18th century to 18th-century

Would there be any objection to moving this article to Governance in 18th-century piracy? Since 18th and century are working together as a compound adjective before the noun piracy, it should be hyphenated. Governance in 18th century piracy would remain as a redirect to the new title. If there's a consensus, or at least no objection, I'll make the move in about a week. Thank you. SchreiberBike (talk) 22:13, 15 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

No information on the cultural envelope ...

So, European pirates? East Asian? East African?

Pirates, throughout, have been of many many cultural and linguistic backgrounds. You're telling me this article applies universally? Tony (talk) 06:09, 1 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I think this article refers to practices from the Golden Age of Piracy. This article states that it refers to "the period between the 1650s and the 1730s, when maritime piracy was a significant factor in the histories of the Caribbean, the United Kingdom, the Indian Ocean, North America, and West Africa". We could add this geographical limitation to the current article. Also: "18th-century piracy" in the title when it refers to a period 1650-1730 seems a bit... off. We could rename to "Governance in the Golgen Age of Piracy". Teunduynstee (talk) 15:43, 27 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
