  • Symbol confirmed.svg Article was created on 21 July and has a prose of 1879 characters. Article is neutral, well-sourced (I feel it would be good to have a few more citations) and free of close-paraphrasing issues. Hook is interesting and supported by [1]. QPQ review is also done, so this is good to go. Dee03 17:16, 29 July 2017 (UTC)
  • Symbol question.svg Hi, I came by to promote this, but I have no idea what "re-enter the plankton" means, so I don't understand the whole hook. Yoninah (talk) 21:05, 22 August 2017 (UTC)
Template:Ping The plankton are all the microscopic creatures that drift in the sea. This includes the larvae of many bottom-dwelling marine organisms and these settle on the sea bed when mature enough to become the adult form. Re-entering the plankton means resuming the drifting mode of life after settling and is very unusual. Can you think of a more succinct way of expressing it?
