In future, I will try and remember to discuss before moving claims to questionable.

Thanks, Richard.

Remember, we have a sliding scale here. For 115+ unvalidated claims, we don't give them the benefit of the doubt. But at younger ages, we need to consider that someone, say, age 110 or 111 may not be all that "questionable". Now, if evidence has been located or the case doesn't have a birthdate, that's one thing. But we should not just assume that a case is questionable...there needs to be a reason to doubt it.Ryoung122 (talk) 03:33, February 2, 2018 (UTC)
