Kilauea eruption stuff

Thanks for all the work you are doing with the Kilauea eruptions. I have one note of constructive criticism, which is to please not overcategorize your uploads and categories. Basically, as a general rule, an item should not belong in a category and also that category's parent category. For instance, you've been putting things in both Category:Kilauea 2018 eruptions (May 19) and Category:Kilauea 2018 eruptions. Because the May 19 category already belongs to the general eruption category, the file does need to be in the latter. Another example: I removed four different categories from Category:SO2 emissions during Kilauea 2018 eruptions, one which was Category:Air pollution in Hawaii. Since this is a type of air pollution, I applied that category to Category:Volcanic degassing in Hawaii instead. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thanks again. —howcheng {chat} 15:53, 25 May 2018 (UTC)

River categories

Hi, Hornstrandir1. Thanks for the work you're doing with river categories. I just want to point out that it's the standard to say "rivers of", not "rivers in". Please go back and rename the categories you've created, and use the correct wording if you create more. Thanks. --Auntof6 (talk) 08:37, 27 May 2018 (UTC)

Category:Erta Ale 2018 eruptions

What you added to this category, is actually not an eruption, it's just usual activity of this permanent lava lake. Do you have any source for your claim? --A.Savin 16:43, 27 May 2018 (UTC)

It seems there really was an eruption as the lava lake was changing behaviour at this time, see e.g. GVP

Global Volcanism Program, 2017. Report on Erta Ale (Ethiopia). In: Sennert, S K (ed.), Weekly Volcanic Activity Report, 25 January-31 January 2017. Smithsonian Institution and US Geological Survey. http://volcano.si.edu/volcano.cfm?vn=221080 There is unusual behaviour to be seen eg. on this picture: File:ET Afar asv2018-01 img100 Ertale.jpg (spattering?) On the other hand, is not a convecting lava lake representing an ongoing eruption in its own right? Because convecting in this context means fresh magma arriving at the surface. Hornstrandir1 (talk) 17:47, 27 May 2018 (UTC)

The pictures are from Jan 2018, not 2017. Eruption of Erta Ale actually mean an overflow of the lava lake, emission of gas or lava particles in the air, but none of that was not the case last January. --A.Savin 23:12, 27 May 2018 (UTC)

The eruption is nevertheless seen as still ongoing since 1967 (See GVP, Erta Ale -Eruptive History) - which would emphasize the definition that active lava lakes are representing sort of a permanent eruption (open system), though there is as you rightly are pointing out often spoken about eruptions only if the behaviour of lava lakes is changing.Hornstrandir1 (talk) 11:04, 28 May 2018 (UTC)

El Niño Strengthening (22139224125).jpg

Hi:

I had to remove the Category:Weather and climate has it is a "Mother category" that should have only sub-categories. Furthermore, this image is already in Category:El Niño which is in Weather and climate down the line.

Extreme Weather Events

Hi:

A thunderstorms is not an extreme weather events so this File:Cumulonimbus over Yucatan.jpg and other like tehm should not be classified in such categories. An extrme event from thunderstorms are VERY large hail, destructive winds, EF-5 tornadoes. You do not seems to understands the difference between a weather event and and extreme one. Only very desctructive events should be put in such categories.

Pierre cb (talk) 01:57, 22 December 2018 (UTC)

Careless categorization

Hi! You are currently making a mess by creating tons of new categories in geomorpology and related areas. For instance, you created serveral categories related to tidal processes in Estonia while noone considers tides to have any significant impact on coasts of Estonia as the difference between low and high tide is so small. Different water levels around Estonia are because of other reasons. You have done several edits like this that indicate that you consider any coastal area where water is relatively shallow as "tidal flat". The latter obviously isn't the case, not even at areas where tides occur. Another example, tectonic processes occur at tectonically active areas (i.e. mostly edges of tectonic plates), and yet you create category "Tectonic landforms in Estonia" while Estonia is nowhere near tectonically active areas. Then, here you categorize "Lakes of Estonia" as all sorts of "fluvial" while fluvial processes relate to flowing water (i.e. watercourses) and so most lakes images obviously don't show anything characteristic to fluvial processes.

