Talk:Tia Dalma

message: "Tia Dalma is revealed to have provided Captain Jack Sparrow with his compass seven years prior" got a 'citation needed' tag stuck on it. But isn't that right there in the movie? If it's not, it should be removed, not "cited." --Masamage 06:16, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: It was never said that Barbossa and the crew knew the compass worked. Jack gave them the heading for which they would have to proceed to find the treasure but presumably never told the crew about the compass. So, to answer your question, he got the compass some time after raising the Black Pearl but before being marooned. Gdo01 00:20, 26 December 2006 (UTC)

message: In an interview with Naomie Harris, it is revealed that Jack Sparrow and Tia Dalma were past lovers
I've read several interviews now and found absolutely nothing about this. If it doesn't get backed up pretty soon it'll have to be removed. --Masamage 19:37, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Having seen POTC 2 recently, I had the impression they were lovers. I don't know if it's explicitly stated in the script, but if not, it's strongly implied. -Phoenixrod 22:47, 21 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Sure, and stating that it's possible is totally fine. But saying it's backed up in an interview ought to be reserved for cases in which it actually is. :) So if anyone can find it, that would be great! --Masamage 01:01, 22 July 2006 (UTC)

text: Wow, awesome! Great job, I almost thought it didn't exist! :D --Masamage 18:19, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Interview?

message: It has been revealed by a FilmFocus interview with Naomie Harris that Tia Dalma journeys with the crew of the Black Pearl to the world's end, where Jack's dead body is found on the Pearl, covered in mucus.[citation needed] She is also "...not really who she says she is, she is a lot more powerful" as Harris said. That is all she revealed about this matter; the biggest spoiler she revealed is that she is the cause of Jack's rebirth.
I'm highly suspicious of this paragraph. Let's find a citation or get rid of it. --Masamage 15:32, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: In fact, here's the interview in question. All it says is that she's responsible for bringing him back. --Masamage 15:36, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

text: Not what I was talking about. The part with the "citation needed" sticker is the part that says they find Jack Sparrow's body covered in mucus on the Pearl. I remain deeply suspicious. --Masamage 00:50, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Another interview thing

message: My mother is, to put it lightly, facinated with Tia Dalma's dialect... Was just wondering if anyone knows what dialect she speaks? My friend says it's a Jamaican dialect, can anyone confirm this?

message: Forgive me for the sacriledge, but I re-entered the entry noting similarities between the characters. It's not original research since several fans have noted these similarities before me and you can look online for such opinions. Pictureuploader 11:04, 21 December 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Voodoo Lady

message: I was wondering if this should be mentioned. When jack gave tia the monkey she gave him a jar of dirt help him in some way. Should it mentioned how the jar of dirt was helpful? Lovingnews1989 11:06, 8 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Ah, but how was the jar helpful? ;) Tphi 21:07, 8 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Davy Jones can't step on land until once every 10 years have passed, so the dirt will serve as land, that's why in the third movie he was in a bucket of water :) (70.187.170.226 20:39, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

text: He's quoted as saying 'They're here, and I cannot set foot on land again for near of a decade' in Dead Man's Chest. This would seem to prove part of your argument wrong. ;-) krikkert (Talk) 16:21, 28 June 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Jar of Dirt

message: Because of spoilers, I edited the text of Calypso (Pirates of the Caribbean) and pasted it back over here, reversing the redirect (I didn't move, both pages have talk pages with history, unsure what to do about that). Since the character was introduced as Tia Dalma, and was referred to as Tia Dalma for 2 of the 3 movies, it makes sense that the article should be centered around this persona rather than the persona of Calypso, who is only important in the third movie and whose existance is a spoiler. I moved all the stuff about Calypso to the section about the third movie, and stuck a spoiler tag on it. Really, people, this shouldn't be THAT hard of a spoiler to conceal!

replies: text: No reply? Great! I'll assume I'm the only editor involved, and as I have consensus with myself, I'll edit the lead as I see fit. Kuronue 19:24, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

text: You have consensus from me at least =) Philip Reuben 22:15, 8 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  And now there're third-film spoilers in the first-film brief synopsis. Tsk tsk. Tagged, which will probably bring the masses down upon this article.  Kuronue 19:32, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Spoilers 

message: Technically, "Sea Goddess" isn't an occupation. She makes a living as a fortune-teller. She goes by Tia Dalma for 2.5 movies, so that's properly the name of the character. Why does the box on the right-hand side need to contain spoilers? Just for the purpose of spoiling the third film? All of the info is correct, verifiable, and notable without going into the sea goddess thing; in fact, I'd say she's probably more notable as Tia Dalma, as that's the title of this article. Please reply, otherwise I'll once again assume this page is abandoned and edit at will; I'd much rather discuss this. Kuronue | Talk 02:37, 19 August 2007 (UTC)
