Apparent contradiction between lead and body

The lead says Peary's sighting is "believed" to be fraudulent, while the Background section says it's "known" to be fraudulent. 64.250.205.81 (talk) 20:57, 21 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The statement in the Background section seems to be based on the fact that Crocker Land is not mentioned in Peary's diary during the time he claimed to have discovered it. But "as he wrote in his diary" followed by the claim of fraud sounds like he admitted to the fabrication in his diary (which he did not do).

Perhaps that part should just be removed or further clarification of how the diary shows the claim to be fraudulent should be added (like exists in Peary's BLP). 64.250.205.81 (talk) 21:57, 21 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

My confusion stemmed from a misreading of the statement. The inclusion of a source at the end of this part of the sentence led me to believe that was the whole claim. "It is now known that Peary's claim is fraudulent, as he wrote in his diary at the time". However the full sentence is "It is now known that Peary's claim is fraudulent, as he wrote in his diary that no land was visible". The placement of the source (I'm guessing) is because the source does not mention the last part, but does mention the diary. But since the source supports the overall claim of fraud, I placed it after "fraudulent" to avoid any confusion in the future. 64.250.205.81 (talk) 22:11, 21 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
