Hollywood Records

Selena Gomez is not anymore at Hollywood Records (Label) -28. April 2014 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.225.176.231 (talk) 18:56, 28 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Little picture

Why the main picture is so little? you should make it bigger, it's the main picture of an importante person. In addition, it would be good if you could put a most recent picture. AleD (talk) 23:34, 29 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@AleD: The size of the image is to fit in the infobox; it shouldn't be any bigger per infobox guidelines. As for a more recent picture, that's probably the most recent free picture out there. Wikipedia can only use images under a free license; we can't use just any image found on the internet. —C.Fred (talk) 02:41, 30 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The infobox image size is supposed to default to frameless (220px) but for some reason the image in this article has suddenly shrunk to about 150px. I've fixed it for now by forcing it back to 220px. --AussieLegend (✉) 07:52, 30 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The main wiki picture.

Here are some better approved pictures, and there was one from the 2013 VMAs as well. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Josephhh999 (talk • contribs) 10:59, 7 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

All of these images have been nominated for deletion as copyright violations. --AussieLegend (✉) 13:11, 7 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The images have now been deleted. --AussieLegend (✉) 16:11, 7 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Picture Change

I think you should really change the picture because the ones at the Snowflake Ball seems a little outdated. Yaysters (talk) 07:16, 15 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

If we changed images every time someone asked ......... --AussieLegend (✉) 09:09, 15 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Time for an image change, it is 2 years old, plus is a very un flattering shot of Selena. Added an image of Selena accepting an award at the 2014 Kids Choice Awards. B.Davis2003 (talk) 12:57, 23 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I've reverted the change because it replaced a free image with a non-free image, which is a violation of WP:NFCC#1. --AussieLegend (✉) 13:04, 23 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Updated image using an existing image of Gomez. B.Davis2003 (talk) 13:14, 23 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Had you bothered to wait for my response on your talk page you would have found that you need to discuss changing the image before changing it. The image is now used twice in the article. Please fix this. --AussieLegend (✉) 13:25, 23 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Education

The article says nothing about education. Has she completed high school? College? Virgil H. Soule (talk) 14:18, 19 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I'm guessing nothing has been mentioned in a reliable source that addresses those points. (Compare with Emma Watson's college career, which got a fair bit of news coverage.) —C.Fred (talk) 15:06, 19 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Personal life

Other celebrity pages have a section labeled "personal life" or "relationships." Why doesn't she have one? Her relationships (both romantic and familial) seem to be huge entertainment type news. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.23.229.29 (talk) 06:21, 22 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

They have been incorporated into her "life and career" section. Many celebs have "personal life" section for dating and such while others have their relationships contained within "life and career". Snuggums (talk • contributions) 06:25, 22 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Trip to Nepal with UNICEF

Can someone include her recent trip to Nepal in the section of "Work with Unicef" Why is nobody updating this?

Palestinian supporter ?

Dance-pop songstress Selena Gomez meanwhile caused a stir with an image on her Instagram account that began: "It's About Humanity. Pray for Gaza."

Birthday wrong?

E! online is claiming today is her birthday.Julzes (talk) 17:49, 2 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Where? I don't see it on the home page, nor do any of the stories obviously mention her. —C.Fred (talk) 00:31, 3 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Neither do I Snuggums (talk / edits) 00:43, 3 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, am wrong. I think I must have clicked on an older link or something. Her website is clear this article is correct.Julzes (talk) 19:13, 4 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
