[edit] Brobdingnag

This page is currently listed on the Votes for Deletion page with suggestions that it be merged back into the Gulliver's Travels main article and this page be a redirect to the article. My belief is that this article is of such importance to the book that it warrants its own page to allow more discussion in depth. I would encourage all people with an interest in this issue or Gulliver's Travels to have your say in this vote. Capitalistroadster 00:08, 16 Jan 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Move-to notice removal

I've removed the "this article should be moved to Gullivers Travels" notice, as there is no apparent compelling reason for doing so, and several good reasons to retain it as a stand-alone article - not least of which is the usefulness of being able to include it in the Fictional countries category, which serves as an invaluable literary cross-reference.--Centauri 05:59, 16 Jan 2005 (UTC)

I for one think this article should NOT be redirected. Brobdignangian is a term used outside Gilliver (like Lillipution, but less widespread). The article is referred to elsewhere, as mentioned above. DJ Clayworth 06:08, 16 Jan 2005 (UTC)

[edit] About your vote to delete Philosophy Quick Topic Guide

You voted before the whole issue was presented, so you may not have realized what the issue was. There are two templates battling it out, and you voted to delete one (for reasons unrelated to the conflict) before the second TfD notice was posted. Please take another look. Go for it! 02:20, 25 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Communism

is it just me, or do the people of Brobdingnag run a Utopean Communist soceity? after all the farmers seem provided for, yet have no money, or else why would Gulliver's Master have tried to use Gulliver for his own end, selling Gulliver as he did? all the farmers bring their produce to the capital, where its given to each person on the basis of how much they need. the one difference is that this communist society was not intended to over throw the industrial capitalistic group, and that Marx is has another century to be born.
