Please refrain to make such edits without any prior discussion; the SVG version is used since March and nobody complained about it, if you feel it's a big issue reach a local consensus before. --Brownout (msg) 15:10, 21 July 2008 (UTC)
- IE6 users tend to be the least technical hence the lack of complaints - but it will be rendering as white kits for all those people. Do you really think breaking the template for 20% of internet users isn't a big deal? ed g2s • talk 16:51, 21 July 2008 (UTC)
- In fact if you look at the talk page there have been complaints. ed g2s • talk 16:52, 21 July 2008 (UTC)
- I think that before reverting to an older version a fairly stable template included in ~3000 articles you should at least discuss. --Brownout (msg) 17:05, 21 July 2008 (UTC)
- PS: I kinda agree with the Germans, IE6 is horribly old, nobody should use it.

Field hockey
Hi, Ed g2s, you not recognise me. I'm working around in field hockey area. I'm impressed with your creation of soccer shade, i like to have one in field hockey, recently i create Image:Penalty stroke.png but i'm not happy with my creation and i want to learn something or some idea from you. Can you help me little bit, passing some idea? Thanks if you can help. --Aleenf1 11:18, 25 August 2008 (UTC)
Template:Nutritionalvalue
Hi Ed. I noticed your experimental edits of {{nutritionalvalue}}. Next time you edit a complex template or when you are not absolutely sure what result your edit to the template will cause, I recommend you use the /sandbox and perhaps the /testcases subpages of the template. Or you can experiment on a subpage in your own user space. Thus you don't cause weird looking article pages while you experiment. And you save a lot of server load, since each time you change a deployed template lots of articles are re-rendered.
You can learn more about this at Wikipedia:Template test cases.
--David Göthberg (talk) 13:54, 20 October 2008 (UTC)
- Ed: You really should come to Template talk:Nutritionalvalue and explain the purpose of your major edits to the {{nutritionalvalue}} template, and what changes those edits mean. We should not have to spend hours comparing code line by line and run tests to figure out what changes you might have added.
- --David Göthberg (talk) 19:17, 20 October 2008 (UTC)
- The changes are merely cosmetic and syntactic. Let me know if I missed anything. ed g2s • talk 23:00, 20 October 2008 (UTC)
- Can you please discuss your proposed changes on the template talk page? Han-Kwang (t) 16:50, 21 October 2008 (UTC)

Talk page
Just letting you know - my talk is currently broken in IE and Opera, so I have decided to get a new design. I was going to design one, but I usually end up screwing it up some way or another. Anyway, I am borrowing yours (with some modifications) for now, not going live until I've sorted out the aforementioned mods though. If you have any objections to this, please do make them known. Thanks again, — neuro(talk) 16:05, 25 November 2008 (UTC)
- Oh, and I forgot to mention, I will credit you at the bottom of both my talk and user pages, as I may use a modified version of your userpage for mine as well. As I say, any objections, just say. :) — neuro(talk) 16:09, 25 November 2008 (UTC)
- Currently having problems with implementation, so this is on hold. — neuro(talk) 10:36, 26 November 2008 (UTC)
Suspension
Hi, I noticed you were the one created the match report templates and uploaded the images to Wikipedia, so I hope I'm ask the right person here... =) Do you know if there is a similar image or template on a "2-minute suspension" given in handball? It should be a hand showing the peace-sign "backwards", look at this document on page 65 for a preview. Hope you can help? =) lil2mas (talk) 23:44, 10 December 2008 (UTC)

Robin van Persie protection
Hi there,
I was just about to action the unprotection when you beat me to it! Just to let you know, I've restored the semi-protection that was already on that article, as it's got a long history of vandalism, and football fans being what they are, that's likely to continue. Hope you don't mind! GedUK 12:33, 17 August 2012 (UTC)
Template:Football kit box
Hi!
I'm pretty sure something went wrong with the "Template:Football kit box" template when you edited it last. I noticed that the usage of the template in an article I wrote suddenly appeared different than what it used to. Instead of the kits aligning to the right and next to each other they all line up over each other which messes up the layout of the page. See here for an example of what I'm talking about. Do you think that you could perhaps fix the template? Thanks! --Reckless182 (talk) 22:01, 5 November 2013 (UTC)
- That is the correct behaviour for three right-aligned images, the fact they were side-by-side before was an unintended consequence of it not being set up correctly. If you want them side by side you should place them non-floated inside a right-floated container. ed g2s • talk
- Thanks! I found a way.--Reckless182 (talk) 22:44, 6 November 2013 (UTC)
- Hi, Ed g2s!
- I think Reckless182 was right. The boxes can't align left - I left you the original message here but I think you were on a break, if you want we can continue the convo there. Thanks in advance! BigSteve (talk) 10:18, 16 February 2014 (UTC)

Hi 'Ed g2s'
I am trying to get hold of someone who has credited you on their wiki user page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Unisouth
Do you have any contact details for Unisouth or the ability to get me in touch with them?

