When the afd is over, I suggest renaming to " Captain Avery" (with suitable redirects for variants and aliases). This seems to be the most common version in historical accounts. Tearlach 23:36, 21 December 2005 (UTC)
Right in the beggining of the text there is this reference to the year 2987, wich is clearly wrong, but i wouldn´t know the correct year. ( 187.77.182.131 ( talk) 15:47, 4 October 2009 (UTC))
Digging up this discussion: if the title is Every, why is referred to only as Avery throughout the article? Popcornduff ( talk) 11:33, 15 October 2017 (UTC)
"While the stories of brutality by the pirates are largely unconfirmed, they are mostly corroborated by the depositions of several of Every's crewmen following their capture." If the actual pirates confirmed the stories of brutality, why are they called "unconfirmed?" Did the survivors of the Ganj-i-Sawai fail to confirm the story? Was there someone else who could have confirmed the stories and didn't? Pirate Dan ( talk) 01:30, 6 January 2011 (UTC)
I've been in email correspondence with historian E. T. Fox, author of the book The King of the Pirates. He was kind enough to look at the article and offer some corrections/suggestions. I've tried to implement many of his suggestions with this edit. In regards to the plaque supposedly found in India in 1967, Fox writes: "I have been in contact with the Mumbai Museum regarding this plaque. They tell me that they do not possess any such plaque and that they have never heard of it being recovered locally. I have no idea where this rumour sprung from." I've removed mentions of this plaque accordingly. -- Life is like a box of chocolates ( talk) 07:22, 4 June 2011 (UTC)
Why is this article in American English? Doesn't the subject matter warrant British spelling? Sigh. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 142.68.64.243 ( talk • contribs) 17:37, 25 June 2013 (UTC)
The last sentence in the introductory para is clearly both out of place and nonsensical. Avery could not have been, "... known for his role in the game Uncharted 4 : A Thief's End." Obviously it refers to a character based on him not Avery himself. He himself, being dead for over 300 years, would find it hard to play a role in a video game.

If Every's fate is unknown and no reliable information exists, why is he listed as having a death date of 1699? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.74.4.120 ( talk) 18:41, 31 August 2017 (UTC)