Maintaining and adding new images to some of these categories requires considerable expertise in geomorpology or some other related field. As indicated by edits referenced above you most likely don't have this expertise. Large part of you edits are problematic in similar manner. And I've only checked some Estonia-related edits, while you do similar edits to imaegs from countries all over the world. I advice you to do changes in lesser scale and do only edits that you are really-really sure about. There are not enough people who have time capacity or expertise to check all your edits and so the mess is likely to stay.

I also note that your edits and mistakes are very similar to those that User:Reykholt did about a year ago. For instance you recreated tides/tectonics related categories that were previously created by this user. In case you are the same person, then please note that having multiple accounts to do problematic edits is very much discouraged.

Also, please pay attention to over-categorization. E.g. if this category is already in a category that is subcategory of "Geology of Estonia" and "Geomorphology of Estonia" then don't at it directly to latter categories. 2001:7D0:81F7:B580:5920:A2CE:6FAC:AC99 09:46, 25 December 2018 (UTC)

I have to agree with the IP here. Please stop over-categorization both in files and in categories themselves. --A.Savin 16:44, 15 February 2019 (UTC)

You reading me? Please STOP!! For example here Category:Intrusions (geology) in Brazil violation of COM:OVERCAT with "Intrusions (geology) by country" and "Intrusions (geology) in South America by country" + "Volcanism of Brazil" and "Volcanic landforms in Brazil". Or here Category:Intrusions (geology) in Argentina -- "Intrusions (geology) by country" and "Intrusions (geology) in South America by country" + "Volcanism of Argentina" and "Volcanic landforms of Argentina". This is administrative warning, next time = block. Thanks --A.Savin 19:51, 15 February 2019 (UTC)

First you didn't give any examples, and now these examples are strange, because we did this categorization always in this way, see eg. Category:Lakes by country and on the other hand Category:Lakes by continent by country. It is of course possible to change and use eg. just the latter ones, but this should then be done everywhere and not just with the categories you mentioned. - Also, it seems you didn't recognize I had changed in the meantime the categorization of some of the intrusion categories .... - And, please be polite! Hornstrandir1 (talk) 09:12, 16 February 2019 (UTC)

When you see errors somewhere, it's good to correct them and not to manifold. --A.Savin 13:01, 16 February 2019 (UTC)

It's you who is impolite -- you did not respond to legitimate questions. For the sake of transparency, you should make a note on the userpage of your old account and link to the new one. --A.Savin 13:04, 16 February 2019 (UTC)

File:Chin-Sheng Fault Zone Observatory in Chihshang, Taitung, Taiwan.JPG

Please look at your edits "here." Can you explain me the reason why you removed the category "Soil creep in Taiwan" from File:Chin-Sheng Fault Zone Observatory in Chihshang, Taitung, Taiwan.JPG?--Kai3952 (talk) 14:08, 14 May 2019 (UTC)

I don't know exactly, it's a rather long time ago (december last year). But I can imagine it was because I know soil creep to be connected to periglacial landforms and Taiwan is nearer to the hotter regions around the equator, subtropics etc. - On the other hand, Taiwan has rather high mountains which could explain the existence of such phenomena. - So just feel free to put it in again.Hornstrandir1 (talk) 18:34, 14 May 2019 (UTC)

Well, the article(see en:Soil creep) explains that: "Soil creep is the slow downward progression of rock and soil down a low grade slope; it can also refer to slow deformation of such materials as a result of prolonged pressure and stress."--Kai3952 (talk) 20:11, 14 May 2019 (UTC)

I really don't understand where I am carelessly categorizing here. Mostly I just sorted volcanoes by year (p.ex.) of eruptions these last times. I also don't understand where I was overcategorizing, took mostly categories out when I set new ones in.Hornstrandir1 (talk) 07:04, 25 May 2019 (UTC) Also do I think that to talk about "vandalism" here is absolutely absurd, as "vandalism" would mean that I would be willing destroy something in Wikimedia, which I don't do and would never have the intention to do anywhere!!!!.Hornstrandir1 (talk) 07:07, 25 May 2019 (UTC)

"Shield volcanoes in Ethiopia" belongs to the Erta Ale category and not to each file from this category. When you are doing mass edits with categories, you should know and apply this, otherwise you should not work with categories. The "ping" that you get once someone reverts you actually should be enough to understand. If you deactivate such notifications or set me or an other user on ignore list in order not to get any notifications based on their edit, you should be aware of consequences if you continue same way. --A.Savin 07:17, 25 May 2019 (UTC)

1) Could it be that someone hacked my account, because I never did deactivate notifiactions or set someone on an ignore list - I wouldn't even know how to do this... On the other hand, I sometimes got a message to change my password, because someone had entered my account from another IP adress /computer, and it normally wasn't me. I also did change the password like perhaps 3 times up to now, but maybe I should do this also more often.

