Notes on improvement

[edit]
  • it's clearly missing some synonyms.
  • The map in the infobox should be switched out with the 2015 one. It is untrustworthy: it's clearly missing distribution such as Northern Macedonia, Albania, Romania, parts Ukraine, Austria -all areas it has bred in from the 1980s to the 2000s. The 2015 map is also better because it shows vagrant sightings.
  • The name 'European jackal' is only present in one reference, which is a Danish newspaper article dated to 2015, after a Wikipedia editor made/renamed this article in 2010.
  • Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire's publication dates are wonky as usual.
  • info on distribution in Ukraine would be nice. I understand it has also been sighted in Finland now

Otherwise this is a quite good article. Leo Breman (talk) 13:58, 3 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
