As has been noted, the current name OR-7 seems more like the highway name Oregon Route 7, which he could well have crossed to get from where he was to where he is. Journey (wolf) is a redirect and possible new name. How about OR-7 (wolf)? — EncMstr ( talk) 17:52, 28 March 2012 (UTC)
Val brings up an interesting point (see above). This article needs to address the purpose of naming the wolf and how it relates to conservation efforts. This "journey" has received a lot of media attention and anthropomorphism ("looking for love", etc.), both of which are worth mentioning. -- Another Believer ( Talk) 19:40, 28 March 2012 (UTC)

Relevant enough for inclusion: Cascade Mountain Wolf, Northern Rocky Mountains Wolf, Southern Rocky Mountains Wolf, Subspecies of Canis lupus? I don't want to overdo the number of links, but who knew? Fascinating stuff. I am glad this article is receiving so much initial attention. -- Another Believer ( Talk) 23:19, 28 March 2012 (UTC)
Is the image of the alpha Imnaha wolf a substitute until a picture of OR-7 can be added to the infobox? The current image would be great for the Background section. -- Another Believer ( Talk) 23:22, 28 March 2012 (UTC)
Today's news suggests that Journey is back in Oregon and is still being tracked. Surprisingly, it says that California updated his position daily on the web. Finetooth, is it hard for you to update the current map? I looked a little, but did not find the raw data used to make it. — EncMstr ( talk) 00:03, 14 March 2013 (UTC)

I reverted this addition, but wanted to post here as something to investigate. --- Another Believer ( Talk) 04:35, 26 January 2017 (UTC)
Nothing this addition, which I revert for poor sourcing/formatting, but something to look into... --- Another Believer ( Talk) 14:52, 13 March 2019 (UTC)
