Ethel Caterham days lived is wrong edit
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)
- GRG also lists Caterham as 114 years 205 days on March 14. https://gerontology.fandom.com/wiki/Oldest_living_people GermanShepherd1983 (talk) 17:45, 14 March 2024 (UTC)
- Gerontology wikia is NOT a reliable source. The age is correct based on the date as per the UTC. DerbyCountyinNZ (Talk Contribs) 19:53, 14 March 2024 (UTC)
- So GRG is the authoritative word on verification but not length of time they've lived? OK, if you say so. GermanShepherd1983 (talk) 02:25, 15 March 2024 (UTC)
- The Gerontology Wiki is not affliliated with the GRG. Milus331 (talk) 17:12, 19 March 2024 (UTC)

Updates edit
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)
Update of men oldest edit
the oldest man is currently https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fauja_Singh none the one mentioned on this page
Keep a watch for Vincent Dransfield edit
I do not see Vincent Dransfield listed yet in "Supercentenarian Data -- Table E". Gerontology Research Group Index Page, as of [1997 - 2007]. 2024-04-02. 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.
As of 28 August 2025[update], 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.
