Hello!
I'm a devotee of predatory arthropods and I'm new to here. I did a large-scale edit on the article of Peruvian giant centipede. Please have a look on it to see if my edit is proper or valid.

I propose changing the portal icon for
Portal:Arthropods in the Portal template from
Cercophonius squama.jpg to
Butterfly icon (Noun Project).svg. The former may be a featured picture, but at these resolutions it's an unrecognizable blob. The latter is a clean, recognizable icon.

I originally suggested this as a template-protected edit request, hence the quoting, but I was told to establish consensus for the change first.

Maxillopoda used to be a article on a (non-monophyletic and now unaccepted) class of crustaceans, but was converted to a redirect to Crustacean in December 2022. However, the Crustacean article still links to "Maxillopoda" in both the Classification and phylogeny and Fossil record sections, which results in the article linking to itself via a redirect. Furthermore, the Crustacean article doesn't seem to adequately explain what Maxillopoda even is or was, in terms of what taxa it included. It wasn't until I looked back to the last version of the "Maxillopoda" article before it was turned into a redirect ( here) that I learned anything meaningful about the taxon. This does not seem ideal at all to me.
So, I'm wondering: wouldn't it be better if Maxillopoda was restored as an article, but converted into an Obsolete arthropod taxa category article like Thysanura? Monster Iestyn ( talk) 15:03, 29 August 2023 (UTC)
Anomalocarididae is an outdated term, now only used for Anomalocaris and Lenisicaris. As the correct term for the group containing (the current definition of) Anomalocarididae, Amplectobeluidae, Hurdiidae/Peytoiidae and Tamisiocarididae is now Radiodonta, I suggest this category be renamed.

Apparently there is a millipede called Anthogona Britannica which is endemic to the British Isles. It doesn't have an article on Wikipedia. Can we change this? Mjroots ( talk) 18:25, 13 December 2023 (UTC)
Hi Arthropods! I have put a proposal on Template talk:WikiProject Arthropods about tweaking the parameters of your project banner. Please comment there if you have any questions, thanks — Martin ( MSGJ · talk) 17:49, 1 May 2024 (UTC)
