Notes

• 1b. Lead does not fully summarize the article (WP:LEAD). "Derivatives" seems to run afoul of Wikipedia:Embedded list.
• 2a. Please follow Wikipedia:Layout. Which reference does the Wife Swap and Jeopardy! appearances come from?
• 2b. Provide publisher information on all references used. Resolve the {{Citation needed}} tags.
• 3b. "Examples" section is sprawling, but is ok at this point.
• 6a. Weak Fair Use rationale on File:Robert.Newton.ljs.gif. Actually, describe what the pirate looks like. Don't just say it is important to know what a pirate looks like.

Conclusion
