The most resources that you used to develop this article,focused on the "Iranian wolf (Persian wolf)" word.there are many more articles about this kind of wolves in books too.

It would be nice to get these subspecies sorted out correctly. ErikHaugen (talk | contribs) 06:24, 25 December 2013 (UTC)

text: This confused me too some time back. It looks like they are definitely the same species and I've just made it into a redirect...now how about a mention or clarification about this "Iranian Wolf" name in the main article? Thank you IP, for waking us all up. -Ugog Nizdast (talk) 18:38, 25 December 2013 (UTC)

thread_title:  Iranian Wolf not Indian 

message: I have updated the Taxonomy section of the Himalayan wolf and the Indian wolf to reflect the research of Sharma and Aggarwal. The research findings were based on a very limited number of specimens which did not convince the CITES Animals Committee that these were separate species, and a call for wider research was made. However, the committee did approve the use of the name be entered into the species database as a synonym of the name under which it was listed. What this means is that in the CITES species database, researchers may enter information under the name Canis himalayensis as long as it was a sub-topic of Canis lupus chanco, and the 2 haplotypes proposed within the Indian wolf to be entered under Canis indica as long as it was a sub-topic of Canis lupus pallipes. This is what I have captured with the synonym entry for each. As far as MSW3 is concerned there is no Canis himalayensis nor Canis indica, and therefore as far as zoologists are concerned these do not exist. Nonetheless, based on the limited samples that were provided by the Aggarwal, as far as evolutionary biologists are concerned there is a genetic difference and sequences are being compared in research reports under the names HW and IW. I trust that this information will help stop some of the disruptive edits that have been made recently. Regards, William Harris •  talk •   21:52, 20 August 2015 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: I added some information on the size and weight of Indian wolves, plus a section for hunting and predation on livestock. I am working on limited sources due to information on this subspecies being generally hard to find, and would like to see more development on the two sections with more solid sources. I am using the numbers from the National Studbook, 17-25 kg, and the average weight of 20.75 kg from an article concerning the harmonic vocal repertoire of the Indian wolf. I also checked the original sources for [3] and [4], both of which don't support the claim of 25 kg, hence deletion. There are indeed some sources claiming that the Canis indica is smaller than the Canis lupus pallipes, although more research is still needed to come to the conclusion if the two should be distinguished given the limited sources and the lack of consensus.Zirlwyn (talk) 01:24, 2 January 2020 (UTC)
thread_title:  Indian Wolf Size, with Added Sections 

message: One sentence claims that the Iranian attitude towards wolves is "ambivalent," but then describes them being characterized as "demons" or used in "cautionary tales." In these tales, I've only found themes of "wolves will trick you and eat you." Unless there are some more positive stories in the culture, I think the word "ambivalent" should be changed. 184.67.135.194 (talk) 21:21, 7 October 2022 (UTC)
