Jack the Ripper?

Someone added that JTR is "a common abbreviation for...Jack the Ripper." Might I ask someone to illustrate how it is common, and perhaps where it is commonly referred to as such? A cite or twomight help a bit (here, not in the dab).- Arcayne () 15:12, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

It's clearly not common except in contexts where unjustified initialisms are used, such as Misplaced Pages and blogs. I propose a comprimise, which violates the MoS in having two links in a disambig entry, but it seems necessary. — Arthur Rubin (talk) 14:38, 19 August 2008 (UTC)
