1. The succession you altered was "undisputed oldest person ever recorded". It is not "oldest living person" or "oldest living person within recent times of their death". Even if Fannie Thomas was born before Mary McKinney it doesn't mean she lived longer then Mary Mckinney (or Delina Filkins for that matter). Please see my next point about Fannie for a potential solution...
Fannie Thomas is the first person to live a longer life after Delina Filkins. Neal 23:19, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
2. Fannie Thomas- wikipedia has no information on Fannie Thomas, feel free to fill it in. If she reached oldest person ever and did it before Mary Mary McKinney I will be happy to change it. I'll figure out the dates and everything.
I'll let RYoung122 deal with it. Neal 23:19, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
3. You can't change the people ine succession without changing the dates that would be altered by the change, you'd also have to change the other memebers of the succession itself. Need to be more thorough. Here's how it works.... July 24, 1927 is the day that Delina Filkins reahced 112 years and 81 days... if you change it to another person you have to re-adjust the date to the date when Delina out aged that person on the other end... December 30, 1986 is the day before Mary McKinney outaged Delina Filkins you have to adjust that also if you change it to another person and since I have no birth or death dates on Fannie Thomas then how am I supposed to know what those date are.
4. Geert Adriaans Boomgaard lived for 110 years and 135 days and died in 1899. Thomas Peters (Supercentenarian) lived for either 112 years and 80 days (based on the dates on his page which you negelcted to change) or 111 years and 354 (according to your update) and dies in the 1850s. Either way this was longer than Geert lived. I seems as though it was disputed so I put Geert back but if there is more specific information about a dispute to Thomas Peter's age please add that information to his wiki page. I would apreciate the information.--Dr who1975 17:15, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
Dr Who, you can't even spell in English and you know very little about this topic. Please refrain from simply 'deciding' to change something when you don't know what you're talking about. The Fannie Thomas case was in Guinness and accepted as undisputed. → R Young {yakłtalk} 12:01, 16 September 2006 (UTC)
Here are the dates on Fannie Thomas. As you can see, she passed Delina in late 1980.
