100 most important people ever (according to Time magazine)

I quit halfway through -- some times last names only were accepted but not always. With monarchs, i wast sure what you wanted. If Henry viii isn't good enough .....

And after you fix all of the inconsistencies (why, for example, do we have to type out "King George III of the United Kingdom" but "Queen Victoria" is accepted without more?) you can correct all of the misspellings ("thesis" when you should have "theses," "Sayer" when you mean "Sawyer," "emporer," "Medival") and factual errors (Pope Benedict is the one preceding the current one). Until then this doesn't make the grade.

Same as others gave up halfway cos of too many name inconsistancys

It seems that all you have to do is to be the president of the USA to be one of the greatest people ever...

A few explorers, including Abel Tasman (hence Tasmania) visited Australia before James Cook came along.

Galileo didn't discover Jupiter. It was well-known over 2 millennia before him. "The planet Jupiter has been known since ancient times. It is visible to the naked eye in the night sky and can occasionally be seen in the daytime when the Sun is low." (Wikipedia)

Please accept Jean d'Arc for Joan of Arc

I would consider the Greeks early philosophers, not Nietzche. St. Paul, St. Peter, would not take. Last names only are fine, then Cook is not accepted. William is not accepted. William I is not accepted.

Please accept Samuel Clemens for Mark Twain. (It was his real name).

Whoever made this list seems to feel that Americans are more important than pretty much everyone else! Grant and Cleveland are among the most 100 important people of all time, on the list with Jesus, Buddha, and Muhammad? How about Confucius? Where are some eastern philosophers? Where are any Africans? And women are scarce here. Really seems very biased and Americentrist.

Very, very Americentrist, to the point where it is embarrassing and shameful. Mandela does not make the cut. Neither does Confucius or Lao Tsu. Bolivar, the Liberator of South America, does not qualify, apparently, either. Adam Smith is not there. I didn't see Gutenberg on the list, nor Kepler or Mao (very important, even if not in a good way). Cleopatra and Homer also did not quite cut the mustard. Picasso is nowhere to be found. But Grover Cleveland (quick, name one act or policy of his without Googling it) makes it, as do Reagan and Bush. So do Andrew Jackson, Robert E. Lee and Ulysses S Grant. I like John F. Kennedy, but is he one of the 100 most influential people in the entirety of WORLD history? Yet according to this list, they are right up there with Jesus and the Buddha. This is a list, supposedly, of the 100 most important people ever in world history? Really? Ridiculous.
