Talk:Longevity

Addition of a chart to picture longevity among organisms

I recently added a chart of my creation to the page regarding longest life-spans recorded [1](based on the AnAge database) under "Non-human biological longevity". It promptly got removed (both because of me not knowing external links don't belong in image captions and because it's apparently illegible) and I was wondering whether or not the community considers useful to have this sorta representation and if it's as I hope sufficiently understandable and insightful.

It is illegible - the text cannot be read. As such it does not add useful information to the page. MrOllie (talk) 21:18, 1 October 2024 (UTC)

Will try to heighten legibility and update it in the List of longest-living organisms (article for which it was originally created) and maybe in the future re-add it here Yobonnie (talk) 08:41, 2 October 2024 (UTC)

Good source?

The article cites this paper . It is interesting but it is a primary study. It wouldn't pass WP:MEDRS so we can't cite in on Wikipedia. Psychologist Guy (talk) 03:02, 10 January 2025 (UTC)
