And there will be tribes of people who see "number of teeth per 20 mm" and yet read "number of teeth".

Then it's correct after all Esquerdo . I think everything remains the same. Just two fields, where you can specify K (comb or chamber perforation), L (line perforation), or S (stance) separately.

The Maximum Card is only included once MauriceRH per different card. This is not a series item. Please include it in an issue group, so the same issue group as the stamps.

That is an assumption. You cannot say that in general. I think it depends on the item being searched for.
Apparently, you don't want to understand. For example, if I want to search for the magazine De Lach, I search for De Lach and not for笑いin Japanese. The same applies, of course, to Asians who search for a title in their own language and not for a translation into Dutch or anything like that.

The chance that we will ever get all those transcriptions cleared is nil.
The catalog will always be and remain a "work in progress". The reason there are so many transcriptions is because it took a very long time before other character sets were added to LatDodo.

You actually can't say, because you don't know if people are being excluded by this. And you also don't know if it concerns 'a majority of the people'.
The point is that we do not want to exclude anyone. The majority of people use a language that is not based on the Latin alphabet. Think of Asia, the Middle East, Russia, etc.

A Japanese person searches for the name of a Japanese book using Japanese script. On LD, he then finds all kinds of Western translations.
If the title you are looking for appears in Japanese on the book and therefore also in the title field in LastDodo, then it will appear in the correct place in LastDodo.

I used the word 'certainly' because Thai people will certainly search in their own language. Additionally, there will be Thais who also search the internet in English. This applies to all Asian people; they will search the internet in their own language first.
Collectioneur
That is an assumption. You cannot say that in general. In my opinion, it depends on the item being searched for. If I am looking for an American item, for example, I search using English words, not Dutch.

Also for Original titles, at the bottom of each collection area in the administration environment, there is the option to create a download:

Thanks for the tip.

Fortunately, they are being used more and more often, for example in Books with Original Titles.
Thanks for the compliment, but that is Jilles's work. As a result, we do have a somewhat strange database with, in the relevant cases, an estimated 99% transcriptions and 1% other alphabets.
The chance that we will ever get all those transcriptions cleared is nil.

I am reading your response correctly; your point is that you cannot check whether something is written correctly. There are translation tools available on the internet for this, if needed.
The question is whether that check can be performed using a translation tool. I don't want to translate it, but I want to know if it is well written.
And of course there will be a way to check it, but it is not convenient if you have to consult a different tool every time. I want the management to be as simple as possible to perform. Then it also takes less time.

It would be a shame if, by rigidly adhering to the Latin alphabet, we were to exclude the majority of people.
You actually can't say, because you don't know if people are being excluded by this. And you also don't know if it concerns 'a majority of the people'.

I can assert with equal (or actually more) justification that you are stubbornly clinging to a decision that does not appear to have been made on the basis of rational considerations. It does not seem to be based on sound research, but on assumptions.
I can't picture it either. A Japanese person searches for the name of a Japanese book using Japanese script. On LD, he then finds all kinds of Western translations. And what happens then? Does he get greedy? I think it's a fantasy story.

So I am not participating. I am not going to enter characters from other alphabets, and I am skipping the check on this as well.

Esquerdo Apart from this split, we can certainly discuss the precise naming convention. For now, we have kept it the same as what was already in use for Perfins and Fiscal stamps. Adjustments are always possible later, but we will then do so for all those categories.

MDuinmaijer That is correct. And also the same as the Perfins section. Experience had already been gained there with the split fields.

MDuinmaijer , at least it makes counting teeth (incorrectly) less inviting..

You also avoid confusion with some indications in catalogues based on the number of teeth, as is quite often the case with German stamps from 100 years ago and old Swiss stamps.

You claimed: Asian people will certainly (sic!) search in their own language. I have made it plausible that that cannot be true. [Edit] What more proof do you need?
I used the word 'certainly' because Thai people will certainly search in their own language. Additionally, there will be Thais who also search the internet in English. This applies to all Asian people; they will search the internet in their own language first.



As an administrator, you can create a download of the authors.
I really have no idea how that works, [Edit] so I cannot verify if that actually works correctly. I also wonder if this is possible with the original titles.
As a super administrator, you have the option to create an Excel download for each collection area.
This was announced on the administrators' forum at the time.
Also for Original titles, at the bottom of each collection area in the administration environment, there is the option to create a download:



The fact that it is possible to use alternative alphabets does not mean that they are actually used. I conducted research using samples, so I am not just making things up. You often do, though ;-)
Fortunately, they are being used more and more often, for example in Books with Original titles:


Nonsense, I have nothing against the use of other languages, but I am against the use of other alphabets. [Edit] Anyone who doesn't know why isn't reading my comments properly.

That is what I did, and added the addresses to the safe list there as well.
Hopefully, it is just 'cures' and goes away on its own.
In any case, thank you for all the help.

tomdejong not a bad idea in itself. Perhaps the naming convention could be reconsidered. It is utopian to think that people read the manual. The "number of teeth per 20 mm" is long and still doesn't say how you count them (do you start at tooth 1 and end at tooth 15 for gauge 14, or do you end up at 15?). And the number of teeth leads to chaos.

And there will be tribes of people who see "number of teeth per 20 mm" and yet read "number of teeth".

Dear users of the Stamps section,

This week, an adjustment is being made to the database and, consequently, to the input screen. In consultation with the administrators, the Toothing field is being split into two separate fields. "Toothing type" contains a description of the toothing type (e.g., Comb toothing or Line toothing). "Number of teeth" contains the number of teeth per 20 mm. This is exactly the same information that is currently combined in the Toothing field, but split and easier to maintain.

The functionality of the fields remains otherwise the same: in principle, you select a value from the list, but each field may also be left empty if no value is known. The indication of the perforation type is now written out in full (Kamtanding instead of just the letter K before the number of teeth), but you can still select quickly by typing the K in that case. The format of the numbers also remains the same (e.g., 11¼ : 11¾ or just 14 with an equal number of teeth horizontally and vertically).

Everything is already ready behind the scenes. On Wednesday, the script will be executed one last time for the conversion, and the input screen will be updated accordingly by Thursday morning at the latest. Feedback is welcome at any time, of course, but especially as soon as the update is complete.

Kind regards,
Tom de Jong
catalog manager

I want to list a few sets of maximum cards in both my collection and shop.
Some are single cards, while others are in sets.
Should they be listed as sets or individual cards as a set does have different value stamps attached to each card.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Regards.   Maurice.

Pabay is a Scottish island just off the coast of Skye. The name Pabay is derived from an old Norse word meaning "priest's isle"

You say: "unfortunately... it was not possible to restart sending an email. Please try again."
Check your settings in Outlook.
You click on the gear icon.
And then by email.
And check everything.
But also know that Outlook sometimes acts up.

Buizer, I don't really have a problem either, except for an annoying red bar that just won't go away.
And I added lastdodo.com noreply@lastdodo.com to my list. The bar remains.
And René, I don't have orange buttons in my Outlook.

You write that the messages simply arrive in your mailbox.
Then there is no further problem, surely...
Otherwise try noreply.
