Hi Soman. I added a picture to the Template:Did you know nominations/Üçayak Byzantine Church. Just FYI, you would have to approve it as a free image. Thank you for your review. Take care. Dr.  K.  22:18, 2 December 2016 (UTC)

Hi again Soman. Sorry about that, but would it be at all possible for you to approve ALT1? I think it is more interesting. I added it today. Thank you. Dr.  K.  22:22, 13 December 2016 (UTC)

WikiCup December newsletter: WikiCup 2017
On 1 January 2017, WikiCup 2017 (the 10th Annual WikiCup) will begin. This year we are trying something a little different – monetary prizes.

For the WC2017 the prizes will be as follows (amounts are based in US$ and will be awarded in the form of an online Amazon gift certificate):
 * First place – $200
 * Second & Third place – $50 each
 * Category prizes – $25 per category (which will be limited to FA, FL, FP, GA, and DYK for 2017). Winning a category prize does not require making it to the final round.

Note: Monetary prizes are a one-year experiment for 2017 and may or may not be continued in the future. In order to be eligible to receive any of the prizes above, the competing Wikipedia account must have a valid/active email address. After two years as a WikiCup judge, Figureskatingfan is stepping down. We thank her for her contributions as a WikiCup judge. We are pleased to announce that our newest judge is two-time WikiCup champion Cwmhiraeth.

The judges for the 2017 WikiCup are, , and.

Hello!
Kindly review my edits on the article Communist Party of India (Marxist–Leninist) and please have a look at the articles Lal Sena and Srikakulam peasant uprising and please give suggestions. Thank you. Hope you reply. Yours sincerely, Maaley (talk) 06:19, 19 December 2016 (UTC)

All India Ezhai Makkal Munnetra Kazhagam
Hello there! Me again. I'm sorry to be such a pain in the rear. I'm working on the giant orphan backlog and several of the Indian political party stubs are at the top of the list here (in alphabetical order). It's certainly not your responsibility to fix them, but I'm hoping you may have some familiarity with the topic (which I do not) and may be able to help with relative ease. The first ones on my list are All India Ezhai Makkal Munnetra Kazhagam and All India Makkal Munnetra Kazhagam, both of which have no refs and are orphaned. Browsing the web, I could only find English sources (though I'm limited by only speaking English). Any thoughts on these? If you point me towards refs, I'd be happy to clean them up. Or if you know of articles that might reasonably link to these, that would be excellent. If you think it'd be best to redirect them somewhere or even put them up for deletion, that's fine too. I'd appreciate any thoughts on the matter. Thanks for your time. Happy editing! Ajpolino (talk) 23:48, 18 December 2016 (UTC)
 * No problem. Regarding All India Ezhai Makkal Munnetra Kazhagam, I found only 1 ref in English. In Tamil the search just gave 10 results, none which qualifies for WP:RS. --Soman (talk) 10:22, 19 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Ok, I'll PROD it. If you think of anything or would like more eyes on it, feel free to let me know or remove the PROD, and I can take it to AfD for more opinions instead. Cheers! Ajpolino (talk) 14:44, 19 December 2016 (UTC)
