Just one more time...

In my right mind, I can't believe that some users, even after years of being on the site, still don't understand how the sorting system works.

And then I'm not even talking about the newbies who are simply too lazy to check how it works, just fill in something and make a huge mess of it. Which, among other things, results in a lot of items that are already present in the catalog. The so-called 'DOUBLURE'.

The management of the Modelcars takes hundreds of hours of extra time in this way.

For example, the scale indication. I did some homework...

France

https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deux-points

The Netherlands

https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dubbelepunt

England/UK

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colon_(punctuation)

!! When entering the scale ALWAYS use a colon !!

example:

Scale 1:43

NEVER use letters (a,b,c.) will always be rejected.

Inches are measurements, and have nothing to do with the scale designation, are always rejected. (Disapproved 400+ items that were scaled to 3inch and 6inch.)

PS the title of this post is with a wink.

PS2 please translate this text into French language as soon as possible.

I also see it in another section. An importer with '6000+' items entered, just copy item and image and you're done. Such a shame, but no more control due to the lack of administrators.

Hey,

I see that there are finally some comments in this area. I also dare to admit that sometimes things went wrong for me. I always try the car brand first, then the model brand and then I check the scale. I think if you first enter the car make and then the model make, the possibility of duplication is smaller. If you then enter, you will notice through the suggestions that a car is already in the catalog.

Whatever I notice is a car is photographed beyond recognition (from above). This of course makes it difficult to recognize a duplication. I learned from a fellow collector to always first take a front view, then the chassis and then finally a general photo of a car. As for the figures and soldiers, I have fewer problems with that, because figures are often supplied with cars, army trucks, gas stations, etc.With Matchbox and Dinky- and Corgitoys, these figures are included or bought separately on all scales. Garages, motorways and road constructions from Matchbox, Corgi or Dinky simply belong here.

Please note that this is not a blame to our colleagues, but we have to agree somewhere as collectors.

Nice collecting urge huh !!

the Puppets, Statues and Action Figures types have also been cleared and deleted. These do not belong in the Model car section.

DOUBLURES created as type.

I have made it to work quickly. Not quite the usual way, but it has many advantages. In a week's time added 220+ duplicates to this new variety. Many are added every day.

6786935 Is there 2 times. I don't know if I should mention that here?

But it's annoying to see the same car twice in between.

!: Title change to: duplicate of ..... (and fill in the Catawiki number of the right one), but also please cooperate to fill in all the information with the correct one.

2: report here, but also report the number of the duplicate, otherwise it is difficult to search.

Dear Modelcar enthusiasts,

I do not know / do not understand what a total mess and chaos it is currently in the various Model Cars departments, such as Dinky Toys and Matchbox.

Mi Unfortunately, this is caused by one of the administrators himself, Okidoki.

Yes, I know, it is all voluntary work but it is better not to make contributions like this.

If you take a look at the models and (especially those in the later pages) they are full of errors, shortcomings and inaccuracies all made / introduced by this administrator O.

I'm sorry to say that but if nobody I will.

A catalog should be a reference work, accessible to everyone and without errors.

Ex.

Eg. removing dolls. figurines.? at Dinky Toyss.?

Dinky Toys has released many series of dolls and figures under various different names for years, started with 1Modeled Miniatures` such as Station and Hotel staff or Passengers, those are figures / statuettes or what then.

All are essential parts of Dinky Toys and in my opinion should also be found there in that

Dinky Toys part of the Cataw Catalog

with the correct names and the correct number code provided by Dinky Toys,

so that a Russian, Japanese or Brazilian can also find them.

Fortunately they are still there so I hope this fad has passed again.

Happened here, in this model catalog actually something in consultation with other serious enthusiasts, or can such an administrator just mess around?

Since this is an open forum, I assume that this comment will remain as normal

and devoid of useless comments.

I am only concerned with a positively the content of the Cataw. catlogus and get rid of the many mistakes of useless contributors.

I look forward to the reactions with interest.

Please only serious reactions from real enthusiasts and not trampled on their toes busybodies.

W.Janssens = Plumifrons - enthusiast / collector model cars for over 30 years

PS; one more request to all those contributors of new material;

please always try. !! place a photo of the base plate (as photo no.2) of your model car

, so that other enthusiasts can also use it if necessary.

Obviously there is a serious response to complaints from enthusiastic collectors, although I do allow myself some sideways remarks. (You entered 0 cars, 0 in your collection, 2 in your shop.)

Actually, your posting violates our rules, because we play the ball here, not the man. You also hijack the topic of an administrator. Fie. So I should have just deleted this message. I didn't do that because everyone understands who it is anyway, as we only have one very active administrator for this section.

By the way, I see that you are in Spain. Coincidentally, I recently got in touch with another user living in Spain who was going to collect people who were going to put the administrator in a bad light. Of course that must also be a coincidence, but then I think: too nice not to report.

