If I find something and it can be neatly stored somewhere at LD anywhere, I will report it here,
Keep doing it, my thought. It is always an opportunity that can be taken advantage of. It doesn't help, it doesn't hurt either.
And that applies to every section, not just Music.
Until now, the cooperation with the administrators has always been excellent
And it will remain that way. However, administrators are also allowed to have their own opinions. They are also people (users) who, in addition to management, are also collectors. The forum is there to express those opinions (sometimes sighs).
Whether or not anything is done with it is another matter. An effort has already been made, and isn't that alone commendable?

What a picture or photo can lead to a nice discussion.
I was actually looking for another rights organization, namely ML stands for, Mechanlizenz is one from Switzerland.
During my research I came across the GEMA Label.
And this picture is now neatly entered at GEMA by Collectioneur
If I find something and it can be neatly stored somewhere at LD, I will report it here, what they ultimately do with it, others can decide, no more and no less.
But until now the cooperation with the administrators has always been excellent.
Otherwise it would have stopped long ago.
Can also do something else, there are still thousands of coins waiting that I still have to catalogue, found with a detector over the years.

It is always better to fill (utilize) an empty space if there is benefit to be gained from it.
You attract attention with a collectible image. Now that attention is there when your collection area gets GEMA on your screen (click through the detail of an item). You completely get into the atmosphere and still get the feeling that you have arrived in a gathering area.
If the entry in the Music section has already been added to an item almost 4,500 times, then I think it is useful and interesting enough, right?



Whether it is the newest, the oldest or an intermediate logo does not matter much. An image that is recognizable and can be linked to that collection area. A logo is often best (or a flag for a collection area of a country).
You can always include a historical overview of successive logos in the background page itself.
Adding an image for a staging area is negligible in terms of work. You can do it in just a few seconds. Afterwards it offers functional benefits.
The eyes are drawn to the statement 'Do you know much about this collection area? Add background info'. Inviting. For everyone. An administrator without time doesn't have to do it. A user who is not an administrator can also do that. It may not be important to one person, but even more so to another.

Perhaps LD can fill the space with an image by default with a large question mark, with the text "Send a recognizable logo via administrators."?
In my opinion, background in the collection areas is still not being used optimally enough. There are many good background pages for collection areas where the 'attention grabber' is unfortunately missing. Often the message that someone put time into is lost.
You are welcome to have a different opinion, this is just mine.

I don't know if that logo has changed over time

Dick52
Actually, my main objection was that I didn't recognize the logo at all. After research it appears that this logo can only be found on recent sound posters.


I know quite a few collectors, but I have never spoken to one who searches on BIEM.

I completely agree. So a logo will not be viewed?

Rights organizations can be important for estimating the age of an item, but they are not yet used or used insufficiently. It is an idea to at least record in a background page during which period a specific rights organization was/is active. Only, do we have time for that?

That's right, but I responded to vertigo who did not immediately indicate the usefulness of the rights organizations and I agree with him!
I wouldn't worry at all whether such a logo would be added
I don't know if that logo has changed over time, but if it's like record labels then it's a useless thing
The photo of the artist/band is fine, although Mick and Paul don't look like they did when I was younger!

vertigo Lyonesse Collectioneur Jummekestripspeldjes

Maybe it seems a bit catty, but I still have not discovered the added value of the rights organizations,
It is fun every now and then, but just like the date on a label, it is a fixed fact and whether it is a reprint from 10 years later and the label is completely different, the year of release and the rights organization remain the same
Have no problem with it being mentioned!
I know quite a few collectors, but I have never spoken to one who searches on BIEM.
I'm thinking of other things that are nailed down, such as lumping WDR and DDR together!
Personally, I think there are things that should have more priority.
And every now and then we are all short-sighted.

There is much more knowledge than you can find on the internet.

To date, nothing has emerged of this. Not an underestimation, but an estimate.

I think you underestimate the users. There is much more knowledge than you can find on the internet.
And anything that can persuade people to share that knowledge is, in my opinion, valuable for the catalogue.

How did I imagine you would respond to this?
Do you even see the point in anything?
I think if it were up to you, we at LD would still be where we were 5 years ago.
But fortunately you are not the only one in charge, there are also other administrators here at LD.
I actually didn't want to respond to such things from you anymore, but it tickled my fingers to write anyway.
And you were not asked by me to change this at all.

[edit]
GEMA has appeared at Last Dodo 4500 times and this is the official logo of GEMA
And it's just like Tammo writes, it brightens up the Catalogue.

Many people will not know what a rights organization is

Collectioneur
Fortunately, we have the internet for that. The administrators and users do not know more about this subject than they can find on the internet. And copying internet pages is not allowed.

That adds more color and provides visual information.

And sometimes also more unnecessary nonsense, as in this case.

The rights organization is a statement on the label, which is copied on a one-to-one basis. No further information is necessary.

That seems pretty short-sighted to me.
Many people will not know what a rights organization is and a background page is a very suitable tool for this.
We would also like administrators to place such images in as many collection areas as possible. That adds more color and provides visual information.

I suspect it is an image to add to the staging area via the admin module.

Raoul62
I already understood that. My point is that this addition is useless. There will probably never be a background page, because there is no need for it.

I suspect it is an image to add to the staging area via the admin module. This draws attention to a possible background page when a user requests the collection area.
Now there is nothing.


With such an image (which only administrators of that section can add) you draw the user to the 'Background' section. Inviting to read it, or create it if non-existent.

e.g.:

The usefulness of Gema's image escapes me. It also doesn't look like what the labels say, so why? I would rather see a proper background page.

Perfect Jilles, also those three different photos
Have another one for you.
For the Artists, Composers, Lyricists and Producers, Helen Shepherd is her birth name, Helena Schaap, you can change this.
Here's a photo of her.

And you can post this photo to the rights organization GEMA.

Fine Collectioneur and FransS
Is there one for Jilles.
It concerns Herman Pieter de Boer and his pseudonym is Johnny Austerlitz
You can adjust this in the Artists.
At the Text Writers he is already listed with the Pseudonym, but only on the Dutch Side.
In the books it is also listed with the Pseudonym, but only on the Dutch side. His photo is also included, you can also transfer this photo to Music, Artists and Lyricists.
And you can also post this photo at Cover Design at Bill Smith Studio.

Normally it is good in all four languages.
Only if, as here, Hollestelle, Jacoba (Conny Vandenbos, Bos, Conny van den) is written, the System judges this as three Pseudonyms.
Would be better, Hollestelle, Jacoba (Conny Vandenbos; Conny van den Bos)
So the name is written one after the other and with a semicolon instead of just a comma.
Now just click on the name and go to the adjustment.
