I know this is going against what I said earlier, but I think we should limit this list to the top ten entries because r the moment, it just looks silly. Lachlan5963 (Talk) 22:21, February 12, 2013 (UTC)
Rankings history
In light of many recent edits made to the "historical record" templates at the bottom of articles, I think it's time to find sources for them all and put them all in one place so we have a master list from which everyone can refer to. Please help me with this if you can. Lachlan (Talk | contribs) (an admin) 11:13, 17 April 2018 (UTC)
