Well, lets say that some games based on the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise have been released. They have not sold a lot, or being critically acclaimed, but who cares? Their list will be featured :D — ΛΧΣ²¹  — Statυs (talk, contribs) 05:40, 14 July 2013 (UTC)

I made a very minor copy-edit to the lead, but I have a couple of questions about it.

1. Why is the first game skipped in the lead? The first sentence tells us what PotC is, then the second tells us that it gained its popularity from the films, then the next sentence skips the first game and talks about the second game.
   1. EditorE fixed this and I copy-edited it. --JDC808 ♫ 01:23, 17 July 2013 (UTC)
2. Why is Disney Infinity included here? There is PotC characters and a playset for it, but it's not a standalone PotC game. This also applies to the list part of this article. I don't really know much about this game, but I feel that I could make the argument that since Infinity is being included here, couldn't Kingdom Hearts II be as well? (I'm not saying to include KH2, just that the argument could be made).

   EditorE also fixed this in regards to the lead, but not the list. --JDC808 ♫ 01:23, 17 July 2013 (UTC)

   The premise states that they are "video games focused on the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise". Pirates is a major focus of Infinity, while Hearts is not – it's a very small part of it.  — Statυs (talk, contribs) 04:00, 23 July 2013 (UTC)

   I'm still not in agreeance that it should be included, especially when Infinity's article doesn't make much mention of Pirates other than there being a playset and 3 characters. Of course more info will come later, but at its (Infinity's) current state, it's a bit confusing why it's included here and also the fact that this is called "List of Pirates of the Caribbean video games". --JDC808 ♫ 07:23, 23 July 2013 (UTC)

   I still do not agree, but I think this is a good compromise.  — Statυs (talk, contribs) 04:04, 29 July 2013 (UTC)

   Okay, sounds good. I posted at Hahc21's talk page saying if it is kept, or now readded, there should be a mention for why it's included (since Pirates is not in its name and could be confusing to someone for why it's included). --JDC808 ♫ 19:46, 30 July 2013 (UTC)

3. In regards to the list, although it was cancelled, shouldn't Armada of the Damned be before Lego? --JDC808 ♫ 08:16, 15 July 2013 (UTC)

   I'll fix the rest soon. I've been very sick this week and thus have reduced my wiki editing a bit. Sorry. Cheers. — ΛΧΣ²¹ 05:14, 19 July 2013 (UTC)

• The para in the section should be moved into the intro, and the section renamed to "List". Nergaal (talk) 19:30, 15 July 2013 (UTC)
  • No. Not standard. — ΛΧΣ²¹ 23:05, 24 July 2013 (UTC)

After this has been resolved, I would be happy to support! SoapFan12 11:43, 21 July 2013 (UTC)

Although nice, not a requirement for FLC. So there's nothing needing "resolving".  — Statυs (talk, contribs) 16:33, 21 July 2013 (UTC)

Okay. Support : Good job on meeting every single criteria for FLC! SoapFan12 16:50, 21 July 2013 (UTC)

Thank you again, Soap :) — ΛΧΣ²¹ 18:53, 21 July 2013 (UTC)

Resolved comments from Crisco 1492 (talk)

Comments from Crisco the release of a list - A list wasn't released, games were. the events of the second film. - Link the film? follows the same story explored in the sequels, and includes new characters and missions. - same story in two films or just one? Where's your "brief overview in a footnote" of Master of the Seas? — Crisco 1492 (talk) 08:47, 24 July 2013 (UTC) I did a copy-edit which fixed your first three points. --JDC808 ♫ 20:12, 24 July 2013 (UTC) Omg thank you. I haven't felt like editing these days. Thank god I have help :) — ΛΧΣ21 22:22, 24 July 2013 (UTC) Looks good. Just comment number four which needs dealing with. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 22:52, 24 July 2013 (UTC) Aah, I decided to remove that. I wasn't able to find anything substantial about Master of the Seas to write a short overview. Cheers. — ΛΧΣ21 23:04, 24 July 2013 (UTC)

• Support on prose. Very good job, Hahc — Crisco 1492 (talk) 00:37, 26 July 2013 (UTC)

  Thanks! — ΛΧΣ²¹ 01:17, 26 July 2013 (UTC)

Resolved comments from The Rambling Man (talk) 11:20, 25 August 2013 (UTC)

Comments You may consider linking ride attraction, particularly as this is about video games, a little bit confusing (potentially). Fixed. Can you put a date on that original ride? And maybe even say "by Walt Disney himself" so it's clear you're talking about the man. Fixed. "several adventures of Captain Jack Sparrow after" I don't see an urgent need to repeat Captain Jack here. Fixed. "At World's End followed" again, potential for confusion here, the last italicised item in the previous sentence was a movie, this a game.... Just a tweaky reword to alleviate any potential confusion. Fixed. Is this written in USEng or BritEng? If the former, I thought canceled had just one L. I prefer using the double-elled version, but changed it. One of your Windows links to Microsoft Windows, the others just to Windows. It's redirected, but while you're editing some of the above, you could just tweak that. Similarly PSP. Fixed. Ref 6, avoid SHOUTING. Done. Do you need Category:Video games about pirates as Category:Pirates of the Caribbean video games is more refined. Added the latter, but kept the former. The Rambling Man (talk) 13:47, 9 August 2013 (UTC) I will take care of this tonight. Cheers. — ΛΧΣ21 15:41, 15 August 2013 (UTC)
