Semi-protected edit request on 24 June 2016

This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

Is this notable to include or should it be removed?

I just added quotation marks to this sentence under 2016-present:

In March 2017, MTV referred to Sheeran as "arguably the most beloved current UK cultural export to the US that's not called The Great British Baking Show."

Does this really need to be included in the article or is it a bit subjective? -Melodies1917 (talk) 17:49, 4 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Football fan status

It is requested that an edit be made to the semi-protected article at Ed Sheeran. (edit · history · last · links · protection log)

This template must be followed by a complete and specific description of the request, that is, specify what text should be removed and a verbatim copy of the text that should replace it. "Please change X" is not acceptable and will be rejected; the request must be of the form "please change X to Y".

The edit may be made by any autoconfirmed user. Remember to change the |answered=no parameter to "yes" when the request has been accepted, rejected or on hold awaiting user input. This is so that inactive or completed requests don't needlessly fill up the edit requests category. You may also wish to use the {{ESp}} template in the response. To request that a page be protected or unprotected, make a protection request.

@16:10 Ed says he is not a football fan but he likes watching it. If he was a football fan he'd probably be a Bradford City A.F.C. fan. Billy653 (talk) 17:30, 17 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Not done: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format. JTP ^{(talk • contribs)} 17:35, 17 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I'm suggesting that we add a sentence on to the end of Personal life section saying. "In 2011 Sheeran said he likes watching football but he is not a football fan. If he was a football fan he'd probably be a Bradford City A.F.C. fan."

Additional Acting Credit.

Can someone add to the acting credits his cameo appearance in "Bridget Jones Baby" in 2016?

= Ed Sheeran Plays Under Dictatorships

It can be noted that this performer has willingly chosen to play under a military dictatorship. Presently, Thailand is under a military junta which is jailing people for simple political protests and Ed Sheeran has just confirmed that he will play under this Junta. ^[1] NaturalEquality (talk) 00:42, 11 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
