Isn't TIME Magazine's 100 most influential people of the 20th century about the same thing this article is about? If so shouldn't these articles be merged? Or should both of these articles be merged into Time 100? Jason McHuff (talk) 04:28, 18 December 2007 (UTC)
I merged TIME Magazine's 100 most influential people of the 20th century into Time 100: The Most Important People of the Century and also redirected the former to the latter. Hult041956 (talk) 17:13, 19 December 2007 (UTC)
The guy who created this list is trully an idiot —Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.151.244.167 (talk) 07:30, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
The image Image:Einstein TIME Person of the Century.jpg is used in this article under a claim of fair use, but it does not have an adequate explanation for why it meets the requirements for such images when used here. In particular, for each page the image is used on, it must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Please check

No Dr Sun Yat Sen? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.109.90.38 (talk) 05:52, 13 November 2009 (UTC)
Discussing a list of 100 most important people: might it make sense to ... er ... list the 100 people? Is there a copyright problem? Yes, I can click on over to Time magazine; it looks like I might be able to get the list there, one by one, clicking 100 times and reading ads. Not something I can do at the speed of my home internet. Jamesdowallen (talk) 12:51, 17 December 2009 (UTC)
It's even worse than that. This wikipedia pages has a link to "The Complete List" at Time. That link not only doesn't have a completer list at all, but is the beginning of just the 2009 LIst. Obviously (and understandably) Time want lots of ad-views before divulging The 100. Wikipedia does not need to participate in this as Time's agent. Jamesdowallen (talk) 12:59, 17 December 2009 (UTC)
OK: After clicking Edit page, I see mention of Copyright restriction. Nevertheless the links to Time magazine's website are useless: they all redirect to the advertisement page for the The 2009 List. I've removed those links, though a more knowledgeable Wiki editor will need to follow through with some more removals to avoid error flags. You're welcome. Jamesdowallen (talk) 13:17, 17 December 2009 (UTC)
I'm unable to find the list anywhere online; I think time may not have it online. Links that claim to go there all redirect to the time 100 for 2009 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.232.9.144 (talk) 09:12, 7 January 2010 (UTC)
Not including the list makes this article a non-starter. Who cares if person X or Publication Y thinks Z if you don't STATE what it is that they think? If Time wants this material copyrighted, secret, not suitable for public consumption, let's just delete the whole article. You might as well list the top 3 out of 100 microbes that human enamel thinks are most detrimental, failing to cite the source, and omitting the other 97. If this must exist, state that the list exists, but that it has been deemed unsuitable for publication, and don't include ANY listings. Time did Name Hitler man of the year in 1999. That should put their viewpoint in perspective - sensationalist media out for the buck. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.249.123.10 (talk) 16:57, 24 December 2011 (UTC)
Though I understand the copyright reasons not to have the list, the lack of it makes the entire article moot. It basically is an advertisement to subscribe to Time. (Which let's be honest, lost it's merits long, long ago. "Something is happening, but you don't know what it is. Do you, Mr. Jones") You can see the list apparently only if you subscribe. Although I'm deeply curious who's on it, it actually offends me Time has this approach. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.142.172.23 (talk) 23:03, 16 May 2012 (UTC)
In the article, Time 100 see paragraph one (1) of History & format as it states: The list was started with a debate at a symposium in Washington, D.C., on February 1, 1998, with panel participants CBS news anchor Dan Rather…
In the article, Time 100: The Most Important People of the Century see paragraph two (2) of the article as it states: The idea for such a list started on February 1, 1998, with a debate at a symposium in Ha Noi, Vietnam. The panel participants were former CBS Evening News anchor Dan Rather…

the fact that elvis doesn't make the list makes a mockery of the whole idea. you are always going to cause upset and debate with these sort of lists because when all said and done it's a matter of personal opinion. how though,can someone be left off the list when,if the people on the list were voting they would probably all vote for him above themselves and he influenced most of those on the list. ask youngsters now who they've heard of, most have heard of the beatles,all have heard of elvis. surely the most biased panellist must appreciate the enormous impact on the world someone has had when 37 years after they died there are over 85,000 people impersonating them,most of which are earning a good living. people who met him said he had more charisma than anyone they had ever met,oh and what a singer !!!!!!!!! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 176.253.197.38 (talk) 21:44, 7 January 2015 (UTC) |

That's in dispute: https://archive.org/details/TruthForGermany --41.55.119.218 (talk) 14:12, 17 February 2018 (UTC) |
The paragraph I have added does not violate copyright of the list, it just points out who is on the list.--2001:8003:6F2D:C900:3824:7922:5B8D:D44F (talk) 14:27, 19 November 2018 (UTC)
Just pointing out that the paragraph listing who else is on the list will be readded the day this page gets unlocked. Which ironically is on Christmas Day, another thing to get excited about. Now I'm expecting the Banner wn't like it, but just like how the Grinch learnt a lesson on Christmas day, I hope a message about FAIR FLIPPING USE will get through his thick skull.--2001:8003:6F2D:C900:486B:B06D:B2DC:C05D (talk) 10:26, 25 November 2018 (UTC)
But as was explained a bazillion gagillion times the list is copyright protected, if we were to post the list in the exact order, yes it can be harmful to Wikipedia (though you could send an e-mail a day to TIME telling them how Wikipedia pointed it out, I don't think they'd care much) but if we were to make a paragraph of those on the list, in alphabetical order, then it would fall under fair use. Wikipedia is filled with summaries of copyright protected movies and books but not one lawsuit has been made.--101.184.116.198 (talk) 00:32, 1 January 2019 (UTC)
Pro tip: if anyone wants to see the full list, look at the previous edit history of this page, the full list has been added and removed numerous times. You're welcome. Snkn179 (talk) 01:25, 18 August 2019 (UTC)
