Talk:Piracy

Tilcayo Cats Original: editorial record

Local assessment: Start-Class. This is an initial Tilcayo editorial assessment, not a Wikipedia award or an independent audit.

Start-Class structural introduction: definition, distinctions, a bounded Atlantic overview and source-literacy context. Museum history sources directly inspected. Not B-Class: global historical development and modern maritime piracy are not yet adequately covered. This is a general historical explanation, not a statement of the technical scope of any present-day criminal law. No graphic punishment details or romantic claims.

Original prose written from the references on the article; sources reviewed on 9 October 2026. Wikipedia's requested-articles list supplied research leads, not article prose. Role in this batch: structural overview. No claim that the literature is exhausted.
