Plagiarism?

It looks like the main text of this article is lifted wholesale from the IMDb page that's linked from this page[1]. Is this considered plagiarism? T. S. Rice 09:59, 5 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It is indeed, although it is possible that the IMDb author and this page's author are the same person. Nonetheless, I've reworded the summary to avoid a copyvio. —Cuivi é nen 23:43, 15 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

stub?

should this page be marked as a stub? Bud0011 02:54, 7 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

A stub of what? In almost every case, a story and the movie based on the story are 2 different articles. Why should this one be any different? Mushrom 04:30, 11 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

A stub is a short and very incomplete article on Wikipedia. I think this qualifies. —Cuivi é nen 23:43, 15 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Minor Plot Corrections

I made some minor plot corrections to this article. U.S. Robotics to NorthAm Robotics (in the story, it was U.S. Robotics and Mechanical Men, it was changed to avoid a dispute with the then current U.S. Robotics company as the company in the movie was not portrayed in a positive sense.), added a plot point, and corrected the month that Andrew was purchased.

Unencyclopedic lists?

This article is tagged as containing unencyclopedic lists. The only lists I see in its current incarnation are the awards the film has won and its cast, which are certainly pertinent data which should appear in an encyclopedia. I plan to remove the tag if there's no opposition. Captain Infinity 00:21, 12 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I agree, I don't see any unnecessary or unencyclopedic lists. Bhamv 03:32, 19 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:Robinwill-bicentenial man.JPG

Image:Robinwill-bicentenial man.JPG is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Asimov's books...

There seems to be a lot of mis-information about the movie's source. I'm going to double- and cross-check my sources and get back. Shir-El too 23:54, 24 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Summary and Plot

I tried to shorten both - with questionable results. Hope someone else does better. Shir-El too 03:44, 27 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sequel

I noticed that it says that the film will be followed by "Tricentennial Woman". I couldn't find any proof on this on IMDB or Google. Can anyone provide a source? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Kwake20 (talk • contribs) 02:37, 8 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Rectified, thanks. — pd_THOR ^{| =/\=} | 12:37, 8 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Source of the movie

Which book is the true base of this movie? Two different statements brings confussion. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.240.64.46 (talk) 21:33, 23 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
