Oldest women

Search francisca susano from philippines. Shes 124 years old. 2403:4800:2412:7789:949C:D00B:A70A:62E3 (talk) 01:16, 22 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Color at Deceased

There it is |#f9f9f9|Deceased| . #f9f9f9 is also at number column at living, observable on a dark theme. The main problem is that on dark mode browsers it looks white, and the rows are almost black. I can put ||Deceased| and will look black but white theme users will see white and rows color will be #f9f9f9 and someone will undo my edit. Or I can put #202122 to match exactly the black rows color but then a white theme user will surely undo my edit. On dark theme is very annoying. How to put #202122 for a dark theme and #f9f9f9 for a white theme? Costin.b.1 (talk) 09:33, 27 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Do you have verification from either Guinness World Records or * Gerontology Research Group's (GRG) Table E (verified supercentenarians) and Table I? Please see Wikipedia:WikiProject Longevity#Databases. Peaceray (talk) 17:17, 4 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Updating to include Ken Weeks.

So why wasn't Ken Weeks added to the list in the May 12 update? He's now 111 years 219 days old, tying him with Dumitru Comănescu. We have so few live ones on the list now days so it's important to get them added. I'd do it but I've gotten jumped on by derby county for not doing it the way she wanted it done, so I'm not touching it. Let's get this done!

Accessibility

Hi, I like to keep tabs on the current oldest women and men. I've been having an extremely hard time reading the bright grey text in the green fields of the tables. I believe it would be beneficial for the bright grey text color to be changed back to black when it is inside of one of the green fields. Thank you for taking the time to read my comment.

Correction. Replace my word "black" with the classic "link blue" color. SadieLouise2000 (talk) 00:56, 4 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Adding Izabel Rosa Pereira to the list.

Why wasn't she added to the June 10 update? She's now 114 years 240 days old. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Izabel_Rosa_Pereira GermanShepherd1983 (talk) 02:16, 10 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
