Description of Error - 104: Too old

The person is too old at death. Currently, the maximum age is set to 110 years and will be lowered as current errors are corrected. This error is checked on all profiles with both birth and death dates recorded.


Content of info column: Empty.

Possible Causes

  • The most common cause is a typo in the birth date and/or death date.
  • Poor guess of unknown birth date and/or death date.
  • The person is documented to have lived past 110 years and the profile is missing the template for Category:Supercentenarians (see below)

Action Steps

Edit the Birth and/or Death date(s) by:

  1. Correcting any typos based on information found in the profile. If no information is found then...
  2. Research to find a source which will determine the correct birth and death dates. If no sources are found then...
  3. Replace date(s) with a reasonable guess based on a date of birth, death or marriage or the birth date(s) of family members. Mark the date(s) as "Uncertain." Leave a note in the profile stating that the date is an estimate and what you used as a comparison for estimation.
  4. If the profile has no sources and no relatives and no reasonable guess can be made, delete the single date which is clearly incorrect (rarely needed). Add a note in the profile regarding what was in the date field and why it was removed.
  5. If the age is actually over 110 years add the Category:Supercentenarians to the profile. You can do that by adding the following text above the biography heading of the profile: [[Category:Supercentenarians]]

In this case the difference in decades between decade of death and decade of birth must be less than 11. To get the the filling of age distribution check Statistics.
