Help fixing up pages for Geography, Human geography, and Physical geography

Recently, I have gotten Technical geography to GA status. I'd like to do the same for the main geography page, as well as the pages for the human and physical geography branches. I've done some cleanup for human and physical recently in line with feedback I've received on the technical and main geography page. I'd appreciate any help involving citations and cleanup. I should note that human geography has been the weekly article for improvement twice, but is still a disaster. GeogSage ^{(⚔Chat?⚔)} 18:02, 16 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

What's going on with areas in Kuwait?

Most articles for areas in Kuwait not only lack the needed sources but also are stubs. What's going on? Do they deserve to be deleted? If not, why? FSlolhehe (talk) 20:20, 23 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
