Seher Bulut
Adja, I didn't realize you were a girl, but I'd like to mention in response to your posting:

the oldest verified living person is 122-year-old Seher Bulut of Turkey born 1883.

This case is not verified and in fact the 'evidence' was doubtful; I personally believe Seher is about 102, based on the documents that I have seen...particularly given the ages of the children. Or are we to believe that women give birth at 62 without modern technology?

Sincerely, Robert Young → R Young {yak ł talk } 07:24, 24 December 2006 (UTC)

However, I would be interested if/when her death is reported.

Also note the page here: Longevity claims.

You'll note there's a woman in the U.S. supposedly born in 1881. Supposedly is not verified. Sincerely, Robert Young→ R Young {yak ł talk } 07:25, 24 December 2006 (UTC)

Greetings,

It is not simply that Seher doesn't have a birth certificate (she doesn't) but that her age really is false. I have documents for this case including the birth certificates for the children. Her first child was born in 1924 and the last in 1948. Thus, I would guess she was born around 1904, giving birth at age 20 and last at age 44. Thus, Seher is most likely 102.

Seher is not alone: longevity myths persist wherever birth records weren't kept 80+ years ago. Nonetheless, to believe the case because she is Turkish and you are Turkish is simply nationalism, not science.

Please note that just because a newspaper reports "aliens" doesn't mean they exist. Neither does the Loch Ness Monster or Santa Claus. And yes, 'St. Nick' came from what is now Turkey! Add Seher Bulut to the list of fantasy claims.→ R Young {yak ł talk } 12:48, 25 December 2006 (UTC)

There are two sides to every story. Outside of Turkey, most historians agree that it was in fact the Turkish who killed millions of Armenians...called the "Armenian genocide."

Aside from that, however, we don't take inflated Armenian claims, either...such as Manik Bokchalian (1880?-1998). With no birth record, there is no evidence of birth. Also, if you have the records I challenge you to send them in...I highly doubt the oldest daughter is 91 but if you have a record for that, I'd be interested.

Sincerely, Robert Young→ R <span style="color:#006688;font-family:arial, helvetica;">Young {<span style="font-family:arial, helvetica;font-size:x-small;">yak <span style="font-family:arial, helvetica;">ł <span style="font-family:arial, helvetica;font-size:x-small;">talk } 13:43, 26 December 2006 (UTC)

Greetings from America's oldest claimant...Alberta Davis, 125

Just to show that we don't accept all American cases, either, here is America's oldest current claimant:

http://www.wrdw.com/home/headlines/5010191.html

What these people in the video don't understand is that a document issued in 1951 (social security records) does not prove a birth occurred in 1881. It only proves that someone claimed in 1951 that a birth occurred in 1881. Without a birth certificate or other early-life document, age claims are subject to age inflation.→ <span style="font-family:arial, helvetica;color:#ff0000;">R <span style="color:#006688;font-family:arial, helvetica;">Young {<span style="font-family:arial, helvetica;font-size:x-small;">yak <span style="font-family:arial, helvetica;">ł <span style="font-family:arial, helvetica;font-size:x-small;">talk } 15:01, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

Image source problem with Image:Kaşıkçı Diamond.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Kaşıkçı Diamond.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the GFDL-self tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Non-free content, use a tag such as or one of the other tags listed at Image copyright tags. See Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 21:01, 5 October 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Gryffindor 21:01, 5 October 2007 (UTC)
