Talk:Jack Sparrow

Additions I'm too Scared to make

The page should be edited to show that the Third installment of this quasi-trilogy is called 'Pirates of the Caribbean: World's End'.

And you're "too scared" to do that? Sorry, I'm rather lost there.—♦♦ SʘʘTHING^(Я) 15:10, 5 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

young reader books

Sparrows past is gonna be filled in in a series of young reader books, two of which are out in Wal-Mart already. Could someone read them and put th info in? Thank Ye,

I have just added an overview of the books i have read to the page. I see them as revelavent to the character.

With respect, I've redone the paragraph and included the reference. This is the sort of thing, though, that needs some dispatch; the level of detail approached fancruft, to be honest. RadioKirk (u|t|c) 14:28, 6 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Black Pearl

Sorry to keep commenting, but whay does Black Pearl redirect to the first movie? Shouldn't we make an article about the ship? Jack Sparra 11:51, 8 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Well following text was reverted.

The first film also offers homosexual overtones to Character of Sparrow in three scenes: When he tells a pirate that he always like him; When he tells Commodore Norrington that, Sparrow always rooted for him; When he tells Elizabeth Swann that they could have never made it.

I wrote above lines, but someone reverted, not sure if he saw the movie. I like the movie, but not this part. Chirag 02:31, 23 June 2006 (UTC) Probably that's why it was not rated G or PG. Chirag 02:31, 23 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The text was reverted for several reasons; first, it's your analysis and is therefore original research—for such a subjective analysis to survive inclusion into an encyclopedia, it would have to be the opinion of a recognized expert in the field, such as a well-known film critic, and would require citation. Second, the analysis was not presented in a way that asserts its notability for inclusion. Third, its veracity is arguable: the first instance might present to another viewer an example of Sparrow's charming nature in an effort to win over an opponent; the second, the same; the third, a playful dig at Will Turner. It's all entirely subjective; repeated references to eunuchs, for example, could support your analysis, but the spurned women on Tortuga and Sparrow's time alone with Elizabeth on the island would argue against it. While such a passage would be fine for a fan page or a message board, it fails in an encyclopedia. Feel free to read up on what Wikipedia is not, and happy editing!

Well, I am not an expert, neither a critic of the movie. But Spurned women on Tortuga do support my argument. Would rather wait to see the part 2, to seek more support for the argument. The talk page may keep the arguments alive for other readers to add on to. Chirag 05:15, 23 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure why you picked the third (and most subjective) of three points for your reply (and the Tortuga scene clearly implies he was unfaithful to the women via other women) as the first and second points determine what survives scrutiny in an encyclopedia. If you haven't already, may I recommend reading WP:NOR and WP:N, and also WP:V. :) RadioKirk (u|t|c) 12:59, 23 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Quite right. If he was a homosexual, why would the Turtuga girls, who were most likely prostitutes, be jealous of him speaking to another lady? Soryy, but the gay Sparrow theory just doesn't hold water. Jack Sparra 14:17, 25 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Speaking as someone who's seen the second film, it's pretty obvious Jack's not gay. Sorry Chirag, but it debunks yer theory quite thouroughly. --203.45.29.221 13:42, 6 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Well, at the very least, Sparrow's actor likes to think the character's gay. So, while he may not be intentionally "gay" in the script, it would perhaps be fair to cite that as an influence in Depp's portrayal.: http://in.news.yahoo.com/060629/139/65he2.html --

Only if Depp's said so in an interview and it's properly cited (and, I think we all know The Sun's reputation); otherwise, it's speculation (or tabloid fodder). RadioKirk (u|t|c) 00:37, 9 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Let me make this clear....

When writing Captain Jack Sparrow's name you can't just say Jack Sparrow it has to be Captain Jack Sparrow. He always goes by that and he perfers to go by it. I'll put somthing in the article about this--Scott3 01:22, 10 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
