Corrections for Toy Animal Wiki

Hello,
I had the same failure message last week. I tried to cklick on all messages and did what was written in the messages. Suddenly this error message was away and now I can see the pictures like before.
I think you have to change something.
Benno.

It worked perfectly! Thank you so much!

Was just looking for something on the TAI and noticed this:

https://toyanimal.info/wiki/Lido_Giant_Ground_Sloth

That figure is not a ground sloth--it's the pantodont Barylambda https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barylambda

stag beetle corrections/comments

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

In some spare time this afternoon, these corrections are all made at TAI ; )

I see that the information at TAW is changed.
Look here:

I see what confused me. It still shows on this page:
https://toyanimal.info/wiki/Ground_sloth

I don't know if this is a mistake, or a deliberate choice to keep domestic breeds out of the species listings, but the other day I noticed there's no link to the domestic rabbit page via Lagomorpha

Just thought I'd point it out, it took me forever to find out how to get to the pet rabbit models and wouldn't want anyone else to go round in circles re-reading it hunting for the link if it IS meant to be there, buy equally I'd understand why you're keeping them out if you want species only, rather than our human-created selectively bred pet and livestock breeds.

Hello sbell,
you are alright!
On the side you say, there was still the old name. I have change it now.
Thank you very much for the hint.
Benno.

They are linked from Leporidae. - however there is something wrong with that structure.

OK, I deleted the page for Leporidae and the Lagomorpha page makes all the work once there is a pika.

According to poll results, we should change the species of the Nayab Sika Deer to Thorold’s Deer.

There should be a pika, there's one in the Animaltales series from Kaiyodo

Looks like you just skipped my suggestion!

We have on TAW the pika from Chocoegg series 5.
What I mean is that I deleted the Leporidae page and all species of Leporidae and Ochotonidae are linked directly from the lagomorpha page.
It was very confuse before. Lagomorpha had links to all wild rabitt/hare species and the pika but not the domestic rabbits.
Leporidae had links to all wild rabbits/hares and to domestic rabbits, no pikas once they're not leporids.
To keep both pages, I needed to remove all species links from lagomorpha page and put links to the two families (Leporidae and Ochotonidae). As there is only a pika and to simplify it, for now all wild rabbit/hare species and pika are linking directly from the Lagomorpha page and the Domestic rabbits are also now linking from there. No pages for these families for now.

My interpretation of the poll results is that the species identification is quite ambiguous. Probably this figure should be listed as a non identified deer but I have bookmarked the page and I will probably follow the poll results putting a note on it.
I enjoy all your effort, can you take a look at this page , I added recently these mini lizards and amphybians and their species need to be confirmed once the brand does not provide identifications but I have still many other pages to be worked.

Uromastyx is another Komodo Dragon or other monitor.
Bearded Dragon is a Marine Iguana.
All others seem to be correct.

Thanks, bearded dragon was changed once it was my trial based upon a Wild Republic plush with the same colors. i didn't noticed the sculpt was not of a bearded dragon. Uromastyx I need to think because i can list two figures with the same identification. Is there a monitor with a short snout?

I have the same set. The lizard in question has always kind of looked like a chuckwalla to me

This model in the K&M section is just called a white butterfly. Isn't it a peppered moth?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peppered_moth
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peppered_moth_evolution

https://toyanimal.info/wiki/K%26M_Large_White_Butterfly

and I would suggest this vulture to be a turkey vulture (commonly called a buzzard in the American West):
https://toyanimal.info/wiki/K%26M_Vulture

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turkey_vulture

That butterfly is not, in fact, just identified as a generic butterfly that is large and white; it is the species (Pieris brassicae) called the Large White. It is nothing like a Peppered Moth for your information; you were probably just guessing. This confusion wouldn’t have happened if the entry had used capital letters to denote a species.


The Peppered Moth (not “peppered moth”)



The “Large White” or “Cabbage White”. (not “large white” and definitely not “white butterfly”; I am not sure why you read it as just “white butterfly”) The lowercase “butterfly” can be added to the names (e.g. Large White butterfly) to give context when necessary (because butterflies, as well as many hummingbirds, have such needlessly whimsical and abstract common names that the average reader would not know that it was butterflies or hummingbirds that are being discussed).

(Sorry, I am quite sensitive about species nomenclature)

The vulture was already identified as a Turkey Vulture the whole time.

This is why we should use capital letters for species names.

Because the "butterfly" is part of the english garden tube. But given I wasn't aware of the butterfly species I appreciate the correction.  The vulture just says vulture on the tube collection page. I suppose I should have specified. My mistake.

I do now see that the Desert Tube page just says “vulture”, but the Large White is found in Europe, including the UK. There isn’t much of a case for not calling this a Large White.

I explained I wasn't aware of this species, I agree it is that.
