Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute to the encyclopedia, but when you add content (particularly if you change facts and figures), as you have to the article Hyrax, please cite a reliable source for the content you're adding or changing. This helps maintain our policy of verifiability. Take a look at Citing sources for information about how to cite sources and the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. Anaxial (talk) 20:22, 12 November 2009 (UTC)

Hi. I'm sorry that we reverted your addition (again). Please check the talk page Talk:Hyrax where I opened a discussion on common names. I'd love to believe that they were referred to as mountain otters, but you didn't provide a citation, and there's no indication that I can find on the internet for such a thing. The question of "common names" is a thorny one on Wikipedia, but in general, if a name isn't common, it can't be considered a common name. Arikk (talk) 20:24, 12 November 2009 (UTC)
