Hi, Madhuriatole.adt, and welcome to Wikipedia! It's great that you're contributing to some of the protist pages! :)

However, in future, please supply citations to support the information you add. In the Paramecium article, you made an interesting claim concerning the cell's ability to alter its shape in order to pass through narrow apertures. While it is observably true that Paramecia do this, I couldn't find a reference for your claim that it is accomplished through myonemes (as in peritrich and heterotrich ciliates). I did find one (rather old) source that specifically said myonemes had not been observed in Paramecium, and were not expected (https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1111/j.1550-7408.1968.tb02161.x?casa_token=F32c_pyH-YwAAAAA:yRMnT7JhjPfgOj2770L9wWQ4dn5j2MWBqOPCezUyiqNjx1nfFRaHtb130YrI0HcE9P6bGfbowhlDFg ). If you have a better source of information, please restore your edit with the appropriate citations. I also removed the comment concerning metaboly, since that term is normally used to describe the squirming movement of euglenoid flagellates (accomplished through the sliding of spiral pellicular strips).
