Review section
[edit]As I noted on the article's talk page, I do not believe that a lot of the sourcing in this early (2007) FA promotion meets the current standards. Hog Farm Talk 01:50, 19 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
- Having made Stede Bonnet a little healthier a while back, I'd like to have a swing here as well, but I do note that the sourcing here appears to be far worse. Pickersgill-Cunliffe (talk) 02:50, 19 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
- Just cleaned up some of the Further Reading entries. As far as the References, many of them are appropriate and reliable, generally historically accurate. But there are plenty that need to be sourced elsewhere, mainly the older websites: Chronofus, PortCities, ThePirateKing, PiratesInfo, etc. Some of the references to Ellms, Pyle, etc. also need to go, as they're just repeating text from Johnson's General History of the Pirates, which is itself historically important but not entirely reliable.

- Could we get an update on status here? Nikkimaria (talk) 15:23, 14 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
- I think we'd better go ahead and Move to FARC for now - the referencing just isn't up to the modern standards and would take a fair bit of work to get there. Hog Farm Talk 17:48, 27 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
- Unfortunately I don't have the time to look into this in the near future. A lot of work would be needed. I agree that in its current state this article should not continue to be an FA. Pickersgill-Cunliffe (talk) 16:57, 11 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
