"In parts of Ohio, Indiana, and Pennsylvania, the fruit is called a "mango".[where?]" This "[where?]" link leads to "Project Countering systemic bias." I'm not sure what we're looking for in answer to "where," but I'd just like to say that, indeed, the bell pepper is called a mango in at least the Cincinnati area where I grew up. As for "systemic bias," I'm not seeing any. Would the same warning be necessary when mentioning the difference between a Brit's "biscuit" and a Yank's "cookie?" —brian (W7632416) | (talk) 06:17, 2 August 2009 (UTC)

message: The link for reference 4, http://www.fruitsandveggiesmatter.gov/month/bell_pepper.html, now points to some sort of generic nutrition page, and if there's any information on bell peppers on that site I haven't been able to find it.  I haven't removed the reference because I'd rather it were replaced with a working link but don't have the time to hunt one down.JDZeff (talk) 02:29, 8 November 2012 (UTC)

message: When I worked in a supermarket in the UK Midlands, we always used to call them 'capsicums'. If I recall correctly, we never called them 'peppers'.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ianbrettcooper (talk • contribs) 17:54, 22 August 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree, the name capsicum is also used in the UK, although "peppers" is probably the most used, capsicum is not unknown. The term which is not used here is "bell peppers" - although some pre-packed bags of peppers have that written on the packs, probably because most originate outside the UK and the foreign companies who pack them are unaware that Brits don't call them that.--62.249.233.80 (talk) 14:52, 13 September 2013 (UTC)

message: This article states in the "Nutritional value" section that red peppers contain lycopene, but clicking on the this link (i.e. "lycopene") takes us to an entry which contradicts this claim in the first paragraph.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.29.28.62 (talk) 20:24, 28 July 2014 (UTC)

message: Hello fellow Wikipedians,
I have just added archive links to  on Bell pepper. Please take a moment to review my edit. You may add  after the link to keep me from modifying it, if I keep adding bad data, but formatting bugs should be reported instead. Alternatively, you can add  to keep me off the page altogether, but should be used as a last resort. I made the following changes:

message: In french, the 't' in piment is silent, which makes it sound closer to the Japanese and Korean equivalents than either the Spanish or Portuguese words.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 223.33.153.143 (talk) 05:55, 25 February 2018 (UTC)
thread_title:  French origin for variations on PiMang? 

message: The infobox in the article currently shows only info for unripe green peppers. Since they're equally often (at least here in NL) eaten red (ripe), I think it would be good to show the info for both. I tried adding an additional infobox, but couldn't get it besides the existing one, only below it, which makes the page longer. Ideally the info for both would be side by side in one infobox. If someone else knows more infobox magic, here's the info for red peppers, same format and source as the one on the page for green ones:

replies: text: The article's nutrition table is for raw green sweet bell peppers, just as the table here is for raw red sweet bell peppers. The only nutrients to discuss (those having a DV > 10%) are vitamin B6 and vitamin C, which the article already covers in the section on Use as a food. --Zefr (talk) 21:15, 14 July 2019 (UTC)

message: Does anyone have any other citation for that claim other than source 4?
Because that's just the statement from a paprika factory manager who's telling the author a little bit about Paprika. Other than that I haven't found any evidence on non-spicy paprika being invented in Hungary in the 1920s.
