I think there should be a seperate page for the Pirates of the Caribbean film trilogy. Like the page for the entire franchise, this new page should feature links to the three main articles about the movies, but provide quick descriptions about each one and maybe have some quick descriptions for the games based on the films with links to the main articles as well.

What happened? This section is wildly inaccurate:
The attraction did not premiere at the World's Fair—its first incarnation was the 1967 version at Disneyland. The four pavilions Disney created for the fair (it's a small world, Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln, The Magic Skyway and Carousel of Progress) ushered in technological advances that later were applied to the then-in-development pirate attraction. It's also a stretch to say the attraction's pirates "interact" with riders. —Whoville 01:21, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
According to Wikipedia:WikiProject Disneyland this article had an attraction infobox in it. In fact, Pirate's infobox was used as the template for other attractions. However, I didn't find it in the article, so I put it in. Disneyfile 22:24, 4 October 2006 (UTC)

Just a note - the name of the team participating in the race was The Pirates of the Caribbean. The name of their boat; however, was The Black Pearl. This has just been changed.
I tried editing this page so that it was in a bit more of an academic voice and more accurate than simply repeating the phrase "and others." This has since been largely reversed. This article could use a crackdown.24.8.20.66 04:08, 30 May 2007 (UTC)
Image:NES AiTMK - Pirates.png is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

"Another video game..." "Another video game..." "Another video game..." That section could be reformatted or taken out entirely, especially since PotC video games have their own article.Perhaps it canbe replaced with "To date, X video games have beenreleased on Y systems, including blah blah blah." - 66.173.194.212 (talk) 02:46, 6 January 2008 (UTC)
After viewing all the vandalism done to this page I am requesting semi-protection, seen here. The Vandal Warrior (talk) 22:36, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
from what? the second and third movies sucked.--69.255.19.33 (talk) 06:58, 11 July 2008 (UTC)
Variations of the following contribution have been added under the heading Games at least seven six times in the past two days by multiple IP addresses, all presumably the same person:
My feeling is that it's spam and doesn't belong in the article, and certainly not as its second paragraph as seen here. Plus, the linked content appears to be written in Hungarian so it makes little sense to include it in the English-language Wikipedia. It appears to be a promotion related to the movie DVDs.
I've reverted the addition numerous times and while the editor has made no other contributions to Wikipedia and does not use edit summaries or talk pages, I won't be surprised if eventually I'm challenged under WP:3RR. I'd appreciate the perspectives of other editors since I expect the same material to continue to be reinserted again and again after it's removed. —Whoville (talk) 13:06, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
The sentence doesn't even make sense, and the site is a fan site. en.wikipedia.org is for English entries, there is no point of it being here. --blm07 21:39, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides was not filmed in IMAX. It has been remastered to IMAX. IMAX screens are usually larger which makes the blurry transfer more obvious. If you don't mind the blur then have fun. If you would rather see what the director intended--go with the 3D option and don't pay extra for IMAX tickets unless the movie was originally filmed in IMAX format.
When I first updated this wiki it was pointed out to me that this is more of a topic for discussion, that it should be posted here, and I think that is reasonable. What is relevant and appropriate to have posted in the wiki is the film format and if the film was modified. 29 May 2011. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.39.1.227 (talk) 14:06, 29 May 2011 (UTC)
I wish this page would give me more information about how the franchise evolved. It says the franchise started with the theme park and is now worth billion dollars. But still, I'm curious about the history of this theme park attraction that became a modern Hollywood franchise fifty years later.
The article should contain more prose. It's a weird recentism, for instance, how quick it jumps to the Video Game series. It's an article about something that has been around for half a century but totally devoted to the last few years. --damiens.rf 22:50, 10 June 2011 (UTC)
Something should be added about this:
Ron Gilbert got much of his ideas for the Monkey Island computer games from the Pirates of the Caribbean ride. He has told so in several interviews. The story and humour in the movies are also very similar to that in the games.

Why the PotC comics is not mentioned here? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 59.161.181.208 (talk) 13:25, 9 July 2012 (UTC)
If somebody could give me an answer to this question I would be grateful. Where does the title "The Lost Abyss" come from? When and where was it originally published? Thanks in advance. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pendio (talk • contribs) 15:30, 19 August 2012 (UTC)
This is a very horrible film
Like the film Pirates of the Caribbean. Spain's Caribbean without Spanish Galeones? WTF? Pirates belong English Royal Navy! *Sir* Arthur Drake was a pirate!! Just another f**** film rewriting History — Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.83.137.184 (talk) 01:11, 28 January 2013 (UTC)
Pirates of the Caribbean series listing at the Internet Speculative Fiction Database shows four more novels, three tagged "novelization" (Trimble 2003, Trimble 2006, Ponti 2011) and one not so tagged (Sutherland, 2007). And three German-language novelizations (Hohlbein, 2006 and 2007). Judging by the titles I infer that those 7 listings are straight novelizations of the first four films in English and the first three in German.
And it shows The Tale of Billy Turner and other stories, of which it classes Billy Turner itself a novel (based on word-count, i understand). In the main listing [1], the five "other stories" immediately follow Billy Turner.
Among the 12 numbered Jack Sparrow volumes ISFDB identifies author Rob Kidd as Liz Braswell for five of them, with seven "unknown". That may be secret or speculative, afaik. We don't mention it at Liz Braswell, nor Library of Congress Authorities [2].
