Well seen, that stamp does not belong in that series. Looks like a duplicate to me #2464765 (if the watermark is correct), I don't know enough about India though. I think 7451Dick knows this.

It's a pity that collectors and sellers are already hanging on to it. So they didn't pay attention.

 According to Stanley Gibbons there are several stamps of 1R representing George V (and not VI):
1)
Issued on 1911.12.01: 1R brown and green (shades) SG nr. 186
Issued in 1913: 1R red-brown and deep blue green SG 185 ( =  #5303715 which is not SG 186) 
Issued in 1913: 1R orange brown and deep turquoise green SG 185a (shade of SG 185) 
Watermark: Star (pentagram) 
2) 
Issued in 1926: 1R chocolate and green SG 214 (=  #2464765
Watermark: Stars (pentagrams) 


 #7365943: It is clearly the image of King George V and I would say a double of  #5303715 but with SG number 185 instead of SG 186.

Loriot klopt het is duidelijk George V , maar dan is de beschrijving niet goed ,want deze geeft de beschrijving van George VI.
Dus de foto of de beschrijving zijn niet correct.

I haven't been able to rate this one yet. Patience, only a few 1000 reviews behind India.....
Conclusion is correct: image and data do not match. Now all that's left to do is to solve the misery caused.
That brings me to an additional question. Who is responsible for all those "adherents" who have labeled an erroneous stamp as "in collection" or "wanted"?

Because it was for sale in a shop.

No, you have the choice between:
a. The responsibility lies with the user, who apparently has not been paying attention, or
b. The responsibility lies with the administrator, who has not yet reviewed the item, which could have caused the users to make a mistake.
The answer is important to what happens to this erroneous entry. It is best to delete everything due to incorrect input. But that is not possible with the prevailing climate here. Keep what has been entered; imagine a dissatisfied user complaining!

7451Dick the item has now been modified by the creator, but this is no longer possible. Collectors and sellers are already attached to it, who would then suddenly own or offer something completely different.

Assuming the people linked have looked at year and catalog numbers rather than the wrong image, I suggest removing the image (or replacing it with the correct one if anyone has one).

Wrong! 
The changes made by the originator didn’t improve the item: SG catalogue number and watermark are incorrect and also one of the exact colours. Further more all Indian stamps from SG 35 to 200 were typographed by De La Rue. Perforation is 14 and not 14x13½. 

Collectors and sellers are already attached to it, who would then suddenly own or offer something completely different. 

The item didn’t make any sense the first time and it isn’t better the second time. The collectors are the victims of this item with contradictory characteristics: the object must be deleted!

Loriot : deleting the object is indeed also an option. Deletion can only be done by super management postmaster (merge with catalog item 'DELETE').

Petvre
I think if you change the photo you have a duplicate
perhaps, that should be taken into account. The latest changes have now most likely duplicated this entry. In any case, it is no longer correct at all, because it is now suddenly a different (paper catalogue) item than originally entered. And that is really 'not done' if people are already linked to it. At the very least, those people should then be informed (unless the item is moved to 'DELETE', then it will end up in the big mess).

And now I think that enough words have been wasted on this one item, there are still a few thousand items to be found. This is just an example of the daily work of administrators cleaning areas, nothing special.

 And now I think that enough words have been wasted on this one item, 
I don't agree:
#2464765 has also contradictory elements: 
SG 186 has colours brown and green (shades), the image is red brown and deep blue green and has SG 185; Michel nr. 86a has colours green and brown, issued on 1913.06.01 and not in 1911.
Corrections should be done by   7451Dick , originator of this item.

Loriot 
I am NOT the originator, but I only made 2 contributions to stamp #2464765 (versions 6 and 9).
Furthermore, all possible colours and watermark variations are present in the database (all with LD numbers lower than the stamp in question). For that reason, the stamp #7365943 should be rejected as being a double. That is then also functioning as a "punishment" for all those users which automatically added this stamp to their collection or want-list without checking.
Alternatively, you can do nothing and leave the matter be eternally.
Thanks go to the original introducer of the stap, who has assured us that the scan was as intended, and the data added were wrong.

7451Dick
My mistake! I meant of course #5303715 and not #2464765. The rest of my last message remains unchanged.
