Info
I submitted my record yesterday for Most Facebook Friends with 5230 friends (Profile: Yasathilaka Wayidhyarathna Bandara).
I would like to request a review of the current record of 6223 by William Scott (2013).
As you know, Facebook's official friend limit is 5000. The 6223 record was set in 2013 using a bug that no longer exists, and the profile is no longer verifiable as active with 6223 friends. I also saw that you previously denied Michael Hibbert's 8924 record for insufficient evidence.
My record of 5230 is: • Fully verifiable with screen recording • Currently ACTIVE (2025) • Above the normal 5000 limit (rare legacy profile) • Sri Lanka No. 1
If the 6223 record cannot be verified as currently active, I kindly request to be recognised as the WORLD No. 1 ACTIVE Profile for the most Facebook Friends.
I have attached my video proof.
Thank you, Yasathilaka Wayidhyarathna Bandara. No. 1 - 5230 Friends
