Talk:Pirates in the arts and popular culture

General Cleanup

Okay, I've spent a lot of time generally improving the readability and professionalism of this article, but I'm just one person who's only a Level 1 Pirate (haha). I added the "improve citations" tag because while I have some resources I've yet to sift through, I've tried to prepare the article for further expansion. Please add citations where I've marked and in any other necessary places, and expand in the shorter paragraphs. Keep in mind that this is not the article about pirate history; I've tried to mention history only to explain how it informs the cultural pirate figure.Elle (talk) 01:53, 16 January 2008 (UTC)

Merge from Pirate Accent

i think this is fitting. flipjargendy 18:03, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

I agree that it should be merged. mcain 05:33, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

I agree as well. Definately merge. Palendrom 01:52, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

Merging would be a good idea. Atheist-Expat 16:48, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

Works

A useful collection of influential pirate literature can be fond at this link [[1][2]]. I did not check the references myself, but they seem fairly accurate. The current common perception of pirates is/was greatly influenced by some of the works quoted there like Esquemeling's. Niko3w 17:22, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

I've added headers to the fictional pirates section which should help make the section easier for people to read through and simpler for editors to expand the sections (as there is plenty of room in all the sections). What I'd suggest is to sort them chronologically as the sections expand. (Emperor 15:38, 11 February 2007 (UTC))

Pirates in Music

A song under the "Pirates in Music" section is incorrect. The Arrogant Worms song is "The Last Saskatchewan Pirate", not "The Pirates of the Saskatchewan." Also, Saskatchewan was spelt incorrectly.

Also, the pirate rap artist, "Captain Dan and the Scurvy Crew" were left out. Additionally, shouldn't the reference to "Barrett's Privateers" (correct spelling) by Stan Rogers be under this section, instead of under "Other"?

metroid

Space pirates are also the main enemy of Samus Aran in the Metroid series by Nintendo. In the game, space pirates pursue the unique metroid life form in order to dominate the universe. However, their plans are usually foiled by Samus.

"usually"? come on how many times have you died in Metroid vs. the number of times you defeated Mother Brain? Be honest.--144.131.67.249 13:27, 4 October 2006 (UTC)

Go get 'em, Dougie!

Thanks to whoever put in the pirate movies link! Scott Lang 10:27, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

Pirates XXX

Shouldn't this be mentioned? It is quite the phenomenon, and definitely has a lot to do with the prevalence of pirates in pop culture. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by IceJew (talk • contribs) 05:34, 28 March 2007 (UTC).

• Without endorsing the proposal, I provide the correct title, & note we cover the work in question:’’Pirates’’ (2005 film)

Irish-Accented Performance in Silent Film

Faith and begorrah, this is a remarkable claim. Notice that I can type stereotypical Irish a la Barry Fitzgerald while speaking with a Southern accent. 65.6.138.68 (talk) 05:07, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

It certainly is odd to contemplate a real accent (as opposed to simple regional diction) in a silent movie. Perhaps the wording should be adjusted.--Piledhigheranddeeper (talk) 16:21, 18 September 2009 (UTC)

I think this has gone on long enough. Unsourced material is liable to deletion at any time; the Irish accent statement is unsourced and highly questionable. I'm zapping it. Pirate Dan (talk) 14:52, 8 December 2009 (UTC)

Facebook

Should it be mentioned that facebook has a language called Engish(Pirate)? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.107.163.39 (talk) 23:40, 1 December 2009 (UTC)

Cardiocondyla pirata

The Cardiocondyla pirata holotype with an eye pattern reminiscent of a pirate's eyepatch.

The newly described ant species Cardiocondyla pirata has been named for "the black ribbon across the eye reminiscent of a pirate’s blindfold." I didn't find a good place to insert that into the article, so I thought I'd just mention it here. -- Daniel Mietchen - WiR/OS (talk) 21:40, 18 May 2013 (UTC)
