Hi Reem, Going back to the original question, I think your PetScan query is timing out because it doesn't like the depth=50 requirement - because this is a messy category tree it probably starts generating a lot of results at that depth. Remember that categories about individual people often end up in these categories, and any one of those can open up a whole new set of categories - as a result, it would either generate huge numbers of articles, or possibly go into an infinite loop.
If you cut the depth down you can get a decent number of results and apply the size filter. depth=3 gets ~68k results, of which ~16k are over 10kb in size. https://petscan.wmflabs.org/?language=en&project=wikipedia&depth=3&categories=Male%20writers&ns%5B0%5D=1&larger=10000&search_max_results=500&interface_language=en&active_tab=tab_pageprops Andrew.
