Talk:Lucy van Pelt

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

If I recall correctly, the first time Lucy pulled the football away was when she was still portrayed as younger than Charlie Brown, and she was so afraid that he would accidentally kick her hands that she pulled the ball away at the last second. Back then, Lucy was still the sweet innocent young girly-girl with the round eyes, but she eventually grew into the fuss-budget we're now familiar with, which is consequently when she started purposely pulling the football away. If I can confirm this somehow, I'll add a little blurb to the football paragraph. --Birdhombre 19:06, 15 Mar 2005 (UTC)

That was Violet. --Wack'd About Wiki 17:06, 6 August 2005 (UTC)

Lucy was younger than Charlie Brown when she first pulls the ball away, but the reason she pulles it back is she "was afraid your shoes might be dirty, Charlie Brown ... I don't want anyone with dirty shoes kicking my new football..." It is definately Lucy, she is addressed by name by Charlie Brown. Mallocks 17:10, 6 August 2005 (UTC)

Lucy's middle name really is Adrienne. And Charlie Brown's middle name is "John", Sally's is "Eliane" (pronounced Elly-ane) and so on. How do I know this? A new paper called "The Peanuts Birthdates and Information" says that all the characters in "Peanuts" have their own snippets of info. I am upset that Birdhombre deleted my sources. If you can, put them back please --Janet6 8:49, 29 December 2005

For the moment, I will assume good faith that you're not just making up "The Peanuts Birthdates and Information." However, I am a long time Peanuts fan and have never read any of these middle names and surnames you keep adding. I can find no instances of these names using Google, nor can I find this new paper named "The Peanuts Birthdates and Information." Even if it does exist, I'd like to see more than one source support this information, again just because this is all news to me. Where did you find this paper? Lastly, you made your comment as the IP User:24.255.115.243, then edited it to give the name User:Janet6. If you really are Janet6, please sign in. --Birdhombre 02:08, 29 December 2005 (UTC)

• That username is apparently bogus. It has no contributions listed. There are many for 24.255.115.243, and I'm glad I checked, because this user tried to slip some stuff from that "paper" into the Peanuts article also, which I had not been watching for some reason. I'm guessing this so-called "new paper" is either a "fig newton" of the user's imagination, or is something unpublished, maybe somebody's term paper, and from the standpoint of wikipedia, if it's unpublished, it effectively does not exist.

Thanks for catching that; it must have been done after I went to bed. If you look at the history, someone had attempted these edits before: [1] and [2], each time with a different IP. It's getting old fast. --Birdhombre 13:05, 29 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Older/Younger

I removed the references to Lucy being older or younger than her brothers. In the first paragraph it stated that she was older than both Linus and Rerun. Further down, when speaking of Linus, the article stated "his younger sister". If someone can straighten this out, great! If not then it shouldn't be stated as fact, IMO.

She's definately older, in the comics she is never stated as otherwise, I'm not sure why it would be stated that she was younger at all. Even so I only added one instance of 'older' as it covers both brothers, I don't feel it need be said again. Mallocks 23:02, 30 December 2005 (UTC)
