- 06:4206:42, 16 July 2020 diff hist +9 Adrian David Cheok →Academic: In every academic paper I can see by Cheok on this topic he says love and sex with robots. We should not put "words into his mouth". Many of the papers talk equally about love and marriage with robots. I checked on Google scholar, although I didn't count every paper, it is quite easy to see it is definitely not the authors primary work. I don't know where the word primary came from but it is definitely not true. https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=mP3TUx4AAAAJ&hl=en Tag: Visual edit

- 06:2806:28, 16 July 2020 diff hist +1,005 Adrian David Cheok →Academic: The only work described in the sources that he used with his female student was the remote kissing gadget Kissenger. It has never been described by the inventors Cheok & Zhang as anything sexual, in fact on the video all the examples they give are family interactions (grandmother, grandchild etc.). The complaint is only about one female student which is the actual co-inventor Emma Yann Zhang who is Cheok's PhD student. We should not go into dangerous territory of potential libel.

- 14:3414:34, 15 July 2020 diff hist +10 Adrian David Cheok I added the far-right, because just "conservative" seems a little bit of an understatement, Cheok clearly from the references seems to be on the far right, and it seems many sources state he is far-right Tag: Visual edit

- 14:1714:17, 15 July 2020 diff hist +360 Adrian David Cheok Absolute categorical proof the award was not rescinded. We can go to the official Prime Minister of Australia Office web site and search Adrian Cheok and you will see that he is listed as Member of the Order of Australia. This is absolute proof that his award was not rescinded. Tag: Visual edit
- 10:1310:13, 15 July 2020 diff hist +115 Adrian David Cheok Ok, maybe it is not clear he is closely associated with Steve Bannon (even though I think the references make it clear, but I agree with Lord Belbury it is not crystal clear). However we have to admit the Steve Bannon Keynote was the major uproar about Cheok, and it should be up in the introduction, since this is one of the major things that other people and other academics were in uproar over (and many news articles about it).

- 10:0910:09, 15 July 2020 diff hist +256 Adrian David Cheok Lord Belbury if you go to the link http://www.i-u.ac.jp/academic/people/ it is written in Japanese and English about full time teachers, if you click that box which says full time teachers, you can see Cheok as Professor. So these two things together clearly show he is a Full Professor at iUniversity Tokyo Tag: Visual edit
- 10:0310:03, 15 July 2020 diff hist +208 Adrian David Cheok →Academic: To make the information more exact, his role is "General Co-Chair". I am very sure he started the conference with David Levy (I read it somewhere in a few places, but I can't remember those articles now), so let's just leave it to the official position on the Love and sex with robots web site.

- 09:5809:58, 15 July 2020 diff hist +652 User talk:Belbury →Adrian David Cheok: I am not sure if you are in academia, but a couple of gold standards for checking an academic is Orcid and Google Scholar. Because both of those verify the person's Institution. If you look at https://orcid.org/0000-0001-6316-2339 and https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=mP3TUx4AAAAJ&hl=en you can see both list iUniversity as his affiliation. I also read a few articles that state that is his University position as Professor in i-University Tokyo Japan. However the O

- 09:4509:45, 15 July 2020 diff hist +2 Adrian David Cheok Since a previous editor moved the less important roles, we should move all the part-time / visiting professorships down also. We can just leave Cheok's full time position at the top, since this is his full time work as Professor in Tokyo. Tag: Visual edit
- 09:4309:43, 15 July 2020 diff hist +379 Adrian David Cheok I think the main notable aspect of his far-right politics is his close association with Steve Bannon who was a keynote speaker at Cheok's events. Tag: Visual edit

- 08:0408:04, 15 July 2020 diff hist +2 Adrian David Cheok Please kindly see the talk page, it seems quite clear that there is not a person close to the author who is editing therefore i removed the tag for A major contributor to this article appears to have a close connection with its subject. I have read the article several times and looked at the Talk page and editors, and I believe there is not a case of an author close to the subject editing this article and the tag can be removed. Thank you.

