The IP 88.71.58.254 posted the same material at Robot that you just posted. I'll copy the same questions here that I posted at 88.71.58.254's userpage:

Hi. The information from Hitchhiker's Guide might be useful in the article Robots in literature; I'm not sure because I haven't worked with that article. It's not useful IMO in Robot, because this article can only touch briefly on literature. - Dan Dank55 (send/receive) 19:55, 25 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Tell me why you think this is something that a reader of Robot would want to know, that is, why do you keep adding this to Robot?
 * In the book The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy the Sirius Cybernetics Corporation defines a robot as: "Your plastic pal who's fun to be with!"
 * (Feel free to reply here if you like.) - Dan Dank55 (send/receive) 20:18, 25 October 2008 (UTC)

IP 88.71.58.254 is not me but I liked its entry regarding the Sirius Cybernetics Corporation definiton of a robot very much. Maybe it is more appropriate to have it in "robots in literature". But then, why is there a "literature" section in "robots"? Why are Asimov and his pseudo-scientific robot stories mentioned? That's fiction. The Sirius Cybernetics Corporation is the future! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.76.111.2 (talk) 18:36, 26 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Asimov is mentioned because of his early and groundbreaking contribution to literature about robots, especially the three laws. As Dank55 says though, the Robot article is not meant to collect a series of fictional quotes. Franamax (talk) 21:54, 26 October 2008 (UTC)

Have you ever met a robot which has implemented Asimovs' three laws? Two of them? At least one? Groundbreaking, sure. I claim that the Sirus Cybernetic's definition of a robot is going to be much more realistic and relevant than what Asimov wrote. It apperas as if there is "a bunch of mindless jerks" around "who'll be the first against the wall when the revolution comes" (Sirius Cybernetics Corporation).

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Holger.winkler. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Holger.winkler~enwiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name. If you think you might own all of the accounts with this name and this message is in error, please visit Special:MergeAccount to check and attach all of your accounts to prevent them from being renamed.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 00:36, 20 March 2015 (UTC)
