I thought he threw a stone into the well...? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.45.149.198 ( talk • contribs) 10:02, 4 June 2005
Has anyone else noticed that the family tree at the bottom of this page suggests that Belladonna and Bungo were engaged in an incestuous union ?

Didn't he make a lot of trouble/ he gets Gandalf killed by alerting the balrog to their present at Moira. He also forgets that they are using the name "underhill" in the prancing pony causing the incident where frodo becomes invisible. I barely remember, but isn't he the charater most readers want to kill? I thought it as him, but perhaps i am mistaken. If he is the annoying one, someone should point that out. —Preceding

Really, how could anyone want to kill Pippin? If you'll remember, he is the youngest of the four main hobbits, not even of age yet, and is still considered a young boy, a child. Therefore, he displays childlike impulsiveness, as well as a clumsy manner that is often notable in most children. He is also possibly the most lovable of the characters, except perhaps Sam, and displays true loyalty as a friend in the Return of the King, when he helps Merry to find healers after he had stabbed the Witch King of Angmar. Also, though he did in fact cause the death of Gandalf, his actions allowed the wizard to come back as the more powerful Gandalf the White. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Frodologist ( talk • contribs) 02:46, 16 August 2009 (UTC)
Here and here are a couple of sites which cite the golf/Thain explanation for Billy Boyd's Scottish accent. Unfortunately, these are just fan sites: if someone can find a more official reference, that would be great. — Josiah Rowe 03:55, 31 October 2005 (UTC)
And this is the bit from The Hobbit about Bullroarer Took and golf:
If you have ever seen a dragon in a pinch, you will realize that this was only poetical exaggeration applied to any hobbit, even to Old Took's great-grand-uncle Bullroarer, who was so huge (for a hobbit) that he could ride a horse. He charged the ranks of the goblins of Mount Gram in the Battle of the Green Fields, and knocked their king Golfimbul's head clean off with a wooden club. It sailed a hundred yards through the air and went down a rabbit-hole, and in this way the battle was won and the game of Golf invented at the same moment.

Image:Pippinprintscreen.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. BetacommandBot 09:06, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
This article is far too "in universe" and needs to be rewritten to reflect that it is a fictional character. DJ Clayworth ( talk) 15:53, 10 December 2009 (UTC)
Should not this article be named Pippin through the rules of common name. Using his "official name" in and of itself seems to violate rules against writing in in universe style. John Pack Lambert ( talk) 22:37, 12 January 2020 (UTC)
The whole plot summary is written too in-universe. This is how we would write about a real political figure who was known most from an epic story of his life, not at all how we should write a report on a fictional character. John Pack Lambert ( talk) 03:04, 26 January 2020 (UTC)

serve to throw light on the characters of the good and bad Germanic lords Théoden of Rohan and Denethor of Gondor.
Obviously the Rohirric culture is written as heavily Germanic... but is there anything that suggests Gondor is too? --
