I just checked the SSDI, and an Elizabeth B DeTrevino, who was born September 2, 1904, is listed as having died December 2, 2001 in Texas. I think this is the lady you asked about on her entry here. She was one of my favorite authors. Haddison (talk) 03:43, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

Yes, Lula Clark (1894-2003) died on March 1st of this year, shortly after her 109th birthday. Sadly when we met her on September 19, 2002, she was not totally with it but almost seemed capable of conversing with us at times.

Oh, and if it isn't already painfully obvious, I am the crazy cousin. Katagelophobia


I'm going to try sending pictures again, using a "scan to e-mail" thingy on the scanner. Expect some things by today (Oct 23) or tomorrow. Katagelophobia 23 Oct 2003

You might be interested in some information I just found at the library about Alphaeus Philemon Cole Katagelophobia 10 Dec 2003


So who were Sadie & Bessie Delany? -- Infrogmation 17:33 Apr 20, 2003 (UTC)

Though I doubt that anyone mentioned needs an article, I thought you'd be interested in the following link: 113 year old woman who witnessed the San Francisco earthquake dies -- Someone else 03:02 Apr 23, 2003 (UTC)

Interesting! I had no idea that Mary Christian had died or that she was ill, but she was 113 don't forget. Well, the title now passes to 113 year old Elana Slough. Just in case anyone was wondering, the oldest person in the world is Kamato Hongo of Japan, who was born Sept. 16, 1887 and will be 116 this year. Longevitymonger

Thanks for you additions to Carl Rakosi. I met him a few years ago in Dublin when he was more alert and alive at 95 than most 40-year-olds I know. Bmills 11:57, 5 Dec 2003 (UTC)

BIG NEWS I have discovered a great man: Ancel Keys!!!!!! He was a physiologist and scientist who studied various diets. He appeared on the cover of Time magazine on January 13, 1961. Apparently he's been on Wikipedia for a while too. There is no indication of him dying, and in all likelihood he is very much alive (there is a picture of him at age 98 (which would have been taken in 2002!) His birthday is January 26, 1904 so he doesn't have long to go. Hooray!! Katagelophobia 16 Dec. 2003

Hooray for George Kennan! I've actually already captured those pictures of him from that page, though. Also I'm glad to see (or presume) that your computer is up and working again. Katty 17 Feb 2004

You'd better frickin' check this out: Xenophon Zolotas. Katagelophobia 4 Mar 2004

Do you have a source that Zolotas is in fact still alive? Adam 05:50, 26 Apr 2004 (UTC)

Zolotas has been regularly listed in the International editions of Who's Who including the 2004 edition. If the man has died since it was published I'm sure someone would have mentioned it. Katagelophobia 3 May 2004

[edit] Article Licensing

Hi, I've started a drive to get users to multi-license all of their contributions that they've made to either (1) all U.S. state, county, and city articles or (2) all articles, using the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike (CC-by-sa) v1.0 and v2.0 Licenses or into the public domain if they prefer. The CC-by-sa license is a true free documentation license that is similar to Wikipedia's license, the GFDL, but it allows other projects, such as WikiTravel, to use our articles. Since you are among the top 2000 Wikipedians by edits, I was wondering if you would be willing to multi-license all of your contributions or at minimum those on the geographic articles. Over 90% of people asked have agreed. For More Information:

To allow us to track those users who muli-license their contributions, many users copy and paste the "{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}" template into their user page, but there are other options at Template messages/User namespace. The following examples could also copied and pasted into your user page:

Option 1
I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions, with the exception of my user pages, as described below:
{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}

OR

Option 2
I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions to any [[U.S. state]], county, or city article as described below:
{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}

Or if you wanted to place your work into the public domain, you could replace "{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}" with "{{MultiLicensePD}}". If you only prefer using the GFDL, I would like to know that too. Please let me know what you think at my talk page. It's important to know either way so no one keeps asking. -- Ram-Man (comment| talk)

