Romania used the old calendar until February 1919, and Ciocan was born on 15 May 1913 according to the old style, which is 28 May 1913 according to the new calendar ([https://www.grg-supercentenarians.org/ilie-ciocan/ source]). Apparently 28 May was previously mistakenly believed to be old-style BC, however later GRG received further evidence from his family and they corrected the date of birth to keep 28 May by the [[Gregorian calendar]], not 10 June as previously thought. Wikipedia is not the place for original research, so it should list the active date of birth according to what is the current version on GRG. Furthermore, it is not the first GRG correction, GRG has made other significant corrections to previously erroneous data, such as the dates for MARY CURLEY (1880–1994), FANNIE THOMAS (1867–1981), MARY BIDWELL (1881–1996), MYRTLE DORSEY (1885–2000), CHARLIE PHILLIPS (1869–1980), ROBERT FREEMAN (1879–1990) and others. Considering that GRG has existed since 1990, it is quite normal that they have errors, but it is very important that they have corrected those mistakes. LongeviQuest is not officially recognized by science or GWR, but still, for Wikipedia, LQ validations can be used for now because they are considered reliable and in line with modern validation standards... However, it takes time to be officially recognized by GRG and GWR, and they will probably never be recognized because they refused to be a GRG collaborator, they want to work independently, their choice and that is not a reason to attack GRG. They have various forums where they write negative comments about GRG so rudely that it is unacceptable and extremely rude. However, some of those people are not LQ members, but that Forum (The 110 Club) is controlled by LQ and they should prevent all negative comments posted by users on GRG's account. Some of the members of that forum are active here under similar usernames, and due to ignorance and being misinformed on the forums, they are trying in various ways to declare GRG as an unreliable source here on Wikipedia, which is unacceptable because GRG exists long before they some of them were born... So, LQ can be used as a source here only in cases that are their validations, without the case being confirmed by GRG, and for cases that were confirmed long ago by GRG, it is enough to cite GRG, possibly newspaper reports, and even LQ, but do not forget to cite primary source, ie GRG... Once again, it is unnecessary to comment further, it is enough to base it on what is a publicly available source...08:15, 14 May 2024 (UTC) [[User:Дејан2021|Дејан2021]] ([[User talk:Дејан2021|talk]]) 08:15, 14 May 2024 (UTC) |

::::::@[[User:DerbyCountyinNZ|DerbyCountyinNZ]] Looping you in because we have a major issue here. The GRG correspondent who validated Ilie Ciocan's case is insisting that his birthdate is thirteen days earlier than what was initially established (and had remained for six months). He claims that the GRG received "further evidence from his family" (six months after being validated? Really?) that somehow suggests his birthday is 15 May 1913 according to the Julian calendar. This is despite the fact that reports about him from Romanian news outlets, such as [https://www.romania-actualitati.ro/stiri/romania/ilie-ciocan-cel-mai-varstnic-veteran-de-razboi-din-tara-implineste-110-ani-id178255.html this one], [https://www.agerpres.ro/social/2023/05/28/reportaj-valcea-ilie-ciocan-decanul-de-varsta-al-veteranilor-de-razboi-din-tara-a-implinit-110-ani--1115591 this one], and [https://ziaruldevalcea.ro/2024/05/la-110-ani-valceanul-ilie-ciocan-este-cel-mai-longeviv-combatant-din-al-doilea-razboi-mondial/ this one], all indicate a claimed birthdate of 28 May. Converting from the Julian to Gregorian calendar, that date would be 10 June 1913, which is indeed what the GRG had [https://web.archive.org/web/20231111102929/https://www.grg-supercentenarians.org/ilie-ciocan/ initially validated]. LongeviQuest [https://lq1.wpengine.com/supercentenarians/ilie-ciocan/ also confirms] that May 28 is his DOB according to the old calendar, while June 10 is according to the new one. |

:::::::@[[User:Softmist|Softmist]], You are not right, I did not investigate his case, his family submitted it to GRG. Also, LongeviQuest has not validated his age, newspaper reports state that he was born on 28 May 1913, they never claimed that it was according to the old calendar and should be moved to 10 June. Previously, it was believed to be 28 May according to the old calendar, a few months later, this was corrected after GRG received additional evidence. It's not about original research, I'm talking about what is written on the GRG site, and it says exactly what I mentioned.

:As requested. Wikipedia uses the most reliable source. If there are multiple sources of similar reliability that do not agree then the person should be removed until the conflict over dates is resolved. If someone has information that a given date is wrong and there is no reliable source for that information then that should be ignored. As for this current argument there are multiple violations of Wiki policy, including [[WP:OUTING]] and [[WP:3RR]], which are sufficient to have a user blocked or topic banned. At the very least this page is heading for full protection.

