| Editing Guidelines |
|
Please remember these guidelines when editing a film article:
- If a non-film article already exists with the name of the film that you are trying to create an article for, disambiguate and use (film) in the title: Film Title (film)
- When writing an article about a particular film, the general format should be a concise lead section, followed by a plot summary of no more than 900 words, production details, a cast list, a reception section, and references.
- Create an Infobox that tells all pertinent information about the film.

I have made extensive revisions to this article as part of an effort of mine to upgrade and improve the articles for Oz characters. The old article was basically only about the character as he appears in the classic books. I have added information about the subsequent movie as well as the modern revisionist works. --MatthewUND 05:24, 7 May 2005 (UTC)
I've moved this article from "Tin Woodsman" to "Tin Woodman". Though both names are in common use, "Tin Woodman" was the original name penned by L. Frank Baum, who thought it would be entertaining to have an oxymoronic name (is he tin, or is he wood?). If I ever find the relevant quote from the annotated edition, I'll add it in here. The article looked a bit silly under "Tin Woodsman" when the image was so clearly labelled "Tin Woodman". Finally, there were slightly more wikilinks to the page through the old "Tin Woodman" redirect. --Woggly 09:05, 21 September 2005 (UTC)
I added some bibliography and references to the political allegory interepretation (carefully noting that it is disputed territory). Not disputed is the fact that the Tin Man has a long history in European and American culture before 1900. RJensen Rjensen 02:56, 12 November 2005 (UTC)
