Information

Is it just me, or does some of the trivia seem a bit stalker-ish? Michael 00:24, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

Yes, it is a bunch of mostly irrelevant trivia. For all we know, it was completely made up. Anyway, I've moved it here pending a good source (not the IMDB or similar sites, just to pre-empt):

"* Has a younger sister named Madison

• Her nickname is Vicky
• Long time friend with ex co-star Alexa Nikolas (Nikolas left Zoey 101 in 2006)
• Has appeared on the cover of American Girl magazine
• Is allergic to many animals
• Loves mini-oreo cookies
• Wants to learn "Hawaiian"
• Is a straight A student
• She was born at 12:03 in the morning
• Has an official message board
• Is friends with the actress Brooke Scher (Jason Goes to Hell)"

Mad Jack 01:09, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

Well, that's good. I really don't see how cookie preferences or the time she was born have a significant amount of importance to her life. Michael 01:16, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

I hope people don't get ideas from this list... Michael 08:58, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

can someone please tell me when she was a model, its in the first sentence but not mentioned again —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.12.157.234 (talk) 02:31, 31 May 2010 (UTC)

Mother's nationality

Several reverts have taken place changing her nationality from Puerto Rican to Punjabi and back. Anyone have a source for either? --TeaDrinker 01:06, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

errr.... the source cited - her official site - says Puerto Rican. That's why I cited it when I added the info. :) Mad Jack 06:25, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

Quite so; I guess I was working too fast and didn't see it... Apologies. -- TeaDrinker 20:30, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

Justice's Work as a Spokesperson

Ok, So Here's the Detail. She Works with Build-A-Bear Workshop as a Spokesperson. There is NO DETAIL OF HER WORK WITH THEM IN THIS ARTICLE. But If You to Build-A-Bear Workshop Wikipedia You'll See in Key People: VIctoria Justice (spokesperson) Think they should put it here too as part of her career i think. So I'll put it. Somebody else agree?

Racial group

Why the hell does it matter to you that she has some distant links to various countries? Trace anyone back far enough, we're all African... Should we add that? J Milburn (talk) 17:08, 20 April 2008 (UTC)

Victoria is not just of Irish and Puerto Rican descent, but also of English, French and German descent. Shouldn't we add that to her also since she is of all those descents?

No, just of her parents, who are identified. Traces of other descents are unnecessary trivia and dilute the usefulness of this type of categorization. Hispanic is probable but not specific in article so is speculation. --NrDg 13:15, 22 April 2008 (UTC)And she had two dogs.

Sorry, but that one is copyrighted an unacceptable. I did find a better-looking one that is year newer, though. liquidluck✽talk 04:15, 19 April 2010 (UTC)

i am trying to upload this photo, it is not copyrighted..i just cant get it to upload to the page. please help! File:Victoria-justice-kids-choice-awards-2011-5-435x580.jpg — Preceding unsigned comment added by Snb97 (talk • contribs) 05:50, 18 September 2011 (UTC)

We can't use this image as it is not free use. Free-use images are required to illustrate living people on wiki. See http://www.gettyimages.com/detail/111445316/Getty-Images-Entertainment so see copyright details. Extremely unlikely to get a free-use release from Getty Images. Geraldo Perez (talk) 06:21, 18 September 2011 (UTC)

sorry, ok..will this one work? thumb|Add caption here

Probably not. As a rule, any image you found on a website is not usable. —C.Fred (talk) 22:30, 18 September 2011 (UTC)

well, can someone please post a new image...the one that's currently posted is very outdated. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Snb97 (talk • contribs) 01:23, 19 September 2011 (UTC)

Then please provide us with one. Be sure that it is free (public domain); if you have one, I can help explain how to upload it. Qwyrxian (talk) 04:04, 19 September 2011 (UTC)

how do i make sure it is Public Domain??? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.199.135.117 (talk) 15:15, 21 October 2011 (UTC)

The photographer will have very clearly stated that it's public domain (or under a Creative Commons license, which can also work for getting the image on Wikipedia). If the picture doesn't say, it's assumed to be under copyright and unusable by Wikipedia. —C.Fred (talk) 15:21, 21 October 2011 (UTC)

Can this picture be used? http://www.eftekasat.net/details.php?image_id=208725 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.199.135.117 (talk) 21:55, 30 October 2011 (UTC)

No. The image you linked to is copyrighted by whoever took it. I don't see anything to indicate that the photographer released it to the public domain. --Daniel 23:02, 30 October 2011 (UTC)

what if you just give credit to the names listed on this one & upload it? http://backseatcuddler.com/2011/08/15/victoria-justice-is-just-adorable-at-the-do-something-awards/wenn3471454/ — Preceding Snb97 comment added by 71.199.135.117 (talk) 23:11, 30 October 2011 (UTC)

Read and understand Wikipedia:Non-free content. Your suggestion is not acceptable. --Daniel 00:42, 31 October 2011 (UTC)

That one is almost usable. There's some ambiguity about how it's licensed and whether commercial re-use is allowed. If that were made clear—if it were licensed under Creative Commons and so stated on that page, for instance—we could use it. —C.Fred (talk) 23:40, 31 October 2011 (UTC)

Can someone else find a usable recent picture...cuz im not having any sucess! —snb97 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.199.135.117 (talk) 14:18, 1 November 2011 (UTC)

Source for middle name?

