Semi-protected edit request on 6 October 2014

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

I would like to change her picture to this https://encrypted-tbn2.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQZIXLWogX2LNZVlyz1TXyROnakelJQnbQCDmSZK95Df1QK80It5FxSJMty

Okay here is what you need to ask yourself first:

1. Is the image free to use? Please read: (WP:COPYRIGHT), and (Wikipedia:FAQ/Copyright).

2. Is the image recent? Having a recent image of Rebecca would be better than having an older one.

If the image is of free use then feel free to upload it here: [1] if it is not free it will be swiftly deleted. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 23:23, 6 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Biographical Information

Regarding "As of June 2013, her grandmother lives in Illinois, and her aunts and uncles live around the U.S." Is there a particular reason why this is relevant?

No, I removed it. Beach drifter (talk) 08:03, 19 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

File:Rebecca Black, Pitch Perfect.jpg historical?

I am very wary of the copyright status of this image, the uploader has stated that the image in question is "Historical" is there anyway to confirm this? - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 21:21, 20 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Philanthropy

I have removed the self serving philanthropy section. The sourcing was dubious and there was no mention of an amount. A one time donation of an undisclosed sum of money is far from noteworthy information. Ridernyc (talk) 11:58, 12 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
