Nice article, but surely we can do better than "Things in Atlas Shrugged" for a title? How about "concepts", or "items" or "non-character players".... anything more ecyclopedic in style than "things". Mat-C 20:49, 24 Oct 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Rename?

I suggest that the article should be renamed into Notable Objects in Atlas Shrugged instead of using the word "Things", as it sounds more encyclopedic--TBC^{??? ??? ???} 21:20, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

Things in Atlas Shrugged is one of several references used in the Atlas Shrugged Wikibook. The other references are Places and Characters, both of which have been, apparently, unjustifiably deleted. Things encompasses everything else that does not fit in the first two reference categories; not everything in Things is an object. Please do not delete, move, or change this article if you have not read the novel in detail. --Yosofun 09:17, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
