Looking for pictures to help fix broken links on TAW!

[endogenylove]

Hello! This post is cross-posted from the STS forum. I know that the involvement with TAW is not nearly as large on this forum as it is on STS, but as they are more or less sister forums and we both benefit from the same resources, more eyes on this project means more likelihood of it being completed.

I recently joined the Wiki as an editor. I love this community dearly and I am so excited to have a chance to give back by working at the wonderful Wiki. One project that I would like to personally take on is fixing some or most of the pages with broken file links. I notice that there are some pages, mostly fish and mostly Kaiyodo, that when you look at them, no figures are listed or the images are broken. I mean no insult to any of the editors - they do fantastic work and the Wiki is an incredible resource with so many hours of hard work piled into it. I just would like to help by resolving some of these broken links.

However, in order to do that, I need the help of the community to gather some photos of specific figures! I don't personally own any of these figures, at least not yet, and so I am presenting here a list of specific figures that I need pictures of.

If any of you own any of these figures, please consider taking some pictures and posting them here or in the Pictures for TAW topic, and I will fix the broken pages.

If pictures of any of these figures are submitted for use on the Wiki, I will edit the original post to remove them. Pictures for the wiki should include only the figure in question, have decent lighting and focus (no need for professional quality, simply a clear and readable image) and if possible a small object for comparison (lego, pushpin, matchbox, etc.)
Thank you for helping me make my mark and help the Wiki!

A few of these are in my daily 'Museum' thread; you are welcome to use them (if a diorama-style image is OK). I know the Kaiyodo Kidako moray and the Furuta Oriental dollarbird have. Maybe some of the others. I have many of these but not sure when I'd have time for pics

Both of the mentioned figures have been scratched off the list. As a sidenote, Blaine, would you authorize the use of all of your museum posts for the wiki? As I was looking through your posts to find those pictures, I noticed many other pictures the wiki still lacks. But there is no pressure

From your list the only one I own is the Kaiyodo dorado. I have an already taken picture, but with no small object.

That is alright! The small object is not strictly necessary. Thank you for the photo!
