I think I have fixed your concerns expressed in the review. I added some content, filled in the refs and and cleared up what I see now was confusing: the World and Spring Celebrations are two different events, although I have put them in the same article due to their close similarities. I reworked the lead to clear that up. (I thought about making them 2 separate articles, but figured they'd just end up merged because of the similarities.)

Bodies of water categories

The consensus at the CfD was against your categorization scheme. I have reverted your category changes. Please stop disruptively emptying categories out of process. --Regards, James(talk/contribs) 17:36, 17 February 2016 (UTC)

:Please follow BRD and stop edit warring over these categories. Feel free to propose your changes at an appropriate talk page where consensus can be reached prior to making further changes. --Regards, James(talk/contribs) 17:53, 17 February 2016 (UTC)

::Why don't you go do something actually useful, like write an article for once instead of fiddling around with categories? --Jakob (talk) aka Jakec 17:54, 17 February 2016 (UTC)
