Bio:

Hello and welcome to my page. My name is Paul Weisenberger, I'm twenty four as of late 2018 (1994–Present), and I come from a background of technology. I was born and raised in western Washington and have a German/American family tree. My goal is to become a biomedical engineer and of this year I'm starting on my path. I grew up in Granite Falls and am currently still living there. I graduated at the town's local high school a couple years back and took some time off to solidify my desired path. Graduating high school, I had 4+ years of drama and 20+ performances under my belt as it was one of my main interests at the time due to my outgoing personality in my teenage years. Nowadays, I'm usually quiet, orderly, patient, and pacifistic regarding personality traits. My hobbies and interests come from a long history of internet delving, computers, and videogames. Currently, my hobby is playing Mercy in the videogame Overwatch and upgrading things in my day to day life. I'm not allergic to anything and enjoy sushi as a preferred food though I'm not picky unless the food is moderately spicy. I attempt to pet every animal I'm allowed to and will fawn over cats. Regarding music, prefer instrumental without lyrics, whether upbeat or relaxed.

Biomedical engineering, prosthesis, neuroprosthetics, osseointegration, and similar fields will catch my interest when wanting to add on to Wikipedia. I do look forward to learning formal wikipedia format as I have submitted content to fan-based wikipedias in the past.

I have listed some of my main accomplishments below.

Article Critique

When I was introduced to the game called Half-Life 2 in my childhood I was enthralled by the quality of its story, graphics, and imagination. Since then Half Life 2 has been awarded countless insignias of excellence, placing it on the list of the best games ever made. Fourteen years later, I'm here with an article critique on arguably the most iconic enemy in Half Life 2, the Headcrab. I visited the Headcrab page on Wikipedia and found three aspects of it worth commenting on: lacking information, absence of images, and a low number of citations.

Lack of Information

While the information on the page does cover the basics, it lacks information in some sections that could be considered necessary to fully understand the topic. Relevant information on how Headcrabs move, what sounds they make, and how it engages their prey are all left out. Oddly enough, some of these topics are covered in the poison Headcrab section, but are left out in others. Each variant has its own unique characteristics that should be described separately to properly differentiate them.

Absence of Images

The entire page only hosts one image of the Headcrab, comparing the model variations between the first and second game. The image portrays the normal Headcrab from a single angle, which I consider unacceptable due to there being three variations of the Headcrab and the angle shot does not show its mouth on the underside of the Headcrab. At one point there were images of the three variations, as indicated on the talk page, but were removed by a bot due to the submitter failing the "fair use rationale" requirements. This could be alleviated by re-submitting the images with a filled out template and citing a specific explanation or rationale for why each image is permissible under fair use.

Low number of Citations

Many of the facts or details given about the Headcrab are without citations. In the first subheading "Depiction", there are twelve different facts about the Headcrab yet only one source. The last sentence of the "Depiction" topic states there are multiple creatures that prey on Headcrabs, even linking each creature to its respective page, but no citation on where that info was found. Of the eight citations listed for the entire article, two cite "top 10 lists" from commercial websites which focus heavily on the author's emotional opinion, and of the remaining five, three are outdated or missing.

Conclusion:

As a whole, I would consider the Headcrab page to be in its infancy, with the basics completed while lacking in many areas. The article does a nice job covering the Headcrab's background, tolerances, and how they infest a host. If in depth information, images, and citations could be provided, I feel the page would reach the adequate standard of Wikipedia.
