No mention of LadBaby single?
The song "Sausage Rolls For Everyone" is worth a mention here as it features Ed Sheehan (along with Elton John) and was one of Sheeran's UK number ones. It is mentioned on John's page so a bit strange that it isn't also mentioned here. 92.15.148.117 (talk) 08:53, 3 January 2023 (UTC)

Can you please update Ed Sheeran's photo to a newer one, not one from 2018, plus he hasn't worn glasses since 2021 58.179.118.162 (talk) 21:38, 6 April 2023 (UTC)
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 and provide a reliable source if appropriate. Tollens (talk) 22:34, 6 April 2023 (UTC)
- @Tollens: and @58.179.118.162: Please give IP users an actual legit response and not an automated one like you are a bot. Actually try to help them. It is more than clear what they want changed. "Provide reliable sources", they are requesting a photo to be changed. Did you even read their request? There is a photo from 2022 but it is not well suited for the infobox because it would need to be cropped. The one from 2018 will have to do for now. We could always crop the 2022 one but I am not sure how to do that. Bowling is life (talk) 22:43, 6 April 2023 (UTC)
- @Bowling is life: I assume you are talking about File:Queen Elizabeth II Platinum Jubilee 2022 - Platinum Pageant (52124436078).jpg. Do you just want a head shot? I can crop down if you want. The mic is only problem as covers part of face. Keith D (talk) 19:09, 28 April 2023 (UTC)
- @Keith D: That photo would work. It doesn't necessarily need to be a head shot, maybe we could just cut out some of the background. Like the right side of the photo. Bowling is life (talk) 22:29, 28 April 2023 (UTC)
- @Bowling is life: OK, I have cropped the right-hand side and a little off the top. Here is the result File:Queen Elizabeth II Platinum Jubilee 2022 - Platinum Pageant (52124436078) (cropped).jpg Keith D (talk) 22:42, 28 April 2023 (UTC)

I would like to update the current info box image to a later image. The current image is from 2018 and is quite outdated. Charlie.j.Mashford199 (talk) 05:55, 30 April 2023 (UTC)
Not done: Hello Charlie.j.Mashford199, and welcome to Wikipedia! A very common reason why images on Wikipedia appear to be updated is due to our policy on the usage of copyrighted images. While it would theroretically be possible to use a privately licensed image of Ed Sheeran under fair use, policy dictates editors use a free version of a subject when available. These tend to be older images.- In this particular case, editors are already coordinating in the above section to try and get a freely licensed and more recent photo of Ed Sheeran added to the article. Feel free to participate in that discussion. Such a discussion existing precludes the edit from being performed via an edit request.
- Cheers, and happy editing! —Sirdog (talk) 06:35, 30 April 2023 (UTC)
Album numbering
Sheeran has always distinguished between his "collaborative" studio albums (No.5 ep and No.6 album) and his "solo" studio albums (+×÷=-). Should we apply the same criteria? Most sources refer to Subtract as Sheeran's fifth studio album and to Equals as his fourth. FilBenLeafBoy (talk) 17:22, 10 May 2023 (UTC)
2023 copyright infringement litigation needs adding
See Petridis (2023) on this matter.[1] The jury decision went in Sheeran's favor. See also Lee (2023).[2] RobbieIanMorrison (talk) 05:56, 6 May 2023 (UTC)
