I accidentally entered a duplicate:
My copy:
#9825317
And the existing:
#8566041

Be careful when deduplication. I have included a picture of the back and I have put the year of the railcar in brackets in the title, as with the other cards in the series.

Can someone deduplicate this?

You just change the title to 'Duplicate of 8566041'.
The administrator(s) will then do the necessary.
No need to report this on the forum.

perhaps forgotten.
Personally I would keep the newest and throw away the oldest. After all, the back of the newest has been neatly scanned and uploaded. Should always be done with postcards ... often contains a wealth of data (that can provide information).

When dealing with duplicates, you should always keep the best entered item. This is often the newest, but sometimes also the oldest.
Always act according to the facts. I don't see a new rule in it.

With stamps the custom is: the oldest remains, the newer is duplicated.
You could make a game of it: 'replace' other people's input with new input (that seems slightly better). Then you charge the administrators to merge it.
In addition, a 'duplicate' is either the result of not searching well (enough) ... or it can be due to the incompleteness of the 'old' item. Then that old item needs to be updated. And not 'replaced' by a newer (duplicate) addition.
That is why the title of the stamps in the newest item is replaced by 'DOUBLURE of nnnnn' (nnnnn the LD number of the newer one, the duplicate).
The super administrator who then does all the work of removing (merging) the duplicates (there is only one who has been doing all that work in the stamp section for years) can then still decide to keep the newest one (if the oldest item contains too little or incorrect data (or an image that gives you a splitting headache).

With Postcards it is different? There the user can decide for himself in which item he changes the title to 'DOUBLURE of nnnnn'?

Raoul62 I assume that nobody enters a Duplicate on purpose, but when choosing to "deduplicate" I will assume to keep the best entry and that can go both ways. I will also see if I can add the missing information. In the beginning of LastDodo/Catawiki we assumed to keep the oldest, but back then the entry rules were not as strict as they are now.

Raoul62 That's right, but the user should not be able to decide which input we remove.
(It would actually be a bit more helpful if 'DOUBLURE of nnnnn' was placed before the title)

[Edit]
I fully agree with Jilles' response. In stamps, keeping the oldest one is less of a problem than in many other collecting areas. (Usually?) only one image is needed and any information in Special Features can be easily copied.
But with Records/CDs for example, the tracks are not mentioned with many older items and often are with new ones. It is a lot of work to copy those tracks. Then it makes much more sense to keep the most complete ones.
