A fact from Floyd Allen appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 24 August 2006. The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that the gravestone of executed murderer, Floyd Allen supposedly read in part, "judicially murdered by the State of Virginia over the protests of more than 100,000 of its citizens"?

A record of the entry may be seen at Wikipedia:Recent additions/2006/August.

Authority

Some of the detail referred to for citation in this article is of dubious authority (the Geocities site in particular). WP:RS? Cain Mosni 15:41, 24 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps this was a term paper, directly copied-and-pasted to the site; oddly enough, the article prominently references... itself. ( See: "The article in Wikipedia on this subject is documented..." and "The Wikipedia article represents..." ). Someone might want to fix that. 129.74.33.16 (talk) 16:25, 13 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

There are many books written on the subject, so finding references should not be difficult. Newspapers of the time wrote volumes about the case. The Noah Combs that Floyd assaulted was my cousin's husband. He survived the assault and had at least 16 kids. Both families had been in Virginia since the 1700s, and feuds could go back generations and never be resolved.
