Restored Gitorious article
[edit]After asking the admin who deleted it, he didn't have any particular objections to the references and responded: "Hello again. If you feel that the article can survive online, feel free to repost it. Thanks. Pastor Theo (talk) 19:49, 22 July 2009 (UTC)", and hence I've restored the page to Gitorious. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tuxcantfly (talk • contribs)
Tuxcantfly: Awesome! I just got back from the weekend. So glad to see Gitorious back up. Thanks for all your work. That's quite an impressive set of references. - JasonWoof (talk) 18:13, 27 July 2009 (UTC)
I've taken the iniative and I'm revising the Roxxxy article. Apart from the points you made back in January about Roxxxy not being a robot (I agree, as every single media reference - and they are numerous - to it being a robot came directly from the PR material), there are also the that points I made on the discussion page.
Reading extensively about the web, I feel the original WKP article is purely promotional in tone, and all the citations are simply links to media outlets that loop round to the manufacturers own PR material. As far as I can make out, this machine does not 'hold conversations', but at present merely replays prerecorded conversations. I can't find any write-ups of anyone who has actually had any kind of interactive conversation with it. Physical interaction is also very limited.
In short, I think the Roxxxy article at the moment is a misleading PR explosion rather than a Wikipedia article, and there is no link on the page to a serious review, nor to any material examining (rather than listing the claimed) qualities of the product.

- Thank you for taking initiative! Sounds like you're being very realistic and not buying into the PR/media hype. I couldn't find any real info on the thing either, so I didn't know what to put in the page. But certainly we shouldn't just be accumulating references to all the cheap media outlets who copied the PR from the manufacturer. -- JasonWoof (talk) 22:27, 29 September 2010 (UTC)
