This page has been listed for deletion by one of Wiki's police. I would like to see this page saved on Wikipedia for the educational value. The information is truthful and relevant. People are learning about sex offenders and desire to make informed decisions on current legislation in their communities. By reading profiles or biographies of established offenders, readers are able to achieve a better understanding. jaimenote

  • I am not a "policeman." I am just a regular editor. AиDя01DTALKEMAIL 06:50, July 10, 2005 (UTC)
  • Looking back, I should not have made the, "Wiki Police" comment. This together with the statement offered to justify intercepting/blocking rather than assisting the development of this article were argumentative and curt. Though some might not agree, I worked hard on this article and did my research. I have a passion about the subject matter along with the educational potential of this specific case. I was offended by the abrupt and final nature of your response to my effort. I still think the article deserved better handling, but putting that aside, I want to fix whatever makes this a more interesting and appealing submission. I hope that you and the others are more satisfied while I continue to work atlistening more to constructive suggestions and less the too - easily stated - blank criticisms. jaimenote

It should definitely be kept. Does anyone have any info on his previous crime(s)?

I don't think it should be deleted, but maybe some references would be nice? This was all over the news at the time, so I think it's notable enough, and the article is clearly written, but appears unsourced. 24.131.12.228 06:19, 19 November 2006 (UTC)


The page should explain the two external URL's. Why are there two? How do they differ? Is he the writer of both? How does he write from prison?

He writes them by hand, mails to ghost blogger, who posts them exactly as written. (Annoyingly, the ghost blogger doesn't separates blocks of text into easier-to-read paragraphs. --Shultz III 08:12, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
Is there a source for this to show 1) that the blog is legitimate, and 2) that the police are reading it?

[edit] Where did he access the Net?

Before getting caught, where would he post from? Where would he use a computer to post these blogs? --Shultz III 08:12, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Alleged

Changed the intro from "serial killer" to "alleged serial killer," as required by WP:BLP. Per [1] he is yet to be tried. The confession to earlier murders is described in the newspaper as "alleged." Edison 18:07, 24 January 2007 (UTC)
