Change the oage name to- Edward's Wolf. It's been called this in prehistory based websites and in documentaries. Now that the scientific name of the animal has changed, there's no point keeping this old scientific Name. Ishan87 (talk) 16:00, 27 February 2021 (UTC)Reply
The same report which concluded the name change for dire wolf, also suggested the earlier canines of same clade such as Edward's wolf and Armbruster's wolf to be in the same genus- Aenocyon. Also they have been called Edward's wolf in many tv shows and documentaries where paleontologists called him that. So I think it's only fair if you change the name of the page and the scientific name. Ishan87 (talk) 05:31, 11 March 2021 (UTC)Reply
The researchers theorised that they may be related, without any evidence to support that position - there is no evidence that these are not genus Canis. A convenient theory for the researchers, but not supported by DNA analysis. Please read the Taxonomy section of this article - there is morphological evidence that C. edwardii may be the ancestor of C. latrans, the coyote. (We need a DNA analysis, which will be difficult at present but with the rapid development of the technology it is only a matter of time.)
Edward's wolf - I am glad that you have an interest in this wolf, but TV shows and documentaries are not WP:RELIABLE sources. Surely you can find a reliable source somewhere (perhaps you might do a search in Google Scholar). I have just linked a copy of Gazin's journal report; you might like to provide a description from it; it starts on page 499. Happy editing! William Harris (talk) 07:45, 11 March 2021 (UTC)Reply
@William Don't you think at least there should be a mention of the dire wolf connection study in this article? Btw, I'd like to know where you found it to be ancestral relative of coyotes? Bcz as far as I know, species tend to grow larger with evolution. It's unlikely that a wolf tier predator would become relegated to a jackal tier predator and still survive for millions of years.
