International Talk like a Pirate Day - 19th September

Very interesting as to the important of the project - linguistically speaking

The relevance of works cited is also of relevance to this project

1881 Dictionary of the Vulgar Tongue by Francis Grose - http://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/5402

Definitely things to consider to add to this quiet project - the derivatives of the idea of the pirate and the language used... JarrahTree 05:02, 19 September 2019 (UTC)

Notably the Misplaced Pages article about Grose neglects the relevant importance of his text -

Early lexicographer Captain Francis Grose’s Dictionary of the Vulgar Tongue groans with 18th century nautical gems like “shipshape” (orderly), “junk” (pieces of old rope and, later, “pieces of salted pork”), and lashings of terms for food and drink — “belly timber”, “slush and tack” (food), “grub-spoiler” (cook), “flash the hash” (to vomit), “grog” (rum and water), “sluice the gob” (to drink) are some of the success stories.

Request for information on WP1.0 web tool

Hello and greetings from the maintainers of the WP 1.0 Bot! As you may or may not know, we are currently involved in an overhaul of the bot, in order to make it more modern and maintainable. As part of this process, we will be rewriting the web tool that is part of the project. You might have noticed this tool if you click through the links on the project assessment summary tables.

We'd like to collect information on how the current tool is used by....you! How do you yourself and the other maintainers of your project use the web tool? Which of its features do you need? How frequently do you use these features? And what features is the tool missing that would be useful to you? We have collected all of these questions at this Google form where you can leave your response. Walkerma (talk) 04:24, 27 October 2019 (UTC)

Improved some pages

I'm not sure how active this place is anymore, but I thought I'd post here that I've done some long-overdue changes to pages like Air pirate, Space pirate, List of space pirates, and List of fictional pirates. I was planning to tackle the Pirates in the arts and popular culture page next. That's all! It's time for some piracy! Historyday01 (talk) 04:07, 25 November 2020 (UTC)
