340[edit]

Hi Doranchak, on your posted page, you mean 340 and not 346 in the next to last sentence before the ciphers, right? Your sentence "Additionally, Corey claims that the Caesar shift sequence "346" has a special significance at the very beginning of the decoded cipher text.

Unless I'm missing something, I believe that I'm pointing out a typo that you may want to correct. Cheers,

No, I meant "346". He attributes special significance to this sequence in this excerpt from a personal correspondence: "346 repeats itself 3 times right at the outset before it switches back to 343 and takes on another pattern." — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.163.23.194 (talk) 02:12, 25 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, I see. I thought this was based on the claim of significance of 340 in the original article. I didn't realize there was correspondence.

Good work, btw. It will be interesting to see if that paper publishes a retraction or followup.

November 2017[edit]

Hello, I'm TJRC. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Zodiac Killer in popular culture, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you.

Thanks - I re-added it with citations. Let me know if they are not sufficient. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Doranchak (talk • contribs) 19:19, 3 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Looks good! Thanks. TJRC (talk) 22:59, 3 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Doranchak, have you tried your hand at the potential cipher in the Tamam Shud case? I would be interested in your thoughts on that one. Cheers,
