Thanks WJ.:-)
I have simple question:
The number of living people on GRG’s WSRL is slow down and now decreased to 33 people. In 2013 the GRG WSRL (former table E) lists over 70 supercentenarians. I’m so shocked that situration, and I expecting that in the near future the GRG WSRL is only shows top 10.
Is this a problem of money, or something?

There are 34 validated supercentenarians on the GRG's WSRL at the moment.

You're correct, the problem results from lack of funding. The GRG is a non-profit organization; it could process more cases; however, only with the financial support the GRG could intensify the case processing as well as the research effort (which is often expensive itself).

The other reason is that cases are being more thoroughfully reviewed with a higher standard applied presently. As a result, the list; albeit shorter, has a near 100% reliability, which is a good improvement.

Sorry to say wrong number (34, not 33).

It seems to be the collapse of GRG supercentenarian list is near. Male supercentenarian are already lists zero people. Action for restore (34 are too small. Sholud lists at least 50 people) is requied
I think, it is good that like Wikipedia (https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Category:Wikimedia_Foundation_fundraising_banners&uselang=ja&mobileaction=toggle_view_desktop), put a giantic banner of the link for donation in the top of GRG’s WRSL page. Do you think this idea?
