replies: text:  I did consider that when I found this thing last night, though I decided against it because I expect that we'll find a suitable picture for the header soon, and then the other picture can stay. Iseult Δx parlez moi 06:06, 5 June 2022 (UTC)

text: Go out with your camera, take a new picture of her, upload it here. Do not try to upload other people's pictures of her, they will be deleted because copyright. If someone who has contact with Rebel Wilson happens to read this, she can take a previously-unpublished-anywhere selfie and upload it herself. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 22:24, 5 June 2022 (UTC)

text: Or she could just take a selfie and post it to her social media saying "this is a public domain image of me". But there is no need for her to be personally involved: like most celebrities, she probably gets vast numbers of nutters trying to contact her, and celebrities put up walls against such things. But maybe you could contact her Australian agent (https://creativerep.com.au/artists/rebel-wilson/) or these people (https://www.tavistockwood.com/clients/rebel-wilson/) and make them aware of how this situation could be resolved. Both have public email addresses and phone numbers. Then their people can talk to her people, etc. She also probably has PR people to handle this sort of thing, who are probably empowered to do the same this directly; same deal applies with this, but I don't have contact details for them. There's no shortage of good photos of her already; it just needs approval from someone with the authority to do so, probably via WP:OTRS. — The Anome (talk) 14:52, 6 June 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm not sure Commons would accept "her social media saying "this is a public domain image of me"" but they might, I don't know the specific rules on that. I think it would be easier if the selfie/social media clearly stated "This file is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 4.0 International license", but I'm not sure which if any social media you can do that on. Apparently nobody at the Daily Mail mentioned Commons to her, but otoh that's not their job. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 15:53, 6 June 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: I would see "this is a public domain image of me" from a person who just took that image themselves as a pretty clear dedication to the public domain. Perhaps "this is a public domain image of me, taken by me" might be even better. But as I said above, the most practical way to do this, without having to bother her personally, is to contact her agents via either of the public contact points I gave above. — The Anome (talk) 21:13, 6 June 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: Fair enough, but IMO the most practical way to do this from the WP/Commons POV, is article-subject-uploads-previously-unpublished-selfie-on-Commons-themselves.

message: Could you change the picture to something more recent. As she has changed a lot lately it would be better to have an image that reflects the real her. (And she requested it on social) Smaanx (talk) 17:57, 4 June 2022 (UTC)

message: I understand that Rebel Wilson, who now looks completely different to the current photo in this article, would like a better photograph to replace the existing one, and that this is getting some press attention. 
If she, or her representatives, or someone else who has personally taken a recent photograph of her, would like to upload a new photo to Wikimedia Commons, granting the right for the picture to be licensed under Wikimedia Commons' licensing rules, it can be used in this article immediately. 
Without the proper copyright license, however, newer images cannot be used as we already have a license-compliant image, and only an entity with the legal capacity to sub-license it, such as the copyright owner, can grant that license. — The Anome (talk) 13:41, 5 June 2022 (UTC)

replies: text: Yes, but it's not at "A defining characteristic is one that reliable sources commonly and consistently define the subject as having—such as nationality or notable profession (in the case of people), type of location or region (in the case of places)," is it? But at least there are sources. Fwiw, my understanding of WP:CATDEF is that it too early to have those cats here. They aren't meant for LGBT-tagging.
