→Expanded list of members: rsp to Andy S and TK
::::: It's a long list. I did some spot-checking and found confirmation for every name I checked. But perhaps some further review would also be helpful. Do you feel the citations in the table back up the inclusion of every single name on the list?--[[User:Aschlafly|Andy Schlafly]] 16:18, 25 July 2010 (EDT)

::::::They do. I looked up each one myself. The full list would be much longer, of course, if it comes out (actually, I think that's inevitable). Eventually, I think this should be a stand-alone list on its own page, and I'd like to expand this article. -- [[User:JohnWBarber|JohnWBarber]] 20:14, 25 July 2010 (EDT)
As a matter of style, perhaps we could forgo that huge wall of text, and merely link to the purported members? Without that huge list, we still convey the meat of the story, and those researching can use the provided links if the entire membership list is needed. Just a thought..... --<big>[[User:TK|'''ṬK''']]</big><sub>/Admin</sub><sup>[[User_Talk:TK|/Talk]]</sup> 16:48, 25 July 2010 (EDT)

:As I say just above, I think the list shoule eventually be put on a separate page (It may be long enough now for that, but I'm not familiar with Conservapedia practices on that kind of decision.) I think being able to sort the table to look up which newspapers or magazines or other institutions had a number of members (or any members) is something that would really help readers interested in this topic. Each of the people on the list either wrote something that was considered important in some way by those writing news stories about the list, or they signed a public petition, putting their names out before the public in an attempt to exert influence about coverage of the 2008 campaign. I think anyone interested in this subject is going to want to know who those people are. At the very least, readers are going to want to know which names were with particular organizations. -- [[User:JohnWBarber|JohnWBarber]] 20:14, 25 July 2010 (EDT)
