, and its not so random. Kaiser matias 21:37, 30 December 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Picking days to recalculate this

message: 213.226.226.128 accidentally updated only the years/day column, which resulted in the days only column being out of date.   Subsequent editors only added days on top of this error.  I ran a date calculator for Ford, Bush, Carter, Clinton, and Bush to update for January 1 2006. OCNative 04:04, 1 January 2006 (UTC)

message: Ooh, looks like Carter's going to beat Nixon in a few days.  Suggest we do an update then, and the day after.  Morwen - Talk 11:46, 5 January 2006 (UTC)

message: Ford will only pass Reagan as the longest-lived US President on the 12th. Remember Reagan had one more leap-day (1912). GoodDay 15:02, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: November 11th ?

message: Some of the Presidents #of days are incorrect; due to the leap-days not being included. Eventually I'll correct them, however if anyone else wants to, by all means go ahead. PS. the leap years are US Presidential election years. GoodDay 00:59, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Just doesn't add up

message: I think that such a list would be helpful, as a separate article.  It would detail the chronic conditions and fatal conditions suffered by Presidents either before, during or after their term of office.  The Mütter Museum in Philadelphia had a very interesting special exhibition on this subject a few years ago. Spikebrennan 16:05, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

This is not for sure because people can always elect a really old guy for the U.S. President in 2008, 2012 or 2016. -- Toytoy 15:09, 27 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Bush is 82, it won't happen.  84 in 2008, 88 in 2012, 92 in 2016.  People that age won't get nominated. Jjmillerhistorian 23:23, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

message: Just wondering, isn't there an automated template or something that can be used to update the living president's age? I mean, if there's stuff like the  template, there should be something for total days. JQF • Talk • Contribs 20:37, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Leap years

message: After the recent deletion discussion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of United States Presidents by longevity in which this list barely survived I thought maybe it'd be good to take some preemptive steps to save this list.  One of the things raised in the discussion was that there were just too many lists and that users supported certain lists, but not others.  I just spent some time learning how to use sortable lists and I came up with this: User:JayHenry/president.  It's not completely finished yet, but I'm ready to see what people think -- it combines all of the information from List of United States Presidents by longevity, List of United States presidents by age at ascension to office, List of United States Presidents by time as former president, it also includes dates of birth and death, although it would not be a good replacement for those lists, as they contain other information (place, cause, etc.).  The list is fully sortable!  So what do people think?  If we implement this list I'm pretty sure we can prevent president lists from showing up at WP:AFD.  With some help, this could possibly even be a featured list! --JayHenry 21:35, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Proposal for saving these lists

message: I am very sorry this list doesn't exist and I'm thinking about recreating it. We have this list of the US Vice Presidents and of the First Ladies of the US. There are now, 16 months after the discussion above, a lot of lists which don't deserve to exist if this one doesn't exist. Please comment! Calle Widmann (talk) 07:46, 28 September 2008 (UTC)
