File talk:Phone.svg

Generic form
007a83, it doesn't matter whether it looks like an iPhone or not. That's not why I uploaded it. The main reason I updated it was because the file is smaller, and also because this form is the generic form that most smartphones look like. Incidentally, if you forgot, the Pocket Edition is available on the iPhone/iTouch/iPad, not only on Android phones. This is a wiki, and we do not have a bias towards any one type of thing. If you have a bias against iPhone topics, this is not the place to let that bias interfere. Next time before reverting, try not to let that immature thinking affect your actions. --M0rphzone 23:40, 19 September 2012 (UTC)


 * Lets Go with the one A admin up loaded AKA Ultradude25 --007a83 (Talk&#124;Contribs) 00:39, 22 September 2012 (UTC)


 * I disagree. M0rphzone's picture is extremely small and very generic. Just because it was uploaded by a user of certain status doesn't make the file magically protected. I won't get involved in a revert war, but I ask that you find a better reason to keep the old one other than "[an] admin uploaded it". -- Kanegasi  ☺  C  01:09, 22 September 2012 (UTC)


 * 007a83, did you read the reasons I posted? You really shouldn't be editing this wiki if you're going to act like this. I won't revert until Ultradude settles the matter, but I'd hoped Ultra or any other admins wouldn't have to be involved in something trivial like this. --M0rphzone 02:03, 22 September 2012 (UTC)


 * While the image from Wikipedia is not widely used there, its use has been uncontested; resemblance to any particular device does not seem to be a concern. Searching for "generic phone icon" reveals predominantly iPhone-style devices, as does browsing the smartphones offered by major cellphone networks. (The recent Apple-Samsung lawsuit over product design illustrates how similar many devices are.) From a technical standpoint, the nominal image size is irrelevant, since it's vectorized, but the file size is considerably smaller. For these reasons, I believe this image is a better choice than Ultradude's original. -- Orthotope 07:02, 11 October 2012 (UTC)


 * With all the lawsuit stuff Apple has done I don't think we need any thing looking like a "iPhone". I mean Steve Jobs said "I AM WILLING TO GO GLOBAL THERMAL NUCLEAR WAR ON THIS". I just don't what any thing to do with iPhone images at this point. (My mom works at Apple and my dad works at Samsung. They both think Apple has gone off the deep end. --007a83 (Talk&#124;Contribs) 04:33, 11 November 2012 (UTC)
 * It is plainly obvious you are vandalizing. You are completely ignoring the views of other people on this website for your ignorant personal opinions. We don't care where your parents work or whether or not "it looks like an iPhone". Stop touching this file.  19:40, 11 November 2012 (UTC)


 * Also, I have a suggestion to make it "look less like an iPhone". Get rid of the ear-slot on top and the button on bottom. I'm pretty sure the rectangular shape is noticeable enough as a mobile, and will hopefully prevent further vandalism.  19:48, 11 November 2012 (UTC)


 * I asked 2 wikipedia admins, They both like the 1st one more.--007a83 (Talk&#124;Contribs) 02:04, 13 November 2012 (UTC)


 * Kanegasi, you do realize that all smartphones have that earslot right? Most smartphones also have a single button on the bottom. And it's really ironic, 007a83, when your parents work for Apple and Samsung, cause they're suing each other for "copying" each other's design. But it's ridiculous because you can't (or shouldn't be able to) patent a rectangle with rounded edges, so it has nothing to do with looking like iPhones. ALL smartphones look like this. It's as simple as that. And btw, forget about using my smartphone version - it's pointless having people revert war with an immature 9 year old. Since you want the dumb phone version to stay, 007a83, be my guest. And the funny thing is, all phones that can run Minecraft are smartphones, not an idiot phone like this. --M0rphzone(talk) 23:09, 16 November 2012 (UTC)


 * I am well aware of that, but the generic rectangular shape with screen should be enough.  23:51, 16 November 2012 (UTC)
 * I don't know if this discussion is over or i this is stated like this already, but unless otherwise, I didn't know that the minecraft pocket edition ran on anything but something with a touch screen, and the current image doesn't look much like a touch screen phone. Now I personally do not own a cell phone, but unless the controls are modified for other phones to use the small arrow pad instead of using a touch screen, I don't see what the point of having the phone use the current image, since this IS the minecraft wiki, not the real Wikipedia. #trigger_hurt (I 19:56, 4 December 2012 (UTC)

Exactly. But it doesn't matter now, since I've uploaded a newer image at File:Smartphone.svg for use on the template/articles. This one can stay the way it is since I'll respect Ultradude's original upload. --M0rphzone(talk) 03:12, 17 December 2012 (UTC)
