WikiProject Piracy To-do:

Here are some tasks you can do to help with WikiProject Piracy:

Requests: John Lopez (pirate), Lords of the Spanish Main, Benjamin Bennett (governor) (see What links here), Thomas Walker (pirate), Richard Bishop (pirate)
Expand: Charles Vane, Edward England, Emanuel Wynn, George Lowther, Pierre Le Grand, Roche Braziliano, Thomas Cocklyn, Woodes Rogers, Piracy in the Indian Ocean
Verify: Daniel Johnson (pirate), Henry Jennings, François l'Olonnais, Olivier Levasseur, Edward Davis (buccaneer)
Copyedit: Golden Age of Piracy
Images: MV Delight, MV Powerful,

Cleanup

Unnecessary repetitions, incoherence, conflicting/lacking definitions, informal language, info that applies to pirates in general rather than just buccaneers (and absence of clear explanations of how buccaneers differed from other pirates). Also, lack of historical details - how and why were they put down by England and France, for one thing (the last bit requires an "expand" template, but it's not time for that yet). --91.148.159.4 15:30, 9 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed. It also needs sources. I or some crewmates will be working on this, and I'm listing the article on Wikipedia:WikiProject Piracy as needing work. --Pirate Dan 15:31, 12 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
