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!

 * Gnome-colors-list-remove.svg Tonywalton • AmiDaniel • Silence • BanyanTree • Magioladitis • Vanamonde93 • Mr.Z-man • Jdavidb • Jakec • Ram-Man • Yelyos • Kurt Shaped Box

 * Following a discussion about mass-application of ECP and how the need for logging and other details of an evolving consensus may have been missed by some administrators, a rough guide to extended confirmed protection has been written. This information page describes how the extended-confirmed aspects of the protection policy are currently being applied by administrators.

Technical news
 * You can now search for IP ranges at Special:Contributions. Some log pages and Special:DeletedContributions are not yet supported. Wildcards (e.g. 192.168.0.*) are also not supported, but the popular contribsrange gadget will continue to work.

Arbitration
 * Community consultation on the 2017 candidates for CheckUser and Oversight has concluded. The Arbitration Committee will appoint successful candidates by October 11.
 * A request for comment is open regarding the structure, rules, and procedures of the December 2017 Arbitration Committee election, and how to resolve any issues not covered by existing rules.

DYK for Optima Signature

Coordinates for Optima Signature
Antonio, your coords were off a considerable distance for the Optima Signature. Where did you get them? I fixed them. Abductive (reasoning) 03:38, 12 October 2017 (UTC)
 * , When you enter "https://www.google.ca/maps/place/Optima+Signature" in the address bar it fills itself in with "https://www.google.ca/maps/place/Optima+Signature/@49.891235,-97.15369,4z/data=!3m1!4b1" and populates the search bar with Optima Signature.

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. Randy Kryn (talk) 12:27, 31 October 2017 (UTC)
 * , maybe we should talk offline.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 21:07, 13 November 2017 (UTC)

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)

 * , 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)
