I just copyedited this article In the sections that describe events fter Johnny 5 changed his name from Number 5 I used his updated name It feels awkward though having it say Johnny 5 all over the place as opposed to Johnny or 5 maybe If someone else agrees with me to the point that they feel that it would be worth changing I m curious as to what the preferred name would be Also I changed the him references to Johnny to it as he is a robot and not a human If due to the personification of the character in the movies I ve never seen them so I can t know for sure although it does seem this way from what I learned in the article is so complete that he should be referred to by him by all means change it
