The word ‘Arachnocampa’ literally means ‘spider-grub’ and most of us wouldn’t usually understand this scientific term. However some of us with out even knowing have been already exposed to this type of insect. More formally known as the ‘glow worm’ Arachnocampa is found only in certain areas in New Zealand and Australia.
Wikipedia displays a page on Arachnocampa of somewhat precise truth. Formally being an eco-tour guide myself I studied the Arachnocampa at the Natural Bridge in a rainforest on the border of Queensland and New South Wales. With much knowledge in this area as I look at this article in Wikipedia I feel rather relieved that the information that is presented is quite substantial, and covers all the basic facts for a person to understand this topic.
The article seems to follow the Wikipedia guidelines for useful articles as most sources are referenced and exist as reliable sources in Australia and New Zealand. It is also a balanced and piece of work, as in only states the facts and suggests no argument. Nonetheless, it has been altered and problem resolved for accuracy and precision.
As for improvement and wider Wikipedia usefulness much more research needs to be done in order to enhance the expediency of this article. Much is still not known about this insect and is recommended to provide more information which may arise in additional community awareness.
Griffith University
Griffith University is an Australian public university, based in Queensland, with five campuses located between Brisbane and the Gold Coast. As a student of the university one would assume that you would know about the university, but some people just haven’t got a clue. If anyone ever wanted information on a university you would think that that you would go straight to the university website, yet as Wikipedia being the resourceful site as it is you can just look there and the article on Griffith University will tell you pretty much anything you would want to know for at least a ‘starting point’ information knowledge.Conversely, as the article suggests it needs a ‘cleanup’ or referencing from a third party for complete accuracy and precision. One would assume that Griffith University would have actually done this themselves already. As a result, guidelines have been followed to an extent, excluding the note for referencing and so forth.
The article is more or less biased and less balanced than one would presume. Not all important aspects of the university are mentioned, and significant data is left out to consciously or unconsciously make the university sound better than its counterparts. If changes were to be made on this article a recommendation to the university itself would be suggested. The actual university should gather accurate information itself and third party referencing should be used as reflected on in the article.
