Thank you very much indeed to the Museum staff for kindly giving me an information leaflet and further information, when I was creating this page. It is much appreciated. I hope you enjoy the page. --Storye book (talk) 12:25, 27 May 2009 (UTC)Reply

Bears

This is a bad joke for an encyclopedic article, never mind it being April Fool's. Teddy bears are not a species, and are not commonly called "brunus edwardi". —innotata 01:27, 1 April 2010 (UTC)Reply

Ah, I see, the name was a joke. Well, it still could be explained better during April Fool's, and the links to Teddy bear will have to be altered. —innotata 01:29, 1 April 2010 (UTC)Reply

Innotata, I was asked by a reviewer of the hook to add this material as explanation of the hook, because many people in the U.S. do not learn Latin. The link to Teddy bear was put there because the Teddy bear page contained the explanation below.--Storye book (talk) 10:26, 2 April 2010 (UTC)Reply

Brunus edwardii

In April 1972, issue 90 of the The Veterinary Record included a paper on the diseases of Brunus edwardii: a description of lost limbs and thinning hair suffered by an animal whose Latin name means "bear" and "Edward". The paper was accompanied by sketches of a teddy bear resembling Winnie the Pooh.^[1]^[2]

Assessment comment

The comment(s) below were originally left at Talk:Ilkley Toy Museum/Comments, and are posted here for posterity. Following several discussions in past years, these subpages are now deprecated. The comments may be irrelevant or outdated; if so, please feel free to remove this section.

== More information needed ==

About the history of the collection and of the Museum itself.
About individual exhibits: description; origin and history; details of manufacture; other relevant information.

== More images needed == As photography is not permitted inside the Museum, it is not currently possible to contribute images of exhibits, unless the Museum owners wish to do this themselves. Meanwhile, we can still possibly find more images of related topics, where those images assist the reader's understanding of the article.

== More citations needed ==

More inline references with external links are required, especially if more information is added.
