::While Lilliput may be where lilliputian derived from, Lilliput actually has nothing to do with being small or short in stature, it is just an island name, and therefore irrelevent. However, lilliputian is the correct term to use, as it may have been derived from it, but still means "short". Therefore, while you were close, Lilliput itself is not an origin while lilliputian is. My apologies that it gets this complicated, but we really aren't too joyous on pop culture references here unless they have been proven to be made by Game Freak, hahaha! - [[User:050294|050294]] 20:31, 8 February 2011 (UTC) | ::While Lilliput may be where lilliputian derived from, Lilliput actually has nothing to do with being small or short in stature, it is just an island name, and therefore irrelevent.

:::"Lilliput actually has nothing to do with being small or short in stature"???! What?! Do you know ''anything'' about Gulliver's Travels? (And since when is anything from the 18th century called "pop culture", anyway?) Whatever, "lilliputian" is the only thing I ever even tried to put on the page, and it's really not that important. Just confused by your statement. --[[User:HeroicJay|HeroicJay]] 23:38, 8 February 2011 (UTC) | :::"Lilliput actually has nothing to do with being small or short in stature"???! What?!

::::While it is not really popular now, it is still considered "popular culture", as it has to do with something well known and or famous, though that doesn't mean it's incredibly popular. Either way, lilliputian is the acceptable term. - [[User:050294|050294]] 10:26, 9 February 2011 (UTC) | |||
