Our idea is to have a specific forum in each collection area (which can be a series, author, publisher, etc.) that is part of the overall forum you are currently on.
For example, if you click on Forum at Bommel en Tom Poes or at Toonder, you will enter a specific forum where you can discuss everything about that specific topic.
The idea is not to create a forum for each area beforehand, but only to do so with the first post. We still have to work this out a bit further. Maybe you have ideas about this too?

I have added a clearer number of series and album series in your collection to our list.

If you want to add a second author (screenwriter, draftsman, ...), you will no longer see a drop-down list that automatically completes what you have already entered.
I think this is a browser specific problem. I'm fine in Firefox. Which browser are you using?
Furthermore, there are indeed still problems with introducing stories that we want to do something about quickly. It is true that now you can only add 1 story for a new item and more when changing. High on our ToDo list.
Indeed, it is better to always get the name from the dropdown. This prevents the unnecessary creation of an author or series that differs from the existing one.

I really like such a christening name for a background page.

To make it even more confusing: Willy Vandersteen's christening name is Willebrord Vandersteen.

You can of course collect background information yourself, but have you ever thought about talking to Kees Kousemaker from Comiclopedia?
If you link the authors with that, you suddenly have a huge amount of information.

Be an active member of “De reclamestripclub” yourself! So the interest in seeing advertising spend here is definitely there!
Maybe it is an idea to bring some order to the album series by working with a system of series and sub series? Sort of like you can work with folders in Windows Explorer.
Applied to Duck's ad releases here (and there are many more than 4 of them), that would give, for example, the following:
+ Advertising expenses
= & gt; if you then click on the "+", this will open up to:
- Advertising expenses | - Zwitsal | - GGD | - Network Notaries | - Kruidvat | - ...
I don't know if that is technically feasible, but that would make the album series a lot clearer.
Once in place this can also be used for other series, such as for the red knight (my management area):
+ Regular series
becomes:
- Regular series | - Uncoloured series (1st edition) | - Uncolored series (reprints) | - Colored series (1st edition) | - Colored series (reprints)
That seems to me to be the best solution anyway, but as said before: is it also technically feasible?

Album series is not a required field. Perhaps it is also an idea to only fill in the album series if there really is a series and leave it empty for a separate release. Then we could automatically make the albums with an empty album series available jointly via a fixed link “One-time releases” in the left column. Apart from that, albums where album series has not been entered or simply occur if you have everything from a series in your selection (as happens by default, sorted by year).

Are there clubs made of that? I didn't know that :-)
hmm, hmm. I get your point. The problem is that it becomes such a messy, long list of all those album series with 1 commercial issue in it.

Oops, there is a very active Advertising Strip Club in Belgium. So be careful what you say deblouw. On Catawiki there is also a Type of “Advertising Release” which is managed by Kamiel, member of the Advertising Strip Club.
Album series in itself is not intended to bundle comics of the same kind. That is precisely what the field “Type” is (if you click on Types on the homepage, you will see which are available).
Maybe I should add the types of “Plagiarism” and “Parody” to that.

Yes, author names must all be rechecked. We have the pseudonyms in separate database fields. We indicate this in brackets after the author's name. These will be quickly correctable by administrators.
We want to move towards pages with background information about authors that also contain these pseudonyms and that can be completed / corrected.
Besides pseudonyms, we also know “name variations” in our database that we use in the search function. An example of this is “Willy van der Steen” as a name variation for Willy Vandersteen.
By the way, Willy once had the following pseudonyms that are now all neatly listed: Bobs, Wil, Mik, Pim. However, they are not that well known so it is still the question for me whether you should show all pseudonyms in brackets everywhere

I'm not scared that easily, but luckily that saves a lot of corrective work :-)

If there are stories from multiple series in an album then it is indeed better not to put one of those series names in the album series name. Because then you get confused when you watch the other series.
I would do “Bundelingen (Finnish)”.

