This article has been mentioned by a media organization:

Graham Fraser (March 29, 2025). "Amateur photographers hope to fix Wikipedia's 'terrible' pictures". BBC. Retrieved March 29, 2025. A prime example: the comedian Emil Wakim, of Saturday Night Live fame. For a week last November, the photo above - apparently taken at a stand-up show in New York - was his Wikipedia picture. When it was removed, an editor noted "having no picture is better than what's currently there".

Hi GordonGlottal, thanks for the photo (and I'm super jealous that you got to see Emil perform live!). In this case, however, I'm not sure that the photo is a great addition to the article – he just kind of looks like a glowing blob and it doesn't really identify him at all. My preference at this time would be to not include a photo in the article until we can get one that is clearer. Thoughts? DanCherek (talk) 23:08, 10 November 2024 (UTC)Reply

In case Wakim or someone who knows him sees this and want to contribute a picture, see Wikipedia:A picture of you. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 06:49, 29 March 2025 (UTC)Reply
