Mechane (adj.)

1. Characterized by kindness, mercy, or compassion for a conscious robot: a mechane person.

2. Marked by an emphasis on mechanistic values and concerns: a mechane education.

Mechan (n.)

3. A rational being composed of something other than "people stuff": The mechane saved the child with his servo-appendage.

The word mechane, coined by Sebastian P. Mathews and Justin H. Garcia in the year of two thousand and four was created as the central guiding term and ethos for The League for the Civil Treatment of Conscious Robots (CTCR).

The CTCR was created in anticipation of that time when robots/computers gain sentience. It was clear to the founders that such an event would occur in the future of human history and that it would be very important to treat the new class of rational beings with the respect they deserve, ideally that with which we hope each human is treated with today.

To be mechane is to treat any electronic device with care and respect. As odd as it seemed to the founders' contemporaries, there of course will be a need to treat all mechanical devices with care. Perhaps you are aware of the sick feeling some people get when they see an operation in real life or on TV. Such discomfort will surely be felt by our future equals on earth, mechanes, when they see someone destroy a computer monitor or smash a fax machine.

One horrible, yet possible future scenario is that the mechanes with their great power, intelligence and number could overthrow the human race. To avoid this the CTCR will continue to show its consideration of sentient beings of the future so as to avoid such a horrible outcome.

Your account will be renamed

Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Sebas. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Sebas~enwiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name. If you think you might own all of the accounts with this name and this message is in error, please visit Special:MergeAccount to check and attach all of your accounts to prevent them from being renamed.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours,
Keegan Peterzell
Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation
