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:

That ahs information for you Bale Mountains National Park page
Cheers

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.

I came to this article because a photo of an Ethiopian wolf was recently nominated for Featured Picture status. It seems like a strong article overall, but the Latin text and translation attributed to Solinus at the beginning of the "Historical account" section is a problem. I have removed this block quote for several reasons:
TLDR: The text and translation quoted here are not by Solinus, as claimed in the article; the sources cited to support the attribution to Solinus do not support it; and the application of the medieval description quoted here (regardless of authorship) to the species known today as the Ethiopian wolf is very uncertain, there being no consensus among scholars about the identification of the animal known as the θώς or thos in ancient Greek and Roman sources. In these circumstances, I think it's probably best to just omit this quotation altogether and start the "Historical account" section with the first modern scientific description of the species by Rüppell in 1835. So that's what I've done. Questions or different viewpoints welcome, of course. (Please ping me if you want a reply, since I may not be watching this article.)
