Puzzle/New puzzle18 messages

Have a puzzle that is not yet on the site, not even the manufacturer. Now my question how do I get it with my collection.

He is van Boes (cartoon character)

Top Puzzles and produced at Euro Games in Ridderkerk

If you have an item that is not yet in the CataWiki catalog, you just have to enter it and CataWiki will be an item and additional information (new manufacturer / themes) richer.

When entering a new item, you must first analyze the item itself very well. You can do that as follows, for example:

1) What is the kind of item? A puzzle and then you look in the category puzzles

2) What kind of puzzle is it? That's easier here at CataWiki, as there are only 3 types according to them. In your case it is a drawn jigsaw puzzle.

3) What else do you know about the puzzle (dimensions, country of production, number of pieces, etc.)

4) Take photos of your item. Try to take a picture of the top of the lid from the top right, that will be picture 1. Take a picture of the laid puzzle (picture 2) and take a picture of it diagonally or from the side, so that the side is visible (picture 3 ). If there are some extras (such as sample sheets or advertising brochures, use them for extra photos with your own copy.

5) Click Add Item to Catalog. A new form will appear, where you enter your item (in your case a puzzle) according to the data you determined in the previous steps. The manufacturer field is an open field, so you can enter Euro Games there (no place name added !!). This will also be added to the Catalog, so that other people can also enter puzzles of that brand.

6) Write additional explanations for details. Write here what you could not enter in the other entry fields, but keep your information about the item in question. So not where you bought it or from whom, but for example whether there is extra material with the puzzle, such as advertising.

7) Is the item for your collection or do you want to sell it? In the first case, click on the first box (Add to my collection) and in the second case, click on the second hokej (Add to my shop)

7a) If it is for your collection, indicate the condition of your item (puzzle) there. Check the box for images in my collection if you do not have additional images. If you do, leave it blank.

b) If you want to sell the item, specify the condition and price and click on Add images to my shop. That way the buyer can see your puzzle well. If you have more images, leave them empty.

8) Click Add. Your entered item is included in the CataWiki Catalog and can now be included as a collector's item by anyone in their own collection.

9) Did you have some extra images? Then click on your newly entered item. You will then be taken to an input screen that specifically concerns your own copy. Here you can provide even more information that is specifically about your item. Pay attention! If you want to sell your item, anyone can read the comments you entered in Notes! So think about that.

10) Finished filling in? Click on Save and your item in your own CataWiki Catalog is clearly described according to your wishes.

An extensive instruction, but I hope it helps you. And another tip if you are going to enter your puzzle: Under Themes, fill in at least the themes Boes and Cartoon characters. It is also neat if you start the theme names with a capital letter.

Success !!

Compliments for the user manual.

Small note: "Boes" is not a good theme (especially if it is the only Boes puzzle in the section). Themes should be used to group similar items, not to separate them. It makes more sense to link the item (4th link in the right column) to the collection area Comics & gt; Series / heroes & gt; Boes , then it will be placed there under Curiosa.

Found the theme Bommel under the theme list, so it probably doesn't belong there. And we don't want to have / get a very long list of cartoon characters either. I also think that the theme Comic Characters may be approved. After all, it is about the item depicted and it contains cartoon characters.

Further extension of the instructions for use. Specifically specified on the relevant puzzle:

11) Click in Catalog on your entered item. The list of data about the item you entered (the puzzle) is shown with images.

12) Link your item to other collection areas. If there is an item that fits into multiple collection areas, an item must be linked to it. That way, another collector (in your case a collector of Boes) can also find that puzzle and maybe start collecting it.

12a) Click on the text Link collection area. A new screen with very few entry fields will appear (with a very minimal explanation by the way).

12b) Click on the type of collection area. Click on the drop-down list and select your relevant collection area. In your case that is comics.

12c) Fill in the collection area. Enter a description here, preferably as few keywords as possible. By the collection area they actually mean what you want to link your item (the puzzle) to. In your case that is Boes.

12d) Click on Search. New entry fields appear.

13) Choose from the collection areas. You can only make 1 choice per link. Choose the most appropriate description. In your case, in the Series / Heroes category, choose Boes.

14) Linking of item. Click on Link and your item can be seen in that collection area, but as Curiosa. Collectors of Boes can now also find your puzzle.

Addition to the aforementioned preparations: If you have an item with a specific theme, such as cartoon characters, first explore CataWiki where you think it should belong. This is very useful later on when linking an item to another collection area, otherwise you have to guess very well. The auto-completion doesn't always work as fast as you type.

