Well then... this page could use a little work. Citations and a little clarity of discussion would be a good place to start - some of the text is incomprehensible. I'll do what I can when I get a moment, but I am currently working on other projects. Aderksen (talk) 22:51, 12 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

There is actually a considerable touch of interesting trivia in here from older versions of the page. I do not know why they have not been adapted back into the current edition of this page. I'll be mining this as a resource - and looking over the relevant literature for corrections and citations. I'd be thrilled if someone else wanted to help work on this page. The Mymarids are an important group to biological control... Aderksen (talk) 23:04, 12 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Good article[edit]

I came here after reading the following news story:

Yirka, Bob (December 1, 2011), "Entomologists discover first instance of intact neurons without nucleus - in fairy wasps", Physorg.com, retrieved 2011-12-01

I just wanted to say that this article was an enjoyable read and it is in a good state. Thanks for your efforts on this. Regards, RJH (talk) 21:36, 1 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you :) I have expanded the article some more with the PhysOrg article. Cheers.-- Obsidi♠n Soul 07:46, 2 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

new systematics[edit]

The genus Gonatocerus is recently splitted up in 14 genera (see also de:Genatocerini):

John T. Huber: World reclassification of the Gonatocerus group of genera (Hymenoptera: Mymaridae). Zootaxa, 3967, S. 1–184, 2015 doi:10.11646/zootaxa.3967.1.1

Maybe this should be mentioned in the article. Greetings --Josef Papi (talk) 13:20, 13 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Kubja link now resolves incorrectly[edit]

The link to the genus Kubja was dangling when it was added, but now points at an article about a minor figure from Hindu mythology (which is not a fairy fly). I'm not sure how these things are typically resolved. Ichoran (talk) 22:05, 21 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

If a name has a primary use as title of another article, then it's fixed by creating a disambiguation title for the taxonomic article - in this case, the wasp article will be Kubja (wasp), and I've fixed it. If "kubja" had instead been, say, an alternative spelling, or something other than the title of the article it linked to, then the taxonomic article would normally take precedence, and the other use would be disambiguated instead. Thanks for the heads up. Dyanega (talk) 23:13, 21 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
