It might be useful to indicate the halteres on the figure. At least I could not figure out where they are.

• I have changed the image. Here I think it is clear where the halteres are. --Pinzo 22:11, 13 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Split

I'm not going to be bold about this, but I don't really see why the insect information and the ancient Greek information share a page. In other such cases, the various meanings of a term are disambiguated, with entries for each. I think this especially appropriate when the topics are so different.

Normally, the unqualified term applies to the older meaning (which I'd assume belongs to the weights). Halteres (insects) would then be a separate entry.

If no objection arises here in ten days, I will make the split; editors who are more experienced in these topics are welcome to do so sooner. Xoloz 04:27, 24 September 2005 (UTC)

Okay, having realized that the continued content-conflation here is very bad for categories/stub purposes, I'm doing the split much sooner than I had thought I would. The same article doesn't belong in the categories Zoology and Ancient Greece. Xoloz 13:08, 26 September 2005 (UTC)
