Corrections for Toy Animal Wiki

Linde sea lion and seal.. Are they different figures really ? The seal looks a lot like a sea lion.

I think they are the same figure and Susanne pictured them from two different angles, however, I think only Susanne can give the definitive answer. It is a sea lion for sure. If they are, the best is to put both pictures on sea lion page and delete the link to the seal page because I doubt there is a seal figure or the sea lion is commonly called seal as it happens often.

I will ask Susanne then.

Cybister japonicus is now a synonym of C. sinensis:

I'm unable to upload a new pic on TAW

Christophe, I used my mobile phone to upload one of Adam’s pictures and it worked. It often fails when we forget to resize the picture but I believe it is not the case. :)

stag beetle corrections/comments

1. This is Allotopus rosenbergi: https://toyanimal.info/wiki/F-toys_Golden_stag_beetle

you have the right name for it but it links on the Lamprima aurata page (maybe an accident because they share the same common name)

2. Please check the identity of this: https://toyanimal.info/wiki/Neolucanus_insulicola

My figure was marketed as Neolucanus protogenetivus okinawanus. However, I know Yujin released special box sets and they may have changed it slightly and remarketed it as N. insulicola (if so that would be new to me)

3. K&M Garden Stag beetle: https://toyanimal.info/wiki/File:KMgardenStagBeetle.JPG

This is from the European Garden Tube and is most-certainly Lucanus cervus

4. Groovy Tube stag beetle: https://toyanimal.info/wiki/Innovative_Kids_Stag_beetle

Like several Groovy Tube figures, this was modeled after the Safari Smithsonian figure so can probably be attributed to Prosopocoilus confucius (which, itself is a community-based ID)

5. Schleich Mini stag beetle: https://toyanimal.info/wiki/Schleich_Mini_11206_Stag_Beetle

From a set of small European insects from a German company; you can call this Lucanus cervus

Blaine I have a few question before doing the job

1 - Allotopus rosenbergi.
I cant find a serious website to link this species page, so I can’t write a text to explain the species. I need your help.
On the Lamprima aurata page, there is a Yowie. Is it at the right place or it is also an Allotopus rosenbergi ?

2 - Neolucanus insulicola.
I can’t answer to your question but you may answer to mine. For you is it a Neolucanus insulicola or is it a Neolucanus protogenetivus okinawanus ?
Do I open a Neolucanus protogenetivus okinawanus page or do I let a comment on the current page ?

1. OK, I will help later
2. Yes, the Yowie is correct as L. aurata

For me is it Neolucanus protogenetivus okinawanus. I do not know any figures of N. insulicola; I would create a new page for the proper species.

I have this Blip Toys wasp identified as European paper wasp, Polistes dominula: http://toyanimal.mywikis.net/wiki/File:BlipToysHornet.JPG

This Blip Toys dragonfly as green darner, Anax junius: http://toyanimal.mywikis.net/wiki/File:BlipToysDragonFly.JPG

The Safari 205629 Pilot whale does not seem to be a long-finned pilot. The fin length to body length ratio falls within the range for both species and the shape of the flippers lack the obvious sharp arch that is present on long-finned pilot whales. The most concerning character are the number of teeth. Long-finned pilot whales have 16-26 teeth while short-finned pilot whales have 14-18 teeth. The Safari figure has, at most, 14 discernible teeth sculpted within its mouth. Therefore, the figure, while technically ambiguous at the species-level, aligns closer to the distinguishing characteristics of the short-finned pilot whale, along with the CollectA figure.

Very clever.

By the way, there is two "AAA octopus, small" page, is there a reason ?

No clue, when comparing the photos head to head, the positions of the corresponding limbs seem to suggest they are indeed the very same figure. It was likely an oversight.

So what about the smaller Safari Ltd pilot whale ?

The flipper morphology of the TOOB figure does indeed seem to be more consistent with the long-finned pilot whale rather than the short-finned pilot.

Ok thanks.

Wait! cmj3, are you also on the ATF as callmejoe3?

@Advicot

Yes.

Ahh okay, this makes sense now :)

I have some species corrections for the Wiki:
The Safari Ltd Sawback Turtle is not identifiable to species level and was probably identified as “Yellow-blotched” without previous knowledge of the different map turtle species.
Likewise, the K&M River Tube Turtle is just a generic Emydidae sp. water turtle. The shape of its shell doesn’t match that of a yellow-blotched sawback, or any other map turtle.
The Yowie Series 5 Darter is almost certainly labeled as an Australasian darter in the information sheet.
The Animal Planet fish series is most likely one of the many knockoff series based on the Club Earth fish, and should be corrected to fit the species:
https://toyanimal.info/wiki/Animal_Planet_Butterflyfish_1 =Threadfin Butterflyfish

https://toyanimal.info/wiki/Animal_Planet_Butterflyfish_2 =Yellow Longnose Butterflyfish

https://toyanimal.info/wiki/Animal_Planet_Butterflyfish_3 =Northern Scythemarked Butterflyfish

https://toyanimal.info/wiki/Animal_Planet_Perciform_Fish =Hooded Butterflyfish

https://toyanimal.info/wiki/Animal_Planet_Fish_1 =Flame Angelfish

https://toyanimal.info/wiki/Animal_Planet_Fish_2 =Blacktail Dascyllus

Nayab Turaco is most likely either gray or white-bellied go-away-bird. I will let the Wiki editors decide for themselves which it is.

AAA Red-crowned Parrot/Amazon (perched on branch) more closely matches blue-fronted parrot/amazon.

Welcome in our village Birdsage and it's great to read you.

This is very interresting, it seems you could named yourself Fishsage

I hope you don't mind but there is already a topic for TAW corrections, it's where editors usually post and read their ideas. I will add your post to the list.

THIS is done i will ask the members who edited the turtle pages to explain their choices.

I hope this thread is fused soon with the "Corrections for Toy Animal Wiki" thread :-)

Not sure if this is the right place to ask for help. Every time I open an image at the wiki, I get this error. Does anyone know why this could be happening?

I don't have the same error, Patrick. Luckily @tiermann can give you an answer.
What I see is this:

I get the same problem. I can see thumbnails, but when I click on the image, I get that error message. Been going on for about a month.

Also, everytime I go to the home page, it's the same four images (it used to randomly show images).
