Robot Hall of Fame

 * Nominator(s): Holiday56 (talk), The Rambling Man (talk) 14:52, 8 September 2017 (UTC)

I am nominating this for featured list because I discovered it in a good state thanks to the great work of a few years back, and suggested we co-nom because it's an interesting list and a niche topic. It's been brought up to current standards (that didn't take much) and looks good to go as far as I'm concerned. The Rambling Man (talk) 14:52, 8 September 2017 (UTC)


 * Support Interesting list. Great job and . Cheers – Ianblair23 (talk) 09:00, 11 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Support - all looks good to me! -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 08:20, 30 October 2017 (UTC)

Other than that, there is little to fault, so to be honest, I'm happy to support. Harrias talk 14:43, 30 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Comments from Harrias  talk
 * I mean, I'll be honest, I'm disappointed not to see Chaos 2 or Razer in there...
 * "..were selected by a selected panel of jurists.." – not keen on the repetition of "selected".
 * thanks, I've replaced the first "selected" with "chosen" so that's nice. Cheers. The Rambling Man (talk) 14:47, 30 October 2017 (UTC)

Comments from Rodw This is an interesting list on a topic I know very little about. Other than those queries, I'm finding it difficult to raise any issues.&mdash; Rod talk 18:12, 30 October 2017 (UTC)
 * I had to think about the meaning of "existent" in "both existent and fictional". Would "real" be an alternative term?
 * Yes, I don't see why not, so I've swapped per your suggestion. The Rambling Man (talk) 20:34, 30 October 2017 (UTC)
 * The image File:Robot 501585 fh000026.jpg seems to have two different CC licences (one specific to France) - I have not seen this before and I'm not expert enough to know whether that is OK.
 * I think it should be one or the other personally, but since they're both CC, it's not an issue to use the image here. The Rambling Man (talk) 20:34, 30 October 2017 (UTC)
 * I thought we were supposed to add "+" & give a title per Manual of Style/Accessibility but I'm not sure if that is a requirement.
 * Yes, we often do, especially if it's not directly following a section heading (as in this case) but it does little harm and adds benefit to our ACCESS-readers, so I've added one. The Rambling Man (talk) 20:34, 30 October 2017 (UTC)
 * George Lucas is credited as creator of the Star Wars franchise, but didn't Ralph McQuarrie get credit for a lot of the design work?
 * That's most certainly true, but the information here is following the citations provided by the HoF website which only mentions Lucas in each case. The Rambling Man (talk) 20:34, 30 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Hi, thanks for getting the time to do this, much appreciated. I've responded to your comments inline above.  Please let me know if there's anything else you'd like me to do.  Cheers. The Rambling Man (talk) 20:34, 30 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your responses & edits. I can now Support this lst as meeting the criteria.&mdash; Rod talk 20:42, 30 October 2017 (UTC)

,, here's another off the production line, needs a source review I think but otherwise good to go? The Rambling Man (talk) 21:02, 30 October 2017 (UTC)

I find it a bit odd that the lead talks about the 2012 rules change as if it's an on-going affair, when in fact that was the only year like that and no robots have been entered into the Hall in the 5 years since. Can you find a way to work into it that 2012 is the latest year to add robots? -- Pres N  01:39, 31 October 2017 (UTC)
 * fair point, I've adjusted the tense a little and added a note regarding the last entry being 2012. What do you think? The Rambling Man (talk) 06:43, 31 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Looks good, source review passed, promoting. -- Pres N  17:27, 31 October 2017 (UTC)