::As a means of resolving this matter, since there is at least the LongeviQuest source I linked above (which I would classify as "similar reliability" to the GRG) disputing the GRG birthdate, can we agree to remove Ilie Ciocan entirely, at least until LQ validates his claim? I think that's the safest option for now. If his claim is validated by LQ with the same birthdate the GRG is using, great, we'll add him back with that date. If there's a discrepancy again, we can discuss what to do from there. [[User:Softmist|Softmist]] ([[User talk:Softmist|talk]]) 00:40, 15 May 2024 (UTC) |

::::@[[User:Softmist|Softmist]], Your suggestion to delete it completely is an even better option than to keep it with the incorrect date (June 10). Don't forget that his age is not validated by LQ, but on their profile it is listed as Unvalidated with the date 10 June 1913 N.S. (28 May 1913 O.S.) which is wrong, but I don't blame them for that mistake because the same information was used by GRG before the corrections . Their fan from The 110 Club by the name of Wwew345t (same name on Wikipedia) claims that GRG is an unreliable source because he corrected his date of birth, and as evidence he provided you with an archived GRG link that was archived before the corrections, in return about the reliability of LQ, I found exactly the same evidence that confirms that GRG corrections LQ corrections are a normal thing, because LQ also subsequently corrected its errors, as in the case of a supercentenarian named Elvira Maurno Valladao, LQ previously confirmed her date of birth as 23 December 1911, several months later, and a few weeks after the GRG validation of that case, they corrected her date of birth to 31 December 1911, about that there is the same evidence, archived links before corrections and after. Also, LQ as a for-profit non-scientific organization aims to replace GRG, they have publicly admitted this on their forum. Why didn't Wwew345t consider discussing the reliability of LQ, how come he didn't because he was sent here to humiliate GRG and try to make baseless accusations that GRG is an unreliable source, even though there is no reliable evidence for this, here is the following evidence of LQ corrections , corrections are a normal occurrence.<br>1): Archived link, before LQ corrections: https://web.archive.org/web/20231231082259/https://longeviquest.com/supercentenarians/elvira-maurno-valladao/ <br>2) Original source, after LQ corrections: https://longeviquest.com/supercentenarians/elvira-maurno-valladao/ <br>@[[User:DerbyCountyinNZ|DerbyCountyinNZ]], please think about it and look at the previously mentioned sentences and links that indicate the reliability of LQ, I am not denying the GRG corrections, the same evidence of GRG corrections exists, just the same about LQ corrections. I think you have to make a final decision whether to keep Ilie Ciocan according to GRG or delete him completely, so there are only two options, delete or keep May 28 according to the new calendar, and June 10 is out of the question, because there is evidence of GRG corrections of that case, if you need it, I can provide the archived links, as I clarified with the LQ corrections...[[User:Дејан2021|Дејан2021]] ([[User talk:Дејан2021|talk]]) 07:30, 16 May 2024 (UTC) |

:::::@[[User:DerbyCountyinNZ|DerbyCountyinNZ]], And what will you decide, will Wikipedia be a free encyclopedia based on publicly available sources or will it be under the dictatorship of LQ fans? I don't know who to contact in this matter, maybe it's stupid to contact the Wikipedia founder if the administration is not able to make an adequate decision. Instead of solving this issue, you wrote in the description of the change ''"Do NOT delete other users talk page comments without an extremely good reason, otherwise you will likely receive a longer block"''. Reason enough to delete the above and below threads is that what he says there is so childish, he talks about creating a group on Wikipedia to update the articles related to the oldest people, and what does that mean, it means completely deleting GRG and GWR from the articles, as can be seen in the contributions of the "user" Wwew345t. So, I insist on following the Wiki rules, and deleting that case is against the Wiki rules...[[User:Дејан2021|Дејан2021]] ([[User talk:Дејан2021|talk]]) 10:58, 16 May 2024 (UTC) |

::::::Added him again according to Wiki rules, nowhere does it say that cases needs to be validated by LQ, when it has already been validated by GRG (and or GWR). We don't need an LQ dictatorship here. LQ fans should be grateful that Wikipedia recognizes them as a primary source at all, as they are not recognized by GRG and GWR. But it doesn't matter and that's fine because it's not written anywhere in the Wiki rules, just like it's not written anywhere that the case needs to be LQ validated to be listed. It is enough that it was confirmed by at least one of the three verification bodies, and whether it is LQ, GRG or GWR is completely irrelevant, the case is validated and that is enough...[[User:Дејан2021|Дејан2021]] ([[User talk:Дејан2021|talk]]) 11:22, 16 May 2024 (UTC) |

It seems silly to me to exclude someone from the list that obviously belongs there while there is a discrepancy of reliable sources.

:@[[User:Peaceray|Peaceray]], That's right, GRG confirmed his age, not LQ, he is listed as Unvalidated on LQ, they think it's May 28 according to the old calendar (although they don't have any documents), GRG thought the same before they got additional evidence. So if ever LQ validates it with that date (which probably won't ever happen) then we can use 10 June, and since it's listed there as Unvalidated, that's just a guess. Therefore, without any problems it should be listed with the date of birth that is alleged on the GRG. Remember this, if he ever becomes a candidate for the title of the oldest in the world, you will be sure whether Guinness World Records will take into account May 28 or June 10, absolutely May 28, because that is the date of birth according to the new calendar, while May 15 according to the old calendar and for that there is evidence, evidence have only his family and GRG.[[User:Дејан2021|Дејан2021]] ([[User talk:Дејан2021|talk]]) 07:30, 24 May 2024 (UTC) |

So why isn't GRG getting Georgina Casamayor de Medina validated? She's currently the 10th oldest person in the world. Seems GRG never gets anything done. Sad. |

You can check which ones of them were validated by professional gerontology/longevity organizations, though I think that at least Benjamin Garner has recently been validated by the [[Gerontology Research Group]].

Basically, the argument here is that his verification was based on a mistaken identity switch with another African-American man named Johnson Parks who was born a decade earlier than he himself was born.

:Maybe you could say that Zak and Gibbs are unreliable because they also previously disputed Calment. However, Calment's validation was subsequently re-confirmed by gerontology researchers, whereas I don't see anyone to my knowledge willing to defend the Parks validation right now.
