I didn't add this template because I think the article is written badly or misrepresents the facts, but to give readers a warning that this topic is the subject of much conjecture and uncertainty. If there's a better template to put that idea across, I would encourage someone to use it instead of "Disputed." Docmcconl (talk) 00:33, 2 May 2008 (UTC)Reply
Since you don't actually dispute any of the facts in the article, I don't think the Disputed template is appropriate. That the reality of the warrant is controversial is clearly stated in the article. Therefore I propose removing the Disputed template, and will do so unless there is objection.

The article has been noted as unsourced since 2007 and it is almost 2011.
This article hasn't sufficient reliable sources that an average person can check and fails WP:VERIFY and [[[WP:RS]]. --Javaweb (talk) 23:17, 19 December 2010 (UTC)JavawebReply
I added two recent scholarly books from 2008 and 2009 that cover the case, and also deleted un-sourced material that is not referenced by any popular or scholarly source. Rjensen (talk) 01:18, 20 December 2010 (UTC)Reply
Thank you for the references. The reference from Harvard press looks good.
"Shattering the Truth: The Slandering of Abraham Lincoln"
Author Dennis W. Brandt
Publisher Booksurge Llc, 2009
ISBN9781439229323
I'm considering deleting the reference because:
1. It's not easily found in libraries. worldcat.org, the metacatalog of libraries shows none having this book.
2. It was self-published via Booksurge
3. Amazon shows it as rarely purchased: ~873,900 books sold more. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Javaweb (talk • contribs) 03:03, 20 December 2010 (UTC)Reply
I deleted Brandt as a source because it is not reliable. This appears to be a self-published book by an author without any credentials on the matter. ~~ —Preceding unsigned comment added by DLTielhard (talk • contribs) 04:28, 8 May 2011 (UTC)Reply

With the new sources I just added I think theee is little doubt that this is a well sourced claim even a probable one now that we have 3 sources Kalmenb (talk) 05:22, 9 August 2018 (UTC)Reply
