The African wild dog was involved in an attack at the Pittsburgh Zoo. So can this be on this page? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:18D:4700:2D30:7890:4CD2:D4C7:D38E ( talk) 18:33, 3 December 2022 (UTC)
I would like to add a statement saying that African wild dogs cannot crossbreed with domestic dogs or wolves. I made this edit but (bringing in @ Mariomassone) someone reverted it saying "already implied in taxonomy". Wikipedia is not just for scientists and since the species is called African wild dog it isn't clear to the average reader whether or not it can crossbreed -- hence, adding such a statement would be helpful. Anyone else have any comments on this? If there are no more opinions, I'll look for Wikipedia:Third opinion BrightOrion ( talk) 09:32, 9 April 2022 (UTC)

tag had been placed after the statement when it should have been before; and BrightOrion was in breach of
WP:INTERLEAVE by splitting up Jts1882's post. --

Can someone tell me why my edit was reverted? I did make sure to provide a source to my edit (in this case the official website for one of the lodges in the reserve). Hyenaboy ( talk) 09:17, 29 August 2022 (UTC)
so, it doesn't matter if the blog is the official one of the reserve? I would have thought it would, since the lodge owner (who are no doubt the ones who made the blog) no dout know what goes on in the reserve. So, I'd say a lodge mentioning it is 100% proof that it happened. Then again, it is entirely possible they made a mistake? Hyenaboy ( talk) 12:09, 29 August 2022 (UTC)
If you don't mind me asking: what does "slanting" mean? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hyenaboy ( talk • contribs) 12:25, 29 August 2022 (UTC)
Blogs are not acceptable as sources, see WP:BLOGS. – BhagyaMani ( talk) 13:45, 29 August 2022 (UTC)
The Pack is incredibly large, but there are documented cases of African Wild Dogs predating upon Adult Cape Buffalo, as the Clip provided below shows.

This is an interesting, mature, and well-structured article, and I have rather few comments to make on it.
The first paragraph of "Threats and conservation" from "Surveys in the Central" to "trading lion skins" is mainly off-topic (lions not dogs). Please cut it down to focus on the dogs.
This is a largely well-constructed article on an important topic. With the few changes indicated, it should soon make a worthy Good Article. Chiswick Chap ( talk) 14:38, 30 May 2023 (UTC)
This article has been extensively edited by a sockpuppet account ( User:Dancing Dollar): have any of their edits been problematic? Jarble ( talk) 18:45, 10 July 2023 (UTC)