Re. the double (or more) categorizing, I sometimes put an image in a specialized category like "Erta Ale eruptions" and also let it stay in the main category, this is correct. I did this in cases when I thought the image of special interest. But perhaps for Wikimedia, to spare storage room, it is necessary to have it in not so many categories and specialize as much as possible. Whould it be perhaps a good idea instead to build up pages containing the most interesting/beautiful pictures on a subject like a special volcano? Like the ones existing on Icelandic volcanoes eg.?Hornstrandir1 (talk) 13:29, 30 May 2019 (UTC)

• @A.Savin: I think it may be time to re-address this habitual behavior. Hornstrandir1 is creating a myriad of redundant categories which are massive overcategorization, along with miscategorizing images and categories (egCategory:Mecoptera fossils in the overcat Category:Paleobiota (insects) of the Tranquille Formation that do not qualify for the new categories. This is a habitual issue that is shown by the number of category for deletion notices and the amount of clean up work needed for canadian geology pages such as Category:Allenby Formation, Category:Coldwater Beds, and the not even canadian Category:Klondike Mountain Formation.--Kevmin § 20:08, 12 November 2021 (UTC)

  I think this should be raised at COM:ANU first. Regards --A.Savin 01:35, 13 November 2021 (UTC)

Snow and frost

Snow is not a sub-category of frost. Snow is a precipitation falling from clouds while frost is a deposition of water vapor in the air on a cold surface. Please don't put catogies of snow into categories of frost.

Pierre cb (talk) 22:57, 1 June 2019 (UTC) Ok. But is not frost just also a question of temperatures under 0°C? Sp that snowfall would be a consequence of frost? Hornstrandir1 (talk) 00:36, 2 June 2019 (UTC)

You are not paying attention or you are from a region where there is no snow to say such things. I repeat, snow is falling from clouds were it is produced at temperature below freezing (0°C) but can reach the ground which is below or above freezing temperature. Snow is a precipitation like rain. Frost is NOT a precipitation, it is formed at surface by the condensation of water vapor contained in the air on objects at temperature below freezing, most often on a cloudless night. Pierre cb (talk) 05:34, 2 June 2019 (UTC)

This is just a question about definitions of the same word in different languages. In German eg. "Frost" has the meaning of temperatures below 0°C, but I see that in English the meaning is different, like you say.Hornstrandir1 (talk) 08:48, 2 June 2019 (UTC)

Well, if you are German:: Frost is de:Reif (Niederschlag). Pierre cb (talk) 14:01, 2 June 2019 (UTC)

Re: File:Chin-Sheng Fault Zone Observatory in Chihshang, Taitung, Taiwan.JPG

I remember you said: "soil creep to be connected to periglacial landforms". I looked at the article (en:Downhill creep), and it did not mention periglacial landforms. If you want to insist that you are right and the edits I made (add the "Soil creep in Taiwan" category to files) are wrong, could you explain why you think that soil creep to be connected to periglacial landforms?--Kai3952 (talk) 23:50, 1 November 2019 (UTC)

You are right. It's not only connected to periglacial effects, I looked that up too. But it can be a consequence of permafrost in the soil, like eg. in Iceland. As the permafrost hinders surface water to trickle further down, it stays on the surface more or less and destabilizes the uppermost layers, eg. on mountain slopes.

More information about soil creep (also) in polar and subpolar regions is eg. to be found here: https://www.researchgate.net/profile/B_Hallet/publication/286913942_Rates_of_soil_creep_worldwide_Weak_climatic_controls_and_potential_feedback/links/572c3dfa08ae2efbfdbde200.pdf or here (with regard to Iceland) https://folk.uio.no/kaeaeb/publications/wangensteen_geomorph.pdf Hornstrandir1 (talk) 07:20, 2 November 2019 (UTC)

Please tell me where there is a mention of "permafrost" in the article en:Downhill creep.--Kai3952 (talk) 17:31, 2 November 2019 (UTC)

