# Talk:Fly

I believe there is a comma splice on line 14 of the main text under "Flight" in "Anatomy and morphology". Please correct me if I am wrong and feel free to ignore this if I am wrong, but replacing the comma with a semicolon should be correct. CoroneC0rnix-64 (talk) 09:12, 10 August 2025 (UTC)

NOT DONE: I don't see it, possibly because "line 14" depends on the browser, window size, and font size settings. The section seems to be properly punctuated. Chiswick Chap (talk) 09:17, 10 August 2025 (UTC)
Ah yes, sorry. I see where I was wrong. Thanks for your consideration, though. CoroneC0rnix-64 (talk) 10:43, 10 August 2025 (UTC)
No worries. Chiswick Chap (talk) 11:15, 10 August 2025 (UTC)

It's more than 9 years since this article was assessed as WP:GA, and as we all know how important (not to mention tedious, to be polite) reassessment can be, I just looked over the article superficially with this in mind. If anyone spots anything they think might fail a reassessment, I'm happy to pitch in to put it right before that happens. Cheers! Tony Holkham (Talk) 12:20, 10 August 2025 (UTC)

Better we do it, yes. Believe me, I'd be incensed if this were called in. This was one of the many I co-nominated all those years ago. I don't think we should be madly re-evaluating taxon articles all the time, as their subjects develop pretty slowly in comparison to more newsy topics. I'll have a look at it with all that in mind.

Absolutely, and thanks. I raised it because I've seen borderline reassessments triggered by a few missing citations which were easily found. This article is OK in that respect. Tony Holkham (Talk) 12:30, 10 August 2025 (UTC)
Yes, thanks. I'm revising the phylogeny of Nematocera, which will result in an additional tree here. Chiswick Chap (talk) 12:54, 10 August 2025 (UTC)
Quick note here since you're giving this attention right now, but I don't think the cited FLYTREE project phylogeny is really from 2016, since the phylogeny from the archived FLYTREE website (which is copyrighted 2015 but last updated 2012) actually appears to be pretty much identical to the one given in the 2007 Zootaxa paper also cited (except Culicomorpha and Ptychopteromorpha are the other way round and Aschiza (part) instead of Platypezoidea). The 2011 "Episodic radiations in the fly tree of life" paper is also associated with the same project but gives a slightly different phylogeny to the one from the website.

OK, let's lose the date... though it does seem the tree evolved a bit over the years! Chiswick Chap (talk) 18:05, 10 August 2025 (UTC)
