Here's a reference that has a definition that's even briefer: http://www.bartleby.com/59/6/peterpiper.html Also, this would seem to verify that this is a Mother Goose rhyme: http://gutenberg.mirrors.tds.net/pub/gutenberg.org/1/0/6/0/10607/10607-h/10607-h.htm --BillFlis 11:40, 18 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yes I agree, would be nice to find the original or first written version of this nursery rhime. This "modern" version has no source. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Monsieur Voltaire (talk • contribs) 04:11, 4 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, instead of complaining about it, one should just go and edit it. This is the whole idea behind Wikipedia, to gather contributions from everybody, you included, and assemble it as common knowledge for everybody to have. As long as you understand the area- and this area isn't very technical. Any large changes should have reference footnotes ^[1]. You can click above the edit box where it says >Cite and then Templates⋁; you fill in the blanks and it creates a footnote, like this. ^[2] Click or hover, or just scroll down. You should probably sign up for an account. OsamaBinLogin (talk) 23:51, 15 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Comic strip

I question the importance of mentioning the comic strip "Peter Piper." It seems unlikely that anyone would be confused as is warned against. 108.93.144.242 (talk) 02:37, 4 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
