Uh I know this is weird but this one page is consistently crashing Firefox 3.011 (on Windows XP) at my office. I haven't tried at home yet.

I moved this page back to Hexapoda; hardly anybody uses hexapod for insects, and Hexapoda more consistent with other arthropod subphyla. Also, far and away more linksd were to "Hexapoda" than "Hexapod"
An earlier version of this page followed every group name with the Latin equivalent, ranked and bolded. This is unnecessary, since the same information is presented in the taxobox, and more importantly breaks (chops) the sentence up with extremely eye-catching (noticeable) yet tangential information, making it next to impossible (extremely difficult) to read. In short, it ensures that less information is conveyed, rather than more. Please don't. Also, the whole repeating ranks thing is an extremely bad idea since it takes an article about a group and turns it into an article about one particular classification scheme. This is simplifying nearly to the point of falsehood. -- Josh
The hexapod group has been shown to be paraphyletic, with springtails having evolved independently of hexapods. The reference for this conclusion is as folllows:

Labium is called both "lower lip" and "upper lip" in the article. SyP (talk) 13:17, 14 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
"The abdomen consists of eleven segments in all true insects (often reduced in number in many insect species)" What does this even mean? Also, it isn't sourced. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.24.43.97 (talk) 23:54, 22 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Unsourced, nonsensical material is subject to removal. The writer may have meant to say something else, but failed. Be bold!--Quisqualis (talk) 16:21, 21 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
