The first paragraph has no citations. At least one citation per paragraph is required for DYK, and the R2-D2 connection needs to be cited if it is to be in the hook. In fact, I would suggest goint to a lead section by making it just a summary followed by a section heading, e.g. "Life" or "Biography". Then put the details like robot names into the article in chronological order. Also should clarify when the awards are shared with others. And I will go ahead and add the picture for decoration if nothing else. W Nowicki ( talk) 20:53, 3 January 2011 (UTC) reply
