[edit] WikiProject Piracy

[edit] Goals

This proposed WikiProject will attempt to improve the quality and general coverage of subjects relating to Piracy, especially its "Golden Age" (1690-1730), as well as the Sea Dog/Corsair (1580-1650) and Buccaneering (1640-1690) eras up to the less covered modern period. The project will also verify the notability of piracy related subjects, expand and revise existing articles, and writing specific contributions (either in collaberation or by a single author) to requested articles related to piracy.
