I'm not sure if this is an acceptable app to make a page about, but I could make a very detailed page as I created a wiki article about it here. I can grab more references if need be.Tes753 (talk) 20:10, 7 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Looks good to me. Few more references and it'll be great. ISmashed TALK! 13:15, 14 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. I will gather the appropriate resources and references and will make the page. I suppose I should add "(iPhone App)" after "Fantastic Contraption" since there is a online version of the game.--Tes753 (talk) 17:50, 16 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Well if its the same game just on different platforms i'd make 1 page with a section for each platform. Use {{Infobox VG}} as an info box as it is suitable for apps. Cheers ISmashed TALK! 18:23, 17 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I do not think that the PC version adheres to Wikipedia's guidelines for PC games. I will ask around the game's forums where there was a discussion on whether the game should be on Wikipedia. Thanks for the help!--Tes753 (talk) 22:30, 18 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Just out of curiosity, what's the current reasoning for adding Pac-Man to WikiProject iPhone OS? Is it just that the game was released on this platform? Or is there something more significant about its presence there that makes it particularly notable to this project? — KieferSkunk (talk) — 17:56, 20 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hello? Bueller? — KieferSkunk (talk) — 02:01, 17 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Nothing really notable about it on the iPhone. It's got a pretty average rating (3.5/5) for such a notable game, primarily because it's a game that's not that well suited for the iPhone. Gary King (talk) 07:04, 2 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah there is the classic pac mman game which is a port. Then there is the pac-man remix game which is unique to the platform. ISmashed TALK! 18:59, 2 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I'm a little late getting back to this discussion, but ports and unique versions of Pac-Man exist for virtually every hardware platform imaginable. I purport that the only Wikiproject to which the main Pac-Man article really applies would be the Video Games project. If there is a Wikiproject about Namco or Namco-Bandai, then that would be appropriate as well. But merely having a port and a derivative on iPhone doesn't seem notable enough, IMO, to make it part of a platform-specific project, unless it's such a thing that having a version of Pac-Man is of vital importance to the platform itself. (ie.: Would the average person's decision to buy an iPhone be gauged by whether they could play Pac-Man on it?) — KieferSkunk (talk) — 06:11, 15 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Okay I agree with that. Also just checked namco have 4 pac-man series games on the iPhone. These are PAC-MAN, PAC-MAN Championship Edition, PAC-MAN REMIX which I personally own and is a totally new game and Ms. PAC-MAN which is a spin off of the original PAC-MAN series.

I appears that Backflip Studios is up for deletion. We could use your help in saving the article from deletion. I have already posted a Speedy Keep. --NerdyScienceDude :) ^{(click here to talk to me)} 14:27, 12 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

While I agree with the keep, this goes directly against WP:CANVASS. A reminder that deletion discussions are not a vote. TheWeakWilled (T * G) 23:55, 12 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

This message is being sent to each WikiProject that participates in the WP 1.0 assessment system. On Saturday, January 23, 2010, the WP 1.0 bot will be upgraded. Your project does not need to take any action, but the appearance of your project's summary table will change. The upgrade will make many new, optional features available to all WikiProjects. Additional information is available at the WP 1.0 project homepage. — Carl (CBM · talk) 03:25, 22 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I've overhauled the importance scale used for grading quite a bit. If you'd like to discuss this, I've started a discussion here. If there is no contention with this scale, let's make sure we adhere to it when assessing articles. Thanks! Brian Reading (talk) 01:09, 15 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, all. I have created Portal:iPhone OS. I would greatly appreciate your help building the portal. Thank you. NerdyScienceDude :) (✉ click to talk • my edits • sign) 04:30, 4 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Filled in some of the boxes, and created the box header and footer templates. And since it may be helpful for others even if you've seen it Wikipedia:Portal/Instructions. PaleAqua (talk) 11:24, 4 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

So is the whole point of this is to Expand iPhone articles? Tj1224 (talk) 19:09, 8 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Why don't we do a project focusing on this and a wider section of apple and it's products? it would include the topic of the iPhoneOS and the wider range and views of apple. Tj1224 (talk) 16:28, 9 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

There is already a project that focuses on Apple Inc. as a whole. You may want to check out WP:MAC. NerdyScienceDude :) (✉ click to talk • my edits • sign) 21:42, 9 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, all. I was just thinking that our Wikipedia ad should include the project logo in it. What do you all think? NerdyScienceDude :) (✉ click to talk • my edits • sign) 03:34, 10 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

