sourced but dead wrong
The articles claims that crossbones is based Woodard's book. While it is true that Woodard was afaik working as advisor/consultant the completely fictious plot of crossbones has practically nothing to do with Woodard's (nonfiction) book (other than Blackbeard appearing in both).--Kmhkmh (talk) 06:30, 5 June 2017 (UTC)

Puff piece or encyclopedia bio?
For one thing Woodward isn't a "historian". He's a journalist who writes pop history books that have had about zero impact on academic history. Writing a book about history does not automatically confer one with the title of "historian". Jonathan f1 (talk) 19:10, 11 May 2023 (UTC)
 * "Historian" was added just in January (without discussion). I don't see him described that way by sources so I've reverted it to the original wording. Schazjmd   (talk)  19:51, 11 May 2023 (UTC)
