Edit request from Pinhead1978, 22 February 2011

{{edit semi-protected}} I beleive it is beneficial for readers to add the following to external links http://www.jack-the-ripper-tours.com It is a walking tour that is both educational and fun managed by Ripping Yarns of all the Jack the Ripper murder Scenes.

Carl Feigenbaum

I understand the case of the murders in America, and the above chap, being linked to the Ripper murders are weak; howeverhe does seem to have been made popular via the web and TV docs. Would it not be worthwild to add in a line naming him as/in connection with the American killings described? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.8.192.142 (talk) 00:21, 1 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

He has been given mention on the suspect page.

Popular culture

I know this is a featured article and trivia section and such are not encouraged and i know that the article Jack the Ripper fiction exist but even so, why it was eliminated the "in popular culture" section?, i think like 3 years ago according to the talk section archives, does the Jack the Ripper fiction article cover that?, should the section be added again?, Should and article be created?. Zidane tribal (talk) 05:20, 31 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

No, it shouldn't. If it isn't worth placing in Jack the Ripper fiction, then it's probably cruft and doesn't belong on Wiki. Do you have something particular in mind that you are thinking you would like to add?

I had but, after going thru Jack the Ripper fiction is more than enough, i like "in popular culture" sections and articles, with small unimportant mentions in them, but that`s just me. Zidane tribal (talk) 16:58, 31 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Further information.

It is a know fact of when the murders started and when they ended. The very first "Ripper oriented" murder was committed August 31st 1888, and the very last know murder was November 9th 1888. There was 5 murders in total. Beginning with Martha Tabram and ending with Mary Jane Kelly.

Furthermore, not that I saw much information about it, the urder sequence was Martha Tabram(No age given, Mary Ann "Polly" Nichols(Age 44), Annie Chapman(Age 47), Elizabeth Steide(Age 45), Catherina Eddowes(Age 46), and Mary Jane Kelly(Age 25).
