User:Epic Steve/Tracking the world's oldest

<!-- This page provides a resource for those interested in longevity (like myself) to track the oldest validated living people on the planet in more detail, in the table combining male and female, marking certain cases as "disputed", including cases considered "pending" by the GRG (supported by some documents but not enough for full validation) in blue and with no ranking, and including limbo cases known to reach a certain age in yellow. The limbo cases are ranked based on what age they most likely died at, or the "median" age for cases that have bigger ranges of uncertainty, up to a couple months. (Cases with more than a couple months' uncertainty are instead ranked based on the age they were last confirmed alive at) The data below is based on official sources from the GRG and the WSRL - https://grg.org/WSRL/TableE.aspx - as well as the tables on gerontology.wikia.com (with some modifications based on the articles for certain supercentenarians on that wiki):
 * https://gerontology.wikia.org/wiki/Oldest_Validated_supercentenarians_All-Time
 * https://gerontology.wikia.org/wiki/List_of_validated_supercentenarians_at_113
 * https://gerontology.wikia.org/wiki/List_of_validated_supercentenarians_at_112

Note that this IS a "fan page" or "fancruft" targeted to longevity fans, which is why this is a user subpage as opposed to an actual article. However, some of the non-fancruft stuff, such as the information in the table, might be useful to improve longevity-related articles here.

Tracking the progress of living supercentenarians
The milestones and current progress of the supercentenarians below should not be taken with a grain of salt, as they might not necessarily all be alive at the moment. Death notices might not be public or be discovered until days or even weeks after the death actually occurs, or in extreme cases (particularly with anonymous Japanese cases), might go completely unreported. So, just "assume" someone is living until something comes out about their death, and don't be absolutely 100% certain that a supercentenarian actually reached a milestone.

Currently, there are 22 validated supercentenarians assumed to be living at this moment, from the age of the world's oldest living person (Kane Tanaka, ) down to the age of, and 3 pending supercentenarians (assumed to be living) who have not been fully validated yet but have some documents supporting their claims.

'''Congratulations to the following for achieving a milestone today! (assuming they are still alive)'''


 * 1) Thelma Sutcliffe ties Tae Ito (, spot #107, spot #101 for women).
 * 2) Anonymous of Fukuoka ties Anne Brasz-Later and Marie-Louise Taterode (, spot #140, spot #133 for women).       María Brañas Morera (unranked) ties Agatha Mitchell.
 * 3) Phyllis Ridgway ties Israel Kristal (, spot #174).
 * 4) Casilda Benegas-Gallego ties Evelyn Kozak (, spot #184, spot #175 for women).
 * 5) Cecile Klein ties Meta Dishman (, spot #221, spot #209 for women).
 * 6) Bessie Hendricks ties Catharina van Dam-Groeneveld, Toshi Horiya (limbo), and Natsuyo Kinase (, spot #293, spot #278 for women).
 * 7) Reita Fennell ties Élisabeth Collot (, spot #306, spot #291 for women).

In further detail, here's how all validated and pending supercentenarians (assumed to be living) are doing at the moment, including their current ages, current rankings on the overall list, women's/men's list, and for their countries, and the countdowns to their next milestones and the ranks they would rise up to upon reaching their next milestone:
