Another one of your messy "all time" lists. Why do you have to quantify things like that?
It's hard to know who Shakespeare is, but not to know who Da Vinci is at the same time.
Or to know of Hitler, but not of Caesar. Sorry, but the whole list is
Things like these should be done in Tiers, not in Lists.
Men not named yet in any list but who should have:
Ghengis Khan, Attila the Hun, Tamarlane, Copernicus, Socrates. (the list of philosophers not names is rather extensive is but if the limit is small, religious leaders and successful conquerors take precedence)
Haven't seen Madame Curie on any of the women's lists.
The Mother of Jesus should be the Mary at #1 not Magdalene. She has dozens of feast days celebrated by millions of people around the world every year. Magdalene only has 1. Her birthday is the second most popular birthday after Jesus'.
