Hello, Gjs238. Thank you for contributing to the categorization of articles. I noticed that you have created a significant number of categories that contain only 1 article. This is unhelpful for navigation as the parent categories are not large enough to warrant diffusion. Most of these will require upmerging, further clogging up CfD. I am sure none of what I've said is reflective of your intentions here so I hope this message recieves you well. Kind regards. Οἶδα (talk) 04:54, 26 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I see you edited the Sedgwick Club - thanks! I set up a category for members which is up for deletion. So far I have populated the category with very few people - there are many, many more who read geology/Earth Science as a major part of their Natural Science degree (but I'm an active scientist so doesn't spray stuff about without evidence). Anyway, quite a lot of discussion already why not join it? Cheers. Calc-flinta (talk) 17:24, 10 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]
