Pirate Lords
Where is Davy Jones specifically refered to as "Lord of the Underworld"? If it's not an actual title, it shouldn't be added. Also, there's no need to go into too much detail on that page; leave it for the main articles themselves - Kwenn 16:06, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

Images
When you upload new images, I'd rather you didn't simply replace one image with another; try to find another place for the image to go, or else announce your intended replacement on the talk page - it means that images will become orphaned and difficult to locate at a later date. If you're replacing an image with a better quality version of that image, simply use the "upload a new version of this image" command on the existing image's page, and save it under the same filename. Thanks - \\Captain Kwenn// &mdash; Ahoy! 17:04, 19 June 2007 (UTC)
 * no problem sorry.
 * Also, if you could add relevant information to image pages, as I've done with your recent uploads, as well as add them to any galleries currently up, it would be most appreciated - \\Captain Kwenn// &mdash; Ahoy! 17:03, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

HELLO!
hello KickAssJedi, im new to the wiki and just thought id say hi.62.56.118.194 20:52, 24 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Hi welcome to the wiki good to have new editors aboard.KickAssJedi 00:03, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

Re:Improvement Drive

 * I think we do. I'm not sure. If we don't, you could defintely start a forum discussing whether or not we need one. Also, I just wanted to make sure you know that just because I'm a Pirate Lord, that doesn't make me an administrator. I just have authority over the FA process, not the entire wiki.--Lord Cutler BeckettPort Royal 14:23, 14 August 2007 (UTC)
 * I couldnt find it on the special pages so ive started a discussion on the forum, Youre still damn good editor and I respect your opinion.-14:28, 14 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Why, thank you.--Lord Cutler BeckettPort Royal 14:34, 14 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Youre welcome oh ps I dont suposse you know anything about custom signitures do you.-KickAssJedi 14:37, 14 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Yes, I do. You go up to my preferences, go below nickname and click on raw signature. Then in the nickname box, you put in your signature (links, colours, images, etc.). I hope that helps.--Lord Cutler BeckettPort Royal 14:42, 14 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Thank you so much, ive been trying to find out how to do it for ages, you are an absolote genius.-KickAssJedi 14:47, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

Re:Davy Jones Image

 * I removed it because the content of the image made it incorrectly placed. It should be in the Capture of the Dead Man's Chest section, but there is no room for the image, becaues to place it there would make the page look cluttered. You can place it in Jones' gallery (if you haven't already), but an image of Jones on the Scuttled ship or on the Pearl afterwards should be in the place of that image, not one where Jones is of the coast of Isla Cruces.--Lord Cutler BeckettPort Royal 16:42, 18 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Ok sorry I didnt reaslise that the image was from that scene ill put it in the gallery and find the image you suggested to go in its place, also as an afterthought would you mind me replacing the davy jones image with the IGN logo as i feel that it probably shouldnt be there.--\\Captain KickAssJedi// 16:45, 18 August 2007 (UTC)
 * The IGN logo is not blatantly obvious, and I don't really think that it takes anything away from the article.--Lord Cutler BeckettPort Royal 16:47, 18 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Ok if your sure just trying to be helpfull, ill find that other image.--\\Captain KickAssJedi// 16:53, 18 August 2007 (UTC)

Re:Nomination

 * Well, we really judge whether someone should be nominated, and while I understand you might be anxious to be a part of it, it isn't advised that you try to get yourself nominated. It doesn't help those who look at the personal character of a user. Just continue the contributions, take an active part in the FA system, and we may consider you then. Also, if you make considerable contributions (i.e. taking a runt of an article, and then transforming it into something good) or if you make constant edits, like fixing up articles to make them grammatically correct and things of that nature, that will definitely raise you higher in the eyes of the Brethren. Just keep up the good work and be patient.--Lord Cutler BeckettPort Royal 18:54, 18 August 2007 (UTC)

ok, thank you for your time, please understand I wasnt trying to force my way into the brethren I thought id bring the subject up with you rather than kwenn because I felt he wouldnt be fair in the matter.--\\Captain KickAssJedi// 19:03, 18 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Well, Kwenn is pretty fair, in my opinion, though he might have said what I said in a more authoritive way, since he is an administrator. Administrators have their own distinct attitude, and some take that to extreme levels, but I don't think Kwenn would explode at people that way. Someone once asked for him to make them an administrator, and he treated them very cordially.--Lord Cutler BeckettPort Royal 19:50, 18 August 2007 (UTC)

