Looking for suggestions (Bio of Marco Averà, CEO of Snam)

Hi TonyTheTiger, I have recently submitted a draft containing the biography of Marco Alverà, CEO of Snam, the main natural gas infrastructure company in Italy (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Marco_Alver%C3%A0). I read several biographies curated by you and I thought this content might be of interest. I was wondering if you could have a look and tell me what you think. Thank you in advance! Anna Sai (talk) 13:08, 2 October 2017 (UTC)

    • Hi Tony, thank you for the time you spent visiting the draft. Can you pls suggest any member involved in the WP:AFC process for a final check? Thank you!

Edgar Wallace

Hello. Thanks for adding the Edgar Wallace template to articles. My only question is regarding the addition to What Have You Done to Solange?. According to the articles prose, the film was promoted as being based on an Edgar Wallace novel in Germany, but it does not actually really base anything off of it, outside some girls wearing a green pin from the novel of the same name (The Green Pin). Should this template still be used if its not really an adaptation? Not sure what our standards are on this. Andrzejbanas (talk) 17:28, 27 October 2017 (UTC)

Art Institute, works and possible Wikipedian in residence

Hello Tony. Was in Chicago and at the Art Institute recently on a trip, and met with a representative to suggest that someone work on putting up pages about works in their collection. She was going to talk to the administration and seemed to be generally interested in improving their coverage here. I left your user name as related to the Chicago project. Their overall Wikipedia presence is pretty weak (see Category:Paintings of the Art Institute of Chicago) with only 35 category entries (I added a link to the 35th earlier, and there are probably others not categorized, I'll hunt around the site to see if I can find more). But a majority of their important works do not have pages, including the Chagall stained glass window (!), many of their impressionists, Pollacks, and others. So maybe an Art Institute of Chicago Wikipedian in residence could be arranged. Just an idea right now, but wanted to pass the thought on to you. This is a grand museum in the tradition of the Paris treasures, yet, to the detriment of them, the art world, and this encyclopedia, is underrepresented here. On a side note, they only seem to have one Pre-Raphaelite painting (one of the three Beata Beatrix's, I spent at least 20 minutes "with" it), which is a hole in their own collection.

I'm a little shy about making a dramatic addition to the very old, stable, much-viewed featured article Campbell's Soup Cans, but the description of the works there as silkscreens isn't supported by the Warhol Catalogue Raisonne and info put on MoMA's web site since the bulk of the article was created.

I have communicated with the photographer of the IL House Democratic Staff who is responsible for distribution of photographs of Representative Flowers. He responded with the following: "As far as your worries on the copyright issue, since the state has the copyrights to the photos, we can dictate what we do with the pictures. So you should be fine." The photograph was taken by a Legislative Staff photographer and provided for use on the Illinois General Assembly website that displays short State Representative biographies. Representative Mary Flowers has authorized use of this, her official photograph. I have been provided additional photographs by the same photographer. The same photograph is displayed on another unofficial website referenced in the Wikipedia bio of Representative Flowers. KRDew1947 (talk) 03:27, 21 November 2017 (UTC)

New Page Reviewing

Hello, TonyTheTiger.

As one of Wikipedia's most experienced Wikipedia editors,
Would you please consider becoming a New Page Reviewer? Reviewing/patrolling a page doesn't take much time but it requires a good understanding of Wikipedia policies and guidelines; currently Wikipedia needs experienced users at this task. (After gaining the flag, patrolling is not mandatory. One can do it at their convenience). But kindly read the tutorial before making your decision. Thanks. — Insertcleverphrasehere (or here) 21:26, 1 December 2017 (UTC)

readded JzG
removed Ericorbit • Perceval • Thingg • Tristanb • Violetriga

Guideline and policy news

  • Following a request for comment, a new section has been added to the username policy which disallows usernames containing emoji, emoticons or otherwise "decorative" usernames, and usernames that use any non-language symbols. Administrators should discuss issues related to these types of usernames before blocking.

Technical news

Arbitration

Miscellaneous

  • Over the last few months, several users have reported backlogs that require administrator attention at WP:ANI, with the most common backlogs showing up on WP:SPI, WP:AIV and WP:RFPP. It is requested that all administrators take some time during this month to help clear backlogs wherever possible. It should be noted that AIV reports are not always valid; however, they still need to be cleared, which may include needing to remind users on what qualifies as vandalism.
  • The Wikimedia Foundation Community health initiative is conducting a survey for English Wikipedia contributors on their experience and satisfaction level with Administrator’s Noticeboard/Incidents. This survey will be integral to gathering information about how this noticeboard works (i.e. which problems it deals with well and which problems it struggles with). If you would like to take this survey, please sign up on this page, and a link for the survey will be emailed to you via Special:EmailUser.

Regarding the numbers, I left an explanation in the sophomore section of the review. However, the "Comparable quantities" part might be open to interpretation, so you can do what you think is best. Thanks. WikiOriginal-9 (talk) 03:08, 7 December 2017 (UTC)

Buffalo, New York

I just wanted to let you know that over the next two months, I'll be putting a lot of work into the Buffalo article to try to get it to GA. I've checked out around 6 books that I'll look at over break.

Do you have any suggestions? If I opened a peer review, would you be willing to add thoughts there?

Thanks.

Buffaboy talk 20:27, 14 December 2017 (UTC)

  • Buffaboy, I don't know what is going on in Buffalo right now and I have not done much WP:PR reviewing since I became a fulltime Uber driver. Also, I have never taken on something as wide ranging as an article for a whole city before. I usually work on smaller neighborhoods and streets.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 23:21, 14 December 2017 (UTC)

Cite error: There are <ref> tags on this page without content in them (see the help page).

  • Thabks for your consideration, good luck with everything. Buffaboy talk 09:09, 16 December 2017 (UTC)

DYK for 930 Poydras

On 23 December 2017, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article 930 Poydras, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Poydras Street hosts many of New Orleans' tallest and historic buildings, including 930 Poydras, the first residential high-rise constructed in the city after Hurricane Katrina? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/930 Poydras. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, 930 Poydras), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Articles for Creation Reviewing

Hello, TonyTheTiger.
AfC submissions
Random submission
2+ months
2,336 pending submissions
Purge to update

I recently sent you an invitation to join NPP, but you also might be the right candidate for another related project, AfC, which is also extremely backlogged.
Would you please consider becoming an Articles for Creation reviewer? Articles for Creation reviewers help new users learn the ropes of creating their first articles, and identify whether topics are suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia. Reviewing drafts doesn't take much time but it requires a good understanding of Wikipedia inclusion policies and guidelines; currently Wikipedia needs experienced users at this task. (After requesting to be added to the project, reviewing is not mandatory. One can do it at their convenience). But kindly read the reviewing instructions before making your decision. Thanks. — Insertcleverphrasehere (or here) 03:03, 29 December 2017 (UTC)
