[edit] Lack of Information
This article is lacking in many areas including character names, complete plot info, etc. Just a thought. Kornfan71 13:22, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
What I was looking for was criticism, which the article also lacks. I wondered about the prospect of finding ostriches on an island in the East Indies, for example... 76.208.120.38 (talk) 03:42, 9 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Family surname was not "Robinson"
This was new and surprising to me when I read it in the article just now, but I checked two different online versions of the book, and the family name was indeed never stated in the text to be "Robinson". The explanation for the name of the book itself (and why this would not be the actual name of the family) make sense, so I have reverted the recent edit that refers to the family as "the Robinsons" and replaced it with "the (unnamed) family".
It's possible but unlikely that somewhere in the book their actual surname is given, but I freely admit I didn't pore over every word to check. All I can say for sure is that the only uses of the word "Robinson" in the two online versions are references to Robinson Crusoe.--NapoliRoma 21:57, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
The only characters named seem to be the four sons and the domestic animals. The introduction to my edition says, however, that a large number of different versions have been published, so one or another might contain their surname. It is most definitely not Robinson, as is stated correctly by the article at this moment. 76.208.120.38 (talk) 03:40, 9 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Basis for TV show?
- The Theme of a group of people shipwrecked with little prospect of rescue is already redone in Lost In Space; possibly theme repeated in land of the Giants? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 134.53.145.104 (talk) 13:52, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Repeats in article
- I noticed it repeats two of the sections. It's probably already fixed, but I wanted to note it.
