Picture needed.

[edit] Picture

Hello,

Recently, I've sent an email to the EWCP and to the Wildlife Conservation Research Unit, asking them if they could help Wikipedia in getting one or more free picture about Canis simensis

I've just received and email from Jorgelina Marino (Wildlife Conservation Research Unit), saying:

Hi Manchot!

I visited your wolf page and it's very good, with accurate information (my only comment is that the IUCN category for Ethiopian wolves is now endangered, rather than critically endangered)

If the wolf picture is for the website only, and so it can be at low resolution, then there is no problem with using one of the pictures in our website -let me know which one you choose and we will let you know the name of the photographer so that you can add a copyright note. Let me know if that's OK with you.

Also check the EWCP page:
http://www.ethiopianwolf.org/afroalpine/BaleMountains.shtml
That ahs information for you Bale Mountains National Park page

Cheers

Jorgelina

This is the reason why I'm correctig the category.

Please, also not that it needs a bit more work to obtain a really free picture. I'm working at it, and since I'm not really english fluent, any help to explain what is a free license and how it helps Wikipedia is welcome !

Regards.

[edit] Names

Is such a long list of names really needed? One odd one is "Kay Kabaro" which means red drum. Perhaps its supposed to be Qey qebero, meaning red fox? I added the relevant Amharic text for that, as it seems to be what the anon meant. Though he lifted the info from a site, I don't think there are copywrite problems. However, I do think that the foreign language names should be removed. We don't really need exact translations for the name in other languages in the intro unless they are still often used in English or are the language of the country in which the article's subject is found. — ዮም (Yom) | contribs • Talk • E 06:42, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

I Fix It. It's Endangered67.175.231.147 00:49, 14 October 2007 (UTC)

It is surely not extinct. The photo I added was taken by myself in the Bale Mountains NP in Ethiopia in august 2007. During our 2 day visit to the park we saw a total of 6 wolves on 3 different locations. - GertVankrunkelsven 14:49, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] "true wolf"

What is the scientific distinction between a jackal and a "true wolf"? Why are the three jackal species not considered "true wolves"? john k (talk) 18:24, 24 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Not changing?

People are saying they will change the Wolf's (Wolves?) status to Endangered, however the picture is still on CR and so is the link under it. Was there something I missed? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.193.56.207 (talk) 19:58, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
