Warnowiaceae, Ocelloid

 * ... that Warnowiaceae have an "eye"? But, but, I thought eukaryotes are only one celled. ...
 * ALT1: ... that single-celled organisms called Warnowiaceae have an "eye" so complex it was once assumed to belong to a multicellular organism?
 * ALT2: ... that single-celled organisms called Warnowiaceae have an "eye" that is one of the most complex known sub-cellular structures?

 * Comment: Thanks for the inspiration! Can I add ocelloid to this nomination? (Created by, expanded by me.) Will add QPQ later. Opabinia regalis (talk) 18:51, 24 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Comment: I thought it was prokaryotes that are unicellular, while eukaryotes are multicelluar.Red Fiona (talk) 01:11, 25 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Prokaryotes are unicellular, eukaryotes can be either. These particular ones are unicellular organisms with internal structures made out of big clusters of endosymbiotic organelles that in turn derive from other unicellular organisms (mitochondria = bacteria, plastid = red alga). Those structures are so complex that they've been mistaken for, or hypothesized to be related to, actual organs in multicellular organisms. I think Ancheta was going for a joke about eyes being necessarily multicellular. A little hard to parse for the main page though :) Opabinia regalis (talk) 01:37, 25 July 2015 (UTC)

 * Symbol voting keep.svg These two articles are new enough and long enough. Any of the hooks is acceptable, being appropriately cited, mostly in the Ocelloid article. The image is suitably licensed, the articles are neutral and I detected no copyright issues. I have added Opabinia regalis to the credits for Ocelloid, but I am not sure I have done it right.
