It will take some time for me to gather sources and compare coverage in the article. Please bear with me. Shyamal (talk) 04:16, 15 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Many thanks for taking this on. Cwmhiraeth is co-nom. Chiswick Chap (talk) 06:41, 15 April 2017 (UTC)

Comments

 * Gynaikothrips ficorum, Cuban laurel thrips (Phlaeothripidae) is a dead link - but not sure if all those links really add value at all
 * Removed the dead'un. We can choose which others to keep. Chiswick Chap (talk) 16:54, 15 April 2017 (UTC)


 * pollination of cycads by thrips may be worth mentioning - as also other plants that have thrips as dominant pollinators - see https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4509684/
 * Added. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 09:17, 16 April 2017 (UTC)


 * Wonder if this might be of interest - http://rsbl.royalsocietypublishing.org/content/12/9/20160279

 * Did not find any mention of winged-wingless polymorphism - actually illustrated in the taxobox image
 * Added. Chiswick Chap (talk) 16:37, 15 April 2017 (UTC)


 * Gall inducing thrips may be of more interest than just the one mention in the caption of an image - https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Adriano_Cavalleri/publication/311004483_A_new_leaf-galling_Holopothrips_Thysanoptera_Phlaeothripidae_and_the_structural_alterations_on_Myrcia_retorta_Myrtaceae/links/583c358408aeb3987e2f5130.pdf

 * this is worth checking
 * Added. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 05:57, 16 April 2017 (UTC)


 * Also this nest-parasitic/inquiline mode of egg predation - Egg predation within the nests of social wasps: a new genus and species of Phlaeothripidae, and evolutionary consequences of Thysanoptera invasive behaviour. Biological Journal of the Linnean Society, 2013, 109:332–341.
 * That link didn't work but I have added a bit on mite egg predation. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 06:17, 16 April 2017 (UTC)


 * No illustrations of the asymmetric mouthparts? Perhaps something from https://archive.org/stream/morphologicalstu00pete#page/n45/mode/1up also https://archive.org/stream/phylogenyclassif25stan#page/162/mode/2up - many useful illustrations there that are better than the ones in the article now. (PS: have uploaded these to commons File:Aeolothrips.jpg and File:Melanothrips.jpg)
 * Ah, very useful. Added what seems to be the clearest of them. Chiswick Chap (talk) 16:51, 15 April 2017 (UTC)


 * A mention of "Physopoda" would be useful as also a bit of history (scan)
 * Added as synonym. Chiswick Chap (talk) 10:20, 16 April 2017 (UTC)


 * There is quite a bit of additional information (esp. on behaviour) in Resh & Carde, let me know if you want the relevant pages. (PS have sent it to an old email id of Chiswick Chap - PPS - Seems like I missed sending the full article - now sending the first few pages)
 * Thanks! Added a paragraph on competition. Chiswick Chap (talk) 07:15, 16 April 2017 (UTC)


 * Have added a case of ectoparasitism
 * Very good, thank you. Chiswick Chap (talk) 10:38, 16 April 2017 (UTC)


 * Have added information on wind-dispersal
 * I have checked content from BugGuide and added more material from better sources.
 * Thanks.


 * I have slightly reorganized the sections because "evolution" contained unrelated content. Please see if this makes sense.
 * That's fine.


 * The morphology section on the mouthparts uses a number of journals as sources but finally some of the statements are entirely incorrect - "The left mandible is larger, forming a narrow stylet used to pierce the cell wall of tissues" -the mandible is different from the maxillary stylets - I would remove several of those references and use content from Mound's entry in Resh and Carde.
 * Rewritten, replaced refs.

I think the coverage is much improved. Please check formatting of references and use templates wherever possible.
 * Thanks, and done. Chiswick Chap (talk) 06:43, 17 April 2017 (UTC)
