thread_title:  Morgan's articles? 

message: This article should be renamed "Pirate articles" or "Articles of piracy."  At no time did the pirates refer to their articles as a "code"; the idea of a "code" comes from the movie Pirates of the Caribbean, not from history.  Furthermore, the idea that these three sets of articles sprang from some original code invented jointly by Roberts and Morgan is impossible.  Roberts was six years old when Morgan died. --Pirate Dan 04:23, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I think a move is absolutely needed - real-world facts should not be recorded under a name purely from fiction (though the reverse would be acceptable).  Would 'Articles of Agreement' be acceptable?  That seems to be the name given most prominently in the article itself.  TSP 22:29, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: In my opinion the title should include the word "pirate".  "Articles of Agreement" is ambiguous out of context (the context being the whole encyclopedia).  Does anyone like "Pirate law"?  The only problem I see with that is that it could also refer to national laws (British etc.) governing the treatment of pirates.

text: Agree - This article should be renamed "Pirate articles" since "Pirate code" is a fictional film reference. Pirate articles would also be consistent and complement the "Ship's articles" page about the other types of of articles used by mariners.Dan Conlin (talk) 19:35, 12 April 2022 (UTC)
thread_title:  Move 

message: The Movie don't say that the Code was invented By Henry Morgan and Bartholomew Roberts, it was only said thtit was made by the "Pirates Morgan and Bartholomew". However, Henry Morgan had two contemporary pirates named Bartholomew (Bartolomeo Portugues & Bartholomew Sharp) and a pirate called Kasper (or Casper) Morgan was active on Madagascar in the days of Roberts, so the Code could have been invented two real-life pirates with this names. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.144.83.147 (talk • contribs) 07:55, 27 April 2007
:True, the actual movie line only says "Morgan and Bartholomew."  The article has claimed that "Bartholomew" was Roberts and that "Morgan" was Henry since before I started editing it, but that may just be the supposition of the writer.  Do the Pirates of the Caribbean books say anything more detailed about it?
:You're right that Portugues and Sharp were both contemporaries of Morgan.  On the other hand, I'm unfamiliar with this Casper/Kasper Morgan, and I don't see anything about any pirate with that name on the Net.  But I'd agree to changing the article to reflect the possibility that the movie is referring to Portugues or Sharp.  Pirate Dan 13:38, 27 April 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Morgan and Roberts 

message: I think two of the statements we now have about the movies' "Pirate Code" are questionable.
One, I'm almost certain I heard Barbossa (or somebody) say that the gathering of the Pirate Lords in POTC: At World's End was the fourth meeting of the Brethren Court, not the second.
Two, while Barbossa did maroon Jack with a pistol and one shot, I don't recall any reference to that being part of the movie code (although it was included in some historical pirate articles).

replies: text: Well, now someone's saying it's the fifth meeting, not the second or the fourth.  I'll see if the script is on line somewhere. - - Pirate Dan 13:10, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: It was the fourth, but that whole paragraph is beside the point anyway.  The circumstances of Elizabeth's election are not directly related to the pirate code.68.197.131.187 23:08, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

message: And if not, what does it mean?
:"If any time we shall meet another Marooner that Man shall sign his Articles without the Consent of our Company, shall suffer such Punishment as the Captain and Company shall think fit." -- 85.177.62.204 (talk) 00:37, 13 June 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Is this sentence damaged by copy & paste? 

message: Can anyone ascertain the sources of the given articles?  Some of it seems to be the original text used by the pirates, but some of it is written in the past tense and/or third person.  Even so, the latter still uses some outdated language.  I am hoping someone can clear this up.  MagnesianPhoenix (talk) 02:13, 13 June 2008 (UTC)
