 * My favorite little bloodsuckers! Just kidding, I hate these guys.
 * Many thanks for the review. Chiswick Chap (talk) 09:19, 23 January 2024 (UTC)


 * Shouldn't nail and marsh mosquitoes be bolded?
 * Done.


 * "Many are vectors of the Plasmodium parasite of malaria in birds" to "Many are vectors of the parasite Plasmodium, which causes malaria in birds"
 * Done.


 * "is among the best known" to "is the best-known species"
 * Done.


 * Instead of just linking the numbers for mya, link the entire phrase (eg 100 million years ago) so it's clearer what then link is for.
 * Done.


 * "respiratory siphon" Link or gloss?
 * Glossed.


 * Link Sahel.
 * Linked.


 * "flies from the surface" Unclear what this is supposed to mean.
 * Edited.


 * "ancestors of flies including mosquitoes diverged" maybe better as "ancestors of all other flies diverged from mosquitoes"
 * Edited.


 * "phylogenomic analysis" Explanation?
 * Added.


 * "Heafsey et. al." to "Heafsey and colleagues"?
 * Done.


 * Link type species.
 * Linked.


 * "Anopheles (nearly worldwide)" to maybe "Anopheles (with a nearly worldwide distribution)" and
 * Done.


 * "(Australia only) and (Neotropics)" to maybe "(restricted to Australia) and (restricted to Neotropics)"
 * Done.


 * "Bironella: confusa, gracilis, and hollandi" I've never seen a colon used that way, try parentheses instead.
 * Done.


 * "characteristics - wing" The hyphen should be some sort of dash. Also, isn't this just repeating what you said a paragraph ago?
 * Used an n-dash. Removed repeated statement.


 * The fact of the taxonomy being unsettled is not nearly controversial enough to require that many citations.
 * Fixed.


 * "about 0.5 × 0.2 mm" Needs convert templates.
 * Added.


 * "surface microlayer" Link or gloss.
 * Glossed.


 * "Anopheles mosquitoes...and pupae" somewhat clunky sentence to read.
 * Split.


 * "spider takes a detour" Unclear where the detour is from i.e. where the spider would've gone without the detour.
 * Edited.


 * "Global Malaria Eradication Campaign" Might want to add a couple words explaining what this was.
 * Done.


 * "Control programs...it is detected" This isn't exactly an encyclopedic tone; it's more instructional and should be reworded.
 * Reworded.


 * references number refer to this version:
 * Ref 25 verifies all claims made.
 * ref 28 (Mosquito Parasite Fights Infectious Disease : Discovery News) has a broken link.
 * Added archive.
 * Ref 20 verifies all claims made.
 * Ref 34 verifies all claims made.
 * Refs 29 and 30 verify all claims made.


 * The images are all appropriately used and licensed (I especially enjoyed the one illustrating the posture).
 * Noted.
 * No copyvio except for the appropriately licensed CDC text.
 * Noted.
 * That's all I have. AryKun (talk) 06:50, 23 January 2024 (UTC)
