Wouldn't the title be better as "Peter Pan (character)"? - Branddobbe 04:25, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
"In some variations of the story and some spin-offs, Peter can also be quite nasty and selfish. In the Disney adaptation of the tale, Peter appears very judgmental and pompous (for example, he called the Lost Boys 'blockheads' and when the Darling children say that they should leave for home at once, he gets the wrong message and angrily assumes that they want to grow up)."
This seems to be interpretation--and rather subjective. Agree? Disagree? 71.111.220.191 ( talk) 05:34, 20 November 2008 (UTC)
Please see Talk:Peter Pan (disambiguation) to discuss how the title "Peter Pan" is disambiguated. - JasonAQuest 19:13, 3 December 2007 (UTC)
I like the Peter Pan illustration at the top of the article, but I'm not sure it's appropriate to use in this context. As a work of art apparently created for this article, it's the visual equivalent of original research. Made-for-WP visuals are appropriate for illustrating objective information (e.g. maps, diagrams, topics where photos are too risque), but when it comes to illustrating a fictional character, it's tantamount to saying "This is what I think the character looks like," which is the submitter's opinion. I'd be much more comfortable sticking to interpretations of the character previously published by others elsewhere. (Using the illustration in Template:Peter_Pan is a different matter, and aside from the fact that it doesn't scale down as well I'd like, I think it's fine in that context.) - JasonAQuest ( talk) 17:24, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
The result of this discussion was to move this article to Peter Pan -- Lox ( t, c)
I've requested that this article be moved to just Peter Pan as the character is the most widely understood meaning of the name (not the play or the novel... neither of which is properly titled just "Peter Pan" anyway). - JasonAQuest ( talk) 21:05, 8 December 2007 (UTC)
This article has been tagged for "clean-up", and I agree. The main issue I see is that the rather long sections about Peter in this-story or that-story spend a lot of time telling the story. I think that sort of plot information is better left to the articles about those stories. This article should focus on who/what Peter Pan is, his personality, his appearance, his abilities, who his friend/enemies are, etc. Wherever possible, the focus should be on the things are true in all (or at least most) versions, and when talking about "facts" that come from anyone but Barrie, the source should be noted (random example: "In the Disney movie, Peter wears brown slippers"). And of course try not to get bogged down in trivia like what color his slippers are. :) Any thoughts? - JasonAQuest ( talk) 05:00, 17 December 2007 (UTC)
Was there a compelling reason why The Wendy Trilogy reference was removed from the Popular Culture section, considering that it is about both Peter and Wendy? No discussion was had here regarding this edit. -- Parcequilfaut ( talk) 22:04, 6 September 2008 (UTC)
The longest term for Copyright in the world is the Berne Convention- life of the author plus seventy years. This would put the book in the public domain for the whole world. The less illuminated JasonAQuest states otherwise. Unless there is an objection I intend to change the entry to the correct information. Allknowingallseeing ( talk) 15:48, 23 September 2008 (UTC)
:"The copyright first expired in 1987, 50 years after Barrie’s death, but former Prime Minister Lord Callaghan successfully proposed an amendment to the Copyright Designs & Patents Act of 1988, giving Great Ormond St the unique right to royalties from stage performances of Peter Pan (and any adaptation of the play) as well as from publications of the story of Peter Pan, in perpetuity. (CDPA 1988, Schedule 6, Section 301).
- In 1996 copyright term was extended to 70 years after the author’s death throughout the European Union, which meant Peter Pan enjoyed revived copyright until 31 December 2007, after which it entered the public domain in Europe. The CDPA (of 1988 (see above) will therefore prevail from now on in the UK so that GOSH will continue enjoying the benefit of Barrie’s gift.
- Thanks to different legislation in the US, the play (and stage adaptations) is in copyright there until 2023. [ claims GOSH].
Allknowing is simply misinformed. The Berne Convention sets minimum terms (generally life+50) not maximums; signatory countries are free to exceed them, and dozens of them (including the EU) do. Mexico's term is life+100, and in the United States, copyright can be 95 years after publication or even 120 years after creation, which can obviously be more than 70 years after the author's death. Furthermore, the fact that GOSH claims that Peter Pan is still under copyright in the US (a position I personally find implausible, but that's simply my POV) makes a statement to the contrary incredibly inappropriate. - JasonAQuest ( talk) 01:06, 24 September 2008 (UTC)
The article doesn't take into account the work on Barrie and the du Maurier's in Captivated by Piers Dudgeon where he hypothesises (rightly in my opinion) that Peter Pan represented some of the darker aspects of Barrie himself. Originally Peter was the villain of the story, not the hero he has generally been treated as later, and this is stated in the article on Hook - but not here. Barrie may have transferred the copyright to Ormond St Children's Hospital out of guilt, not generosity. This article should at least include these points as theories. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Hermeswiki ( talk • contribs) 15:56, 15 December 2008 (UTC)
Blues Traveler isn't even mentioned in the "culture" section? There's a reference to Peter Pan mythology on almost every Blues Traveler album (quite obvious on the album "Straight on Till Morning"). Shouldn't this be mentioned? I could provide a more complete list if necessary. -- Buddy13 ( talk) 03:42, 5 January 2009 (UTC)

It seems like Peter is usually considered the "hero" of the story, the good guy in contrast to Hook's villain role. Why is that? Isn't Pan evil and barbaric for cutting Hook's hand off? Perhaps the "personality" section should also mention that he is quite cruel. Web wonder ( talk) 04:29, 7 November 2009 (UTC)
The information in this article, The pain behind Peter Pan, from U.S. News might be of value to have in the history section, or in a separate origin section.

