Hello, Emily2930, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Ian and I work with the Wiki Education Foundation; I help support students who are editing as part of a class assignment.

I hope you enjoy editing here. If you haven't already done so, please check out the student training library, which introduces you to editing and Wikipedia's core principles. You may also want to check out the Teahouse, a community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to helping new users. Below are some resources to help you get started editing.

Chloroplast structure review

There were sections that were to technical and went over my head and especially would have went over my head as an intro biology student. One of these especially was the section about Plastoglobuli. This section never really defined what plastoglobuli are but instead went into more technical and science specific terms related to plastoglobuli. Another section that I thought has this issue was the "pigements and chloroplast colors" section. This section further broke down into subheadings such as chlorophylls and carotenoids. These sections were so specific that I think it was hard to stay away from the really technical terms to describe what these pigments are in a chloroplast.

Another issue I found was that some of the papers that were cited as being used as sources online were really only previews of papers and I couldn't actually read the entire paper without signing up for a membership or paying a fee. This would make it difficult if I wanted to do further research into the topic as a college student looking to this article for reliable sources.

I think chloroplast structure is so detailed and that this sub section within the article possibly glazes over some of the details that are important for understanding as a student. This could be avoided by making this section its own article and going into further, more thorough detail.
