Dear collectors,

I recently started as the new manager for world banknotes.
Blanche-de-Nevers has now also taken up the role of manager, specializing in paper money and securities of German origin.
Together with super manager Pokie we will work on the reorganization of the banknotes section.

Duplications
One of the biggest annoyances of users, as expressed earlier on this forum (duplicates), we immediately picked up.
We are proud to announce that by the end of this week all duplicates with the word "double" will be incorporated in the title.
There is no need to message administrators about new duplications you discover in the future. We will review this once a month.
If you find a duplicated article, change the title of the most recent article (hence the highest catalog number) to:
DOUBLE of >catalogue number of the article with the oldest entry date<

Nominal values
We will of course continue to work on improving the catalogue. We would like to draw your attention to the "Nominal values" which we are currently correcting.
If you enter a new banknote, the nominal value must be entered: Name, quantity.
If you start typing "Maloti" you will immediately see all the possibilities.
So some good input examples are: Maloti 10, Maloti 20, Maloti 100 etc.
Incorrect input is: 10 Maloti, 20 Maloti, 100 Maloti etc.
As soon as all incorrect entries have been removed, the table 'nominal values' will be blocked so that only correct entries can be selected by users.
Within the category Germany there is also a difference between Mark, Rentenmark and Reichsmark. Please take this into account when importing.

Use of images with articles
It is the intention to use only your own images (either photos or scans) for catawiki articles. With some regularity we see imports with images that have been picked from Ebay, for example, and are therefore subject to copyrights of others.
Naturally, the importer will be held fully liable for the (possible) consequences of copyright violations.
As already announced by Pokie elsewhere on this forum , such created articles will be rejected by administrators, stating the reason. Creating articles with 'ripped' images cannot be seen as a useful contribution to the catalog.

Thanks in advance and lots of (collecting) fun in this section!

Sincerely,

VlietSchiedam

I hope you don't do all that manually. The Super Administrator can merge that wrong currency with the correct formats much faster.

Thank you for your concern. We are aware of that functionality.

There will be more to be done before the table is ready than the pair of wrong currencies you are referring to.
