Removed "Aeriaprimataphobia"

This is cute, but unreferenced, and only 7 google hits, and sounds fabricated. Ethan Mitchell 02:13, 29 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

A relatively uncommon phobia, Aeriaprimataphobia is the fear of primates that can fly. In extreme cases the victim of this condition fears any form of descending monkeys. In one severe case a young man from South America was terrified of the flying squirrels of the area and was incapable of watching Animal Planet due to seeing a show on lemurs. The fear of flying monkeys is sometimes mistaken for fear of a person's hallucinations. Any case in which the monkeys are not material is not considered part of Aeriaprimataphobia.

McFarlane toy removed

I've removed the following:

In Todd McFarlane's action figure line "The Twisted Land of Oz," two flying monkey action figures (with a bloated Munchkin) are available as part of the "Collector's Club." According to the accompanying story, they are the Wizard's minions, transformed into steampunk cyborgs due to "Ozmic power."

I don't think that this toy line is sufficiently notable to merit inclusion in the article for flying monkeys, and have already asked if there are any objections at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Oz and Talk:McFarlane Toys. If anyone has evidence that this toy line and its accompanying story were particularly noteworthy (e.g. coverage in mainstream media), it can be restored. —Josiah Rowe (talk • contribs) 19:57, 14 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Political interpretations: Pearl Harbor?

This seems like an out-of-place reference. As the book was published in 1900, and the movie made in 1939, any similarity to the attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941 would be strictly accidental. Similarity in the film version to Axis air strikes may be intentional. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.191.166.202 (talk) 18:54, 19 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed. I've removed that. If anyone can find a reliable source making an argument for the flying monkeys as Axis air power or something similar, it can be restored, but as it is it looks odd and anachronistic (not to mention uncited). —Josiah Rowe (talk • contribs) 04:28, 26 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Redundancy in Details section

The section titled Details repeats the account of Quelala, Gayelette, the Golden Cap, and subsequent use of wishes. The section should be edited to state this information only once. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.191.166.202 (talk) 18:59, 19 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Origin of the Psychological Term

Series 9 Episode 9 of Frasier - Sharing Kirby. Aired 20 November 2001. A side story has Frasier splitting with his agent, who sends a subordinate to win Frasier back. He refers to her as a winged monkey. Is this the first use of the phrase ? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.161.139.124 (talk) 21:20, 8 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
