Talk:Bioluminescence

message: I think there should be a minimum info on wikipedia on the term bioluminescsnt plankton, as scientific researches are heavily growing in the genre. There may be some mistakes that i have added. I don't care if my write up is kept or not, but can somebody add this topic in a proper way? (as my one is reverted)
==== Bioluminescent Plankton ====
Bioluminescent plankton are often found in various parts of the ocean, mostly in the surface waters mostly.
These planktons e.g. Dinoflagellates play a significant role in marine ecosystems. When a predator disturbs the water where these plankton are present, they emit light, creating a burst of luminous blue or green color. This sudden flash of light can startle predators and potentially reveal the presence of the predator to other larger creatures nearby.
Additionally, bioluminescent plankton can attract smaller organisms towards them. Many animals are drawn to the light, assuming it to be a potential source of food. This can lead to an interesting interplay of interactions in the ocean's food web.
===== Example of Bioluminescent Planktons =====
# Dinoflagellates
# Pyrocystis fusiformis
# Ctenophores

replies: text: I apologize for my lack of knowledge about how these talk pages and no doubt etitquette or good form here, I just am an average reader  of wikipedia rather than an editor, and I have no idea on protocol re: these talk pages or how to discuss. But as a regular user I felt I had to contribute my thoughts here, and say that as a reader I don't really want two separate phenomena and very different things conflated and merged into a single article because some editor said so. Should there just be one page for 'insects' with billions of sub sections? Not everything needs to be clumped together surely? It seems to me that it would actually be more beneficial for the average person seeking knowledge to be able to read specific pages, separately with more specialization than just cramming somehow similar things together. What's the actual benefit to that anyway, and going from the specific to the general? This is supposed to be an encyclopedia. Thank you. 1.129.109.22 (talk) 11:35, 5 May 2024 (UTC)
