With this reasoning I can abolish a few more types, or even complete sections.

Oh well, when people post cynical comments, I sometimes want to respond cynically too.

If 10.12 Se-tenant is clear to everyone, then only the introduction to Chapter 10 needs to be adjusted. Please provide concrete proposals, as previously requested.

Then we have to make it 'Owls with ears' and 'Owls without ears'. Seems a bit stupid, but only then can it be translated into French differently: 'Hiboux' and 'Chouettes'. With just 'Owls' you can only have one translation into French.
Or you translate it as "Chouettes ou/et hiboux"?

Charles1971 since there is indeed a base stamp, the rule citing Loriot cannot be applied. I tried that a year ago in a part of Germany and am now busy with the reconstruction :-/

So leave Lyonesse as it is now.
Perhaps you should take a look at #8153227 , an imperforate stamp with code You could well belong to the perforation variety.

Charles1971 ("administrator"?)
What nonsense!
First read carefully no. 10.2 of the manual.
Stamps Manual 4.11
“10.2 Perforation variety
Variety of perforation: is, as the word itself says, a variety of an originally existing perforation.
Stamps with the same perforation that have one, two or three imperforated sides (for example,
stamps of booklets) are not perforation varieties but remain under the type of "stamp". The
completely unfranked stamps are no perforation varieties either.
Self-adhesive stamps issued with the same design as a gummed stamp should not be classified as a variety but as a stamp. The differences between these stamps are so great that they are generally not considered to be varieties.”

Two stamps of 50 were issued on the same day, January 23, 1922, one with perforation K14 and the other with perforation L13¾. 
They can never be a variety of a nonexistent stamp. One can never be a variety of the other either, since they were both issued on the same day (unless of course you know at what time of that day they were released).
They both have the type of "stamp".

Only one se-tenant is allowed as an item per expenditure group.
I was already not in favor of issuing groups, but adding only one se-tenant per issuing group no longer has anything to do with philately or how certain stamps were or were not issued together.
instead of making it more clear by unbundling series and se-tenant, you make it more difficult by lumping together all kinds of se-tenants (that meet the current criterion of maximum se-tenant).

Example
The 2001 issue of Ukrainian folk costumes already has three se-tenants (introduced in accordance with the current manual). No doubt someone will eventually have time to merge this series, which runs over several years, with the issues in other years and a number of more pairs will be added. It doesn't make sense to hang it under 1 item (and also requires extra work from a super administrator - downloading images, merging them, uploading images).

Collectioneur
Perhaps the best solution is to simply eliminate the Se-tenant type, which will save administrators a lot of work.
With this reasoning I can abolish a few more types, or even complete sections.

As far as I'm concerned, the current definition of se-tenant is clear.
The problem lies with the improper mixing with series in my opinion.
By the way, there are plenty of se-tenants that are smaller than the complete series.

So there is clearly a distinction in French. And that's precisely the problem: in Dutch there is only one word for both: Owls...

Then we have to make it 'Owls with ears' and 'Owls without ears'. Seems a bit stupid, but only then can it be translated into French differently: 'Hiboux' and 'Chouettes'. With just 'Owls' you can only have one translation into French.
PS: if the translation is not ok, just change the language to NL.

The hibou has crests that are reminiscent of ears, unlike the chouette which does not.
For hibou/hiboux, we can use both in French.
Singular hibou 
Plural hiboux

Another late April Fool's joke for sure Collectioneur . There are now more than 10,000 se-tenants.
Why not allow more than one se-tenant per expenditure group? And then allow different se-tenants, but as an image for that one item?. Seems to me to be a clear one for the manual.
Only one se-tenant is allowed as an item per expenditure group. Different se-tenants can be used as a second, third image, etc.

I understand that most people like to give all kinds of examples to show that it might become more difficult. I think the same problem already exists with searching whether certain se-tenants are already included as a 2nd image.
Perhaps the best solution is to simply eliminate the Se-tenant type, which will save administrators a lot of work. A matter of balancing the interests between the administrators on the one hand and the collectors on the other.

