L. Frank Baum
I think this is a very good article (much of which was written by Woggly). I have gone in and added a bibliography of Baum's books, as well as a reference section with a couple of biographies of Baum I have read which pretty much verify everything in the article. I guess I would like some direction to get this article to FA status. --[[User:JonMoore|&mdash;Jo nMo ore  20:24, 29 May 2006 (UTC)]] 02:24, 12 July 2005 (UTC)


 * Some suggestions:
 * 1) Add more dates, try and improve on just saying "later"-what year was he married, what year did he move to South Dakota, add the year he wrote his first book (Father Goose (1899))
 * 2) Add something/a section about his literary style, context within other contemporary children's literature, and his influence, if possible.
 * 3) Move the "Miscellaneous anecdotes" section (i.e. trivia) to below the "Baum's politics" section (as it is the least important section)
 * 4) Perhaps a short description of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, after all it is what he is primarily remembered for-the memorable characters for example, and brief references to when it was adpated to theatre and cinema.
 * 5) A Lead section is usually required for a featured article, but in this case, I'm not sure the introduction needs to be any longer. Deus Ex 22:16, 16 July 2005 (UTC)