According to Wikipedia:Collaborations, you have a Collaboration of the Month. If so, you might be interested in the new template {{CotM}}. cheers, Rd232 ^talk 22:42, 14 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

IPhone OS has been nominated for a featured portal review. Portals are typically reviewed for one week. During this review, editors may declare "Keep" or "Remove" the portal from featured status. Please leave your comments and help us to return the portal to featured quality. If concerns are not addressed during the review period, portals may lose its status as featured portals. The instructions for the review process are here. Reviewers' concerns are here. --moɳo 00:29, 30 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

There is an ongoing proposal here to rename WikiProject Macintosh to WikiProject Apple. The idea to make WP:IPHONEOS as task force has also been thrown around. Please join the discussion :). Thanks, Airplaneman ✈ 22:45, 9 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure how much it particularly matters as far as the autonomy of the project (which appears to be more concerned with third party apps than Apple hardware and software), but please be aware of it. The current consensus is strongly in favor. HereToHelp ^{(talk to me)} 00:33, 10 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry if this isn't the right place to make this comment, but I couldn't find another more appropriate place.

During the last week or so, all Wikipedia links clicked using Safari (OS3) have either taken a very long time or have stalled out. They used to be redirected to the mobile site, but I no longer see the "m" in the URL.

Is this a known problem, something new, or something only I am experiencing? It has rendered Wikipedia useless for me on my iPhone. 76.126.52.183 (talk) 10:18, 14 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It's a little off topic for here. I wonder if it's related to the switch to "New features" for Wikipedia that recently happened. See Special:UsabilityInitiativePrefSwitch. PaleAqua (talk) 13:03, 14 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Was at Talk:App Store and replaced {{WikiProject iPhone OS|class=B|importance=Top}}, which was being displayed as "Please replace this template with {{WikiProject Apple Inc.|iphone=yes}}". Top of Talk:App_Store included {{ WikiProject iPhone OS|class=B|importance=Top}} and {{WikiProject Macintosh|class=B|importance=High}}. Both those WikiProject tags replaced by {{WikiProject Apple Inc.}}. Both had class=B so I guessed current rating is B. Wondering which importance rating to use: Top or High? ("Top" from {{ WikiProject iPhone OS ..}} and "High" from {{WikiProject Macintosh...}}.) --EarthFurst (talk) 02:23, 30 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hey is is possible for somebody to rework [[File:WikiProject_iPhone_OS_banner.png]?

i normaly would do it myself but since im in the US i don't have access to my Work computer —Preceding unsigned comment added by Hybirdd (talk • contribs) 19:50, 25 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Not sure where the feature requests should go, but here's one: THE ABILITY TO EDIT. No iPhone wikipedia-related apps allow this so far, and editting via Safari is at best very very tedious. Please make this happen in the future! :D Children of the dragon (talk) 04:39, 18 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Be advised that there is a reconsideration of a delisting going on at Wikipedia:Good article reassessment/Justine Ezarik/1.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 02:04, 22 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Version 0.8 is a collection of Wikipedia articles selected by the Wikipedia 1.0 team for offline release on USB key, DVD and mobile phone. Articles were selected based on their assessed importance and quality, then article versions (revisionIDs) were chosen for trustworthiness (freedom from vandalism) using an adaptation of the WikiTrust algorithm.

We would like to ask you to review the IPhone OS articles and revisionIDs we have chosen. Selected articles are marked with a diamond symbol (♦) to the right of each article, and this symbol links to the selected version of each article. If you believe we have included or excluded articles inappropriately, please contact us at Wikipedia talk:Version 0.8 with the details. You may wish to look at your WikiProject's articles with cleanup tags and try to improve any that need work; if you do, please give us the new revisionID at Wikipedia talk:Version 0.8. We would like to complete this consultation period by midnight UTC on Sunday, November 14th.

We have greatly streamlined the process since the Version 0.7 release, so we aim to have the collection ready for distribution by the end of October, 2010. As a result, we are planning to distribute the collection much more widely, while continuing to work with groups such as One Laptop per Child and Wikipedia for Schools to extend the reach of Wikipedia worldwide. Please help us, with your WikiProject's feedback!

If you have already provided feedback, we deeply appreciate it. For the Wikipedia 1.0 editorial team, SelectionBot 16:33, 6 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I hope this is the right place to ask: The article iTunes Remote is in need of an updated picture, because the current picture is old. I was wondering if anyone has the app and could take a new screenshot or something. --Thekmc (talk) 22:19, 9 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