There's a thoroughly unfounded statement in this article that the reason a woman has almost always been cast as Peter Pan in stage productions since the first one has something to do with a scarcity of child actors. This isn't true at all and is frankly kind of a silly conclusion based on no evidence whatsoever. The reason a woman is usually cast as Peter is that the character flies a number of times during the show for several minutes at a time and therefore must wear a harness of straps underneath his/her costume which can be attached to wires on the flying rig used to lift him/her off the ground, and that those straps are very uncomfortable for a male actor to wear. It's far less uncomfortable for a female to wear such a harness which concentrates the pressure of the actor's full weight you-can-imagine-where night after night during a long performance run. Actually it can prove difficult enough for a male actor that he will often be able to handle being suspended in such a way for only a few minutes at a time before not being able to deal with it any more. I performed in a production of JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR for years in which a similar harness was used, hidden under the loincloth of the actor playing Jesus, to suspend him from a hidden hook on the cross for a few minutes at the end of each show. This caused the actor to cramp up enough to be unable to appear in a curtain call, so the show was and still is staged without one. Perhaps someone could phrase this comment more succinctly and politely for this article and make the appropriate correction! — Preceding unsigned comment added by ClarkSavageJr ( talk • contribs) 12:02, 29 October 2011 (UTC)
I assume part of the reason is simply that Peter Pan needs to have an unbroken voice to convincingly play 'the boy who never grew up'. 109.149.9.143 ( talk) 20:14, 9 June 2014 (UTC)
After watching this film (Hook) a few nights ago, I'm sure Hook says, "FOR a 10 year old I'm huge", opposed to, "to a 10 year old I'm huge", suggesting that he is also 10 years old (as do many other things in this film, where he can be seen having childish tantrums etc), and is only seen as being bigger because he's the bully etc. I think it makes much more sense this way also, as Pan is clearly older than 10 in pretty much all of this film, so not sure if this quote can be used to justify any points about Pan's age... Sorry if this isn't the correct procedure for suggestions, have never done this before. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.185.46.181 ( talk) 18:44, 22 December 2011 (UTC)

That's a great sounding project but I'm a little concerned that many of the points you want to cover are already covered in other Wiki pages so there would be an unnecessary overlap e.g.
Thank you for bearing these points in mind and for your work on this project!-- Stelmaris ( talk) 08:59, 23 September 2013 (UTC)
Stelmaris, thanks for the valuable feedbacks. Regarding the information that's already featured on other wiki articles, we believe it's useful to have a clear and concise overview of the information related to this character for Wikipedia users. It is frustrating for users seeking specific information to have to jump from page to page. We intend to create a user friendly page where users can access general information on the topic in one place. We'll be sure to link to the main articles these overviews. Ultimately by connecting users to related articles, our edits can increase contribution and readership.
Thank you for noticing the repetitiveness of the song list. We won't include that in our edits.
Lastly, to the best of our ability, we'll follow the language of the article. However, we're not experienced with British English. Can you elaborate on how to follow the British English.
Xiaoxu193 ( talk) 23:45, 30 September 2013 (UTC)
LeshedInstructor, we defintely agree with Stelmaris's feedbacks. Our primary intention is to clean this page up, making it more organized and comprehensible. We'll be sure to take the advice and not be too repetitive with the information provided. Xiaoxu193 ( talk) 23:48, 30 September 2013 (UTC)
Jared Kass, thanks for your support. We indicated at the beginning of our proposal that it's for a class assignment. If we've more questions, we'll be sure to contact you on your page. Xiaoxu193 ( talk) 02:51, 1 October 2013 (UTC)
Great work, Brittany. However, I have made some changes/edits to your contributions and also deleted the Disney images which (in my view) should not be included here, since Disney's Peter Pan has its own Wiki page. It would be great to find some other images, especially from the early editions of Peter Pan, contemporary with Barrie. Stelmaris ( talk) 15:06, 9 October 2013 (UTC)
Xiaoxu193 ( talk) 23:11, 9 October 2013 (UTC)
Someone keeps posting the picture of the little girl from London, Ontario but I deleted it because: the photo is primarily about the girl, not the statue; the statue itself is hardly visible in the shot; and it's out of place on this page. If you want to include a picture of that particular statue, by all means go ahead but please find a better one, do not post the same one again without first discussing, otherwise it will be removed again. Thanks. -- Stelmaris ( talk) 14:15, 10 March 2014 (UTC)
Greatpumkin has reinserted the picture again, without any discussion here, and I've deleted it - again. My argument is that it sticks out like a sore thumb on the page, compared to the other pictures of statues, as it's more about the girl than anything else and really not notable at all. Please can you discuss here before posting again? Thanks.-- Stelmaris ( talk) 09:25, 17 March 2014 (UTC)

