What's the process? I've tried to get my name in there and they removed it.

Basically if you aren't somebody you won't get in there. You need to have accomplished something and then provide genuine source material for it.

You need to write a book, form an organization or something significant for your area / country.

OK now I can see why they removed it. Maybe they should have some kind of better outline as what counts.

Maybe you should read the profiles there and see what they have done and then you know what you need to do

The main thing is having proof of your source since they won't accept websites.

What kind of source exactly? Its not like I can mail in stuff to them.

You need to show them where you are spoken about in newspapers or given awards and such.

Out of curiosity why are you wanting to get your name in there?
