November 2011

I'm ïn arbitration"am I? Care to provide evidence of this? Or are you referring to the incident earlier this year when a number of editors were cited in arbitration case which resulted in the, fully deserved, banning of the editor who brought the case up? None of which affects the unconstructive editing you persist in doing by changing tables before the daye has changed thereby introducing incorrect information. How about you waiting until the date has changed so that the update is correct? DerbyCountyinNZ 06:50, 26 November 2011 (UTC)

Oldest people list

Gotta say, you are there just about everyday updating the table. Thanks.--ZooFamily (talk) 00:06, 1 October 2012 (UTC)

Are you doing the oldest person updates by hand? Kd4ttc (talk) 03:30, 1 December 2013 (UTC)

Jiroemon Kimura

Hello, because you normally maintain the tables, I want to ask a question. Is it possible I could have the honor of updating the table of oldest verified males when Jiroemon Kimura ties Christian Mortensen in an hour? You (or whoever else is there) would still do the oldest person table for that day if you would agree to this. I'm not usually this gleeful about my edits but this would be one of the most wonderful edit I have done here so far and would make me feel really happy. Thank you for reading this and considering what I have asked. --Thebirdlover (talk) 22:59, 26 December 2012 (UTC)

List of the verified oldest people

Thank you very much for list update every day. Really thank you.

List of Japanese supercentenarians has not been updated for a long time. This also needs to be updated.--219.111.171.98 (talk) 09:50, 24 April 2014 (UTC)

List of 115+ table in Supercentenarian needs to be updated as it is well out of date. Why no edit function? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 110.148.180.178 (talk) 09:41, 3 November 2014 (UTC)

June 2014

Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Misplaced Pages, as you did to List of supercentenarians who died in 2014, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear constructive and has been reverted. Please make use of the sandbox if you'd like to experiment with test edits. Thank you. dsprc 01:42, 9 June 2014 (UTC)

The reason I reverted your nonconstructive edit is because these tables violate the Accessibility guidelines. Please see my comments on the article's talk page: Talk:List of supercentenarians who died in 2014. These changes were made by me, with the recommendation from editors at the Tea-house, where I went for consultation on how to improve the articles for blind and visually impaired users. All of these tables violate the guidelines for accessibility, and I intend to fix them so blind people can use Misplaced Pages just like everyone else. Instead of thwarting my attempts toward opening this information to the visually impaired, please join with me to make sure they have the same access sighted people do by assisting in fixing all these tables - which is a very cumbersome task because of their length and multiplicity; please be that help. Thank you. dsprc 01:52, 9 June 2014 (UTC)

I have reverted your attempts to remove the additional cells from List of supercentenarians from the United States. I have also posted to the articles talk page as I did at Talk:List of supercentenarians who died in 2014. Please engage in open discussion in either one of the talk pages to work out structure and state of these pages. Thank you. dsprc 20:21, 15 June 2014 (UTC)

Reverting

Regarding your edits at , please review Misplaced Pages:Reverting. I have explained my edits on the talk page. If you disagree with them, let's discuss the changes there. Reverting without discussing is a waste of time. Also, you should be familiar with WP:3RR. Regards, Ground Zero | t 11:02, 14 July 2014 (UTC)

Italian supercentenarians table updates

I'm just stopping by to say thank you for letting me do the table updates for List of Italian supercentenarians for the past twelve available days. I will do the table updates for List of Italian supercentenarians every day that I am available to do them from now on. Deaths in 2013 (talk) 03:47, 7 October 2014 (UTC)

Bad news: I will not be able to do the updates until I can get a new computer mouse since the right click of the mouse that I use to copy and paste the names to move in rank does not work. You will have to do it until I can get a computer mouse that I can use to do the updates again. Deaths in 2013 (talk) 02:23, 26 October 2014 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for October 11

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Misplaced Pages appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Margaret Fulton, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Nairn, Scotland. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Reason for leave-out

Regarding this edit to List of living supercentenarians: https://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=List_of_living_supercentenarians&diff=631321143&oldid=631306773 the reason I left out Masae Okaguchi is because she was deceased when the August update of Table EE came out.

Disambiguation link notification for November 27

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Misplaced Pages appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Merle Barwis, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Victoria.

Invalid Link

Hi,

Thanks for spotting the invalid link for Giannis Papadimitriou on List of living centenarians. A Misplaced Pages page for this man does exist in Greek, here is the link:

https://el.wikipedia.org/%CE%93%CE%B9%CE%AC%CE%BD%CE%BD%CE%B7%CF%82_%CE%A0%CE%B1%CF%80%CE%B1%CE%B4%CE%B7%CE%BC%CE%B7%CF%84%CF%81%CE%AF%CE%BF%CF%85_(%CE%B2%CE%BF%CF%85%CE%BB%CE%B5%CF%85%CF%84%CE%AE%CF%82)

However, there is a different man with the same name who has an English Misplaced Pages article, so it directs straight to that. What can be done?

Cheers,

Susannah Mushatt Jones

Susannah Mushatt Jones (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Mushatt Jones is one of the last two surviving verified people who were born in the 1800s.

The verb to be in the past continuous tense were in this case refers to the two people who were born in the 1800s, not to "one of" them. Hence the plural form "were born" is correct. "Was born" would only be correct if the verb referred to a singular subject, as does the first instance "is". Please do not change it again. General Ization 10:14, 22 June 2015 (UTC)

Hello, can you please redirect the name Nabi Tajima in the list of the 100 oldest verified people to her page! Thank you! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 104.221.73.64 (talk) 17:10, 10 July 2015 (UTC)

Old people

Please don't get into an edit war over this. The issue on time zone was discussed previously on the talk page. Pleas refer to this archive. Nyth63 14:13, 29 July 2015 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for July 30

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Misplaced Pages appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Oldest people, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Eastern Standard Time (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Please carefully read this information:

Further to these sanctions, you want to explain why you wholesale reverted by clean up of an article reintroducing many errors? Legacypac (talk) 05:09, 18 December 2015 (UTC)

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Misplaced Pages arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

This edit was unexpected. as the subject is quite famous and does not require GRG verification. Legacypac (talk) 03:50, 16 January 2016 (UTC)
