Placement at Grylloidea (?)

[edit]

Some rather disappointing comments above, but see no major objections here to the restoration of content at Gryllidae (done): in order to be taxonomically correct and avoid systemic bias. Personally, I am agnostic as to whether "crickets" should be placed at Gryllidea or Grylloidea – but suggest the latter to be consistent with the modern text quoted on this page … Roy Bateman (talk) 04:18, 6 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Translation

[edit]

In the Portuguese wiki, Grilo links to the taxonomic name rather than the common name Cricket (insect). I tried to change this but found that there seem to be links already created to other articles for Cricket (insect). I am not sufficiently familiar with the process to figure out how to fix this. Can someone walk me through the process? Vivafelis (talk) 17:29, 30 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

"Crickets" as an expression is a misnomer

[edit]

The "silent nature" sound effect commonly referred to is not actually crickets, but the sound of frogs singing. Shouldn't we document this misnomer somewhere? And a sound file of actual frog singing might make a good addition. JustinTime55 (talk) 15:38, 9 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