The first article mentions Ellesmere Island (Canada) and other subpolar regions, where of course is permafrost (to the creep, see table within article). - The second article shows connections between permafrost and creeping landforms eg. on p.2.Hornstrandir1 (talk) 19:51, 2 November 2019 (UTC)

What I see in my eyes is: "Downhill creep, also known as soil creep or commonly just creep, is the slow downward progression of rock and soil down a low grade slope; it can also refer to slow deformation of such materials as a result of prolonged pressure and stress." That's the definition of the article en:Downhill creep. If you believe there's a problem with my edits, then I suggest to open a discussion for this at COM:HD.--Kai3952 (talk) 10:41, 12 November 2019 (UTC)

I referred by the above not to the Wikipedia article you mention, but to the two webpages, I mentioned, i.e. https://www.researchgate.net/profile/B_Hallet/publication/286913942_Rates_of_soil_creep_worldwide_Weak_climatic_controls_and_potential_feedback/links/572c3dfa08ae2efbfdbde200.pdf or here (with regard to Iceland) https://folk.uio.no/kaeaeb/publications/wangensteen_geomorph.pdf . Hornstrandir1 (talk) 14:42, 12 November 2019 (UTC)

If you want to prove to me that your claim is correct, you should go to the article en:Downhill creep to make the correction. Why is it my problem? Anyway, I will undo your edits.--Kai3952 (talk) 17:23, 19 November 2019 (UTC)

Category:Mount Cockscombe

Hi. I'm puzzled by this category you created. You have included Mt. Fuji and Mt. Louis categories inside this category. While they share the same massif in the Sawback Range as Cockscombe Mountain they are considered separate mountain peaks. Also, it is Cockscombe Mountain and not Mt. Cockscombe as the peak was not named after a person. Can you clarify your intention here? Since there are no existing photos on Commons for Cockscombe, I'd be included to delete this category.

Categorization of AKecoregions map

By way of explanation - I removed the category Geological Maps of Alaska from this file because a. Ecoregions are not primarily, let alone exclusively, a geological concept, and b. A file should not be simultaneously in both a parent and child category, so one must be removed There appear to be no comparable categories that would reflect the biological and climatological information that also contribute to delineating ecoregions and I see little point in creating them for one file.

Category in/of

I know you do a lot of category work. What do you think on this? Should landforms/bodies of water generally use the 'of' word (as in 'lakes of foocountry') or the 'in' word (as in 'lakes in foocountry')?

Bodies of water

Hi Hornstrandir1, Do you think glaciers should be categorized as "bodies of water"? To me that doesn't seem actually true, but then again, I don't know a higher category under which they would go. And Happy New Year! I value your work greatly. Kindest regards, Krok6kola (talk) 13:28, 10 January 2021 (UTC)

Category:Codell Sandstone Member, Niobrara Formation?

Probably just a cut and paste error; but, as shown in the Denver Basin image in the category, the Codell is a locally lensing member of the Carlile Shale Formation. It is not a member of the Norbrara, anywhere, AFAIK (IS it considered a Niobrara member in the Dakota Hogback?)

Looking at the subcategories of Category:Carlile Shale Formation, this category should be renamed Category:Codell Sandstone.

Question for you

Hello Hornstrandir1,

Do you have any ideas about the geological features of Category:Pamukkale i~n Turkey? It appears to have many interesting features, but I am unsure of the correct terminology. Krok6kola (talk) 19:06, 17 September 2021 (UTC)

Seem to be travertine terraces with hot water caused by volcanic activity. I could look for some literature about it.Hornstrandir1 (talk) 19:10, 17 September 2021 (UTC)

Seems to be a bit more complicated, see eg. here: https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Anna-Gandin/publication/260082866_Evolution_of_a_fault-controlled_fissure-ridge_type_travertine_deposit_in_the_western_Anatolia_extensional_province_The_Cukurbag_fissure-ridge_Pamukkale_Turkey/links/5bfc9c3a458515b41d10717d/Evolution-of-a-fault-controlled-fissure-ridge-type-travertine-deposit-in-the-western-Anatolia-extensional-province-The-Cukurbag-fissure-ridge-Pamukkale-Turkey.pdf

Thanks. (Maybe you will look into it!) Does

this type of formation have a name? Krok6kola (talk) 19:31, 17 September 2021 (UTC)

