Considering the thrust of this article's content, it does not seem like the sort of thing someone who wasn't part of it would like to be associated with — and there are at least 14 (mostly presumably living) people being claimed as attached to this subject with no source. If this isn't resolved pretty much imminently, each unsourced line about a person allegedly connected to GCC should be removed.
