categories and so-called 'over-categorization'
editHi , welcome, and I guess, you would like learn about categorization. Adding too many categories to your uploads, may occur so called over-categorization, i.e. it's not helpful to categorize, for instance Category:Anaimalai Hills forest+Category:Roads in the Anamalai Tiger Reserve+Category:Monsoon in Kerala+Category:Flora of Kerala+Category:Plants of Kerala+Category:Trees in Idukki district is misleading, in fact wrong. To categorize plants, for instance, please add the species botanical name (if you may precise) and the location, for instance Category:Flora of Idukki district, or, more precise, Category:Flora of Munnar, etc, which are sub-categories (imagine a tree-related categorisation structure) of Kerala-related flora. More detailed informations, you may read at the following section COM:OVERCAT. Have fun uploading images, kindly regards, Roland zh (talk) 00:52, 28 March 2018 (UTC)

Category:Unidentified ...
editHi Renjusplace, if you can't identify the species please use the unidentified category if ever possible. For instance
- in case of File:Fulgoromorpha.jpg use Category:Unidentified Fulgoromorpha instead of Category:Fulgoromorpha,
- in case of File:Argiope sp 2.jpg use Category:Unidentified Argiope instead of Category:Argiope.
Please also categorize where you took the image. See Category:Animals of Alappuzha district. Greetings, -- Ies (talk) 08:47, 20 January 2019 (UTC)
