The map is wrong

The map is a poor choice, for it is the notoriously blundering endpaper from Tik-Tok of Oz, showing the Winkies in the east and the Munchkins in the west, when the reverse is unquestionably true. 173.21.54.229 (talk) 18:43, 1 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Winkie chant

The article says the Winkies in the 1939 film chant "All We Owe, We Owe Her." I think they're just making noise, though, to the effect of "Oh-wee-oh, yoooo." IMDB agrees with me. I've tagged the statement with {{citation needed}}. --BDD (talk) 16:55, 7 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

— There's no proof that they are chanting, "all we owe, we owe her" (and, in point of fact, the rumor to this effect always lists it as, ""all we own, we owe her," which makes more sense). It shouldn't be left as "citation needed," it should be removed (which I've done). If someone can provide a proper reference, they can replace it. AE Logan (talk) 13:32, 12 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Winkies aren't real.

I regret to inform you that the subject of this article is rather delightful nonsense intended for children. Winkies do not in fact exist. 2603:7081:1603:A300:CD0E:A3B3:89AC:EDF3 (talk) 14:55, 16 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