Her DOB is in her bio, but I don't see her middle name. Have we got a source for that? —C.Fred (talk) 21:42, 26 March 2010 (UTC)

Couldn't find verify it, so I took it out. Her official site is going through an update, though, so perhaps it'll turn up on that. liquidluck✽talk 04:16, 19 April 2010 (UTC)

http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1842439/bio is the source for her middle name. Adding it now. --Vreddy92 (talk) 12:55, 29 April 2010 (UTC)

The problem is, IMDB is only weakly reliable. It'd be best to get it sourced from somewhere else. —C.Fred (talk) 13:14, 29 April 2010 (UTC)

You're the Reason?

An IP has added "Your the Reason" ^[sic] to the singles section. Is there any verification of this single? —C.Fred (talk) 22:33, 28 April 2010 (UTC)

I don't believe so. It's not on iTunes. However, I wouldn't be surprised if it eventually became one. --Vreddy92 (talk) 06:52, 29 April 2010 (UTC)

No matter what, You're the Reason is a single. If it wasn't, it wouldn't have a cover showing it (I downloaded the song, and I found a cover went with it). -- VictoriaJusticeFan1 (talk) 13:01, 22 February 2011 (UTC)

Year of birth?

Quoting from the archived About Victoria page:[1] "Born in Hollywood, Florida on February 19 at 12:03am, Victoria had just made it to being a Pisces, like her mother and grandmother before her. Victoria got the acting bug at age 8 while watching a typical children’s commercial." Do we know what year she got the acting bug? That's the only place I see where we can link her age to a date to verify her date of birth. —C.Fred (talk) 13:52, 29 April 2010 (UTC)

Ya know, as for her actual birth year, I'd be inclined to try and find a source from BEFORE the marketing of her new show began, as these factories that churn out child stars are notorious for obfuscating their ages to retain appeal with their target demographic. In this case, I find it very difficult to believe she has only just turned 17. In addition to looking a couple years older, her current listed birth year would mean she was barely 13 when she started Zoey 101.
--K10wnsta (talk) 04:36, 2 May 2010 (UTC)

Addendum: I agree with your earlier assessment, C.Fred, that IMDB is only weakly reliable, and as to her birth year, I wouldn't want to rely on it without also seeing some sort of archived page from a couple years ago that shows the same information. Problem is, where else could we get birth records?
--K10wnsta (talk) 04:42, 2 May 2010 (UTC)

hehe...I guess I could have just gone back to the very first version of this page (9-11-2005) to see her birthdate still listed as Feb 1993. Go ahead and disregard everything I said above, I'm very clearly retarded.
--K10wnsta (talk) 04:49, 2 May 2010 (UTC)

Well, not birth records per se, but some kind of a biography that lists her date of birth. I agree that the more her show is getting marketed, the less will be revealed about her age. It may take a combination of two sources (her birthday is X, and on date Y, she was Z years old) to put the pieces together. —C.Fred (talk) 04:50, 2 May 2010 (UTC)

• The Family Circle article has pinned it down.[2] It was published in the May 2010 issue (check the last page of the online version) and says Justice is 17. 2010−17=1993. It's a little bit of extraction of data, but it gets us to the date. —C.Fred (talk) 22:02, 1 August 2010 (UTC)

Her father is a car dealer from South Carolina

I know YouTube isn't usually considered a source, but I recently found this TV commercial from a couple of years ago(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ISttTBdKT24). Can this be used for anything? ----DanTD (talk) 13:46, 14 August 2010 (UTC)

Well, we can't link to it, because there is no indication that the poster owns the copyright (which is pretty much true 99% of the time on YouTube for stuff from TV). If we had a reliable source that said she was in the commercial, we would just add a line that said something like "Justice appeared in a commercial with her father for his car dealership. + REF"Qwyrxian (talk) 14:16, 14 August 2010 (UTC) vicky my sis is a brat she treats everyone badly she pants me in puplic i was humlated my friends called me monkey but i did not like it( please note shes a diva brat )

Piano

According to Victoria Justice herself, she also plays the piano, so I will be adding that instrument to her list of instrumentsDiscovermine (talk) 13:18, 22 February 2011 (UTC).

Check out this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x63-WIZhjBs. It is her covering Forget You by Cee Lo Green on piano. So, that is proof of her playing piano. -- VictoriaJusticeFan1 (Talk) 13:11, 22 February 2011 (UTC)

Freak the Freak Out & Victoria Justice article merge?

Victoria Justice stars in the upcoming movie "Fun Size"

Do you have a reliable source for that? - SummerPhD (talk) 23:48, 28 March 2011 (UTC)

Huh? Huh?

This article states: "She and her family relocated to Hollywood, California, in 2003. In 2005, she auditioned and was accepted into the musical theatre program at Los Angeles' renowned Performing Arts Magnet school. Her family moved from Hollywood, Florida, to Los Angeles when she was 11 after Justice had stated she wanted to be a part of filming commercials as well as television series and films." Did she and her family move twice to CA or what?
