I'm afraid we can generally only take free licensed images, as described in Wikipedia:Image use policy. That restricts the images we can use greatly; in fact, for many articles we can't find any images at all. The one that's there now is from a Creative Commons Attribution licensed video at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GnDmQpxQaO8 - if you want to take a different frame from that that you would prefer, that would work, or I could possibly even help. But we need the free license, we can't just take any old image from the Internet. --GRuban (talk) 22:39, 20 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Understood, thanks/sorry! (first time caller here...) He just looks profoundly unhappy in that frame. Theiceisslippery (talk) 22:48, 20 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I just looked for a frame where he was looking at the camera and didn't have his mouth open. (As an expert on expressions, I'm... a computer programmer.

) If you can find a happier or otherwise better one in that video, say what time offset. GRuban (talk) 23:33, 20 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I think the best bet might be at 12:48, a moment where his eyeline is almost to the camera and his mouth is mostly closed, when the subtitles momentarily go away. He looks slightly less miserable! 🤣 Theiceisslippery (talk) 00:16, 21 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

12:48. Better?
The first one, for comparison

I think it's much better -- thank you for your help/sticking with it! Theiceisslippery (talk) 14:00, 21 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
