No I just mean I can't verify them myself- no links and a pain to read. Read the relevant wiki sections- alot more than half can be assumed to be wrong.

And yes thats exactly what I'm saying- these are just words on the interwebs, which have come under lots of criticism- and in tribute to past battles, heres an amusing paragraph from the website-

"In a listing of this size, some apparently duplicate names and some names identical to real or fictional people who are not scientists or signatories occur by chance. This listing has been very carefully verified. It contains one and only one entry for each scientist and contains no entries for individuals who are not trained in science or who did not sign the petition."

As if- names are added one by one, and if you were seriuos you'd veryfy them as such- they went for speed and size, veracity be condemned. "Dr. Geri Halliwel" doesn't turn up by herself, and if they don't vet even simple things like that, why would anyone trust them?
