The lead image we have here appears in color, however the original work was black and white. Do we know when the color was added and who did it? The colorized version may fall under copyright if it was colorized recently. DreamGuy (talk) 13:45, 27 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Shouldn't this segment of the article be removed? There is already a completely separate article that is specifically Kraken in popular culture which is linked to just above that section. So, ALSO having this as a section in the main article is redundant. Not only that, but it kind of adds undue weight to those few items listed on the main Kraken article, since there's really nothing to indicate that these items are more important enough to be on this page while the rest are not. This section didn't even exist until just a few months ago, and should probably be removed again. 64.183.45.226 (talk) 18:16, 15 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Agreed. Removed. Zzyzx11 (talk) 00:44, 24 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

/krɑkən/, really? I've heard /krækɨn/ and /krekɨn/, but never /krɑkən/. I'm in the US, FWIW. 73.149.43.153 (talk) 17:21, 13 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

"Kraken" is pronounced with a long "A". Johnny Depp pronounced it wrong in POTC and now everybody is.

Change pronunciation (phonetic) symbols in the article's heading to reflect "krākən" as rhyming with "taken" ^[1] Seminole-boy (talk) 22:47, 15 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done. I checked multiple dictionaries, and while I did find some variation between /ˈkrɑːkən/ and (/ˈkrækən/, nothing that I found verifies your claim here. –Deacon Vorbis (carbon • videos) 01:18, 16 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
