Info from Hyena Project regarding social structure.

I have added some small notes regarding the spotted hyenas social structure (I.E. the fact that males can lead clans, and also that females can disperse from clans). However, if you feel like this should be changed, please feel free to do so.

Note: I am not in any way affiliated with Hyena Project. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Redstoneprime (talk • contribs) 15:44, 9 May 2020 (UTC)

Spot pattern.

I just thought I'd say that I think it would be a good idea to include how researchers often use the spot pattern to identify individual hyenas. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Redstoneprime (talk • contribs) 16:57, 10 May 2020 (UTC)

Hyena-project.com, etc.

Redstoneprime, I reverted your edits. Not only were most unsourced, hyena-project.com is not a WP:Reliable source. Stick to scholarly sources per WP:SCHOLARSHIP. Flyer22 Frozen (talk) 17:27, 11 May 2020 (UTC)

If you don't mind me asking: why aren't Hyena Project considered a "reliable source"? I thought all research groups were considered as reliable sources. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Redstoneprime (talk • contribs)

Redstoneprime, why don't you read our WP:Reliable sources guideline? Any ole website doesn't cut it. And, no, we don't include what any researcher or group of researchers state. If that was the case, our WP:Fringe guideline wouldn't exist. And since you are WP:Edit warring on this matter, I will ask editors at the WP:Reliable sources noticeboard to weigh in. In the meantime, Elmidae and Apokryltaros, can I get your thoughts on this? I'm not sure why Sumanuil allowed Redstoneprime's edits. Flyer22 Frozen (talk) 17:41, 11 May 2020 (UTC)
