Congrats and suggestions
Nice work on Pirate City, definitely a novel we should have an article about. Great work overall, only took me a few minutes to clean up. A few suggestions for future articles to make it even easier:


 * Please don't use the "/br" tag for empty lines, just skip a line and it'll work just as well
 * When making a section, use the "==Section==" (double-equals) coding first, and only use "===Sub-section===" (three equals signs) for a sub-section
 * Leave one empty line between paragraphs, one empty line at the end of a section, and no empty lines between the section title and first paragraph of the section.

Those are minor formatting things, but one larger issue:
 * You had a lot of info about the author and publisher on the page, as well as a historical painting of a related event. To prevent clutter, we strongly suggest keeping the article very specifically on the subject, and anyone wanting to read about Ballentyne or Algiers can simply click on those terms to go to that topic's own page. The only images on the Pirate City article should be images of the cover or contents of the book, whereas an image of Ballentyne belongs on his own page.
 * If you want to add any images out of the book, you can upload them to WikimediaCommons provided they're from an edition prior to 1923 (copyright cutoff). For the cover I added, I couldn't be sure of the date so I uploaded it under the more limited "Fair Use". For Fair Use you don't go to Commons, but just click the "upload file" button in the left margin of Wikipedia. There you can upload, and click the options saying "this is a copyrighted item, which I'm using in a very limited legal context for the purposes of description".

Hope this helps, great work! MatthewVanitas (talk) 21:13, 25 May 2014 (UTC)
