Hmm. So after I recently discussed the female spotted hyena in relation to aggression and dominance with another editor, you added this, which, in part, states, "Dominance relationships and social ranks in spotted hyena society are the result of disparities in social support rather than differences in intrinsic traits such as physical strength or aggressiveness." I find you showing up like this suspicious. But moving on, what you added does conflict with other research, as does this bit, where you WP:Editorialize by stating, "Contrary to what is frequently reported, female spotted hyenas are not substantially larger than males." That is why you had to state "contrary to what is frequently reported." Per WP:Primary and WP:SCHOLARSHIP, a primary source should not be used to try to contradict the general literature. Per WP:Due weight, we give most our weight to what the literature generally states. If there is a serious error, then it will have been reported in a secondary source. And per WP:Verifiability, "If reliable sources disagree, then maintain a neutral point of view and present what the various sources say, giving each side its due weight." I will also be making this clear at Talk:Spotted hyena. Flyer22 Reborn (talk) 20:44, 3 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
