Zara Larsson<\/a> and Perfume Genius<\/a> have pleaded with fans to help them change their Wikipedia photos to something more flattering.<\/p>\n

Larsson shared an update with fans on TikTok recently, pointing out that she has tried numerous times to swap her photo on the site for one that she likes more, but has realised that someone else has been just as eager to swap it back to the original that she dislikes.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhoever the fuck is changing this fucking Wikipedia picture to this picture, stop! Stop doing it,\u201d she said, pointing out which picture she isn\u2019t a fan of, and saying that she is determined to swap it out permanently.<\/p>\n

\u201cI will never stop, I will never stop changing that picture,\u201d she added, going on to show fans where they can find the picture that she thinks is a \u201cnice one\u201d, so they can help her swap it out.<\/p>\n

At time of writing, the photo she prefers is currently on display, and Stereogum<\/a> reports that the edit action history on the page highlights that her page has been subject to \u201cpersistent disruptive editing\u201d and a \u201crecent flood of vandalism\u201d.<\/p>\n

I will NEVER stop so you better stop because I will NEVER EVER STOP <\/p>\n

She isn\u2019t the only artist coming forward to vent frustration over their Wikipedia page, either.<\/p>\n

Recently Perfume Genius\u2019 Mike Hadreas shared that he was eager to change his image on the site, and was unhappy that it had been the same photo in place since 2017.<\/p>\n

\u201cCan someone please change my Wikipedia pictures? How do you do it? It\u2019s haunted me for years,\u201d he said on Twitter\/X, going on to jokingly exclaim that his peer Blake Mills managed to get a more flattering image.<\/p>\n

His photo has now been updated to a more recent one.<\/p>\n
