The primary image is WRONG

Resolved

– Disputed picture removed and replaced.

While the first image shown in the article does indeed show a cat with a stubby tail, IT IS NOT A MANX. It is a japanese bobtail. There are more cats than just the manx with shorter than average tails. The image really should be replaced with that of an actual manx cat. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.198.44.212 (talk) 03:21, 27 June 2010 (UTC)

Note: The image in question is, again, File:Manx breed cat named Inkku.jpg.

Well, without some kind of genetic evidence, we can't be sure. There are plenty of stubby Manx like this. However, a noted below, not all registries even accept them as valid examples of the breed, so the pic needs to be replaced anyway. — SMcCandlish Talk⇒ ʕ(^Õل^ō)ˀ Contribs. 18:58, 20 June 2011 (UTC)

Since at least 3 (4 counting me now) editors have said this is obviously a Japanese bobtail, not a Manx, an no one's said otherwise in over 4 years, I've removed the offending picture, and replaced it with a correct one. It's not a great pic, but at least it is not wrong. — SMcCandlish Talk⇒ ʕ(^Õل^ō)ˀ Contribs. 21:40, 20 June 2011 (UTC)
