Article says Mahmud Iskandar Shah lived to be 120, which would make him the oldest man to ever live and the second oldest person to ever live. The first citation used backing this (https://www.orangperak.com/sultan-mahmud-iskandar-shah-sultan-perak-ke-11.html) confrims this, though I'm not sure how relible this site is. Citation 2, a book called Sejarah Perak (https://books.google.ca/books/about/Sejarah_Perak.html?id=xQsunwEACAAJ&redir_esc=y) which I don't have access to. The third citation (https://www.jstor.org/stable/41561088) confirms this and also claims that he led Perak for 111 year, which goes against what this article claims, mind you the citation was written in 1907 and was probably just listing out what was written on his grave.

I feel as though some more recent sources about this person should be found about this person as this age feels very wrong.

It should also be noted that this whole page is very much a word for word copy of the content of https://www.orangperak.com/sultan-mahmud-iskandar-shah-sultan-perak-ke-11.html run through google translate. DervotNum4 (talk) 01:10, 23 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
