message: The current image is of a five-lined skink (Plestiodon fasciatus) from the eastern United States, not C. egeriae. One AM (talk) 02:14, 12 August 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks for the info on :File:Cryptoblepharus egeriae.jpg (the title of the photo is no indication of its validity). I moved your post to the bottom per convention. Please click "new section" at the top of the page to add a new topic. I'll have to leave it for others to resolved the image issue. Johnuniq (talk) 02:30, 12 August 2017 (UTC)

text: I am not 100% sure on this but I think One AM is correct. This skink in :File:Cryptoblepharus egeriae.jpg is virtually identical to the juveniles found on Reptile Database's page on Plestiodon fasciatushttp://reptile-database.reptarium.cz/species?genus=Plestiodon&species=fasciatus. Cryptoblepharus egeriae would appear to have a far browner bodyhttp://reptile-database.reptarium.cz/species?genus=Cryptoblepharus&species=egeriae. Thoughts?

replies: text: The image is marked as a crop of https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Blue-Tailed_Skink_(4679003422).jpg and is described as being taken in New Jersey in the US. I believe this means someone misidentified this when they made the new file; I'll be putting in a request to rename it. In the meantime, I'll remove it from this page. -- Phyzome is Tim McCormack 15:29, 22 October 2017 (UTC)
thread_title: Wrong photo

message: If someone wants to expand this article, http://www.environment.gov.au/biodiversity/threatened/species/pubs/1526-conservation-advice.pdf is an Australian government document discussing the conservation status of C. egeriae. -- Phyzome (talk) 20:56, 22 October 2017 (UTC)
thread_title:  Conservation info 

message: , can you explain why you have changed "shining" to "shinning" in this article and Cryptoblepharus? I see "shining skink" in Naturalized Reptiles and Amphibians of the World, for instance. (Also, you deleted almost the entire article—can you please explain why? You didn't leave any notes in the comment field.) -- Phyzome (talk) 11:56, 20 February 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: again, when I do a Google search, shinning is the prevalent word, not shining.  Plus The Reptile Database and the IUCN references shinning rather than shining for common names.  I've deleted the content because that content refers to another blue-tailed skink genus (the American ones)….Pvmoutside (talk) 12:01, 20 February 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: OK, thanks for responding. (It would be helpful if this had been in the edit summary!) You say "again"—does that mean you left a message for me somewhere that I didn't see it? -- Phyzome (talk) 11:49, 21 February 2020 (UTC)
thread_title:  Shinning vs. shining 

message: I live near Atlanta GA, and we have a fair number of blue tailed skinks in the wild. The photo looks very similar to species I have observed, but maybe it's just a related species that is very close? I will see if I can snap a photo when it gets warmer for reference. 2603:9001:6A04:A23:62E4:6175:C29B:E233 (talk) 15:07, 27 December 2022 (UTC)
