Thank you for this interesting list. Would it be possible to add a source to the article? If there is no source, perhaps we could add a sentence like, "This list is compiled by Conservapedia editors using the data displayed on each Twitter profile page."

:Well, I used to have to drive a long way to work, and I used to listen to conservative talk radio. That, and following through all the same people's Twitter connections to the end, indicated to me who the major conservative Twitter participants were as well as enabling me to make a list of strong candidates for those on the lower and lesser-known ranks as they grow.
:Since the "conservative civil war", it was shown that not all people who present themselves to be conservatives are all that committed to the "three legs of the conservative stool" as User:Conservative put it. So you can't always trust what is said on their Twitter profile description and, on the other hand, personally reserved but active conservatives who don't want to either stress ideology and/or be targeted for harassment may not include a profession of conservatism at all.
:Besides me, there aren't any other users editing that page. I've tried to keep the criteria, beyond the three legs of the stool, as who is "generally accepted as conservative". It may be easier than it sounds, because most of these same candidates are competitively trying to gain followers by performing concrete acts to advance conservatism.
:So all this is to show that the source is, besides me, really the large number of Twitter followers itself, because they tend to become targets and have to defend themselves along the argumentative lines of conservative principles.