To IP 100.9.152.158: I have reverted your edits again, for the same reason I explained previously. You might not care about the original work, but WP does and this page is all about JM Barrie’s creative work, as he imagined it and wrote it. You might well believe they were natives of Neverland, but that’s not the point: that’s just your own personal POV. The term he originally used (“Redskins” – and not “rednecks”) is racist by today’s standards but there is no doubt it describes a tribe of Native Americans. Neverland is an imaginary island of course, and Barrie stresses everyone has their own view of it but in his play and novel, it is populated by all sorts of characters (pirates, fairies, Native Americans etc) and animals (lions, bears, crocodiles etc) and none of these are meant to be native to the island. Please do not change it back again, as it’s only going to get reverted. (P.S. I would also ask you please not to leave offensive remarks on my user page as this is not constructive…) Thanks. -- Stelmaris ( talk) 11:36, 22 October 2015 (UTC)

Thank you for noticing the repetitiveness of the song list. We won't include that in our edits.
Lastly, to the best of our ability, we'll follow the language of the article. However, we're not experienced with British English. Can you elaborate on how to follow the British English.

LeshedInstructor, we defintely agree with Stelmaris's feedbacks. Our primary intention is to clean this page up, making it more organized and comprehensible. We'll be sure to take the advice and not be too repetitive with the information provided. Xiaoxu193 ( talk) 23:48, 30 September 2013 (UTC)
Jared Kass, thanks for your support. We indicated at the beginning of our proposal that it's for a class assignment. If we've more questions, we'll be sure to contact you on your page. Xiaoxu193 ( talk) 02:51, 1 October 2013 (UTC)
Great work, Brittany. However, I have made some changes/edits to your contributions and also deleted the Disney images which (in my view) should not be included here, since Disney's Peter Pan has its own Wiki page. It would be great to find some other images, especially from the early editions of Peter Pan, contemporary with Barrie. Stelmaris ( talk) 15:06, 9 October 2013 (UTC)

Someone keeps posting the picture of the little girl from London, Ontario but I deleted it because: the photo is primarily about the girl, not the statue; the statue itself is hardly visible in the shot; and it's out of place on this page. If you want to include a picture of that particular statue, by all means go ahead but please find a better one, do not post the same one again without first discussing, otherwise it will be removed again. Thanks. -- Stelmaris ( talk) 14:15, 10 March 2014 (UTC)
Greatpumkin has reinserted the picture again, without any discussion here, and I've deleted it - again. My argument is that it sticks out like a sore thumb on the page, compared to the other pictures of statues, as it's more about the girl than anything else and really not notable at all. Please can you discuss here before posting again? Thanks.-- Stelmaris ( talk) 09:25, 17 March 2014 (UTC)

To IP 100.9.152.158: I have reverted your edits again, for the same reason I explained previously. You might not care about the original work, but WP does and this page is all about JM Barrie’s creative work, as he imagined it and wrote it. You might well believe they were natives of Neverland, but that’s not the point: that’s just your own personal POV. The term he originally used (“Redskins” – and not “rednecks”) is racist by today’s standards but there is no doubt it describes a tribe of Native Americans. Neverland is an imaginary island of course, and Barrie stresses everyone has their own view of it but in his play and novel, it is populated by all sorts of characters (pirates, fairies, Native Americans etc) and animals (lions, bears, crocodiles etc) and none of these are meant to be native to the island. Please do not change it back again, as it’s only going to get reverted. (P.S. I would also ask you please not to leave offensive remarks on my user page as this is not constructive…) Thanks. -- Stelmaris ( talk) 11:36, 22 October 2015 (UTC)

As far as I know, Peter can only fly when he has a shadow or something. That isn't mentioned in the Abilities section. -- 212.186.7.98 ( talk) 15:17, 2 March 2018 (UTC)
Someone keeps making ungrammatical and inappropriate edits to this page, and keeps reverting edits to post the same rubbish. Could we protect this page for a short while to discourage the anonymous editor(s)? Thanks-- Stelmaris ( talk) 11:33, 30 August 2019 (UTC)
The "In Popular Culture" section seems to have a lot of overlap with List of works based on Peter Pan. Shouldn't we use one or the other ? -- Beardo ( talk) 03:48, 13 May 2021 (UTC)
Hopefully I'm getting the formatting right and posting in the right place, but on the page for Peter Pan the link for "Christopher Steele" leads to the intelligence officer rather than the actor and I'm not familiar enough with Wikipedia to edit it myself, nor am I sure that the actor has a Wikipedia page. Regardless, it's the wrong person so I wanted to point it out. Thank you in advance to whomever fixes it. 68.80.1.241 ( talk) 10:41, 31 May 2021 (UTC)
Thanks for pointing it out. I removed the link to the intelligence officer but the actor doesn't have a wiki page. -- Stelmaris ( talk) 18:48, 31 May 2021 (UTC)
