Update profile photo
The profile picture is outdated and it doesn't even show his face. It should be updated to one of Prince George's latest photos. --75.32.33.164 (talk) 19:32, 24 October 2013 (UTC)
- Donate a copyright-free image to Wikimedia Commons and we'd be happy to use it. HelenOnline 19:54, 24 October 2013 (UTC)
- How would I know if it's copyright-free? --75.32.33.164 (talk) 22:13, 24 October 2013 (UTC)
- They're not exactly flooding in yet over at Commons. Martinevans123 (talk) 22:33, 24 October 2013 (UTC)
- If you took it yourself, you would know it's copyright free. The point is, the people who did take these photos are not exactly giving them away and we are not allowed to use non-free images on Wikipedia. HelenOnline 04:35, 25 October 2013 (UTC)
Could the "Royal Family" box be relocated to cause less disruption to the two column list of refs? (I realise this is likely to be less of an issue if you're on less than 200% zoom.) Uncle Harry gets it a bit higher up. Thanks. Martinevans123 (talk) 21:00, 24 October 2013 (UTC)
Delete this article?
The child has done nothing except was born. Not notable. When he talks and makes a gaffe at age five, maybe.
Also, wikipedia determined that Malia Obama cannot have an article (want to try starting one?) so this baby shouldn't. We shouldn't have discrimination against Black people. Stephanie Bowman (talk) 05:03, 25 October 2013 (UTC)
- Think this got covered not long after Prince George was born, or even before, and consensus was to keep the article. Feel free to nominate for deletion though if you feel that strongly.--Egghead06 (talk) 05:09, 25 October 2013 (UTC)
- So your WP:POV is that WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS based on reverse WP:DISCRIMINATION? Or is it just a case of WP:IDONTLIKEIT? DerbyCountyinNZ (Talk Contribs) 06:01, 25 October 2013 (UTC)
- Good heavens! You mean the British Royal Family are all white?! Martinevans123 (talk) 07:59, 25 October 2013 (UTC)
- Not quite (not that I am endorsing the accuracy of the science quoted there). HelenOnline 08:11, 25 October 2013 (UTC)
- You think the reason we have this article and not one for Malia Obama is because of racism? That's a pretty absurd (not to mention bad-faith) assumption. — Richard BB 08:14, 25 October 2013 (UTC)
- At present, the young Prince is third in line to becoming the monarch of 16 realms, that is the notability. As in the case of any hereditary monarchy that could happen sooner than any having allegiance to the reigning monarch would expect or desire, due to a coincidence of circumstances (and like a line of succession in any other family, royal, noble or otherwise, including families with any members over 35 years of age who would be constitutionally eligible for election as POTUS). Qexigator (talk) 14:57, 25 October 2013 (UTC)
- I must have missed something? According to what constitution will Ms Malia Obama be the head of state of what country? SergeWoodzing (talk) 16:06, 25 October 2013 (UTC)

- Like any other American who is of age and otherwise eligible may she not be elected POTUS under the laws and customs of that republic? Have I missed something? Anyhow, that is off the article topic and will not improve the article. Qexigator (talk) 16:20, 25 October 2013 (UTC)
