message: *With the recent addition of Adolphus79, it seems there are presently 6 members making the project eligable to become an official WikiProject. Would anyone have any opinions on how the project should be organized ? Also, while we're on the subject, how many project members would everyone feel to be nessessary to propose becoming an official WikiProject ? MadMax 00:02, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I think it should be organized something like Wikipedia:WikiProject Tropical cyclones or Wikipedia:WikiProject Inheritance Trilogy. And I think it should be made an official wikiproject NOW'!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 :P íslenska hurikein #12(samtal) 00:13, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Maybe all projects do this, but one thing we should do is have a box to add to the Talk pages, like Military History has. See Talk:Battle_of_Jersey for example --Awiseman 18:28, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: *Look's like a good idea. We should at the very least think about some sort of template. Anyone have any experience with temple design by any chance ? MadMax 21:33, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

message: Do we have any good or featured articles about pirates that we can use for an example? If not, can we nominate one to be a good/featured article? Bibliomaniac15 19:12, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: A lot of pirate articles are long enough for GA or FA, but they still need inline sourcing. íslenska hurikein #12(samtal) 19:25, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: *That's a good point. Perhaps we might consider listing articles needing improvement as well ? Articles such as Bartholomew Roberts and Bartolomeo Portugues for example could certainly do with some improvement. MadMax 19:31, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Pirate list

message: *Recently the reliability of primary sources relating to English pirate John Ward has been called into question and has raised the serious concern that John Ward may in fact have been a non-existant person. If anyone has any comments or questions, please leave a message on the talk page. MadMax 01:22, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Existance of [[John Ward (pirate)|John Ward]] ?

message: Piracy has a long list of pirates in popular culture that I think is out of control, or at least wayyy too long. Can someone stop by and help trim it? --Awiseman 20:05, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  please help cleanup lists at [[Piracy]] 

message: *I've just created a new piracy template for the WikiProject, largely working off the Military Person Infobox. I'd certainly appreciate any comments or suggestions. Any help would certainly be appreciated. MadMax 01:13, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
