I've finally typed out the bios for exactly 800 nominees for the top 100 most influential people in history. Please respond to the poll. Here's the instructions once I add you to the spreadsheet: 1. Your column will automatically have the default list filled in, which means all you have to do is delete the "1" from those who want to replace on this default list. You will then put a "1" in your column for the replacement. The total of "1"s in your column will need to equal 100. It should auto-calculate that number. 2. You'll let me know in this thread when you've finished your ranking. 3. When we are all done, we will put the top 100 vote-getters in order. I also ask that anyone who does not partake in the ranking refrain from criticizing the result. Here's the default top 100 based on an average of expert lists: 1 Jesus 2 Muhammad 3 Isaac Newton 4 Aristotle 5 Charles Darwin 6 Christopher Columbus 7 Albert Einstein 8 William Shakespeare 9 Martin Luther 10 Karl Marx 11 George Washington 12 St. Paul 13 Adolf Hitler 14 Napoleon Bonaparte 15 Augustus Caesar 16 Galileo 17 Buddha 18 Genghis Khan 19 Thomas Edison 20 Thomas Jefferson 21 Alexander the Great 22 Plato 23 Ludwig Van Beethoven 24 Nicolaus Copernicus 25 Adam Smith 26 Julius Caesar 27 Sigmund Freud 28 Constantine the Great 29 Louis Pasteur 30 Abraham Lincoln 31 Johann S Bach 32 Michelangelo 33 Johannes Gutenberg 34 Leonardo da Vinci 35 John Locke 36 Joseph Stalin 37 Rene Descartes 38 Voltaire 39 Charlemagne 40 Mohandes Gandhi 41 William the Conqueror 42 Elizabeth I 43 Jean-Jacques Rousseau 44 Vladimir Lenin 45 St. Augustine 46 James Watt 47 Wolfgang A Mozart 48 Cai Lun 49 Alexander Graham Bell 50 Euclid 51 Confucius 52 Francis Bacon 53 Moses 54 Wright Bros 55 Benjamin Franklin 56 Qin Shi Huang 57 Alexander Fleming 58 Michael Faraday 59 St Thomas Aquinas 60 Franklin, Watson, Crick 61 Winston Churchill 62 Oliver Cromwell 63 Gregor Mendel 64 Franklin D Roosevelt 65 Werner Heisenberg 66 Ronald Reagan 67 Immanuel Kant 68 John Dalton 69 Henry Ford 70 Simon Bolivar 71 Edward Jenner 72 Gulielmo Marconi 73 William Harvey 74 Niccolo Machiavelli 75 Elvis Presley 76 Mao Zedong 77 Dante Alighieri 78 Louis Daguerre 79 Ashoka 80 Peter the Great 81 Socrates 82 Queen Isabella I 83 Mikhail Gorbachev 84 David 85 Ernest Rutherford 86 Enrico Fermi 87 Antony van Leeuwenhoek 88 John F Kennedy 89 Max Planck 90 Joan of Arc 91 William C Roentgen 92 John Calvin 93 Umar ibn al-Khattab 94 Saint Peter 95 The Beatles 96 Gregory Pincus 97 Johannes Kepler 98 Henry VIII 99 Cicero 100 Lao Tzu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vcczar Posted July 15, 2022 Author Share Posted July 15, 2022 I think I finished mine, although there's like 10 that could be interchanged with 10 others for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OrangeP47 Posted July 15, 2022 Share Posted July 15, 2022 I'm done, I suppose. It's not perfect, but reducing 800 to 100 is never going to be perfect. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, for me, there were about 75-80 clear top 100. I removed about 25 to 20 and found replacements, although I'd say #s 75-150 (if I did rank up to 150) could all fluctuate in and out of the top 100 for me, depending on the week.

Yeah, I think I got down to 71 after removing people from the template, and then I scrolled, and scrolled, and scrolled, like "there's nobody I want to add...." but there were... just mostly at the very bottom, as luck would have it, heh. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jnewt Posted July 15, 2022 Share Posted July 15, 2022 @vcczar How are ties going to be broken, since I think it's fair to assume everyone is going to select Jesus and number of others in common? Also, about to pm you my gmail Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, about to pm you my gmail i'll have polls. So at some point we might see, "Who has been more influential? Jesus or Muhammad?" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe the only such software I have is on my work computer, and it's Government-issued. You just have to be able to access google sheets. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
