Updating the List of living centenarians & other suggestions

@N2ick23: Hi! With a little practice, you should be able to add them yourself. Since I see this was your first, & so far only, edit, there are a few things that you should know.

• You need to be autoconfirmed to edit List of living centenarians. This means your account must be four days old & you must have made ten edits. You can amass ten edits on your sandbox, your user page, your talk page, or other talk pages.
• Practice first in your User:N2ick23/sandbox. For instructions on using your sandbox, see Help:Sandbox tutorial.
• See Help:Talk pages#Identifying yourself to learn how to sign your entry on a talk page.
• See Help:List for help in formating lists, which would have helped with your edit at Talk:List_of_living_centenarians#Add_centenarians.
• Some would recommend that you look at Help:Table, but I think that is like drinking from a fire hose. Instead, I would copy the wiktext code from https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=List_of_living_centenarians&action=edit into your sandbox. Try adding individual rows there first, then use Show preview. Then copy the changes back to the original page, use Show preview, then save if good.

I hope this is helpful. Peaceray (talk) 00:19, 5 July 2021 (UTC)

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, such as at Talk:List of living centenarians, (but never when editing articles), please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:

1. Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment, or
2. With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button located above the edit window.

This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.
