Based on a very popular article at Examiner.com, entitled Wikipedia reveals Top 10 most contentious people (http://www.examiner.com/wiki-edits-in-national/wikipedia-reveals-top-10-most-contentious-people ), there was a call for expanding the list to include the Top 100. This list is a result of looking at Wikipedia data and calculating a ratio of biography Talk page edits (the "heat") over the number of page views the biography itself receives (the "light"). The list is based on page-view statistics from June 2011.

So, by popular demand, here it is:
