Unflattering portraits

Michel_Rousseau_(swimmer) (T-H-L), fortunately this photo isn't used in his bio.

The one that is used is not particularly flattering either:

Dutch bridge player Bauke Muller (T-H-L).


He is nicknamed "the professor" because of his habit of very long pauses for thought.

When I saw the picture I thought it was a prisoner at a court hearing. The orange shirt, the drab background, the body language, ...

This may or may not be appearing in Billy Woods (T-H-L) at any given time, depending on who is winning the edit war over it, because "He is known for often obscuring his face in promotional media."

If it actually is Woods. If he hides his face, how can we tell?

You know, I think that when someone goes most of their life looking like “A,” but then make their way steadily toward “D-“ or “F” as, say, the cancer really takes hold, maybe Wiki oughta do the decent thing, and mostly show them as they’d want to be remembered, within reasonable limits.

Since this contains the concepts “decency” and “reasonableness,” it doesn’t stand a chance on Wiki, of course.

It’d be nice, though.

He's banned on five wikis so far, but still a valued member of Wikimedia District of Columbia, where he's on the public policy committee. He's also active on the wikipediaweekly Facebook group. They all know he's the incorrigible slowking4.

Was going to make a joke about the Russian crooner with the bad picture. Something like 'the wish.com version of Wayne Newton.'

Looks like Mickey Rourke in a Wayne Newton biopic.

A little judicious AI upscaling really brings out the joy in his face.

Canadian game show host Adam Growe (T-H-L).


Photo taken by Bull-Doser (T-C-L), who was community banned on enwiki in 2012. He's still toiling away on commons uploading photos of cars.

Bull-Doser is currently the subject of a discussion on Commons where it looks like they will be banned from uploading images. Apparently people don't appreciate the efforts of this volunteer paparazzo.

Heh. He's well-known among the semi-famous of Montreal as "Creepy Lil' Guy"

The Creepy Lil' Guy was a man we didn't really know, who was always outside the window Chez Roger with his phone and taking photos of us without ever talking to us. He was like a squirrel; as soon as we came near, he ran away.

I came across that photo by hitting random BLP a few times and didn't really look in to his history.

The three related articles for me are other equestrians, all with similar pictures. I’m surprised there aren’t headshots for at least one of the four.

Took me ages to find this guy again, but I remember someone showing me British comedian Michael McIntyre (T-H-L) having what looks like a Nazi salute as his picture years ago. I’m surprised it hasn’t been changed.

What a beautiful example of the bad effects of DiCkLicAtiOn ( and other MoS Minion Madness) on article titles.

I did a google image search, he seems to have some sort of condition in that eye, it never looks as open as the other. Unlike a lot of these this is not a picture someone just snapped when he wasn't expecting it, it is a non-free image from a profile on some website.

I am not sure you can call it a portrait when the guy is wearing a mask, but ...

If you look at the file history, it was zoomed in from what appears to be a screeenshot from a youtube video.
