When entering a new item, the exact title of the box must be used. It is not the intention to make up your own title.

Unfortunately, there is sometimes no name on the box. The title field is a mandatory field. What to do?

I use the term 'untitled' myself. I also see that a title is invented or interpreted on the basis of the image, which does justice to the puzzle shown.

Sometimes this can be done with some searching work. . See

Sometimes that is not easy. See

What is a good solution?

The same dilemma occurs with Pins.

I would prefer to use a descriptive title between [square brackets] for textless items, as is done with Comics, for example, but that would (in my section) dominate the beginning of alphabetical sorting too much. So I opted for a "made up" title that describes the image, without brackets.

I don't know how many "untitled" puzzles there are, but I would also suggest a short descriptive title. So in your examples something like this:

Honfleur Quay (Normandy)

Steam train on American station

There is only one title field available in this section (for Pins there are 4, for Dutch, English, French and German), so try to formulate the description as internationally as possible .

If the number remains limited, you can choose to put it between square brackets. The section does not have an administrator, so perhaps Arco should let him know what his preference is.

What you describe is the most useful. All 'untitled' is not very practical, certainly not for non-native speakers.

Stripspeldjes and Arco thanks for thinking along. According to the search bar, the number of items within Catawiki with the title 'untitled' is fortunately very limited. I will still provide my own items with the best possible title.

I will leave correction of other Catawiki items as is.
