- 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.

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.

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, —
- 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)]

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. 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.

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.

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)

Non-free use of File:Sweden national football team logo.png

How we will see unregistered users
Hi!
You get this message because you are an admin on a Wikimedia wiki.
When someone edits a Wikimedia wiki without being logged in today, we show their IP address. As you may already know, we will not be able to do this in the future. This is a decision by the Wikimedia Foundation Legal department, because norms and regulations for privacy online have changed.
Instead of the IP we will show a masked identity. You as an admin will still be able to access the IP. There will also be a new user right for those who need to see the full IPs of unregistered users to fight vandalism, harassment and spam without being admins. Patrollers will also see part of the IP even without this user right. We are also working on better tools to help.
If you have not seen it before, you can read more on Meta. If you want to make sure you don’t miss technical changes on the Wikimedia wikis, you can subscribe to the weekly technical newsletter.
We have two suggested ways this identity could work. We would appreciate your feedback on which way you think would work best for you and your wiki, now and in the future. You can let us know on the talk page. You can write in your language. The suggestions were posted in October and we will decide after 17 January.
Thank you. /Johan (WMF)

The administrator policy has been updated with new activity requirements following a successful Request for Comment.
Beginning January 1, 2023, administrators who meet one or both of the following criteria may be desysopped for inactivity if they have:
- Made neither edits nor administrative actions for at least a 12-month period OR
- Made fewer than 100 edits over a 60-month period
Administrators at risk for being desysopped under these criteria will continue to be notified ahead of time. Thank you for your continued work.
