Talk:Pirate code

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)

I agree somewhat with that, except the fact that Articles of Piracy and Pirate Articles are also related to official memoradums and laws passed regarding Piracy, maybe another title would be apropriate?--Sharz 12:32, 11 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

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.

Merging pages

I would advocate keeping two separate pages, with Pirate code of the Brethren being devoted to the fictional code of Pirates of the Caribbean, and the historical pirate articles being moved over to, and integrated with, the Articles of Agreement page. The current arrangement of referring to real articles by a fictional name is awkward and potentially confusing. Pirate Dan 13:38, 26 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