VisualEditor
Do you have a wider concern, as removing sourced content just because the source has a dead link in it isn't not even WP:DEADREF. Would be good to resolve on the talk. Widefox; talk 13:05, 29 May 2015 (UTC)
Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Create image with transparent background
Hi Ed. I was wondering if you'd be able to make a PNG of File:Nasa mer marvin.jpg with a transparent background as you did with File:Nasa mer daffy.png. I only have a basic understanding of how to create transparencies in Paint Shop Pro, and cannot replicate what you did with the partial transparency in the shadow. Thanks in advance! — Huntster (t @ c) 18:06, 5 January 2016 (UTC)
- Done. ed g2s • talk 19:28, 5 January 2016 (UTC)
- That's fantastic, thank you. May I ask what you use to get that partial transparency? — Huntster (t @ c) 20:09, 5 January 2016 (UTC)
- It's not that straightforward. I cut manually separated the badge from the shadow, then converted the shadow to a mask for a plain black layer. ed g2s • talk 16:39, 15 January 2016 (UTC)
- That's fantastic, thank you. May I ask what you use to get that partial transparency? — Huntster (t @ c) 20:09, 5 January 2016 (UTC)
Seattle Sounders FC colour scheme
I agree that the colour scheme is likely against accessibility guidelines. It would be better if you made the text either black or white. I'm sorry that I don't have the time to fix this presently. If you don't have time to do it, I'll try later in my day. Walter Görlitz (talk) 15:45, 12 January 2016 (UTC)

Football Player Tables
Hi Ed g2s, I have received no more answers on my campaign to standardize the Footballer Player Tables to Wikipedia's style (or at least closer to it), so per WP:SILENCE, I am planning to make the necessary changes to the templates (and link to that discussion in the edit description). The changes are of course backwards compatible, so I do not expect issues—apart from the usual Resistance to Change.
Unfortunately I do not have access everywhere: the club templates are all protected above my access level, and the NFT template family has 8 templates, 7 of which I can edit, but one I can't (this one). I seems a bit strange that only a single template of a family has a higher protection; perhaps could you reduce that protection to 'auto-confirmed'? Alternatively I would of course be happy to be made a Template Editor, then I can also update the club templates, but I'm not sure what the usual channels are to achieve that :) –Sygmoral (talk) 19:51, 31 January 2016 (UTC)
- I guess the best thing to try first is to request template editor rights. ed g2s • talk 15:12, 2 February 2016 (UTC)

File:Soccerball Gibraltar.svg?
Hi Ed, I'm looking to show everyone that I support Gibraltarian football by using an icon similar to the ones you have made (e.g. File:Soccerball Estonia.svg). However I'm not sure how to do it and I was wondering if you were able to do one with the Gibraltar flag? I would be very grateful, if not then don't worry. Kind regards --6ii9 (talk) 12:16, 27 May 2016 (UTC)

ArbCom 2019 special circular
Administrators must secure their accounts
The Arbitration Committee may require a new RfA if your account is compromised.

Administrator account security (Correction to Arbcom 2019 special circular)
ArbCom would like to apologise and correct our previous mass message in light of the response from the community.
Since November 2018, six administrator accounts have been compromised and temporarily desysopped. In an effort to help improve account security, our intention was to remind administrators of existing policies on account security — that they are required to "have strong passwords and follow appropriate personal security practices." We have updated our procedures to ensure that we enforce these policies more strictly in the future. The policies themselves have not changed. In particular, two-factor authentication remains an optional means of adding extra security to your account. The choice not to enable 2FA will not be considered when deciding to restore sysop privileges to administrator accounts that were compromised.
We are sorry for the wording of our previous message, which did not accurately convey this, and deeply regret the tone in which it was delivered.
For the Arbitration Committee, -Cameron11598 21:03, 4 May 2019 (UTC)
