Is Tinkerbell a pixie or fairy? How do they differ?

I think tinkerbell is a fairie.

In the book, at least, she is clearly and unambiguously a fairy, who sprinkles fairy dust; the word "pixie" does not appear at any point in the proceedings. --Paul A 04:42, 11 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Thank you for the clarification. The reason I asked was because the Disney's version of Peter Pan mention pixie dust, IIRC.

Why does this page get a disney stub? Tinkerbell was a literary character long before she was co-opted by disney. DaveTheRed 20:50, 18 Feb 2005 (UTC)

A visitor to the site has requested that this page be moved to Tinker Bell, the original spelling of the name. I've posted the request at ]; please discuss here. Mindspillage (spill yours?) 02:14, 26 August 2005 (UTC)

Tinkerbell has 783,000 Google hits. Tinker Bell has 708,000. "TinkerBell" has 207,000. No opinion either way. I think that "tinkerbell" is the most common.

It's not really a popularity contest. The results are far too close to base a decision on, anyway. But since J. M. Barrie and Disney agree on the two-word version, there's no argument. Grant 17:57, 14 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Tinkerbell

[edit] Vandalism

In opening paragraph, what does "The voice of Tinkerbell is Tida Mien, a 7 year old girl in Chicago Il." even mean? Tinkerbell is a literary character. Does it refer to the Disney film? In that case the sentence should be moved to a later paragraph. 86.131.204.125 09:35, 8 February 2007 (UTC) RT Dumfriesshire

• This was vandalism. The user who put that quote in has vandalised other pages as well. Those had been cleaned up and this one wasn't caught. I've reverted that statement. Figgie123 15:31, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Spelling of name?

Since Barrie's novel is the original source, and her name is spelled Tinker Bell throughout, should that be the title of the page? I'll change it if there are no objections. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 72.225.218.47 (talk) 18:10, 19 February 2007 (UTC).

I'll do it now. Even Disney's own Tinker Bell page uses the two-word version, so there's not much scope for objection. Grant 18:03, 14 April 2007 (UTC)
