WikiTree Tops: Am I really 3rd?

Question

I admit that I had not heard of the WikiTree Tops page.  I wondered if I would have anything to contribute.  It's hard to believe, but I found that by my count, I have the third-most profile portraits of ancestors within 6 generations of me at 42 right behind the queen.

To be honest, I'm sure that if people knew about this page, there would be many other WikiTreers who could top that, but I'm going to add myself and bask in the glory while it lasts.

Even after all this time, I'm in 4th place.  I only just found out about because my brother put my name up.  He could have put his own but he's shy.

Yup, and I'm still third and still with 42.  I have barely been active in the last three years, but I guess I'm still among the "Tops"

I hadn't heard of the page either, but find I'm on the lists; for # of countries ancestors were from withing 8 generations.  Several of us l are tied for  3rd place with 7 different countries.

I notice that there needs to be a separate category for most children for a non Mormon!  And there should be a category also for most children by a woman.

There are lots of potential 'most children' people at

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_people_with_the_most_children

Just not many of them are documented at wikitree yet,

umm, Dave, sweetie, are the "most children" categories now there for children who men gave birth to????????

See, normally I would think that the winners in the "most children" category would be the result of merges and gedcom uploads where no one had bothered to suggest or complete merges for the 2nd generation.

Dearest Gaile (whom my iPad really wishes to address as "Agile"),

I believe that Dave is pointing out that the WikiTree Tops category Individual with the most children who are recorded on wikitree is currently dominated by men, for whom having 31 - 64 children is a somewhat less impressive accomplishment, although we might still applaud their efforts. Modern gentlemen who wish to exceed them should be reminded of the continually rising costs of college tuition.

The original post on this subject was at the following link and there are many other profiles there including most children of women.

The most grandchildren section needs a lot of work. A lot of the profiles wit the most children don't carry many of the lines down into the grandchildren generation. The Romney profile is a good example of that last time I looked at it.
