What I do in these cases is the most complete suits and if necessary supplement with info of the double item.
Then I mail Réné the ITEM NUMBERS who can go what the correct item number is.
If the books that can be disposed of are already in people's collection, they can be 'rebooked' to the correct album.

I also just put the story title in the foreign language, you know, but I put the Dutch title in brackets after it.

I don't think it's a good idea (yet), because I think you should completely change the architecture of Catawiki. Can't imagine this being on the priority list.

We can also put people on the moon (Tintin even already :-) so this should be technically possible. At least that's not the point. I think all the data needed for this is already in the database.
If I understand correctly, you want to introduce an extra level between the series and what is now album series and use that extra level in such a way that the field “Kind” and the separate group “Curiosa” are no longer necessary.
Then you have the series first, then an intermediate level that resembles what is now Kind and then the album series, figurines, etc.
For example: series: Suske en Wiske & gt; group: luxury editions & gt; album series: deluxe red series & gt; title: The Wondere Wolfje
That is an interesting thought. My doubts are just that introducing an extra level will make it even more complex for many people. I am already getting questions about how album series works under series.
I want to think about this tonight and tomorrow and discuss it with Marco. Also about the technical impact (because it is certainly possible, but it is of course a bit of work).
In any case, thank you very much for your interesting and thoughtful suggestion!

@ arco / rene
I corrected the Kid entry: Smet, Peter de instead of Peter de Smet. They seem okay, you have to choose which one to take away.
The problem is, however, that one version is with some in the collection while others are logged in with the other version.

I also use the foreign title. you can easily search with it on eBay, for example.
I would like to put the story title in Dutch. It is possible to get it out of the Indian series. The covers are the same.

I didn't get a response to it in the Disney forum yet, so maybe better post here again:
By working with main series and sub series there could be more clarity everywhere as that could also solve the current problems with curiosities, SC / HC, foreign languages and prepublishments all at once :-)
example:
+ Other language editions
+ Bundles
+ Curiosa
+ Luxes
+ Advertising editions
+ Regular series
+ ...
And once expanded:
- Other language editions | - German | - English | - Greek | - ...
- Bundelingen | - Lekturama | - ...
- Curiosities | - figurines | - ex-libri | - pins | - puzzles | - ...
- Luxes | - ...
- Advertising expenses | - Zwitsal | - GGD | - Network Notaries | - Kruidvat | - ...
- Regular series | - Dargaud SC | - Oberon SC | - Oberon HC | - ...
So you can unfold each main series individually by clicking on it or not, after which you will see a list of the subseries.
With about 20 standard “main series” (or better categories?) As I call it here, I think it should be possible to catalog all existing series of all series / heroes, with these standard main series coming back every time . If everyone understands what I mean.
I write about 20, but I think that the majority of these 11 can already be cataloged: advertising), Magazines, Parodies and Plagiarism)
Only I don't know if it is technically possible and if everyone thinks this is a good idea?

@arco
Basically you are right, I will gauge the opinion of Peter Ottens (Tintin in sight). It's such a shame not to use their information. Certainly as far as the tufts are concerned, but you're right, it's their job

That's right. It also searches for pseudonyms and name variations.

Maybe that's for the best. That we can indicate what the main series is and that the photo gallery opens with it.
With the author you could open as already happened I think because it is interesting to see chronologically (sorted by year) what an author has made.

You could call it that, yes, but is it really the intention that we also type it into Catawiki like that? I suddenly see, for example, albums change from "Oberon releases" to "Main series sc".
Is it really the intention to change this or is there a function in Catawiki to "designate" that main series?

Officially, you are not allowed to retrieve data from other catalogs to create a new catalog. That's just someone else's job. You should actually get all your data from the albums themselves or from your own notes.
I ran into it when entering Dossier CID 005 at Agent 327. Nowhere in that album does it say a year, while Matla simply puts down 1985. Apparently he noted that somewhere when the album came out, but I can't do anything with it.
Of course there is a twilight zone, but retyping everything from Matla just like that is theft, although Matla must of course be able to prove it.
The best thing would be if Matla embraced Catawiki and started working with it himself. Comic lovers have been waiting long enough for a new version of his catalog.

Choosing the last name, first name, pseudonym does mean that you must be familiar with the real name of the author.
I know most of them, but I had to think deeply about Dany's real name. And indeed I find all those names a bit exaggerated with Martin Lodewijk. Glad I don't have an extra christening name :-)
You don't have to: if you search on the pseudonym you can find the author too, right?

But what about retrieving data from catalogs. (matla, ottens variegated)
Nothing wrong with me, why invent the wheel twice.

seems fine to me Rene!
maybe you can immediately remove the following empty collection areas:
Scrooge McDuck
Scrooge McDuck (English)
Scrooge McDuck (French)
Uncle Scrooge McDuck
Uncle Scrooge (English)

Shall I make it "Uncle Scrooge (Duck)" in one go. Fixes both issues.

If I can adjust the "bulk", so change "Scrooge McDuck" to "Uncle Scrooge" everywhere at once, I will. Ultimately, that is indeed the series name.

That's a good idea from Experiment626 indeed. That way we don't have to have a separate series / hero for Donald Duck weekly and Donald Duck Extra. Then it just becomes:
Donald Duck
- Main series Donald Duck
- 50 series
- etc
- Advertising publications | - Zwitsal | - GGD | - Network Notaries | - Kruidvat
- Donald Duck weekly | - Year 1952 | - Year 1953 | - Year 1954 | - Year 1955 | - Etcetera
I think it would be nice if Donald Duck weekly and Donald Duck are simply placed between the Donald Duck album series. As far as I am concerned, with a click through to the sub-series: with a + - fold-out system it is also possible, but it may not become clearer because you then get a very long list,

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?

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.
