User talk:Buaidh/Join this regional identity category

Hi @Buaidh:, I'm researching Wikipedia userboxes, and you have a lot of nationality/ethnicity userboxes on this page that it is clear you are not all of these descents. I am trying to gather data, and having all of these in there is adding a lot of noise into the data, and making the process unnecessarily difficult. I'm letting you know that on January 4th, I am going to temporarily delete these boxes from this user subpage, so I can collect the data I need without this noise, and I will revert those edits 7 days later, after I have gathered the data. Cheers. --Theredproject (talk) 17:18, 23 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you very much for letting me know. If any of these categories have members other than this page, I can delete the category from this page. Yours aye, Buaidh talk contribs 19:23, 23 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

FYI, I just disabled the categories. Will restore them in 7 days. Thanks! Theredproject (talk) 11:14, 5 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Buaidh:, @Theredproject: the problem with this is now all the hundreds of categories that only contained this page are empty and so subject to speedy deletion: this is a mess. Pinging @Liz: who will certainly be negatively affected by this as well. 02:45, 8 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I have reverted the changes. Sorry, I never meant to create problems.Theredproject (talk) 22:22, 9 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
