pirates

Split

This page is essentially a mess. Most of the sections have been expanded enough to allow separate articles again. In fact, I don't remember anyone agreeing on the merge in the first place. I don't see any reason to keep these subjects together -- yes, Wikipedia lumps many Pirates articles into one, but we should be expanding ours - Captain Kwenn – Talk 11:11, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

I think it's not too long. It is currently at place 27 in the long pages rating (with 8,770 bytes), so many pages (including Pirates of the Caribbean furniture, Timeline of Pirates of the Caribbean series and Pirates of the Caribbean Trading Card Game) are much longer. It should give a detailed account on all styles of swords, and i think that it is easier for the user to scroll on one page then to cange from one page to another (at least it's easier for me) and keeping it all as one article allowes us to have not so many categories. And if you think that the article is too long, then you may edit out the "superfluous" parts after I've finished my major edit. And don't forget that the article is not about characters or locations which are important to the plot or universe-specific but just gives background information, in this case it's more useful to have one page.

Wookieepedia and similar, highly detailed wikis, split every element into a separate article, including weapons -- which are just as important as anything else on this wiki. If we have some articles as separate (e.g. characters) then why not others? - Captain Kwenn – Talk 15:35, 4 October 2007 (UTC)
We have separate articles for all uneverse-specific content, but not for all background themes. (for which we have our Codex). This article (and it's sections) is obviously too large to be mergend into the codex, but as you see having sections instead of separate articles doesn't contradict to our policy. And Wookiepedia features articles on universe-specific weapons (Lightsabre and Star Destroyer doesn't exist in the real word but Cutless and Jian do), so they can't just give sone basic information and universe-related facts about the weapon and a link to the wikipedia page as this article do.

Captain Kwenn, on Wookiepedia, would you have a seperate page for every darn lightsaber ever made? The "Sword" page covers swords in general, just like Wookiepedia has only one "lightsaber" page. - Captain J. Sparrow

More pictures and quotes

Can anybody put appropriate images and quotes to all section? El Chupacabra 12:14, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

How about these new ones on the page now? - Captain J. Sparrow
Its a start but the images need reorganizing and pixilating.--\\Captain KAJ// 22:44, 23 October 2007 (UTC)
Most are good, but the one for the Hanger is bad, you don't see anything, The CBP promotional poster with Jack Sparrow holding his Hanger would be better. El Chupacabra 18:44, 26 October 2007 (UTC)
I'm on it. - Captain J. Sparrow
All right, can someone who is good at that do it? - Captain J. Sparrow
The picture of the Sword card in the PocketModel game would be perfect for the Jian section. Can somebody upload it? El Chupacabra 15:05, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

Keyblade

Do we really need that section?--UskokSea Queen, Nemesis 12:14, September 18, 2014 (UTC)

Hmm... perhaps, given it does appear in the POTC world, regardless on if Kingdom Hearts canonicity. Though perhaps made into a section about non-canon swords? -- CJSFanOn Stranger Tides, Arkham City 09:26, September 19, 2014 (UTC)

Cleanup, including above splitting

This is going by the above discussion, although I think they pretty much covered that with adding characters' weapons and such, some of which I believe I contributed myself. Now, however, I suggest a new course. Going by past discussion about Jack's sword/hanger, what say we expand the Sword article further with histories and such, at least in relevance to the overall PotC franchise. And also, create articles about weaponry that has appeared in more than one film. For instance, we have seen cutlasses in almost all films, whereas we probably never saw the smallswords or broadswords in all the films...and that's not even bringing up the books. It may be difficult due to not exactly having all the facts, but it's something I figured worth bringing up. -- CJSFanOn Stranger Tides, Arkham City 23:21, 6 March 2023 (UTC)

We could make articles on cutlasses, rapiers, broadswords, and smallswords, as all those have appeared in more than one POTC material. Hanger could have a subsection in "cutlass" article. As for this article, it definitely needs to be cleaned. There's too much modern info that doesn't belong in a POTC timeframe.--UskokViceroy of the Indies, Nemesis 21:54, 7 March 2023 (UTC)
Agreed. Even Wikipedia redirects the term "hanger" to "cutlass" so it wouldn't too much of a stretch. There's also the matter of including other swords related to our current plans. Captain Hook's sword and the Keyblade, for instance. Granted, it's a bit of a stretch, but hey, if Wookieepedia has articles about Soulcailbur. But I'm sure we'll figure it out when we get there. -- CJSFanOn Stranger Tides, Arkham City 23:02, 7 March 2023 (UTC)
