Category talk:Oz (franchise) books

message: "Wicked" and "Son of a Witch" don't belong in this list, anymore than, say, "The Seven Per Cent Solution" belongs in a list of Sherlock Holmes stories.
:As long as the Oz books aren't all categorized as children's books and I can find the adult Oz books in Adult categories. I have no issue with The Wicked Years series being in this category as they do take place in the land of Oz. I conciser these books relationship with the other Oz to be similar to the relationship between the 1978 and 2003 versions of Battlestar Galactica they are different interpretations of the same world and both belong in discussions of Battlestar Galactica just as both the Land of Oz books and The Wicked Years both belong a discussion of Oz. My issue is that this category shouldn't necessarily be classified as children's lit as The Wicked Years aside their are other Oz books that are in no way meant for children or young adults.

thread_title: The "Wicked" series doesn't belong here

message: While I understand that :Category:Oz (franchise) is so named in keeping with WP:CATNAME's rule "When an article topic requires disambiguation, any category eponymously named for that topic should include the same form of disambiguation, even if no other articles are likely to have an eponymous category" (though it is somewhat dubious whether that properly applies there, since there is no article "Oz (franchise)", but rather Land of Oz and List of Oz books, and I suspect that if there were a central page about Oz generally, it would in fact be named "Oz" without disambiguation—it's just that there's no need for such a page, suggesting the fat rat has tripped on his tail), I don't see how that extends to this category. Does anyone have thoughts on why this category needs "(franchise)" in the name? It's corresponding article, after all, is List of Oz books, which has no disambiguation. — the Man in Question (in question) 06:16, 31 May 2023 (UTC)

Talk:John R. Neill

message: One of the reasons for the realistic and modernized portrayal of Ozma and other Oz characters was that Neill was using real models.  For many years, the model for Ozma was his niece, Roberta Neill and the model for Dorothy, her sister Ann Marie Neill.  (John R. Neill was my great-great-uncle, Roberta my paternal grandmother and Ann Marie my great aunt. 
Please contact me for confirmation.  terry@terryirving.com.  I know I'm not familiar with the protocols of Wikipedia but I wanted to get this information in and would appreciate any help.

message: Click on <the discussion> link below to see the reason for changing this article to a Redirect page. See the article page for more (as of the current version). Dcattell (talk) 22:41, 25 October 2018 (UTC)

message: The reason for the redirect is because it was for a deleted article "Hsigo". The article was deleted due to its erroneous nature and unfitness in terms of encyclopedic content. In other words, an article on "Hsigo" as Chinese mythology has been determined as of 20:39, 18 October 2013‎ to not contain valid information justifying its existence. The redirect to "Xiao (mythology" is currently correct, due to the fact that someone using pre-Pinyin Chinese transliteration into English could well use this alternate spelling. However, if someone wishes to do an article on the Internet meme hsigo, then the present Article page should be turned into a redirect. Unfortunately, putting this note on the main Article page will probably just result in a drive-by deletion by someone who doesn't really care about the article content; so, instead, I will place it on the Talk page where it is more likely to be ignored (and, where casual Wikipedia readers won't see it anyway). I'm not sure why other article curation information in the form of template tags is so readily allowed and promoted on Article pages, though. Why is that? In fact, these easy-to-slap-on template inclusion tags seem to provide criticism on articles ("editorial comments"?) all across vast numbers of newer Start class articles, and a few Stubs. Examples include "Not enough inline reference" tags for articles with WP:Parenthetical referencing. 
Furthermore, and in conclusion, in the case of someone wanting to create an article on the Internet meme, then "Hsigo" should be made into a Disambiguation page, instead of its current status as a Redirect page. Dcattell (talk) 00:43, 27 October 2018 (UTC)
