Should we list Sam Baker on the "List of Polish supercentenarians" article? He was born on a ship that was sailing from Poland to Canada. Is it enough to make him Polish, or does he just barely fall short by the narrowest margin?

His case was known about for a while, but I discovered an 1887 birth or baptismal record for him, and Fish and I were able to discover documentation for all of his siblings and to know the total number of his siblings from his mother's 1910 US Census entry, thus ensuring that there was no identity swap with a younger sibling.
He claimed a birth year of 1886, FWIW. And his birth date was one day off from what he himself claimed.
LongeviQuest has recently validated this man:
AFAIK, the GRG still hasn't, but I think that it's a good idea to add him to the Puerto Rican SCs page. I have tried doing that, but I don't know how to change his box to make him unverified. Also, he should be put on the all-time Puerto Rico SC list(s).
On her GerWiki page, it says this:
"On 25 December 2000 and 2001, Christina Cock became the first (and so far only) australian to reach 113 and 114 years, respectively."
But it's inaccurate: Australian woman Beatrice Mears reached age 113 just a year after Mrs. Cock.
Thus, can this part please be fixed?
