Hello,

With the input or adjustments of images I come across a number of entries that I cannot correct myself. These are entries that are actually the same, but differ from each other because of the use of a capital/lower case letter.

As an example in sequences:
Blake and Mortimer (correct, capital M )
Blake and mortimer (incorrect, lowercase m)

I have tried to change this on a number of images, but even if I choose Blake and Mortimer from the drop-down list, this field is not updated when saving the changes.

There is also the name Sheik Abdel razek (with a small r in razek instead of R azek). There is no 'double version' of this. My mutation in which I change the letter r to R is not accepted by the database and continues to show razek.

Can one of the admins change this (metalfigures or

PS In passing I saw at least 1 more, but apparently I didn't write it down. Will probably come across it again and report it here. Presumably there are more such cases.

Hmm, can only one user be tagged per post?
I also included Ted in my previous post.

You can tag multiple people in a post, just click on them metalfigures Ted
Blake and Mortimer are now merged with the correct spelling.
The sheik also has his correct name.

Thanks, I see. I'll report back here if I need your help.

Collectioneur I think I did and at first thought it was because the name Ted was too short. I think this is an issue on other forums.
Anyway, good to know that it is possible; will monitor it next time.

Next is a bit more complex... series 'Avengers'. There are 4 of them but they are all basically the same... referring to the superhero Avengers team.

1) Avengers with 15 items
2) Avengers [Marvel] with 6 items
3) Marvel Avengers with 71 items
4) The avengers with 1 item

I tend to find group 2 the most correct, once I understand the logic of LD a bit.
But I don't feel like manually converting 71 items from group 3 to 2, so I actually hope that this is possible in some 'bulk way' (and then I hope that groups 1 and 4 can also be included immediately ).

ndeeka Ted
Group 2 seems to be the best indeed.
But then it is by the rules of LD: Avengers, The [Marvel].
Articles always come after the noun or name.
Just type 'the' or 'het' as a search query and you will understand why...

Found it again :-)

Themes
Science fiction (a c is missing) please merge with the correct Science fiction .
Merging Spider-Man with Comics: Spider-Man


Sport: Athletics (colon immediately after sport - with no space in between)

=> same for Sport : Bobsleigh


Sports: basketball (capital B). Also... ball and not ball?

Other equal cases with missing capital in the following sports:
- relay running (isn't this also the same as relay race?);
- golf;
- shot put;
- rowing; and
- to walk

With specific comic themes I see Toosje Tontel and Toosje Tontel (Ganzetrientje) , I think that these two can also be combined, but which one is best I leave to an administrator to decide.


Replacing article 'de' with:
Comics: The Flinstones (also Flin t stones)
(I selected this straight from the list, copied and pasted it; hopefully the links work).


Copyright Holders
Paramount pictures also likes a capital P for Pictures .

ndeeka 'run relay'
That's not the same
This means running a certain distance with a number of runners
So the 4 x 100 or the 4 x 400 m. But most people know that. And those are Olympic disciplines.
So to the administrators: better adapt to 4 x 100 m and 4 x 400 m.
So the difference is obvious, isn't it?
100 m versus 4 x 100 m relay?
400 m versus 4 x 400 m relay?

metalfigures looks good; only shot put is still with small k.

buizer distinction in relay was not known to me and certainly seems useful in a sports section. But with figurines with only objects that have nothing to do with real life, I personally think it goes a bit far. And in both cases they run fast I think.
If that distinction is so important, then gymnastics / gymnastics can also be split, because horizontal bar is not the same as bar or rings. The 2 relay disciplines are then closer to each other, I think.

Of course I accept the decision of the management team. I won't be needing these entries any time soon, so I won't be spoiled for choice. It's that it caught my eye and that's why I brought it to your attention.

Regards, Nico.

Incidentally, I just noticed Sport: Cycling versus Sport: Cycling.

In sport: cycling I see 2 objects that look better in sport: cycling. The other objects may be bicycles, but I don't associate them as such with Sport. They can then better go to the normal bicycle theme. Can I also adjust myself, there are not that many.
The cycling theme also exists, but only contains 1 object that fits perfectly in sports: cycling and I have already changed that.

ndeeka But actually you now indicate the usefulness yourself. Sport is such a large section that it is better to break it down.' Or do you just leave those 1415 football items under Sport?
And collectors still want to know what the statue represents.
Smurfette in sports equipment is then the theme of sports. But why does she have a stick in her hand?
Well, that answer is in theme for the non-connoisseurs of sports.
And then I'm not even talking about animals.
Everything under the heading of animals? So mammals, birds, fish, insects, reptiles, ...
It is sometimes a trade-off. Sometimes it's less useful, other times a lot.
Little use in one category, a lot in another.
Eg Sports: football or Animals: Elephants.
And with Comics, it's certainly interesting. Not to mention the Other section.
Many collectors see that the item has to do with comics, but cannot identify it.
And that's where comic book enthusiasts can come to the rescue of lesser connoisseurs.
And often it is also a matter of 'targeted' searching.
Type 'smurfette sport' and you will immediately find our relay runner. ... because you work with 2 keywords...
across all categories...

buizer I'm not saying sports shouldn't be subdivided. On the contrary, this can be very useful and provides a great deal of clarity. Same for animals.

But to make a distinction between relay 4x100 and 4x400 meters I personally do not see as a practical advantage. But if there is, then it seems to me that gymnastics / gymnastics is also too generic.
Search term 'smurfette sport' should also be found with only 1 group regarding 'Sport: Estafette'.

Again, I won't be needing the group sport, regardless of discipline, any time soon. But when I see subdivisions like this, I automatically start looking (searching) for consistency, such as capitalization. And with that, this (in my eyes) strange distinction also caught my eye.

But I understand that it is (can be) very difficult to close everything. There is always a certain degree of nuance and for one user it is more important than the other. That's why I also brought it up instead of adjusting it directly to my own insight / logic.


In the animal theme I also quickly see a few small letters instead of capital letters (turkey, mammoth, owls, aye-aye, ...) and 'Animals : Chicks' has an unnecessary space.
Animals "Mui" and "ap" seem to me to be typos for Mice and Monkeys.

These 2 are merged.
But there are still 2 brands with Eaglemoss in the list. Are these different companies or do they all belong to the same group?

ndeeka buizer
If you are going to group themes, make sure you do this correctly. For example, there is now a theme: Fish: Dolphins, while a dolphin is not a fish, but a mammal. Also applies to a whale.

There have been discussions about themes before and as long as we don't have a structural set-up with levels, there will be bickering. That's not a bad thing, keep everyone on their toes.
Instead of putting the grouping in a name, my preference is not to do this, but just add multiple themes.
So no: Animals: Lions as theme, but Animals + Lions + possibly Predators. No doubt there will be other opinions on this :-)
