Sources
[edit]ok, the article does not cite any reference or source.... but considering the subject, what type of reference there can be for such a thing? Isn't enough to say that "is in the culture", or "the tradition", or... "many people I know do that"?? Oakwood (talk) 00:39, 9 December 2009 (UTC)
- Fairly easy to find a couple of reliable sources and a slightly iffy one (a probably user-contributed website, though citing a newspaper). It would be good to get sourced info on the equivalent games in other countries, as in the deleted content. Anyone got any encyclopedias of international children's games?

History Origin
[edit]The article says the game originated in the early 20th century, yet this source from 1888 mentions the game. “Children playing out-door games such as ‘Hide and Seek’ and ‘I Spy’…” So it must have an earlier origin. https://archive.org/details/jstor-532884/page/n1/mode/2up 2600:1004:B022:DFFA:5841:150F:4442:8B41 (talk) 00:35, 1 October 2024 (UTC)