Hey! Good to hear from you. I do have a minor piece of age news: the person known as Louise Michelle Rosenblatt (evidently her middle name was Michelle not Michel), who was born August 23, 1904, died on February 8, 2005 at age 100. Here's a link to an obituary in the Boston Globe [1]. Other than that, and the genarians site constant barrage of new people, there isn't much to say. Will talk to you later. Katagelophobia 12 Aug 2005

Well, sir, here's a small piece of news: you may remember this guy. [2] I'm sure they've got the age wrong and we have it right (remember the Madame Chiang...). So he is alive and moving around still. So how do you like that! Katagelophobia 17 May 2006

[edit] The Things of That Nature

Good work with the finding of the black ham. An instant addition. I haven't found anyone really new, although I did add Heinrich Heidersberger from the German Wikipedia to the list, and he is less than two weeks from 100. He does have a variety of pages and pictures floating around on the net in places.

Also, have you found anything recently on Joseph L. Henderson? He may have disappeared off the face of the earth. Same thing with Samuel L. Evans, whom I've left on the list expecting to hear about them dying. Kat O Gel O Phobia 29 May 2006

[edit] Many more centenarians!

Dear Longevitymonger, this is Manu from the German Wikipedia. I'd like to inform you, that in the last months I have created a very huge list of famous centenarians for our Wikipedia.

False claims:

  • Mother Jones was born in 1837 and not in 1830. (see article, next to last paragraph)
  • Eubie Blake was born 1887 and not in 1883. (see article, paragraph "Age controversy")
  • Grace Zaring Stone aka Ethel Vance was born in 1896 and not in 1891 according to "Living Authors: a Book of Biographies" (Kunitz, 1931), "American Women: the Official Who's Who among the Women of the Nation" (Howes, 1939), "Contemporary American Authors: a Critical Survey and 219 Bio-Bibliographies." (Millett, 1940), "The Oxford Companion to American Literature" (Hart, 1941), "Webster's Biographical Dictionary:" (1943), "Thesaurus of the Arts" (Wier, 1943) and "The Author's and Writer's Who's Who & Reference Guide" (Pine, 1949).
  • I wasn't able to find any proof, that Pietro Spiggia (1901-?) and Lilian Oldland (1901-?) are still alive. According to "The Picturegoer's Who's Who and Encyclopaedia of the Screen To-day" Oldland was born in 1905.
  • Bruce Bennett (1906-) was possibly born in 1909 (see article), Howdy Groskloss (1906-) was possibly born in 1907 or 1908 (see "Who's Who in the South and Southwest" 1959) and Carl Esmond (1902-) aka Willy Eichberger was possibly born in 1904, 1905 or 1908.

Milton Garland (1895-2000) was an American inventor of refrigeration systems, who held 41 patents and was named "Mr. Refrigeration", and because of that he should be listed under the section "Scientists/mathematicians". - Manu87 13:59, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Waldeck

Hi. I was looking at the Jean-Frédéric Waldeck article again, and I wanted to ask about something you wrote a while back. "Waldeck subsequently influenced many generations of artists and explorers to come, including Dame Freya Stark and Helge Ingstad." What was Waldeck's influence on them? Do they mention Waldeck in their writings? Can you provide a source or reference on such information? Thank you, -- Infrogmation 14:34, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Things About People of a Seriously Advanced Age

When the stars line up and the motivational factors reach their peak, I would go hunting for pictures of some of those lame people (especially Antoine Pompe) who need faces. If you hadn't already seen, Luis Leal has a picture from his 100th. So that's gotta be useful for something, eh? Hmm. Kattagellophobbia 28 Oct 2007

[edit] On the list of centenarians

In the case of adding new names, you should add a reference with them under new guidelines(despite a lot of referenceless names still, but those were added BEFORE the new guidelines, and should not increase). Also, a curiosity: Do you have your own list of upcoming centenaries for this year? You seem to have the most knowledge for that. --RandomOrca2 (talk) 02:23, 21 February 2008 (UTC)
