Including a 14th century Breton noblewoman and a Chinese bandit - which is scraping the barrel a bit - the total number of authenticated female pirates doesn't seem to run to double figures. Bonny and Read, OK, but in what way are they "significant" ? Boulet rouge ( talk) 16:32, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
If you look at List of pirates, we have done some extensive citing of sources for each person on the list, but it seem this list is heavily lacking citations. I'm going to add a {{fact}} tag to anyone on the list that does not have an article or cited source for the information. - Adolphus79 ( talk) 16:10, 30 July 2008 (UTC)
There's nothing verifying the accuracy of this source: http://www.costumefashions.com/Pirates/ElegantPirateLady.html - 222.154.238.36 ( talk) 04:46, 12 August 2008 (UTC)
There's no such thing as The Red Lady (Veronica). It has no sources and I know a friend posted it to impress a girl we know named Veronica. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.91.114.191 ( talk) 22:02, 25 November 2011 (UTC)
A couple of the entries have some quite long comments. I think you would be better off just having one or two lines max per entry. Some of them have most of a stub listed under there. Maybe take the longer entries, and make stubs out of them once you've gotten the sources under control... - Adolphus79 ( talk) 20:11, 1 August 2008 (UTC)
This section was just a warning that Alice Fish was not a historical pirate and that she should never have been listed on Wikipedia. That kind of thing is more appropriate for the discussion page. -- Otterfan ( talk) 20:33, 27 September 2008 (UTC)
The sister of Gustav Skytte, Anna Skytte, are described as being involved in his article; she knew about it and had one pirate murdered.-- 85.226.44.74 ( talk) 21:23, 23 January 2009 (UTC)
Elissa ("Dido"), the founder of Karthago (470 BC). I think she was truly wellknown. Mzo HH ( talk) 16:20, 21 September 2010 (UTC) mzo HH
This individual is apparently a garden variety smuggler, not a pirate.

I could edit this topic, but English is not my mother tongue. : ) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 189.33.77.139 ( talk) 12:42, 27 August 2011 (UTC)
Why doesn't this list have Ching Shih, who was one of the most successful female pirates of all time? She needs to be added in immediately! Asarelah ( talk) 18:22, 9 December 2011 (UTC)
Why is Aethelflaed of Mercia on this list. Taking "...command of the fleets to rid the seas of the Viking raiders." is not piracy. Mannanan51 ( talk) 04:03, 11 September 2012 (UTC)mannanan51
Elise Eskilsdotter should be included-- Aciram ( talk) 23:50, 6 February 2013 (UTC)
Is there any backing for this person actually originating outside of Wikipedia? I've been poking round the internet and every reference has almost the same wording, and is usually taken from this article. There's a brief mention in a fiction book called The Caretaker's Son, but that also looks suspiciously like it came from the Wikipedia article. ( 151.225.173.86 ( talk) 01:21, 7 April 2013 (UTC))
I was surprised to learn that the term for a female pirate was 'pirette'. In fact, I was so surprised, I decided to research the origins. I've pretty much drawn a blank. Near as I can tell the term is not only not widely acknowledged, it's barely used at all (certainly not in the project Gutenburg link seemingly relating to it). A quick Google search shows 52k results for 'pirette' and only 15k results for 'pirettes' (mostly relating to muppets characters). One of the only sources I can find for its use is...this article. Is there evidence that this term is used widely enough to be used here? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.222.123.38 ( talk) 22:15, 28 September 2014 (UTC)
