==Geo-stubs==
For those of you not aware of what's been going on with the geography stubs, around the end of last year I noticed that there were 4200 geo-stubs unsorted in one large category - far too many to reasonably expect anyone to go through it looking for one region's stubs. Since then I've been creating subcategories (latterly with the help of [[User:Aranel]] and a couple of others), and there are now some 30 country or region-specific subcategories, and only about 850 non-subcategorised geo-stubs. I'm now sifting through the 2400 items in [[:Category: Stub]], looking for more. As far as I'm aware, all the countries which had over 40 geo-stubs now have subcategories. Several with no subcategory have over 30 stubs (Finland, Czech Rep, Croatia, Slovenia, Hungary, and Romania). Although I can see sense in continuing further, this seems as reasonable a place to slow down with the creation of new categories as any.

As things stand, people can still simply use the [[Template:Geo-stub]] or can use the subcategories. A simple sift through [[:Category:Geography stubs]] moving things into the subcategories every couple of weeks should keep it at a useable level.