I sometimes look at the publisher itself, and you often find great pictures. Indeed no backs, but probably the best fronts. and it seems to me that complaining about rights will not do such a publisher. After all, you no longer count as a publisher if you are not a catawikid ;-)

The only point is that if you do that with multiple series, you get an album series “commercial releases” that contains all kinds of different kinds of comics that have nothing to do with each other, except that they are commercials. On the other hand, the question is again who will search for “advertising expenditure”; it is more important that the album series per series / hero are clear. If someone is specifically looking for the Donald Duck ad release of the GGD , they do enter GGD in the search field…

Makes it clearer, yes.
I've also done something like "One-off releases" for one shots that cannot be included in any series. And for Plagiarism expenses. For both, see the series / hero Agent 327.
At De Generaal I saw the series "10 years of De General" and "15 years of De General". Can also be within one series: "Anniversary Issues".
In my opinion, these kinds of combis make the list of album series per series just a little more clear.

The album series list contains 4 different advertising releases with 1 item each (The Zwitsal has two, but I think that's a duplicate). Is it an idea to merge these series into "Advertising expenses"?

If you click on the main section “Comics” on our homepage, you will see three top-5 lists on the Comics page that appears:
- Most new items (the number of added comic items to the catalog)
- Most improvements (the number of fields filled in or corrected for comic items)
- Most images (the number of images added to the catalog for comic items) )
A fourth top-5 will soon be added to this:
- Most added prices (the number of prices added to the catalog).
We link a competition to these lists to reward people who score high on this and to encourage people who are not yet listed to get in. All in the interest of a comics catalog that is as good and complete as possible, so in our common interest :-)
The competition is quite simple: whoever is in the four top-5 lists at the end of the year (December 31, 2008 at the end of the day) will receive a nice prize per entry in one of the lists.
There are 20 prizes. The person who scores highest in the 1st column of the top-5 lists (most new items) may choose first, the person who scores highest in the 2nd column (most improvements) may choose second, etc. After the one who ends highest in the 4th column (most added prices) may choose the one who finished second in the first column, then the second in the second column, etc.
To take the wind out of your sails: if you cheat by, for example, deliberately changing fields or pictures unnecessarily several times, you no longer compete for prizes. You don't do that even if you add nonsense items, data, images or prices because they are reversed and that is meaningless.
And it concerns manual additions so Peter Bonte really has to get started for his price :-)
You can see how you score yourself when you view your own profile as others see you (go to My Profile in the main navigation and select the link to "My Profile on Catawiki" under "How others see me now"). Now you only see the number of items you have added there. How you score on the other 3 criteria will be shown quickly.
I will present the list of 20 prizes at this place in the near future. To give you a glimpse of the price veil, you can choose from a rare and precious Leblon-Delienne Gaston Flater lamp and a Blake and Mortimer album from the Lombard Collection (first edition). So it's not just any prizes!
UPDATE in my second post below is all 20 prizes.
So make sure you can choose the four best prizes by being at the top four times.
Good luck everyone!

Yes, I have understood that for a long time. But I personally find the name of an album more important than how a cartoon character is known. Then you would eg Kiekeboe and Fanny and co. could also put it under a series right?

Hmm. You also have a point… I think there is something to say for both ways… The advantage of the name "Scrooge McDuck" is that it can also be found when you search for "Duck". And if you search for "Uncle Scrooge" you will also find him, then you will simply end up with Scrooge McDuck.
We just have to use 1 of the 2 writing methods and implement it consistently. We just have to be careful that someone does not suddenly use the other spelling ...

Seems to me too, you know, and if there are more pseudonyms, separate them with commas between those brackets.
I don't think anyone is waiting for the baptismal names of authors such as Willy Geert Lohmann or Martin Spyridon whatever Lodewijk…
I was already amazed about Walker, Morton that I met somewhere. Don't we just know that man as Walker, Mort?

With me he is also with Uncle Scrooge, because that is how the series is known. The Donald Duck series is simply not known as Uncle Donald, even though he is an uncle and his name is Donald.
Do you still understand me?
