Could someone provide the translation of the original version of that chapter page where it lists all of Dr. Gero's Androids, please?

This is from the title page of 367 (DBZ 173)
Here's Everything About Doctor Gero's Androids!
All the ones after No.8 were made for the purpose of defeating Son Goku after he destroyed the Red Ribbon Army!
Goku: Hmm, hmm

Nos.1-7
All had problems

No.8
A failure, he has a gentle personality and befriends Goku.

Nos.9-15
Apparently they all had problems, but Nos. 13, 14, and 15 seem to have had a fairly high degree of completion.

No.16
It's not all that clear, but Doctor Gero said he was a failure. It seems that his personality was most likely the problem, but could there be some other mystery?...(Completely artificial construct)

No.17
Too much emphasis was placed on his power, resulting in him being a failure who doesn't listen to orders. (Human-base)

No.18
Her power is more suppressed than No.17's, but in the end she too is a failure who doesn't listen to orders. (Human-base)

No.19
Finally a success, but he as destroyed by Vegeta. (Completely artificial construct)

No.20
He finally modified himself. However, he was destroyed by No.17. (Human plus machines)

[a two-way arrow points between Cell and the box containing No.17 and No.18]
Cell
Previously Doctor Gero had tried to create an android through bio-technology, but it was too difficult time-wise, so he had a computer continue the experiment. He was made by combining the cells of Goku, Vegeta, Piccolo, Freeza, Freeza's father, and numerous varieties of life-forms. From this state, he supposedly can merge with No.17 and No.18 to reach his perfect form.
Kanzenshuu: Is that place still around?

Thanks! :D

I'm wondering about this though:

What does this mean? "Fairly high degree of completion"? Completion of what?
