This reads like a joke

The wording of this article makes it sound a bit ridiculous. Kind of like it were describing the Sarlac Pit in Star Wars. "suggest that the black sea nettle somehow absorbs the intelligence of all its victims, who live on in disembodied torment" really? Where's the citation? Come on, people.

So... "Darkmaw"? The word and it's definition seem a bit made up. Any citations for this because a google search just turns up this entry and a few online sites which reference this very same wiki entry. After those few, google just gives sites referencing "dragonmaw" something completely unrelated. 24.125.217.34 (talk) 03:27, 20 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Frameless

Hello @Cryptic.rat: I am the editor who changed this [1]. If there is no caption it is better to use |frameless= and provide a larger image to the reader. |thumb= serves no purpose here. Invasive Spices (talk) 7 April 2022 (UTC)

@Invasive Spices: Sorry I didn't see this! I'll keep this in mind for the future, thank you for telling me! Cryptic.rat (talk) 15:27, 17 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

"Sarlacc jellyfish" citogenesis?

The common name Sarlacc jellyfish was added in July 2013 only to be removed this year for being uncited. The only source I can find for Sarlacc jellyfish that predates this edit is this website for the National Sea Life Centre, Birmingham; Google says this page was made on Nov 20, 2012. Did this aquarium invent this common name for tourism? It also appears in news articles for the aquarium.[2]

Furthermore, it seems citogenesis is starting with some websites quoting info directly from Wikipedia. So, can an invented common name become genuine if enough people adopt it? LegoK9 (talk) 03:02, 17 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
