A significant number of editors who are uploading their own photos of insects to Knowledge are coming here via iNaturalist. Note that (last I checked), the general default licensing option on iNaturalist is CC-BY-NC, which is not compatible with using images on Knowledge. If you have an iNaturalist account, you can change your settings to have a personal default licensing that is compatible with Knowledge such as CC-BY-SA or CC-BY (it's also possible to choose different licenses individually for each image you upload).

Personally, I think
Knowledge should following the three-family classification set up in Damgaard et al. (2008), which I think might be the most accepted one at present (but I could be wrong). But I wanted to check here first, in case I shouldn't update Knowledge accordingly with this classification
796:
there, but you can note tentative IDs in the file description. That way you needn’t worry about complications from “prior publication” elsewhere, you have the option of simply posting a link instead of uploading the file to online forums, and if new info comes to light you can edit the description
590:
Easily done. It's not really clear how ITIS update their records. I assume it is literally the record for the taxon that has been verified, not the classification within that taxon. I tend to treat ITIS as a last resort as so many parts are very out of date and it's hard to work out which sections
724:
I've become interested in contributing to this project because I have a hobby of taking photos of local insects in my area, including ones without images yet, and I would be willing to upload them here to help the project. However, I am not an expert, so I don't know how to verify that the photo

I would be inclined to follow
Species File as that has the most up to data species checklist and we can use it for the whole classifcation rather than mixing sources. It uses one extant family, but recognises the three Damgaard family groups as Austrophasmatini, Mantophasmatini and
500:
Checking Google
Scholar now, there are 87 results for "Austrophasmatidae" and 20 for "Tanzaniophasmatidae", while "Austrophasmatini", "Tyrannophasmatini", "Tanzaniophasmatinae" each have only one result, Arillo & Engel (2006). "Ensiferophasmatidae" has only two results,
496:
To be fair, ITIS is also complete and reviewed this year, which means we could use that without needing to mix sources. What I was trying to say is that I think the actual scientific literature in recent years prefers to use the three families classification so far as I can
535:(and it is not implemented in either ITIS or Species File at present), so I do not know for sure which classification they are following, but I see on Plazi that they cite Klass et al., 2003 and Wipfler et al., 2018 in their treatments.

Sounds like three families might be the way to go, but whichever it ends up being, it would be a good idea to include mention of these alternate taxonomies on the relevant articles.
