Talk:Arthropod mouthparts

Rewrite proposal

I'm proposing a rewrite of this article to add generic detail. Intended article is at User:Heds/Sandbox. I have omitted the bee text and lep image, as I think insect mouthparts deserve a dedicated article covering all the specific adaptions to the basic mouthpart plan. It probably remains Start Class without references, but I'm keen to see if there is support for the direction of the change. Heds 10:05, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

Merger proposal

Support — I am not the proponent, but I fully agree that mouth (bee anatomy) should be merged into mouthparts. --Stemonitis 09:40, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Queliceras.GIF

Image:Queliceras.GIF is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Mouthparts common to all arthropods

Aren't several of the parts currently listed under the Insects section actually common to all arthropods? Such as maxillae, labrum, and labium? Perhaps these should be moved out of the Insects section as it gives the impression that only insects have these mouthparts. Kaldari (talk) 21:30, 9 February 2011 (UTC)

Mouthparts vs. mouth parts

Mouthparts vs. mouth parts. It seems to me that it should be "Mouth parts". --Polinizador (talk) 20:44, 20 December 2011 (UTC)
