Wild Republic (and Nayab models used by Wild Republic) Corrections

Aquatic Tube Billfish:
This billfish figure, listed by ToyAnimal.info as a Black Marlin, is not marked, so there is no reason it can’t be a sailfish. This probably what it was intended to be, given the shape of the dorsal fin.


Canadian Wildlife Tube Loon:
The color of the K&M Loon’s bill is yellow, and yet the entry is categorized under Common Loon. Change the species to Yellow-billed Loon.


Insects Tube Ant:
The K&M Ant should be given a “Red imported fire ant” page.


North American Polybag figures and associated Nayab Extralarge releases:
The incorrect page “Nayab Lynx Esxtralarge” should be merged into “Nayab Lynx Extralarge”, the photos from the former added, and “Eurasian lynx” and “Canada lynx” entered into the  “animal” section along with “Bobcat”.

(This multi-species format would be similar to the format of “Animal” section of the page for the Nayab Extralarge Badger)

The phrase “ so, the species identification here proposed is conjectural” would be unnecessary now that all possible options are linked into the entry.

Do the same with the Extralarge Beaver: enter “Eurasian beaver” into the “Animal” section with “North American Beaver”.

Rubber Bamboo and Epaulette Sharks:
The paint job of the first photo of the Epaulette Shark looks like the a Whitespotted Bamboo Shark (overall beige with white spots and brown stripes). This should be moved into its own page, of its own new species page, “Whitespotted bamboo shark” within “carpet sharks”.
The other photo, by cmj3, will be the sole representative paint job of the “K&M Epaulette Shark”.

Since this change would make the shark in “K&M Bamboo Shark” no longer the only bamboo shark by K&M, change the title of that page to “K&M Brownbanded Bamboo Shark”.


Rubber Lacertids:
The K&M Rubber Lizards 1 and 2 are a a Bocage’s Wall Lizard and an Sicilian Wall Lizard, respectively.

this job is done  

I also edited TAW according wit your suggestions to the ant and bamboo sharks. I will take a look at the other suggestions later.

I enjoy your identifications for these wall lizards, especially when there is one endemic from my country and with the name of a Portuguese personality. It is surprising for me this choice for a North American brand. I tried to check and I assume these are very hard to identify for me. They show color variations between specimens. Are you confortable with these identifications? Pictures are convincent but I am not confortable with the subject.

This is a late reply, but I think my IDs for the lizards are sound.

That ant is generic as they come and cannot be attributed to any species. Putting the 'red imported fire ant' name on it is futile. If someone wants to database it as that in their collection, that's fine of course, but could be misleading on TAI.

I noticed that there is no such page for fire ants anyway on the site.

there are two figures specifically marketed as fire ants: 1) the Safari Ltd HK figure and 2) the 2021 Takara Dangerous Creatures Encyclopedia ant (although the Takara figure is morphologically wrong for a fire ant)

So there is a page?
Then why is the link in “ants” red, and why does the page link to “wasps”?
And, why aren’t the Club Earth ants on there?

Navigation on TAI is often a pain. The 'go back to' is often several taxonomic layers up (or in this case, incorrect), so you have to go 'up the ladder' and then 'back down the ladder' to the desired level.

I understand. There’s lots of levels to keep track of.

The Wild Republic Ant is now moved back to a generic ant and removed from the imported red. Also, the link returning to the wasp page was fixed. It was a editing mistake. TAW taxonomy pages are adjusted and readjusted according with the species introduced, thus, often some levels are introduced what means loads of pages need to be edited. Thus, it is important that you keep checking these mistakes but more important was to find more editors for such a huge Wiki.

Now, can you please fix the Club Earth ants and add their species pages? And put the Kaiyodo Argentine Ant in the proper species page?

Sure, as a collector of anteaters I suspect it must be my personal task.
That is a lot of work actually but thanks for telling, I will take care of it.