I also see advantages for administrators, they can immediately see whether the entered se-tenant is already there and do not have to search whether this is part of the largest possible se-tenant.

Please explain to me...
If you allow all possible combinations, for example in a July stamp area (where hundreds of issues contain a sheet of 50 different stamps - sometimes several), you as an administrator (or user) can easily find your piece. There are > 500 combination possibilities from such a sheet. With the stamps loose, the sheets (sometimes issued in several different forms) and the booklets... that's fast for a se-tenant alone > 12 screens!
Then the management of Jultempel areas ends. I'm certainly not going to search through dozens of screens with different se-tenants every time someone adds a piece of 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 ... as a se-tenant. With different positions, or orientations, of the different stamps that are possible per number. No one can find anything meaningful in such a mess.
Especially (just look at those sheets) because it is very difficult (apparently) for the average user to properly recognize the individual stamps themselves. They all look a bit similar, but are slightly different.
Then you will soon be able to spend a few days reviewing one se-tenant (one item). No, ' direct ' is certainly not a good choice of words.
I already know someone who can easily add several hundred for one issue.

I have given my vision about series/se-tenant. To use exception items sparingly that have little to no functional use. It is a matter of keeping the catalog manageable (usable).
The opposite is now being promoted... I'll see where it comes from (but actually I already know enough).

I think it looks just right Lyonesse . The basic stamp, Michel 175 (non-existent, tolerated stamp) is neatly in the row between the basic stamps. Easy to find for the less demanding collector. The two variants of each other, Michel 175 A and B, are neatly next to each other, providing a nice overview for the more demanding collector. This can easily compare the real stamps with each other.

Also take a look at Poland under Use type, Service.

I'm pretty sure that's not just one edition, because there's no reason why two or more different designs for the front or back covers would be used in one edition.
Four variants are known of the first edition of Dracula by Bram Stoker. I don't know why a publisher does this, but it does happen.

From the stamps:

I can only find the first among the numbers #2991107 and/or #2986071 . (or is that a duplication, both Michel #27 ?)
I can't discover the other one, is there a way to quickly find stamps without face value or year? Perhaps they are not stamps?

I'll just put my question here, yes it is about stamps.
Is about #1829897 this is indicated in the Issue group as Serrated with a type of Stamp.
This #393129 is indicated in the Issue group at the bottom as Perforation variety, although it is actually the correct stamp Michel 175A Perforation K14
This #2326411 is also referred to at the bottom in the Issue group as Perforation variety Michel 175B Perforation L13 3/4, which I think is correct.
My question now belongs #1829897 so the Serrated seal should not be included in the species, Serrated variety.
And with #393129 where it is now stated that the type Perforation variety is not simply stated Seal.
Then this stamp will be neatly included in the list of K14 Tanding.
And one more general question about where it now stands for Tanning. Not all these are actually Tanding varieties. I think that's where all the teeth are mixed up.

This had to do with the fear that otherwise an infinite number of combinations would be introduced.

That fear was also present during, among other things, the adjustment of the FDC definition. Little came of it.
We must be careful in determining how users should collect stamps. There are probably people who collect every possible Se-tenant from one sheet or want to offer it for sale. Such an expansion will certainly lead to more items in LD, but certainly not to unworkable situations. The advantage I see is that people find it easier to find the item they have in their hands. They do not have to open the existing se-tenants to see whether their copy is already there as the 2nd, 3rd or 4th image.
I also see advantages for administrators, they can immediately see whether the entered se-tenant is already there and do not have to search whether this is part of the largest possible se-tenant.

The cross of stripspeldjes is quite similar to what I have in mind. But there will undoubtedly be other opinions.

