[edit] Metaphor

I just found out that this entire book is a metaphor refencing the populist party in the early 1900's, WOW!

No it isn't. Read the wikipedia article on The Wonderful Wizard of Oz and the accompanying talk page, you'll see. --Woggly 11:25, 29 Mar 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Dorothy's Aunt and Uncle

There should be entries on Dorothy's aunt and uncle!

Why not write them yourself? --Woggly 11:25, 29 Mar 2005 (UTC)

I posted the aunt and uncle's names, their is now links for you to write the articals under. --Wack'd About Wiki 22:22, 26 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Names of Witches

I noticed that each which has two articals - one named by their actual name (example: Glinda), and one with their title (example: Good Witch of the North). THESE ARTICALS SHOULD BE MERGED. Do you agree? --Wack'd About Wiki 22:51, 26 Jun 2005 (UTC)

That's not true. There are four witches, and one article for each: Wicked Witch of the West, Wicked Witch of the East, Good Witch of the North, and Glinda. In the Oz canon, Glinda is the Good Witch of the South, not North. AJD 23:46, 26 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia:WikiProject Oz

I have created a new WikiProject about Oz: WikiProject Oz. I hope to create a community to help guide the continued development of the articles about the series and its authors, characters, etc. toward even more quality articles. If you are interested, please add your name under the "Participants section" and please leave any comments or questions on the project's talk page or my user talk page.