You can also use multiple tabs when linking to another collection area. This keeps the overview and makes it easier to switch between your own item to be completed and the Catalog itself (the collection areas selected by you).

In short: Good preparation is half the battle!

Good morning too,

Glad that people also work at times when most of the Netherlands is on one ear. Thank you very much for the input statement

Cartoons is a good theme in principle, although I would prefer (the existing theme) Comics, because those terms overlap. If an administrator adds Comic Characters as a name variant, it will work automatically.

Bommel might eventually make sense as a theme, if there are dozens of Bommel puzzles among the hundreds of comic puzzles, but certainly not now. Nothing is more annoying than clicking on a theme and finding out again and again that there are only one or two items under it.

You are right about that, but with a view to a future central theme register it is not so bad either.
It will later become a sub-theme of a "main theme comic"

Strip indeed also covers the load. My only concern is that the cartoon characters themselves do not appear in that main list. There are puzzles for almost every cartoon character and that keeps you busy.

I am very curious about that theme register. I see it popping up more and more. When will the switch take place and when can we as users help with it (Except endlessly discussing whether something is covered or not (see plates and stamps))?

Thank you very much for the input statement

No thanks and I think many other collectors will benefit from that too. I am very curious about your puzzle and what kind of manufacturer that Euro Games actually is.

Ik ben dus bezig met mijn legpuzzels en nu merk ik dat "Was gij? puzzels niet makkelijk op te zoeken zijn.

Zelf heb ik ze ook onder twee verschillende thema's gezet. 

Is het niet makkelijker om puzzels waarvan de afbeelding verborgen is onder Mystery puzzels als thema te zetten en Serie Was gij, Mysterie etc.

Ik heb nu een Alfred Hitch onder detectieves staan, een engelse onder mystery en nu ben ik bezig met een kinderpuzzel inside outside en wil ze dus graag bij elkaar hebben staan.

De foto van de gelegde puzzel zet ik bij eigen foto's. Blijft het spannend voor andere liefhebbers.

Maar hoe ze in voeren??

Thema mystery? (of een andere naam) en serie Was gij.....? 

Marjan

So I'm working on my jigsaw puzzles and now I notice that "Was Thou?" puzzles are not easy to look up.

I myself have also put them under two different themes.

Isn't it easier to put puzzles with the picture hidden under Mystery puzzles as the theme and Series Was thou, Mystery etc.

I now have an Alfred Hitch under detectives, an English under mystery and now I'm working on a children's puzzle inside outside and would like to have them together.

I'll add the photo of the completed puzzle to my own photos. It remains exciting for other enthusiasts.

But how to enter them??

mystery theme? (or another name) and series Was thou.....?

Marian

That you don't like them is probably because you search for was ye , while the correct search term is wasgij , so written together.

After all, Wasgij is nothing more than jigsaw backwards, just like elzzup is the reverse of puzzle.

When I search for wasgij anything will show up . If I was looking for you, I will not find anything. You should, but the search engine is often a bit stubborn.

And from Wasgij? Mystery we already have a few.

I agree with Disney's improvement and create puzzles where you don't know what the picture will be Theme: Riddle. Plain Dutch.

What nice puzzles they make nowadays!

I have the puzzle Weed Control adjusted, as I think it should be filled in. With themes you always have to choose the most suitable themes. That way it is also easy to find for people who want to divide their puzzles into themes. For example, you would also give the theme of gardening to this puzzle, but I thought that went a bit too far. A series is a series and not a theme, so the series is, for example, Wasgij? mini, Wasgij? Original, Wasgij? Mystery and a few more of those types.

I think the number refers to the number from the series and actually there should also be a field with the manufacturer number. In the example, that is number 91026. In games, the number field is used for this.

It is a pity that the puzzle you have laid cannot be added, but know that everyone who looks at your collection can also see the solution. . But then that person has to make an effort and thus lose the surprise,

I hope I have helped you with this and if someone has other ideas about this, then that is something nice to discuss here. .

Disney you mean that people can see the puzzles that I put with my own images .?How?

I don't know a year of many puzzles because they are actually only older puzzles. By adding the number I hope to find out somewhere.

I haven't found any puzzles yet. The first Jumbo puzzles are from 1958 but it stops there.

There is one such site of the books of publisher FGCallenbach.

But I will continue to explain and then enter. The puzzles come out of the box again and are checked. You used to think, well lost a piece, but I don't do it for that anymore. Unless ...

I can see your puzzle because you don't have your collection on private. If you look in your profile page you will see a section 'private y / n collection'. If you have the collection set to private, no user will be able to view your collection.

That's right, I have my collection on private, like so many others.