Yes, they are called travertine terraces (like Mammoth Hot Springs in Yellowstone National Park).Hornstrandir1 (talk) 19:33, 17 September 2021 (UTC)

So the whole place is made up of travertine terraces. Yes, it is a lot like Mammoth Hot Springs. I should look more closely at Mammoth to see if there are ways to categorize the features. Thanks, Krok6kola (talk) 19:48, 17 September 2021 (UTC)

Hi, thanks for the categorisation into Category:Volcanic sunsets in La Palma - however, the photos were of sunrise! (look at the timestamps.) Also, I'm not sure how much the sunrise colour was due to the volcano, since it was looking in the other direction - the reason the sunrise is starting above the sea level is due to Tenerife being in the way.

Categorization of French geological maps...

Hi Hornstrandir1

Maybe these tables could interrest you:

• notations et légendes des cartes géologiques de l'Île-de-France
• notations et légendes des cartes géologiques de l'Isère
• notations et légendes des cartes géologiques de l'Oise
• notations et légendes des cartes géologiques de la Haute-Loire
• notations et légendes des cartes géologiques des Hautes-Pyrénées
• notations et légendes des cartes géologiques du Loiret
• notations et légendes des cartes géologiques de la Dordogne
• notations et légendes des cartes géologiques de la Savoie

These tables are in my WP-fr sandbox. They help me with the writing of texts in the "Geology" sections in French communes articles (in addition to the maps and their legends).

I still have lot of work to generate the other maps, symbols and legends... --Poudou99 (talk) 20:22, 3 October 2022 (UTC)

Thank you for all this work and for the links. It is really interesting and helpful.Hornstrandir1 (talk) 01:36, 4 October 2022 (UTC)

For the alpine departments (Haute-Savoie, Savoie, Isère, Hautes-Alpes,...), I am building these tables which indicate also the types of formations, the geological domains, the litho-tectonic units,... that is more suitable for the geology of the Alpine communes than the simple mention of the eras, periods and epochs. Later this could be used for categorizations (an example).

feel free to send me comments or suggestions. I could make corrections or improvements in Commons. --Poudou99 (talk) 19:51, 4 October 2022 (UTC)

Misuse of my pseudonym

Someone just misused my pseudonym to identify mushrooms. I have no knowledge at all about this topic. (see: File talk:Recherche de champignons.JPG ) Hornstrandir1 (talk) 19:24, 16 OctoHornstrandir1 (talk)ber 2022 (UTC)

Hello. According to the history, user Hornstrandir1 added category "Agaricus bisporus" to File:Recherche de champignons.JPG. But that category is completely wrong, as I explained on the talk page, and if I understand correctly, you don't disagree with me. I pinged you to inform you that I was changing the category, because the history indicates that it was you who decided on category "Agaricus bisporus". If you can't understand how the category change could have happened from your account, this seems like a security issue. Perhaps you should change your password. Best wishes, Strobilomyces (talk) 17:35, 20 October 2022 (UTC)

Thank you for your comment. I really don't nor won't mix up with any mushrooms - not my interest span - and would never add categories concerning this subject. So to change my password could be a good idea. - And thank you for finding this problem.Hornstrandir1 (talk) 18:22, 20 October 2022 (UTC)

Renommage de communes françaises

Bonjour Hornstrandir. Renommer une catégorie de commune française sur Commons n'est pas suffisant. Pour la Category:Grives transformée en Category:Grives (Dordogne), Il faut également penser à corriger les liens sur Wikipédia [3] et sur Wikidata [4] et [5]. Cordialement.

Merci pour votre commentaire. Je vais changer cela aussi sur Wikipédia etc.Hornstrandir1 (talk) 22:05, 5 November 2022 (UTC)

Sur Commons, c'est l'anglais qui est la langue principale qui peut donc produire des homonymes avec le français ; sur Wikipédia en français, il n'existe qu'un article s'appelant Grives ; il est donc inutile de le renommer en Grives (Dordogne) (article inexistant).

