Dingo
Hello, thanks for your edits on Dingo. Although I sympathise with your position, I have reverted them to avoid yet another edit war breaking out on that page. You don't want to be getting all of these people agitated once again - Talk:Dingo Because the article falls under WikiProject Mammals, we are required to use Wozencraft's classification of C. l. dingo due to WikiProject Mammals, at least for now.

There are two points of view as you have found in the article - the dingo is regarded as a separate species Canis dingo or the dingo is an early dog Canis familiaris. I would suggest that the dingo is the sister of the modern dog and they share a common ancestor - what that ancestor was we are not sure. No researcher is yet directly stating that a speciation event has occured, and they probably should. There will be a major study released later this year that will answer many of these questions. I ask that you leave the taxobox alone for now, and there will be opportunity for adjustment once the report is released. William Harris •  (talk) •  04:41, 20 January 2018 (UTC)
