Category:Trees in Bangalore and sub-categories etc

Hi Forestowlet, honestly i appreciate very much Wikimedians taking care of and/or respecting the existing category tree :-)
Maybe there's a tiny 'but': Are you really convinced, that there is a need to categorize additionally (as of today p.e.) Category:Trees in Bangalore by the colour of their flowers or establish p.e. a subcategory of trees at the numberours Bangalore lakes ??
imho by location in Bangalore may much more user-friendly.

In fact, there is much more than a handfull subcategories, of course just 'sub-locations' at Bangalore and around, but personally i don't think there's a need to establish one-file categories as p.e. Category:Trees of Raman Research Institute instead of (as of 9 April 14) missing Category:Raman Research Institute ;-)

Please reflex about much more categories to establish as the mentioned ones ... let's talk about and find a consense with other Wikimedians within Category talk:Trees in Bangalore (iniated) ...
btw: at least half a dozen categories were empty, therefore i added {speedydelete}. What about p.e. Trees in Bangalore by species instead of color ??

Kindly regards, Roland zh (talk) 18:55, 10 April 2014 (UTC)

Thanks Roland for the comment. There is a specific need for the categorization's that i am making. The need is elaborated in my user page clearly. Please check user:forestowlet. To put it briefly, my objective is to create a repository of images of trees and also to evolve it as a properly bucketed collection which can be used as a reference. The category for color is created to suit the second purpose. It will evolve into a category which later can be referred to see the flowering trees of bangalore based on color. This will make it easy for common man to locate and identify the tree. I thought about the category and the names and for example, the reason why i did not want ot put the trees into a category called Raman Reasearch Institute is because it is abroad category and anybody can put any content into this category. It dilutes my purpose. I want only trees of Raman research institute to be categorised and located by the discerning user. Some categories are empty because i am creating a kind of template and i am in talks with various other contributers who are going to start uploading images into these categories in large numbers. I am creating an FAQ for this and i am yet to finish on that. Let me know whether its still not making sense.

Photo-phylles 2017

Hi,

I noticed many remarkable photos of plants on your gallery.

The International Salon Photo-phylles should interest you ! Please have a look here : http://www.jjmilan.sitew.fr/#accueil.A

This is both a competition and a pedagogical exhibition. Each year the selected pictures are exhibited in various places for more than 3 months and they receive some 4 - 5,000 visitors, among them about 3,000 young people coming with their teachers.

The entry is completely free of charges. We would be honoured to receive some of your best pictures in Bordeaux.

Hi Forestowlet, could you please complete the description template. Author and source are still missing. And why the hell did you use this strange template instead of the far more simple standard-template? --Túrelio (talk) 11:26, 13 March 2018 (UTC)

The standard-template has the following content:

Summary

DescriptionForestowlet	English: ...
Date	20xx-xx-xx
Source	Own work
Author	...