Attention aux apparences

Bonjour Hornstrandir1. Tu as ajouté sur la category:Forêt de Lanmary les cartes des ZNIEFF des communes d'Escoire, de Cornille, de Bassillac-et-Auberoche et d'Antonne-et-Trigonant. Si cette dernière est correcte, les trois autres ne sont pas concernées. Sur ces cartes, on voit effectivement apparaître la mention « Forêt domaniale de Lanmary et alentours » mais elles sont extérieures à cette ZNIEFF. Si tu regardes l'article Forêt domaniale de Lanmary et alentours que j'ai créé, tu pourras t'en apercevoir. J'ai par contre ajouté à la category:Forêt de Lanmary les cartes des ZNIEFF de trois communes vraiment concernées : Trélissac, Sarliac-sur-l'Isle et Sorges et Ligueux en Périgord (ces deux dernières marginalement).

Renommage Category by city par by commune

Bonjour Hornstrandir1. J'ai vu que vous avez modifié plusieurs catégories en remplaçant by city par by commune (Category:Nature of Meurthe-et-Moselle by commune, Category:Nature of Manche by commune). Ces renommages posent problème avec la catégorie mère Category:Nature by city by country. Une telle modification impacte des centaines de catégories. Ces changements ont été discuté avec la communauté ? Merci . Cordialement Tylwyth Eldar (talk) 10:17, 21 January 2023 (UTC)

Des petits villages et des hameaux ne peuvent pas être des "cities". Pourquoi est-ce qu'on n'utilise pas le mot "municipality"? C'est une traduction correcte de "commune", et en plus il contiendrait aussi les paysages rurales qui ne peuvent pas faire partie d'une "city", mais bien sûr d'une commune/municpality.Hornstrandir1 (talk) 10:22, 21 January 2023 (UTC)

Le souci est que l'on tombe dans la surcatégorisation. En outre, "Commune" est un terme pour une subdivision purement française, alors que les catégories sont en anglais pour l'ensemble des pays. Avec le nombre de catégories potentiellement impactées, pour un tel changement, vous devriez en discuter avec les autres utilisateurs sur le Bistro. En attendant de trouver un accord, je vais corriger. Cordialement Tylwyth Eldar (talk) 10:59, 21 January 2023 (UTC)

Je comprends.

Mais d'autre part, "department/département" est aussi un terme administratif utilisé seulement en France qu'on a accepté quand même. Et aussi, si on utilisait "municipality", tout le monde pourrait comprendre et le contenu serait beaucoup plus en accordance avec la désignation des catégories.Hornstrandir1 (talk) 11:15, 21 January 2023 (UTC)

• category:Rail transport in Drôme
• category:Rail transport in Isère
• category:Rail transport in Haute-Savoie

since this line cross also these departments.

Likewise, you should add to this category all these railway lines:

• category:ligne de Valence à Moirans
• category: ligne de Lyon-Perrache à Marseille-Saint-Charles (via Grenoble)
• category:ligne de Grenoble à Montmélian
• category: Maurienne line

Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion at Commons:Administrators' noticeboard/User problems#User:Hornstrandir1 excessive and disruptive categorization. regarding the frequency of excessive and disruptive categorization that you generate..

Kevmin § 20:34, 25 August 2023 (UTC)

See my reply on the above mentioned page, which was:

I'm sorry, but it is a long time since I was categorizing last any paleobiota etc. Depending on your comment, it would seem that most of my work is not helpful for Wikipedia projects, but on the other hand, most of my categories were/are connected to Wikidata items, so this cannot fit really. And many other workers did say thank you for my work. Also half of the deletion requests are about one single series of old pictures about Iceland from 2002 that I uploaded but which just seem to work as thumbnails.

How to ask for speedy-delete of an empty category

When you want to ask for speedy-delete of an empty category, best practice is to mark it with {{SD|C2}} if it would be OK to re-create it in the future, given that appropriate content becomes available or {{SD|C1}} if it is an inappropriate category name that should not be reused. In particular, this is better practice than just blanking the category page, as you did at Category:Galeras in 2008. ("C1" and "C2" come from Commons:Criteria for speedy deletion).

No need to add photos to categories that are already in the category tree

Hi. Noticed that you added Category:Volcanism of Europe in 2024 to the file File:Grindavik eruption 14 januar 2024.jpg. There is no need for that category because it's already in the Category:January 2024 Sundhnúkur Eruption. You will find that that category is already in the Volcanism of Europe in 2024 category if you go far enough down the line. You can think of categories like a tree. An image has many categories like branches of a tree, but they shouldn't be in a parent branch (category) if it's already in a smaller branch connected to the parent branch. Does that make sense?
