Orphaned non-free media (File:Out of Oz Cover.jpg)

Thanks for uploading File:Out of Oz Cover.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box.

Clarity-While I haven't read the book and am not familiar with the series, I feel as if this article helped me gain a generalized understanding of what Out of Oz is about. Style and grammer-loved the style or writing particularly evident in the synopsis, while it was clear and straight forward in explaining the story, it was also interesting to read. Did not see any blatant issues with grammer, seems to be a good writer. Wikipedia: manual of style-The links provided were helpful in giving the reading a connection to further resources and key background information they may not otherwise know about. Accuracy and trustworthy-The author seems to be knowledgable on the topic and uses credible sources to back up his information. Organization-Article is well organized and easy to follow. The sections easy lead you through the topic and help you get a sense of the book and the important aspects relating to it. I also enjoyed the infobox and corresponding picture as it provided the audience not only with basic background information but also an image of the book thats being discussed.

Clarity- This was very clearly written and flows nicely. Style and grammar-The second sentence of your synopsis is a bit of a run on. Try to break that up. In the second paragraph in the synopsis put a period after Rain and start a new sentence with "Glinda knows it's time to part them both etc." In your release details section that should be two separate sentences. There should be a comma after "a boy named Tip" in the fourth line of your allusions and references section. Wicked Years should also be capitalized in that same section. In this same section you have a sentence which reads "Characters in the Oz books such as tik tok, jack pumpkinhead etc. isn't a complete sentence and should be revised. Wikipedia:Manual of style- You conform nicely to their style. It was good that you wrote your synopsis in the literary present. Accuracy and trustworthy- You seem to know the book very well, but shouldn't you include it as a citation source? It was good that you also included some negative reviews to avoid biases. Organization-This was very organized. I like the added touch of the side box with the picture and the quick info. Scherma3840J (talk) 16:43, 1 November 2012 (UTC)

The article is very clear, and actually intrigues me to the point of wanting to read this book. The style in which this page was written seems to stray away from bias and conforms to the boring standards of Wikipedia, so that is a good thing. The only suggestion I would have is to reread the second sentence of the synopsis as it is worded a bit awkwardly. The organization is good and seems to be accurate and trustworthy from the amount of links to other articles within your article. I might just suggest putting references in the article to the book a bit more just because that seems to be what Wikipedians want you to do. Overall great job though.
