Piracy project
Hi Pirate Dan, would you be interested in hosting the temporary piracy project page? I would do it, but it looks like you have a lot of ideas already. Basically it's just a task list, similar to what is already at Wikipedia:WikiProject/List_of_proposed_projects#Piracy. This is a good example of what it'd look like: User:/WikiProject_Polynesia. I can help you make it if you'd like. --AW 20:31, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
- Hi Dan, thanks for creating it and everything! It looks great --AW 17:06, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
The Whydah / Whidah / Whidaw
Ha, no problem; thanks to your edit, I had a grand old time looking up name variants for this doomed vessel. ;) Pirates are not the best spellers, and even their chroniclers rarely agree. I count at least three different spellings in other sources, and expect more (don't even get me started on Blackbeard's ships). Best, -- Docether 20:50, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
Pirate round
it would help if you could find and quote some uses of the exact term. I'm familiar with what you describe, but I have never heard it called that. One or two quotes with detailed sources, including page numbers, are what you need. DGG 07:57, 14 April 2007 (UTC)
- Very well. I have now included direct quotes from David Cordingly and Jenifer G. Marx in the article. The Pirate Round is also referenced by name in Douglas Botting's The Pirates, but I don't have that book ready to hand, so I trust these two citations will be sufficient.