What I meant is that he and I have a sketchy history, we have had content disputes in the past and he has used his position as an administrator to enforce his own view.--\\Captain KickAssJedi// 19:56, 18 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Hmm, well disagreements don't necassarily make people enemies. Also, Kwenn couldn't (and doesn't) use his power to enforce his personal views, it's against policy. Corrupt administrators can be removed from power, and so policy keeps rouges in line. But, fortunately, Kwenn doesn't fit that description; I don't know how to go about removing admins from power anyway. I'm sure Kwenn doesn't hold anything against you.--Lord Cutler BeckettPort Royal 20:04, 18 August 2007 (UTC)


 * Im not trying to make a complaint against Kwenn I certanately dont hold anything against him, im simply saying he has been unfair to me in the past and thats why i choose to discuus nominations with you rather than him.--\\Captain KickAssJedi// 20:14, 18 August 2007 (UTC)

Barbossa Image

 * Your image (for the sake of discussion I'll just call it Image 1) is not focused on Barbossa. The other image (Image 2) is. Also, we have images of Barbossa's living form, but not of him in full skeleton form. While it may be interesting to see him in between, Image 2's content is needed in the article.--Lord Cutler BeckettPort Royal 17:12, 20 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Sorry I disapered then (bloody flatmates) right down to buisness as far as image one is concerned barboosa is the only person in the shot and so the reader is focused on him, as ive already said the image is of considerably better quality, he is more skeleton than flesh and again as ive said i think it looks better like that, furthamore the image weve currently got in the Duel with Jack Sparrow section is very dark and not of great quality so if necesery we could replace that one with one of him as a full skeleton. So any thoughts if your still online.--\\Captain KickAssJedi// 20:19, 20 August 2007 (UTC)
 * By not focused I meant that Image 1 has alot of background in it, whereas in Image 2 Barbossa fills up the whole thing. Also, as I said. We need a image with Barbossa in complete skeleton form, not half and half.--Lord Cutler BeckettPort Royal 20:44, 20 August 2007 (UTC)
 * But a backround is not really a bad thing nearly all the images have them, and as ive said an image of barbossa as a full skeleton can easily be found and used to replace the duel with jack sparrow image which is of exeptionaly poor quality.--\\Captain KickAssJedi// 21:10, 20 August 2007 (UTC)
 * That's not what I'm talking about. There is too much background in Image 1 as opposed to Image 2. There is nothing wrong with Image 2 other than being somewhat unclear (somewhat mind you). I don't want an image of Barobossa's whole body as a skeleton, just his face.--Lord Cutler BeckettPort Royal 23:31, 20 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Ok im going to let it go, theres no sense arguing over something so trivial, good night.--\\Captain KickAssJedi// 23:46, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

Adminship
Hello. I think this community is large enough to make decisions about who should be an admin, so I suggest you set up a requests for adminship page here and nominate yourself. Kwenn can then make you an admin if there is community agreement on that. Angela (talk) 14:28, 25 August 2007 (UTC)


 * Novajoe23 is also active now. I suggest you ask another user here to nominate you at project:Requests for adminship. Angela (talk) 09:26, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Ok thank you for your help.--\\Captain KickAssJedi// 17:49, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

PotC game
Why are you classing all articles relating to the PotC game as non-canon? You agreed that it was canon on the talk page - Captain Kwenn – Talk 19:17, 9 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Oh I agree its canon. but I thought are official stance on it was non-canon, because Nat Hawk and all the main game related articles are classed as such.--\\Captain KAJ// 20:07, 9 October 2007 (UTC)
 * No, that was the point of the discussion: they had been tagged as non-canon, when, AFAIK, there has been no official word on the game's canocity. Since there's no real contradictions in the game (save for the Black Pearl, which is essentially an easter egg) there's no reason why it should be classed as non-canon - Captain Kwenn – Talk 22:06, 9 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Ok its fine, do you want me to remove the tags? If so it may have to wait until sometime tommorow as ive got collage in 6 hours and im really tired.--\\Captain KAJ// 23:31, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

Neither is correct?
The information that I have submitted on the Pieces of Eight is inaccurate? I'd be very surprised...so says my "mystery canon source" the likes of which are unbeknownst to other folks, but knownst to me. I promise you though, I did *not* make that up.--ScungiliGuy 02:27, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

Permit me to clarify
But before I do, I would like to make the presence of a couple of things known:


 * I'm no vandal and wouldn't dream of it. Ever.


 * you can't threaten to report someone on a Wiki; if you do, it'll only make you as bad as them!


 * think it over; why would I, someone who's made the effort to contribute so many things here, suddenly take to vandalising things? It's not good business.

