colama 

Perhaps a stamp moderator will know if this stamp is already in the catalogue somewhere or where else it should be added.

 We've been talking about this for over 10 years now. It is also the umpteenth time that someone cannot find the East African Community. That's because the stamps say something different. And that is not only the case in this country. Other countries are also untraceable. Does it take so much time to complete that country list? Simply add Kenya - Uganda - Tanganyika 3x (different order). That seems like a good start. Or turn it into a Wiki, then we'll all put our shoulders to the wheel.

az60 Kenya-Uganda-Tanganyika (East African Community) already exists as an alias.
Collectioneur since it has apparently been discussed before, the question is whether there is any objection to adding the other two orders as well?

A different order does not matter to the search engine.
If you search for Kenya , Uganda or Tanganyika , you will always get East African Community (Kenya-Uganda-Tanganyika) in the results.

However, Kenya and Uganda could be added as a name variant.
And possibly the misspelled "tanganyka", although it's hard to take all typos into account.

For the record. I'm concerned with the country list , which lacks aliases. The search for the stamp you hold in your hands often starts with that country list.

It is therefore missing from the English Countries list. (Link does not lead to the English version).

No problem in the NL version, that's what the search box is for:


Note: Too bad the country is recognized as Kenya , and the community as Kenya . It should be Kenya for both. Searching for Kenya does not find the 'Community'. If you search for Kenya (that's what it says on the stamps) you won't find the country. Due to linguistic puritan influences, ease of use is lost here. You don't need a paper catalog if you have LD. A prisma translation dictionary English-Dutch.

In the EN version, however, it is indeed a problem. There the aliases are not mentioned in the list:


Only 'East African Community':



If you click through, you will see the alias appear again (ie: is known):


Collectioneur
I think that is a bug in the country screen for the foreign language versions of LD .
Ditto in FR and DU.

In the A/Z lists in other languages, aliases are only shown if they have also been entered in that language by an administrator.

since this has apparently been discussed before, the question is whether there is any objection to adding the other two orders as well?
Administrators may also consider using the name "Kenya-Uganda-Tanganyika" and aliases:
NL = East African Community
EN = East African Community
DE = Ostafrikanische Gemeinschaft
FR = Community of Africa de l'Est

The boxes for the foreign language aliases were still virgin.

Administrators can use name variations to enter Kenya (or Kenya), Tangayka etc for the search engine.
Whether it should be Kenya or Kenya, you decide.

In the meantime I have also filled in the foreign language aliases of the South Moluccas (Maluku Selatan). Those boxes were also pristine. I assume if a NL alias is entered that the foreign language boxes have equal rights.
otherwise it is if no alias has been filled in yet. Using aliases everywhere may make the country list too busy (reducing ease of use).

What if I put 'Ken y a' in the NL box for alias at Ken i a, is that allowed?

I think you already did :-)
Again, these kinds of considerations are up to the administrators.

az60 thank you for checking out the other languages and Raoul62 for updating it so quickly.

For foreign country names I find it useful to stick to the list of the language union . I don't know if there are similar lists for other countries.

Good that you indicated that it was on the NL list. That allowed me to better define the problem :-) Of course I should have done that right away, but I assumed that the lists in the different languages were synchronized.
Raoul62
Thanks for the smooth adjustments. Nice work.