- 16:5616:56, 14 July 2020 diff hist +12 Adrian David Cheok →Political: After reading the references I think we should report that Cheok is a very strong supporter of Fraser Anning. The articles and references make this very clear so I think it is a objective description to say he is a very strong supporter of Fraser Anning. Tag: Visual edit
- 16:5316:53, 14 July 2020 diff hist +5 Adrian David Cheok →Political: Having read the article and some other articles I also read, it seems that Clive Palmer asked Cheok to dumb down his policies. So this is clarified. Also from my reading it seems Clive Palmer is not a right wing party (definitely compared to say USA right wing). It could be debated he is center-right. Anyway I think it is best we do not put right wing for Clive Palmer party (as it seems more centrist from USA perspective). I agree Fraser Anning is right wing and we can leave that Tag: Visual edit
- 16:2516:25, 14 July 2020 diff hist +37 Adrian David Cheok →Academic: we should clarify the list is for worldwide (not only USA) computer scienctists only. As far as I know h-index cannot be effectively compared among different fields of study/research. Tag: Visual edit
- 16:2016:20, 14 July 2020 diff hist +192 Adrian David Cheok →Academic: To make it very clear to all readers, the person's h-index is written as 47 on the original source of Google Scholar as well as on the list of top 0.05 of computer scientists Tag: Visual edit
- 16:1816:18, 14 July 2020 diff hist −24 Adrian David Cheok →Academic: I think the editor might be looking at an old page. Please refresh your browser. Cheok is listed with h-index of 47 on the official list http://web.cs.ucla.edu/~palsberg/h-number.html Tag: Visual edit

- 16:0716:07, 14 July 2020 diff hist +382 Adrian David Cheok →Academic: I think we should not deliberately put old numbers. The list The h Index for Computer Science by Professor Jens Palsberg is mainly based on Google Scholar which is an independent reference. If we see Google Scholar right now, the person's h-index is indeed 47. I have met Prof Palsberg who compiles that list through academic meetings, and as one can imagine as a single Professor he cannot update that list often as he is overworked. Therefore we should refer to Google Scholar = 47 Tag: Visual edit
- 16:0016:00, 14 July 2020 diff hist +292 Adrian David Cheok →Controversies: As far as I know the government web site will delete those persons who have been rescinded. I think we do not want to give any false impression and write in an encyclopedia manner. If and when the honor is rescinded then it can be fully referenced. Therefore we should not put a date of July 2020 unless someone is going to monitor this constantly. Lets just put the rescindence if it happens and when it happens with reference. Tag: Visual edit
- 15:5115:51, 14 July 2020 diff hist −13 m Adrian David Cheok →Controversies: When I read the references and articles it seems that he attacked many academics not only one which was named. It is better to put the plural "academics" otherwise the article might seem biased as "protecting" that one academic also. The basic facts seem to be (based on the references) that the person attacked many academics. Either we list them all, or just leave it as "academics" in plural. Tag: Visual edit
- 15:4815:48, 14 July 2020 diff hist +4 Adrian David Cheok →Controversies: I read the articles carefully but I could not find what would be described as a "boycott". What does it mean to boycott an individual? I think if there really was some kind of boycott then it can be detailed what the person was boycotted from and give detailed references. In the meantime I replaced the word with "controversy" Tag: Visual edit

- 15:4015:40, 14 July 2020 diff hist +470 Adrian David Cheok →Academic: Almost all people reading this will have absolutely no idea of the significance of the h-index number as no context was given. A previous contributor deleted the reference to the h-index list and it represents the top 0.05% of computer scientists. As an academic I understand what the h index of greater than 40 means, however most readers will have no idea, so I think it is important to give context by referring to this independent list of computer scientists.

- 15:2015:20, 14 July 2020 diff hist +772 Adrian David Cheok →Controversies: When I first read this sentence it seems to imply that the award was rescinded, when in fact upon investigation, it was not rescinded. Therefore I think it is important for every Wikipedia reader to make this clear, with reference to the Australian Governor Generals' official web site. Tag: Visual edit: Switched