And by the way, no, I have made nothing up (did you not see my profile; I swore that I would never vandalise!), none of my information is fanon but rather unsubstantiated, and my source is not able to be cited because I can't describe where it came from and don't even have it with me.

I see that you didn't believe me when I submit that information, it is a pity, but please don't come to a hasty conclusion of me being some evil vandal or something of the like.

And finally, I'm sorry, but I hope that you'll soon understand. I can't cite anything for esoteric reasons.--ScungiliGuy 03:40, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

Listen, I ask. Believe it or don't, but hear me out first.
I must be honest, I know that it seems as though I'm lying (I'm not, and I swear on my oath), but I have not made anything up. To be perfectly frank, I can see why you would think me a vandal, but I can promise you that I have nothing but the best machinations for this database. And think it over again, why would I have tried before this little fracas to submit purely canon information and suddenly turn to vandalism? I may not be as influential on here as Kwenn or Beckett, but why then, would I be a prime suspect of anything? I created pages on here, uploaded images, and proposed templates ideas, and now vandalism? That doesn't make sense when you come right down to it. At least, I can't explain that from an outsider's view.

And as per the current troubles, forgive me but I just cannot source what I am saying, or rather, not properly because though I know what my source is and have visited it not but a few days before, I cannot give it.

I am certain that it is canon; I can say that this was not a book, not a game, and it was no website either.

One last thing, my suggestion is to give it all a trial; the DVD will come out in December and during the span of that time up to now, I will not even click the mouse in the general direction of the pages which you've accused me of falsifying. At least wait until we have undeniable proof.

I mean, can you accurately cite anything that you've already got on here regarding the Pieces of Eight based on what you can see alone? I can't, but then you can't either. It may look like an animal horn, but it could also be a snuff-box like the one shown here http://www.usna.edu/Users/huymss/bwheeler/images/snuff_box.jpg] with simply a different shape. And I'm sorry, my source said "dongle or dingle" for the other Piece of Eight. Perhaps I read wrong, but no vandalism, that I promise you.

So to make the long story short (too late), I suggest we leave complaints to Kwenn and the threat of blockades out of this, we not edit the pages with the information that I have just now, we wait until the DVD comes out, and cite it then. But I assure you that nothing I've given is fabricated and soon you'll see that I'm right.

--ScungiliGuy 16:31, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

Well, then.
Thank you for understanding what I've said, but also understand that I would be more than willing to cite if I could, but I cannot (as I say, the reasons are esoteric), so I will not. At any rate, you cannot deny that it *did* look rather like a snuff box and sounded hollow like one, too (it made a hollow sound when it hit the case, if you'll recall). Nevertheless, we don't yet know that it is a snuff box, a bone, or even a pill case of some kind.

Even worse is that though my source is canon as the days are long, it shows me things that I found completely confusing (perhaps things not yet revealed!): Mistress Ching's Piece of Eight was said on there to be a fishing line with hooks and it did look like one at in the pictures there! Perhaps this source has not been updated. With that, it also gave the me the names of the ships (here's what I recall):
 * Gentleman Jocard's ship was the "Revenge".

and that's about all I recall; I don't recall what the others were spelled as, but they were foreign-sounding names.

Let's say this: we should leave the unverified things what I contributed and have yet to divulge out of the articles and we can also say that the DVD will be here soon and with it, sources. Is that reasonable? --ScungiliGuy 18:38, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

Hmm, when you put it *that* way...
It may have simply been behind the times. The guys what designed it may have simply misplaced information, but we'll soon see.--ScungiliGuy 01:08, 19 October 2007 (UTC)

Sign

 * With all due respect, I request (and suggest) you take that sign down on your front page. It is misleading and it makes it seems as if you have some official function on this wiki other than a regular contributor. I would suggest you keep away from such templates, and use some that actually serve a purpose. It really is misleading, and though I can't force you to do anything, I am asking you, politely, to take the sign down for the sake of any anons and new contributors. If you would like to keep it however, you can easliy convert it into a userbox, which is far more preferable.--Lord Cutler BeckettPort Royal 09:46, 21 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Well, it now looks like the Blocked and Banned templates, but those are rarely used anyway. Thank you, though, there shouldn't be any confusion now.--Lord Cutler BeckettPort Royal 10:21, 21 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Assuming that's a question, no, I did not.--Lord Cutler BeckettPort Royal 10:30, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

FA noms

 * Don't forget to check out the FA nom page. We need your votes!!--Brethren Court

RE:Adminship

 * Unfortunately, I have not contributed here for six months. Besides that, I am not sure I'd like to be an administrator. It just isn't that appealing. I appreciate the gesture though.--Lord Cutler BeckettPort Royal 14:23, 21 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Sorry, I don't. Besides, we don't need one that badly. Vandals are that bad of a problem. Ask Kwenn about it when he returns.--Lord Cutler BeckettPort Royal 16:06, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

RE:Edward!

