Coren is in this photo, from Wikimania 2009 Options

[Daniel Brandt]

This is as close as I can get to a photo of Coren (Marc-André Pelletier), but the label on this photo is sloppy and I don't know which one he is. He was on the "Growing Pains" panel, day two, at Wikimania 2009. I'm trying to add to my collection of arbitrators on hivemind.

Can anyone tell me if he's in this photo? I think that's Cary Bass on the left, so that leaves three choices: 1. solid light-colored shirt, 2. blue and white striped shirt, and 3. dark shirt on the extreme right.

There's an "ogg" video file here that's an hour and a half long, but I don't have a video player that can handle it. While the resolution on that video is horrible, it may at least offer a clue as to who is who, if all else fails. But someone must know the answer without going to all the trouble of listening to it.

Somey is right, Coren is the speaker at the podium. The video is a static shot from far away so you won't see any more than in the screenshot.

(It looks like I posted my reply just as Mr Brandt was posing his question to Somey. The camera actually zooms out a few seconds into the video so everyone gets slightly smaller. Coren never steps away from the podium. I honestly can't tell if he wears glasses or has a beard, or evn if his shirt has long or short sleeves. )

I probably had my glasses on, though they are frameless and tend to be discreet even in good lighting conditions. No beard.

Incidentally, I have a rather squeaky voice when I talk (and mikes do evil things to it), but I sing a powerful bass. Go figure.

None of the pictures you guys have found are me -- and I doubt you can find any; I didn't see any Wikimania pictures that had me visible except from the back in a few crowd shots. None of the social site pictures either.

I'm half tempted to put you out of your misery by providing a picture provided you do not misstate my involvement with the dirty story site: I am the *system* administrator; saying that I administer it without qualification would be akin to say that the white house electrician administers the presidency.

Here's my offer: provide a usable picture for hivemind, and a birthdate, and your "Coren" entry with that picture will look like this:
