Media release
Given that http://newsroom.uts.edu.au/news/2010/10/letters-and-numbers is a media release, might the photo used be acceptable to use here? 59.167.126.21 (talk) 22:05, 2 April 2011 (UTC)


 * Good question. I'm not up to date on whether including the photo with a press release means that it is in the public domain. You might wish to read Image use policy for some guidance. I haven't tracked down a relevant discussion board, but when I do I'll ask for a more input. Blarneytherinosaur gabby? 12:54, 4 April 2011 (UTC)


 * It's completely fine under fair use in Australia, where the document is sourced. From a legal point of view it is fine. However from a Wikipedia policy point of view there's a high chance someone will CC claim it and request deletion, so don't bother. I've looked everywhere for a photograph for this article that won't be arbitrarily deleted but cannot find one, although there are several hundred that could legally be used, again, policy won't allow it. 211.30.150.122 (talk) 05:05, 8 February 2012 (UTC)


 * What about her official Facebook or the official SBS Website for Letters and Numbers? I'm sorry I don't really understand the whole image licensing thing. --Tregelen (talk) 06:10, 25 June 2012 (UTC)

Birthdate and nationality
The editor who is repeatedly inserting needs to read Biographies of living persons. You must provide a source citing a birthdate and nationality; I couldn't find anything other than a year and a town. I particularly point you at WP:NPF, and for that matter the notice on the top of this talk page. Josh Parris 21:47, 28 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Googling "australian passport" +nationality shows zero hits. Nationality does not appear on Australian passports, and is not defined by Australian passports.  It has not been established that Serna holds an Australian passport.  Nationality is a matter of self-identification.  Nationality can't be inferred from a place of birth.  It is incorrect to say she is an Israeli, as there are no WP:Reliable Sources saying she is, and there's no mention of her birthplace other than in an unreliable source.

personal life
I got warnings for using the Daily Mail Australia as a source (WP:DAILYMAIL). The articles seem to be citing Serna's own Instagram account and embellishing with well-known background. I decided to leave the Daily Mail references, but add the Instagram links that are self-published by the subject of this article. I did not find other sources for her engagement or motherhood, but have no reason to doubt her official Instagram account. --Scott Davis Talk 14:45, 16 May 2020 (UTC)