Were those colors deliberately mixed up by the printer or was this a coincidence because the printing plates for another plate were placed the other way around?
This does not seem to me to be a variant for comic books, such as a reprint, different cover, extra pages.
What is not possible in any case is the distinction between a, a/b and b. The choice is to accept variants based on the starting color (a or b) or not accept this as a variant.
My personal opinion is that we should not go down this path. I am certainly curious about the opinions of other collectors/manager.

Collectioneur The definition of a se-tenant as described under point 10.12 still meets all requirements - The word series does not appear - In point 10 Type of moves appearance se-tenant see point 10.12 and delete the rest -The if necessary, supplement the line above for series with A complete series of loose stamps is always included separately, regardless of the original appearance.

Assist:
A Se-tenant is a field part that consists of a combination of 2 (or more) coherent and different stamps (in terms of image, color, value or print),

A se-tenant does not contain identical stamps (duplicates) and can consist of a horizontal or vertical combination (pair or strip) or a block, possibly with attached vignettes or tabs.

A special form of se-tenant is the continuous , in which the image forms a continuous whole over several stamps (this can be mentioned under Special Features).

The bigger question, of course, is what the additional conditions should be for including a se-tenant as a separate item. In the past it was decided to limit it to only the largest possible combination (often the entire Series), whereby all smaller combinations may only be placed as an additional image. This had to do with the fear that otherwise an infinite number of combinations would be introduced. For example, with a simple combination of 4 stamps printed repetitively on a larger sheet, in theory 4 different blocks of four can be torn, 4 horizontal pairs and 4 vertical pairs. And if the blocks are staggered (i.e. if the four stamps appear in a row), se-tenants are possible in another 4 horizontal strips of three, 4 of four, 4 vertical of three and 4 vertical of four. That's 21 possible items.
With larger se-tenants, the number of possible combinations increases exponentially.

I think that in practice the "pollution" of the catalog by these types of items is not too bad, as long as you do not allow digital cutting. If someone actually has another se-tenant combination in his possession (with the same seals), then it should (in my opinion) be allowed (as is also the case with Combinations from booklets).

Just a specific example: Bonanza #1 from ZNU is available in no fewer than 5 variants in the catalogue. I'm pretty sure that's not just one edition, because there's no reason why two or more different designs for the front or back covers would be used in one edition. I assume that the version with the overview of ZNU publications is the 1st edition and the version with the Dennis advertisement is a reprint (since it lists series that were still missing from the overview of ZNU publications and were only published in 1961). have started). There are two separate variants with Dennis on the back, which differ in the text on the cover and the way in which the number is indicated. One of those variants is clearly based on the book edition that came out around the same time (the book says TV album 1, the word album has been removed from the comic). I wouldn't know which of those two variants was released first and in what year it was (the copyright year is 1960, just like everywhere else).

Then a special phenomenon occurs, because a general entry was first created for the version with ZNU publications on the back (https://www.lastdodo.nl/nl/items/389861-ben-cartwright-en-zijn-zonen -in-a-battle-between-greedy-colonists-and-bloodthirsty-Indians). Later, separate entries were added for the variants that start with brown pages and the variant that starts with green pages. Actually, one of two things should happen: either the general entry should be split between the two separate entries, or the two separate entries should be merged with the general one. The first is virtually impossible (because then all collectors and shops would have to check whether their variant starts with a brown or a green page). The second would mean that we decide that the order of the colors is not relevant as a variant. For now I have solved it by giving the two separate entries a subnumber a and b and the general entry subnumber 'a/b', which makes it clear that it is actually a mixture of the specific variants. I'm curious if other administrators have ever had something like this happen.

There will undoubtedly be many more examples of something that is wrong. But I am looking for something that collectors and administrators can work with. Too often in the past, something has been assumed without being properly put down on paper. We just have to get a set of rules on paper that is clear and understandable by everyone, without having to interpret.

Please provide a correct definition of a Se-tenant, without naming the series.
