Im editing this page. I will be talking about the history of Bell peppers and also more historical facts that are left out of this article. A few key points would be the orgin and also how it became not as "spicy" as other peppers.

Please propose your changes first on the talk page, with the WP:RS source(s). Zefr (talk) 19:48, 21 April 2026 (UTC)Reply

@Zefr, Apologies for the late reply. I saw the edit warring in the history page and I've asked this group of students to stop editing and recommended they keep their work in their sandboxes. Substantial improvements will have to made to consider their work ready for mainspace. Brianda (Wiki Ed) (talk) 16:01, 6 May 2026 (UTC)Reply

Tabasco

Latest comment: 1 month ago1 comment1 person in discussion

The article says: In Mesoamerica, it was domesticated and C. annuum became the parent to the cayenne, bell, jalapeño, and tabasco peppers. Tabasco is C. frutescens, not C. annuum. This text implicitly suggests speciation of C. frutescens occurred in the process of domesticating C. annuum, a claim not made at its article and not supported by any source.
