Line 59:
==Ripper and Sickert==
Ok this is my position - I believe that this page is far too heavily weighted towards the allegations about Sickert being Jack the Ripper. There is far too much information on this page for what is supposed to be a serious biographical piece about him. The Ripper allegations are almost universally discounted by both serious Ripperologists and biographers of Sickert. Indeed Wikipedia user JohnK has pointed out the Columbia encyclopaedia and the Encyclopaedia Britannica do not contain any mention of the Ripper allegations. I contend therefore this this information should be placed elsewhere and that this article should contain a brief mention of these allegations but link to some other place where this information is covered in more depth. It has been agreed (for the moment) that the Patricia Cornwell article should remain as a host of the information surrounding her book and her allegations. The question therefore remains what to do about the other allegations and discoveries of other authors and researchers. It seems to me that the obvious place to put this information is [[list of proposed Jack the Ripper suspects]] which would probably have a tendency to duplicate this information anyway. Now I hope we can continue this discussion without it descending into insults - I do not like being accused of being a - "newbie with an obvious bias" or "rude" or "snotty" or of "breaking the three revert rule" (I have proven that I haven't) "vandalism" or any of the other things. All I have done is re-instate the details of Patricia Cornwell's book on her page and to have asked for that page to be protected when someone kept deleting it. I have not made any other edits on this subject - indeed I have not attempted to change anything on this article in particular because I was trying to achieve agreement through discussion before doing anything that might upset people.