Until two years ago, the section was managed very well. After the departure of the manager, the quality has gone downhill considerably. When he returned a few months ago, things quickly went crescendo and many items have been neatly corrected and grouped. Were mistakes made? Probably, because all users and administrators make mistakes.

As for the dolls: Catawiki does not list the brands together, but the objects. Dolls have their own section and can each be linked to the make of the Model Cars. As a result, they can be seen together as related items. All figures will therefore be moved over time.

The title of an item is usually taken from the bottom plate and the number is from commonly used international catalogs, where available.

Perhaps also good to know: management of Dinky Toys has not yet started.

Now that's a quick response!

van... 'I say what I think and do what I can' motto manager Catawiki Arco

which we indeed expected from you here in Spain, with a few dozen other collectors here on the South coast of Spain and Portugal and enthusiastic Catawiki users, both auction and catalogue.

Also exactly the tone you set here.

First, trying to put me in person as an insignificant Catawiki user, because I wouldn't have any input.

Input or not is irrelevant here. This is an opportunity given by the Catawiki Platform for an open forum for anyone who can and wants to use it, provided of course that the standards of decency are adhered to.

The first Foei to you, lord of O., is appropriate here

Yes, of course we as collectors, both serious and novices, have a lot of good contact with each other here, fortunately because then we at least hear and see something in and about our collections.

A major contribution to this pleasant and useful contact about Model-car information has been made by Mrs. van Roij = Basiliscus

However, when I read your correspondence with her, which she has made available to us, I see that you have (tried.?) silenced her, and we will not pass that over here.

And there is a rightly a second Foei.!, but again to you as a Catawiki representative.

In addition, another factual inaccuracy indicated by you in your email about this administrator O.

At the end of 2015, I read and see the various emails sent by this manager O., including to mrs. van Roij, but also other Catawiki Catalog users at the time, who can be qualified as very offensive, rude and indecent. As you yourself observed at the time, witness an e-mail message from that period from you addressed to mrs. van Roij, with your apologies and in response to those e-mail messages from that administrator Oh, you, lord van Os, then refrained from further cooperation from this administrator.

Therefore your claim is; 'Those people gathered to put the manager in a bad light' completely incorrect. He had already done that himself.

Gathering of those people.?,

Yes, but really to protest against so much nonsense mentioned by you above, nb as the official Catawiki representative

and yes, certainly collecting from a group of enthusiasts who have no fear of you as a Catawiki representative, but who simply protest against such a completely incompetent Modelcar manager, who has continuously made a large number of annoying mistakes and is now making them again.

And that, this large amount of errors, that is the only reason to make at least a sound of displeasure against it.

Or did you suddenly forget all that? It is simply factually incorrect here what you say in your message and therefore another Shame here. to you.!

Am I hijacking an admin's topic?

What kind of nonsense is that again? Precisely that is now playing the man and not the subject where this is discussed.

Figures own section and are moved;

In the past, yes we are all from the past, in the past people recognized the quality of a Library - Dictionary - Catalog by its content.

The current Catawiki Catalog is currently an important international component of, among other things, the Catawiki advertisement negotiations with the various financiers and advertisers.

Should such nonsensical changes actually take place, coupled with that far-reaching carelessness in introducing new items, this will only be at the expense of the content and quality of this Catawiki catalogue.

Whether the higher Catawiki echelon makes it this far, we will see again in the coming period. It is really not just for you and this ignorant and unqualified administrator to judge what and how to organize or use such a Catalog.

and then again.....

Moreover, that threat at the end of your message....

Your Quote; `Perhaps also not yet started.` End your Quote

What kind of inappropriate threat is that?

are you aware that more than 80% of all original photos used by Dinky Toys and with pleasure made available by her, come from her own collection.? (as well as Corgi Toys & Matchbox)

what a shame that you, as a Catawiki representative, are trying to set a tone here in an inappropriate manner.

We close with approval and best regards to all true model car enthusiasts and collectors, on behalf of

Piet and Ronnie Rootzelaar,

Wim & Ellen Janssens,

Patrick Ruiz,

All Catawiki from Southern Spain - Portuguese Border

Andy Hoffman , Harry Otts and Petra & Geoffrey M.

Very good comment - all true!!

You just roll over each other. I never dismissed the administrator; he left himself at the time. Glad he's back to clean up. He does that wonderfully.

My last comment was not a threat, but an alert. If Dinky Toys is a rubbish bin, then that could be right, because we haven't got around to that yet.

I request that you adhere to the input rules, so no dolls between the cars, please.

In response to Arco's announcement;

I am sorry but I never said that You dismissed that Administrator.

I only indicated to you in 2015 that he , this administrator, me and several others with very foul language, for which you apologized after reading those various emails from that administrator.

You agreed with us and then took measures where this administrator has stopped cooperating with it.

So there is no question of the term `Sent away` mentioned by you.

Again a wrong representation of how it really happened and that is not correct and correct, in fact a Catawiki representative unworthy behavior ..

but .... will I still get an answer to my question?

What happened to my contribution new company Morestone and model no.15 de Austin
