Wikipedia:WikiProject Piracy#Directory of Participants

Piracy related topics can be placed in a range of categories, ranging from specific (individual privateers, buccaneers, corsairs, etc.), to broad (regions and historical periods). The subjects include, but are not limited to:

• Historical periods:
• Piracy in the Ancient World (pre–1000)
• Piracy in the Middle Ages (1000–1500)
• Piracy on the Barbary Coast (1492–1595)
• The Spanish Main (1570–1650)
• The Buccaneering Era (1640–1690)
• The Golden Age of Piracy (1690–1730)
• Decline of Piracy (1730–1900)
• Modern (1900–present)
• Individual pirates (captains, sailors, victims, etc.)
• Pirate vessels (boats, ships)
• Pirate havens (Port Royal, Tortuga, etc.)
• Pirate culture (organizations, laws, customs, songs, etc.)
• Piracy in popular culture:
• Piracy in the Film and TV
• Piracy in Games
• Piracy in Literature

Inevitably there will be some overlap between piracy and privateering. We fully expect to cover many privateers in our articles. However, for a given privateer to be included in the project, he should have been at risk for execution or other punishment as a pirate if captured, whether because his targets' government did not recognize his letter of marque, or because he exceeded his commission and crossed the line into piracy.

Thus, for example, Henry Morgan and his crew would be within our purview, because their attack on Panama was not authorized by Morgan's letter of marque. The project probably also covers John Paul Jones, because Britain did not recognize the Continental Congress's right to grant letters of marque, and thus Jones would likely have faced trial and execution as a pirate had the British caught him. On the other hand, any Saint-Malo or Dunkirk corsair whose sole claim to fame is legally plundering Britain’s commerce during the Wars of the Grand Alliance or Spanish Succession would not be considered a pirate here, because Britain did not treat such privateers as pirates.

Copyright and trademark piracy is not part of this project. That topic is best covered by WikiProject Law.
