I've removed the crayon drawing. We should find an image of a fossil or a technical artist's recreation. - UtherSRG (talk) 19:09, 9 March 2015 (UTC)Reply

  • Yes, there are a whole bunch of pictures of fossils of Sardinian dholes on the internet, but they are all under copyright. Same case with technical artists' recreations. I drew the drawing, and I have tried my best. And it is not a crayon drawing. It is in pencil.--Scottishwildcat12 (talk) 14:40, 10 March 2015 (UTC)Reply

Cuon edit

Cuon, not fox. The Sardinian fox is a different animal. It's the Vulpes vulpes ichnusae G.S. Miller, 1907. https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vulpes_vulpes_ichnusae --Jack2008 (talk) 12:50, 20 March 2021 (UTC)Reply

You are correct, Hemiauchenia, I messed up. I had seen that the lede was about the species, and the taxobox is about the genus, and made the wrong assumption without reading further. However, there is still that disconnect. The lede needs a change to be about the genus, not the species. - UtherSRG (talk) 18:08, 10 April 2023 (UTC)Reply

Given they are clearly chronospecies, it's really a semantic distinction. It would be a mess to change the title and I think the evolution section gives enough context. Hemiauchenia (talk) 01:35, 11 April 2023 (UTC)Reply
There is no need to change the title, if "Sardinian dhole" refers to the genus as a whole. Just change the lede to be about the genus, and then discus the species in the body. - UtherSRG (talk) 11:24, 11 April 2023 (UTC)Reply
