Admittedly, I can't advise much on articles about articles about how titles and ships are. My knowledge only goes as far as the movies, several reference books, and other external sources. But I do know we take pride in making sure that the majority of this Wiki's content comes from some POTC source. But regarding historical info, we do take history into account unless if any POTC material contradicts it. For instance, as you may know, Blackbeard died in 1718 but OST was confirmed to take place in 1750(or at least in the range of the 1750s). Groves has the title "Lieutenant Commander" - a title which didn't exist until 1862.

As far as I know, the only time a page won't have many references is either a "Notes and references" section isn't included or - as per our guidelines for sourcing - if the subject in question only appears in one appearance or source. An example of that would be most of our introduced characters, locations, etc that only appear in The Price of Freedom. The only exception would be is if there is another available source, like an online source(ex. the Society Lady; she literally only appears in OST, but is mentioned in a website, which provided useful and reliable information for our article.
