Im making a request to provide more detailed information about Selenas life and career and change the photo to a more current one of her as a adult before she passed

 Not done: it's not clear what changes you want made. Please detail the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format and provide a reliable source if appropriate. crtbob @talk:~$ ls contribs 13:22, 21 August 2026 (UTC)Reply
Bscott92 anyone, who is an autoconfirmed user, can edit this article. Check out how to become one, which is a simple process, and edit the article with reliable sources. Check out this link on how to write Wikipedia articles and I'd suggest practicing in your sandbox first to get comfortable. For the photo request, Wikipedia has strict image policies, and the current photo was uploaded by a user and the non-free image of Selena in 1994 that was displayed was promptly removed. If you have any free images of Selena you would like to include, check out the policies regarding images before uploading one. Hope this helps – jona ✉ 22:59, 23 August 2026 (UTC)Reply

Can someone put back the original picture? Bimshire1999 (talk) 20:15, 1 November 2026 (UTC)Reply

Copyrighted pictures are not added when free alternatives exist. Disliking a picture is not a reason to do it as well. Tbhotch™ (CC BY-SA 4.0) 20:26, 1 November 2026 (UTC)Reply
So, you can’t add a picture from 1994? ~2026-58144-70 (talk) 20:29, 1 November 2026 (UTC)Reply