 * Well, we need a solid source, and while the Official Game guide says Villanueva's first name is "Eduardo", it makes no mention of Teague's first name. As far as I'm concerned, "Edward" Teague is fanon.--Lord Cutler BeckettPort Royal 21:53, 23 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Why would I have the game guide and not the game? While I have not played the NextGen versions, I have played the regular console versions. I rarely play as Teague, but I'm guessing that if he said his name, it would be in the guide. People are just mixing up Edward Teach with "Edward" Teague.--Lord Cutler BeckettPort Royal 19:04, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Well, until we get an official source, Teague will remain Teague.--Lord Cutler BeckettPort Royal 19:40, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

Royal Navy Flag

 * Please provide a source for the Royal Navy Flag you recently uploaded. As it stands, it looks very fan-made. If you can, provide one of higher quality.--Lord Cutler BeckettPort Royal 23:38, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Please provide a source, it looks fan-made, and if no source is provided soon, I'll have it deleted.--Lord Cutler BeckettPort Royal 13:28, 27 October 2007 (UTC)
 * I wasn't saying it was inaccurate, just that it was fan-made (like so many things on Wikipedia), and if that is the case it must be deleted.--Lord Cutler BeckettPort Royal 16:28, 27 October 2007 (UTC)

Random New Pages Guy

 * Thanks for your help with the New Pages anon, I trust you have it under control. But remember, give a reason for nominating a page for deletion, I know the reasons in this case are obvious, but it's standard procedure. To do so, simply put your reason . And remember to have it match with "This page blah, blah, blah because..." so that it'll read "This page...for deletion because 'it's unnessarcary, possibly fanon, etc.'". Once you have all this guy's new pages under wraps, I'll leave a message on his talk page and tell him to stop, and then ask Kwenn to delete the pages. If the anon doesn't stop, I'll ask Kwenn to block him. Thanks again.--Lord Cutler BeckettPort Royal 20:26, 27 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Sure, but I wouldn't call putting the tag on a few pages harsh. It was only necassary. Also, when adding a section to my talk page, please use 3 "===" instead of two. Keep up the good work.--Lord Cutler BeckettPort Royal 22:40, 27 October 2007 (UTC)
 * It appears that the anon is making pages for action figures, I'll tell him to put the information on one page, assuming he made a page for the collection. If you could go through his contributions and nominate these remaining pages for deletion, I'll ask Kwenn to go through and delete them.--Lord Cutler BeckettPort Royal 00:02, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

Restrictions change

 * You're right, we do need more admins to keep the peace. I have lowered the contributions limits from six to four months. If you ever decide to nominate me again, know that there's nothing standing in the way. I am still waiting for consent from Kwenn, but having explained the situation to him, I doubt he will have any qualms about the change.--Lord Cutler BeckettPort Royal 21:55, 29 October 2007 (UTC)
 * I see the first things as important, because Kwenn can't be here to deal with all of it. But at any rate, we'll see how things play out.--Lord Cutler BeckettPort Royal 13:12, 30 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Well, I'm currently more active than Kwenn; besides he can still recieve messages, I'm sure he's just working on another wiki. But now we don't need to wait for him to act, as I'll be able to react sooner, since I actively contribute here.--Lord Cutler BeckettPort Royal 21:50, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

Greetings matey
Arrgh greetings KickAssJedi my name is Drexyl and I've just climbed uboard this wiki. I intend to stick around here for some time so i thought the best place to start would be to introduce miself to as many of you scurvy sea dogs as possible, happy pilfering. - Drexyl 13:32, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

EITC Improvement Office

 * If you haven't seen the message at the top of your page, the EITC Improvement Office has just been opened. This new feature of the wiki will help us focus our efforts to raise articles to featured status! Come contribute, the sooner we get it up and running, the sooner we can start improving articles!--Lord Cutler BeckettPort Royal 19:49, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

