Uncited changes to taxonomy

An editor has been making multiple changes to the taxonomy in this and related articles without providing any sources. I've reverted these for now; obviously we'd like to have an up-to-date taxonomy and phylogeny, but since uncited changes cannot be verified (WP:V) this is not an acceptable approach. It will be fine to have the changes reinstated supported by suitable reliable sources. Chiswick Chap (talk) 08:55, 28 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Spheciformes

The claim that Spheciformes has been has been abandoned doesn't seem consistent with the entries at the Spheciformes page, which is based on the relevant entry on the NCBI taxonomy browser. Suggest removing the claim of abandoned. I agree that the use of the term has changed over time. Klbrain (talk) 07:53, 9 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The NCBI taxonomy is rather outdated, and also very explicitly gives the following disclaimer: "Disclaimer: The NCBI taxonomy database is not an authoritative source for nomenclature or classification - please consult the relevant scientific literature for the most reliable information." The "relevant scientific literature" did indeed abandon Spheciformes well over a decade ago. Dyanega (talk) 22:42, 10 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
