Editorial Guidelines

1. Mission and Purpose

The primary mission of PirateShipNames.com is to provide a reliable, creative, and accessible resource for writers, tabletop gamers, roleplayers, and creators. We aim to offer genre-appropriate names and content that spark imagination and help you bring your creative projects to life.

2. Content Standards

All content published on our site is held to clear standards. We ensure our content is:

• Useful & Categorized: Name lists and tools are organized logically (e.g. funny, female, D&D, fantasy, Sea of Thieves) so users find relevant ideas quickly.
• Clean & Family-Safe: While pirate themes naturally involve combat and swashbuckling lore, we filter out hate speech, slurs, and graphic material.
• Creative & Varied: We aim for a balance of historical inspiration, cinematic flair, and lighthearted wordplay.

3. Historical Content vs. Fictional Names

We maintain a clear distinction between documented historical facts and fictional or generated names.

• Historical Content: When discussing historical pirates during the Golden Age of Piracy, we distinguish reliable evidence from popular folklore and later romanticized legend.
• Generated & Fictional Names: Generated names are creative fictional outputs. They are not guaranteed to be historically authentic, unique, or trademark-free.

4. AI Assistance & Human Review

We maintain transparency about how content on our site is developed:

• AI Assistance: We may use AI tools for initial brainstorming, structure drafting, or expanding raw adjective/noun candidate lists.
• Human Editing & Fact-Checking: Published content is reviewed, curated, and edited before publication, with additional fact-checking for historical claims.

5. Corrections & Feedback

If you find an incorrect fact, broken link, misleading statement, or inappropriate generated result, please let us know.

Email your correction to pirateshipnames@gmail.com with:

• The page URL
• A short explanation of the issue
• Suggested correction or source reference (if applicable)

6. Editorial Independence

PirateShipNames.com maintains editorial independence. Display advertising served by third parties (such as Google AdSense) does not dictate which editorial topics are published or which names are recommended.