Update

 * There was a IP address, who I believe was really the user Drexyl, although I have no solid proof, that blanked hundreds of pages to supposedly get back at me or something, which is why I think its Drexyl, the only one that would have a grudge against me. No doubt you missed that, you can see more of that on Drexyl's and my talk pages. I blocked him for being disruptive and insulting people, and he called me a bully and blah, blah, blah. Long story short he comes back with a new IP address (once again, just a theory) and starts blanking pages. Every time I blocked him he'd just come back and blank hundreds more, so I had to do an IP range block. Hopefully he's gone for good now; after blanking possibly hundreds upon hundreds of pages, all of which were reversed by El Chupabra and Wanderingshadow, and later (this morning) Cometstyles and Cavalier One. A big ordeal, yes, but hopefully it's over. For more on why the vandal did what he did, go to El Chupacabra's talk page. Any way, welcome back. I don't know if you've seen, but I've started up an improvement drive, called the EITC Improvement Office, and I have also started a forum to decide whether we should have a Image of the Week feature here. I look forward to returning back to business.--Lord Cutler BeckettPort Royal 21:21, 8 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Alright, well, good luck on that front. And don't forget to contribute to the EITC Improvement Office, the more people that contribute to it, the more efficiently it will run. I'm sure there are plenty of articles you think need improving; though, try to stick with one or two. If so, all nominations and votes would be appreciated.--Lord Cutler BeckettPort Royal 22:35, 8 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Of course, whenever you can get to it. I have, however, noticed your new ship articles. A few things: use 1st and 1stID for first appearance and first identified aspects of the appearance sections. For 1stID, remember to fill in the name as such: . Also, if you can get to it, please add the new ships to Ships. And lastly, also if you can get to it, add the ships to the respective characters' infoboxes and articles (the latter is optional, I could get around to doing it). I'll add in other information to the ships' infoboxes, such as number of cannons. Keep up the good work, and thank you for your valuable contributions.--Lord Cutler BeckettPort Royal 22:52, 8 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Interesting, I'll check it out.--Lord Cutler BeckettPort Royal 23:02, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

Re:

 * I trust Wanderingshadow knows what he's doing. I've also seen mention of the book on Wikipedia. I'd rather not delete something that may possibly be an actual product. We can't consider anything in the synopsis canon anyway, since the product hasn't been released. I wouldn't worry about it.--Lord Cutler BeckettPort Royal 19:51, 10 November 2007 (UTC)
 * I actually was talking in regards to Wanderingshadow considering it a possibly viable product. If the release date comes around, and its not out, then I'll get rid of it.--Lord Cutler BeckettPort Royal 01:18, 11 November 2007 (UTC)

The Images
I am impressed, so very impressed with the great quality of those images you've uploaded. Where you get them from, I don't know, but they're all something to behold. Keep it up!

And tell me, where did you find those images?


 * I also wish to know, as it just popped into my mind: were you at the premiere of the third film in California? I seem to recall the bowl filled with the Pieces of Eight behind glass in a display case, and it was in the exact position as is shown in your picture here; to most people, recalling which angle the bowl of displays is placed at is easily forgotten, but being at the premiere of AWE, and history in the making is not something you'd easily forget if you happen to be as big a trivia freak as I am.


 * The premiere, if you were there and can relate, was at five in the morning, at the El Capitan theatre.


 * And now, forgive the reminiscings of a sentimental old fool, because I just feel like citing this: It was a great day for me being able to attend the premiere, because never before, apart from Revenge of the Sith did I ever get to go to a big screening. I was overjoyed with this, then, and even got to dress up in my finest clothes for the occasion (a thick beige coat, argyle vest, and, being a freak with odd taste in clothes, a red bow-tie); pretty befitting of such a great day in my book.  It was at five in the morning, and me and me friends, having gone to sleep late and arisen early, unfortunately got there twenty minutes late, walking in squarely during the Singapore battle. It was then that my lack of sleep didn't matter in the slightest, because I got there and felt as wide awake as if someone had given me a two-litre of caffeine in an IV stand.  One of my friends was almost a big a fan, but not nearly as fanatical an enthusiast of the series as me, and of all people, I'd've expected him to be much more alert.  Me, I hung on the edge of my seat, despite missing the beginning, and listened with great interest to every word, laughing as gleefully at the jokes, being as moved by the sentiment, and wowed as much as the other fans.  When it was over, my friends made their way to go home, but I rushed them both over hurriedly to the displays of the movie props, making sure to miss nothing, and sadly forgetting my camera at home.  When I had my fill of the displays (I didn't miss anything) and left, (passing the enthusiasts outside the theatre singing their sea shanties), I made my way to go home.  It was all something to behold. (Reminiscing over)


 * I'm not so sure you cared to actually hear my tale but if you did stick around to read it and not pass it by, thanks. By the way, no, I'm no critic giving a review(I detest ALL film critics) and no reviewer of any kind; I make no profit experiencing this stuff, and earn nothing tangible from this.  I'm just a wowed fan.
