Lyonesse  Helv

I expressly oppose the addition of the middle name.
I don't think this is necessary at all and makes the list of designers / engravers unnecessarily extensive and heavy.
Moreover, this is contrary to the manual and the explanation next to the input field: "You can insert designer (s) here, possibly also photographers. If a work of art is deposited on the stamp, do not enter the designer of the work of art but the designer of the stamp. The artist who created the work of art can be inserted in ‘ person themes ’.
First, surname followed by a comma. Then initials or first name and then prefix. Example: Crouwel, Wim (1928-2019)."

I believe this was the initial intention, both for this list and the list of person themes: short and clear.
Of course, this does not prevent that and it is even desirable that details about the lives of these people should end up in a background page, including full first names, date of birth and death, main works etc.
This will be a thousand times more meaningful than the addition than a second or third middle name
Let us keep it simple in the overview and put the extension in a background page.

A background page of Chickering is now available.

A background page of Chickering was already available on Wikipedia.
I'm sure that you know that copying texts that were written by other people is usually frowned upon.
The entry form for any backgound page also states (in Dutch):
Op het invoeren zijn een aantal spelregels van toepassing. De belangrijkste zijn: schrijf zelf de tekst en schrijf objectief en beknopt.

You can do better.

What I mentioned with the addition of a middle name does not seem to matter to you. Unfortunately.

With regard to the already existing background page, you do not tell me where it would be, at least not with the designer Chickering himself where it should actually be.

As far as the text is concerned, I have explicitly mentioned which sources I have used, in this case Wikipedia.

I have no opinion on adding the middle name. 
I was not referring to an existing background page on LastDodo but on Wikipedia. You are right there was no info here yet about Chickering.
But word-for-word copying of other website's full texts is not allowed. Not even if the source is mentioned, which you did not.

First you make a false allegation about a non existing background page and now you call me a liar?

Collectioneur can you take a look at Loriot's comment? The stamp manual is not very extensive with regard to naming. It seems to me that the rules from the general manual can be used?

General LD manual:
For persons with multiple first names, the first first name is always written in full. Any subsequent first names may be omitted, written out in full, or indicated with initials.
Please note: The freedom of choice in displaying first names obviously only applies when a new name is entered for a person not yet known. If a person is already included in the database in a certain way, this must of course be filled in or selected from the dropdown.

Perhaps the help text for Postage Stamps needs some adjustment?

Other says Chickering, Charles Ransom [1891-1970] , while stamps says Chickering, Charles R. [1891-1970] . I think it would be a good Lyonesse proposal to make the name under Stamps the same as that under Other. Unless the help text for stamps is deliberately intended to prevent multiple first names.

I apologise if have have missed your reference, but I cannot find any mention of this source for the copied texts on the backgound page that you added to this website.

No hypocrisy please!
Apply the text of the manual as it has always been so far, and don't change it to get it right again.
Do you think I am too little to share your possible arguments with me?
Unfortunately, my esteem for you drops every day. By the way, I still expect an answer to my question regarding a new area.

You could have immediately asked me where the reference is to Wikipedia, instead of blaming me bluntly.
Chickering is an American designer and his background page is part of the background pages for the United States catalog.
On the background page of this country you will find a section "Sources of information for USA background pages"

Good lord, do you really expect me (and everyone else) to have read every background page you contributed to...?

(I could also argue that your "Sources of information for USA background pages" only mention https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/  and that the French version does not contain any information on Charles Chickering. But that would be petty.)

Good night.

Helv etc
Basic manual Article 6.1.1.1 General spelling is clear in my opinion.
This is also done in most sections, with the other first names sometimes also added.
However, this is allowed, provided that there is no name in which only (the same) initials are written. Sometimes it is necessary to use first names if there are more people with the same name and initials.

We do not have a central register of names and from the system it does not matter whether you write all first names in full or use initials.
Take a look at the Authors in the Books and Comics sections. Usually only 1 first name is used there, but sometimes all first names are used. But is that disturbing?

In any case, stamps deviate from the spelling with the addition of the years. But is that disturbing?

If there is a need to be very strict with the spelling of names, the Basic Manual will first have to be adjusted. But do explain the need for this clearly.
The result of such an adjustment will be a huge operation in all sections where names are used.

You can change the People theme, Lajos Kossuth (1806-1894) to Lajos Kossuth (1802-1894)
Here's a photo of him.

Helv ,
On the German side, the usage type shows Franking, Freimarken. Freimarken are normal stamps, which you can indeed use for franking. But with Sondermarken you can also postage.
The direct translation of frankeer is frankier, but this sounds strange in German. Maybe you can make it frankieren or freimachen (franking)?.

Charles1971 I think your argument applies to all languages. In Dutch you can also frank with special stamps. Yet Franking Stamps is the common name. The current name was determined by a former German administrator.

Okay Helv, then it will stay like this.

But perhaps the old manager made a mistake Freimark or Freimachen?.

If you look at the Designer Ivan Lukin, it is listed twice.
Why?
Can you merge them?

Good evening
I wanted to point out in the draftsman/engraver category, there are duplicates sometimes spelling errors.
Example: 
Belton L
Belton Liam
Laszlo Gyula (Julian) Vasarhelyi
Vasarhelyi, Laszlo Gyula (Julian) [1929-2013]

Thank you
