I think that his correct name should be "Peg Leg Pete" (Or "Peg-Leg Pete") as this is the name he used to have at least once, before of the late Mickey toons and their political correctness. Laz 18:00 18 Jun 2003 (UTC)

But "Black Pete" is more reliable, because he's always black but he doesn't always have a peg leg. —Paul A 03:07, 7 Jan 2004 (UTC)

Grammar cleanup needed in the Kingdom Hearts II bit - sadly, it seems that it must be by someone with knowledge of the game, so I can't oblige. 81.178.196.214 19:29, 15 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Name

Why "Bootleg Pete"? Do we have a source for this? Powers ^T 02:07, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

I don't think Bootleg Pete is a commonly used name? This article should be on Black Pete or Pegleg Pete or Pete (Disney villain). 96T 14:56, 19 August 2006 (UTC)

I moved it back to "Black Pete", because he's constantly called that in this and other articles and stuff. A name change should be debated, however. 96T 16:57, 19 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Black Pete's Blunderbuss

I have my doubts that this is a notable drink, but the user who added the information didn't provide any source so I can't even verify its existence. I've left a note to the user asking for a source; if one isn't provided in a few days, I'll remove the paragraph as original research. Powers ^T 18:41, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Species

Pete isn't a cat, he's a dog, as evidenced in Goof Troop. User:Fourlittlediamonds

No, he's always been a (stylized) cat, like Goofy's always been a (stylized) dog. Anthony Dean 12:26, 6 October 2005 (UTC)

Well, he's definetely ot a "stylized hamster."—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 69.168.245.134 (talk • contribs).

I beleave Pete is still a cat in Goof Troop. Just because his teeth were changed from fang-ish too square-ish doesn't mean he transpecied into a dog. Lonicster 9:45 30 December 2006 (UTC)

Mickey referred to Pete as a cat in House of Mouse, which was more recent than An Extremely Goofy Movie - not sure if House of Mouse is considered canon though. 164.76.143.254 00:26, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

Durring the Goof Troop series, Pete was repeatedly refered to as being a Bull Dog --Scorp Stanton 15:18, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

In earlier Floyd Gottfredson stories, Pete was very clearly a cat (tail included). His appearance changed a lot as he became larger and less "cat-like" (his tail mysterioulsy disappeared), but he retained his feline ears. Wedineinheck 16:12, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

Wow, all of this is news to me. I always thought of Pete as being an anthropomorphized bulldog. --Hnsampat (talk) 18:07, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

Although, I should note that, in Steamboat Willie, it's quite obvious that Pete is a cat. --Hnsampat (talk) 05:37, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] New name for the article

I am considering moving this article to one called "Pete (Disney)", because most people refer to him only as Pete, and also more people known him without the words "Black" or "Peg-Leg" in front of it. Does anyone have anything to say about this? Themeparkfanatic 20:52, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Who is Weasel ?

The article states that "In the comics Pete often teams up with Mickey Mouse enemies Sylvester Shyster, Eli Squinch, or Weasel." I know about Sylvester Shyster and Eli Squinch (in italian stories, he also sometimes teams up with the Phantom Blot), but who is Weasel ? Could that be the nazi spy "Von Weasel" from the story "Mickey Mouse on a secret mission" ? While this character fits in the same category as Shyster and Squinch (i.e. : smarters villains Peter works for), he definitely doesn't qualify as a recurring villain, as I think he only appeared in this particular story. Ideas, anyone ? Wedineinheck 16:15, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Main Picture

Having a Kingdom Hearts image in the article is fine and all, but should one really be the primary illustration of Pete, stuck at the very top of the page? I think a more traditional image would be much more fitting, as opposed to a screenshot from a modern, Japanese video game. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 97.81.97.140 (talk) 05:45, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

I agree but his one is the best we have available for a main pic, Maybe you could find a better pic for the taxbox. Bobisbob 03:30, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Black Pete USMM WWII mascot.jpg

Image:Black Pete USMM WWII mascot.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 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 lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

[edit] Pete as a dog

How do we know Pete is supposed to be a dog in Goof Troop? Do we have any confromation from thepeople who worked on the show? Just because the other character are doglike doesn't make him a dog. Bobisbob (talk) 18:12, 5 April 2008 (UTC)

Look at his daughter Pistol, she has Goofy's dog ears and Peg also resembles a dog. I don't think a cat father would give birth to a daughter that looks like a dog unless Peg cheated on Pete with Goofy.--76.208.171.163 (talk) 09:41, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
