Citations? 

Some wikipedians feel that lists should have a citation for each member in the list. I'm unsure, and hence I'm soliciting opinions & feedback.
If you look at the article page, you will see that I have put a LOT of effort into adding citations.
Is this necessary?
On another page, in another conversation, two experienced editors have commented:
adding citations does make it easier if someone tries to slip a hoax in, particularly while quite a lot of the naems are redlinks.   
and
 ... there isn't a requirement to have all citations for all the members in the list. As long as every member is covered by a general reference then that is fine. This is mainly used to cover lists from books where every individual reference is to the same two pages in a book. If there is an individual page for each officer then individual references would work well. Regards,   
Please add your 2c worth. (Thanks in advance.)
