The top 100 historical figures of Wikipedia are determined on the basis of statistical methods and mathematical algorithms like PageRank, CheiRank and 2DRank applied to networks of Wikipedia in up to 24 languages. In the statistical respects this top 100 list is of differs from the historical, cultural and other type arguments used by such historians like Michael H. Hart. The various mathematical methods and results obtained by different groups are described below. In spite or the mathematical and statistical grounds of those approaches they have overlap of about 43 percent with the top 100 list of Hart. The distributions of top PageRank historical figures over world countries (Fig. 1) and 35 centuries of human history are analyzed. This sh...
