Talk:Progressive Citizens of America

Thought Control conference
In the "History" section, should a list of the conference's participants and attendees be included?

Since I'm the one who put in the paragraph, I think a list should be included to show the reader that these people weren't crazies but were rather serious-minded people who felt that certain freedoms were under attack.

Among these people were actors (like Vincent Price and Howard Da Silva); newsmen & reporters; newspaper/magazine editors, publishers, writers; scientists from several fields (chemistry, botany, meteorology); lawyers & attorneys; educators; playwrights, screenwriters, authors, journalists, radio writers {radio was still a big thing then); film & stage directors & producers; musicians; dancers; etc.

The list I have has 80 names and their occupations. However, this might be considered "original research" since I created the list from the book that I cited as the source for the paragraph I put in. But the book itself (which is in my possession) gives the names and their occupations; so, shouldn't my list be considered a summary/synopsis/abstract?

From what I can tell, this conference was a rather big deal; but other than my book, I have no way of checking secondary sources like the supposedly "top source" of Gideon's Army by Curtis MacDougall to see if it's mentioned.

But because the list is long --- and I think the whole list should be put in --- I thought I'd put the question to everyone here to get a consensus instead going ahead and putting it in only to have someone remove it making me feel that all my work was worth nothing (which is very aggravating).

So, should the list be added?

I await your feedback. 2600:8800:785:1300:C23F:D5FF:FEC4:D51D (talk) 07:14, 21 October 2018 (UTC)
