Introduction

(Note: This page is a sub-page of the Unconnected Notables page, which, in turn, is a sub-page of the Connectors Chat page. For more details about what's going on here, please read the Connectors Chat page. Also, please post any messages about what's happening on this page on the Connectors Chat page.)

This table lists deceased world leaders who have profiles on WikiTree that are not yet connected to the main tree. Specifically, this list is for deceased heads of state (monarchs, presidents, etc.) and heads of government (chancellors, prime ministers, viziers, etc.) Please do not add any profiles that do not have the privacy set to "Open", because people wouldn't be able to work on them.

The goal to put up at least one head of state (monarchs, presidents, etc.) and one head of government (chancellors, prime ministers, etc.) for each country in the world. In some cases (Australia Canada, France, the Netherlands, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, and the United States) all (or nearly all) of the former leaders are already on WikiTree and connected. But, for many countries, I haven't been able to find a single profile for a former leader. (And, in some cases, the profiles I did find weren't for leaders who reflect well on those countries -- sorry about that!) If you're from (or interested in) a country which has no profiles for former leaders on WikiTree, please feel free to create a profile for a former leader, and then add that profile to the list here.

• The "Branch Size" number is the total number of profiles in the branch that contains that notable's profile. (If the branch size is 1, it means that that notable has not been linked to any parent, spouse, or child's profile.)
• The "Name" is the full name for that notable, or the name by which they are commonly known.
• The "Last Name At Birth" is normally that notable's last name at birth. (If that notable is from a culture which does not use last names, then the Last Name At Birth will be whatever is used in that person's WikiTree ID.)
• The "Country" cell lists the country that this person governed.
• The "Notable As" cell is a short description of why that person is included in this list.
• An asterisk (*) in the "Five Star" column means that that person's profile is considered "5 star". In other words, it has received at least 1,000 total views from at least 100 separate visitors in the past year. These profiles need special attention to improve them, and help WikiTree put our best foot forward. See Chris' announcement, "Will you help us improve the most-visited profiles?" for more details.
• The "Badge Needed" column will say "1700" if that notable was born before 1700, or "1500" if that notable was born before 1500. If you want to work on pre-1700 profiles, you need to take the Pre-1700 Self-Certification. If you want to work on pre-1500 profiles, you need to request a Pre-1500 Certification.
• If there is an asterisk (*) in the "1900" column, it means that person was alive in the year 1900.

You can sort the list by any column (Branch Size, Name, Last Name At Birth, Country, Notable As, or Working On) by clicking on the sort symbol in the header for that column.

Free space profiles (like this one) work pretty much the same way that profiles for people do, so all the same syntax applies. So to show that you are working on a branch, edit this page, scroll down to the listing you want work on, and replace the number at the end of the line with two opening square brackets ([), then your WikiTree ID, then a pipe (|), then your name, then two closing square brackets (]), like this: [[Example-123|Ferdinand Grubstake]].

Similarly, when you connect a branch (or discover one that's already connected), add Connected (or Found connected) and then the date. Put three single quotes (') before and after "connected" to put it into bold, like this: "'Connected'" February 29, 2020. One of the page pruners will then delete that entry in a couple of weeks, after everybody has had a chance to celebrate the new connection.
