Over-categorization

Hi Brijesh, when you categorize a butterfly picture according to its species, would you please avoid putting it in categories of higher taxonomy levels? For example, since you put this picture in Category:Caltoris_kumara, you should not have put it in Category:Hesperiidae and Category:Lepidoptera, because these are parent categories of Category:Caltoris_kumara. You can find general guidelines about this in this page. Thank you!--LamBoet (talk) 14:51, 20 September 2016 (UTC)

"Brijesh" categories

Hi, are Category:Brijesh butterfly photos and Category:Brijesh Lepidoptera Life Cycles really useful to you? If so, would you please make them "hidden categories", and if not, can they be deleted? Thanks.--LamBoet (talk) 09:09, 6 October 2016 (UTC)

FYI I turned them into "user categories" for the moment.--LamBoet (talk) 09:10, 1 November 2016 (UTC)
