Talk:Piracy

Serbs or Narentines?

Serbs were given the land of Pagania between Croatian Dalmatia and Zachlumia in the first half of the 7th century.

I think it is not correct to link Narentine pirates with Serbian nation in the seventh century - it is to early to talk about Serbs in this area at all for their nucleus was Raska which lies more northeast. This provinces were then inhabited by Narentines and their teritory was among the so called 'Sclavinias', small independent principalities which were later united in larger kingdoms.

Narentine piracy traditions were cherished even while they were in Serbia, serving as the finest Serb warriors.

And this part is obviously written by some who doesn't understand historical circumstances of that time. Pagania, teritory of Narentines was most of the time independant from Serbia or Croatia, later Croatia-Hungary, and no one can speak of serbian warriors or serbian identity of that country, i don't know what is the intention but this simply isn't correct.

That was probably writen by some Serb, they are trying to make themselves far more important than they were, nothing new here.

Pakistan's support to piracy

The material evidence of support to Somali pirates by Pakistan has come to light. There need to be a section to describe the support of state to pirates and piracy.Flyingalbatross (talk) 02:27, 27 August 2011 (UTC)

The source doesn't support that the state of Pakistan is involved in this.TMCk (talk) 14:42, 27 August 2011 (UTC)

Religion

I think there should be something about pirates and religion here. Pirates are very important to the religion of Pastafarianism. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 168.156.99.101 (talk) 18:49, 1 November 2011 (UTC)

Not an editor

I'm not an editor, but the lines "Many nations forbid ships to enter their territorial waters or ports if the crew of the ships are armed, in an effort to restrict possible piracy.[68] Shipping companies sometimes hire private armed security guards." are horribly incorrect. The [68] links to an article that doesn't say anything remotely like what its citing indicates. Also, the second sentence doesn't cite and should. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 155.33.131.222 (talk) 14:01, 5 December 2011 (UTC)
