Please change names of all these categories as these names don't tell if these are books about animals of the country in question or if they are books which are printed in this country.
There are some additional issues with these categories:
I think that it is a bad idea to have a mix up of categories concerning the animals in question and concerning the printing and scientists. Therefore I simply would delete these categories, if printed in germany is meant. But this is a question where differend opinion are possible.
The categories are not categorized properly. Where are the main categories for the country?
The categories were not at the correct place in the parent category - categories for multiple books should be listet at the beginning of the category with |. |* , like this [[Category:Zoology books|.]] otherwise you can't find them between als the categories for singele books.
HI and thanks for the note and information. I didn't know about the [[Category:Zoology books|.]]. The purpose for the bulking of subcategories was to consolidate books in the German language, and others, as the Main Page was quite overloaded. As the last word indicates, all the contents in the sub category are the Categories in the main page, printed or published in Germany. I can see the confusion from a German speaker point of view btu for the English speaker, they don't have to wade through dozens and dozens of files in foreign languages. SO what do you suggest I do here? Should I just put them all back in their appropriate Main Categories? WayneRay (talk) 13:24, 18 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I looked up the main categories and think that the word language is not nessesary, as "in German" or "in Englisch" always means that it is written in this language.
I am not interested in these categories, but as you see others had the idea to sort books by language as well. as long as I understand what the categories are for they are OK for me.

Danke. I will think of a better title and let you know. but Entomology books or Zoology books or Botany books in German sounds fine by me. At the extreme I could put the really large book Cats alphabetical like Zoology A title books etc WayneRay (talk) 22:07, 18 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks again, wish I had talked to you when I started last year. I will apply this code where necessary. Where do I place the code you gave me. I looked and didn't see it in the edit section. WayneRay (talk) 13:23, 19 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I've renamed these more appropriately and grouped them in Category:Books in German by topic, but I'm not sure we should keep them at all. Should we really be organizing books by "topic and language" as well as by "topic and country" ? (Combine those with Category:Books by language by country for the trifecta!)

I am not shure, how many language categories are needed. I think they are relevant in pdf an djvu files but not really if the category contains mainly pictures. Kersti (talk) 08:38, 6 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for your input, Kersti Nebelsiek. That seems reasonable to sort complete books by their language, if we're going to have "complete books" categories. As you say, though, that's rather different than one these categories are doing. - Themightyquill (talk) 13:44, 9 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
