Phylogenetic relationship between wasps, flies, and beetles.

I want to know which two are more closely related to each other than to the third. Wikipedia is contradicting itself.

Does it go

 ╔═ wasps ══╣ ╔═ beetles ╚═╣ ╚═ flies 

or?

 ╔═ beetles ══╣ ╔═ wasps ╚═╣ ╚═ flies 

The cladogram here has Hymenoptera as sisters to the rest of the Endopterygota. The page Aparaglossata seems to agree that flies and beetles are closer to each other than to wasps.

But this page puts wasps and flies together in the hymenopterida and says the clade containing beetles is a sister to that.

If you have your finger on the pulse of recent progress in insect classification, could you tell me which reflects the current thinking?
