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 •talk16:51, 21 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

In fact if you look at the talk page there have been complaints.ed g2s •talk16:52, 21 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

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)[reply]

PS: I kinda agreewith the Germans, IE6 is horribly old, nobody should use it.

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 createImage: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. --Aleenf111:18, 25 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

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 atWikipedia:Template test cases.

--David Göthberg (talk)13:54, 20 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ed: You really should come toTemplate 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.

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)[reply]

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. Seehere 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)[reply]

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)[reply]

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the currentArbitration Committee election. TheArbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipediaarbitration 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 imposesite bans,topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. Thearbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome toreview the candidates' statements and submit your choices onthe voting page.

Hi Ed. I was wondering if you'd be able to make a PNG ofFile:Nasa mer marvin.jpg with a transparent background as you did withFile: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.

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 •talk16:39, 15 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

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.

Hi Ed g2s, I have received no more answers on my campaign tostandardize the Footballer Player Tables to Wikipedia's style (or at least closer to it), so perWP: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: theclubtemplates 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)[reply]

This message was sent to all administrators following arecent motion. Thank you for your attention. For theArbitration Committee,Cameron1159802:17, 4 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

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 arerequired to "have strong passwords andfollow appropriate personal security practices." We haveupdated 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 anoptional 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, -Cameron1159821:03, 4 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

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 adminwill 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 onbetter tools to help.

If you have not seen it before, you canread more on Meta. If you want to make sure you don’t miss technical changes on the Wikimedia wikis, you cansubscribe tothe weekly technical newsletter.

We havetwo 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 canlet 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)

Hello,

The Wikimedia Foundation is conducting a survey of Wikipedians to better understand what draws administrators to contribute to Wikipedia, and what affects administrator retention. We will use this research to improve experiences for Wikipedians, and address common problems and needs. We have identified you as a good candidate for this research, and would greatly appreciate your participation in thisanonymous survey.

You do not have to be an Administrator to participate.

The survey should take around 10-15 minutes to complete. You may read more about the study on itsMeta page and view itsprivacy statement .

Please find our contact on the project Meta page if you have any questions or concerns.
