Can someone move the items in Biscuit Box without Trim to the Cans and Cans collection area? It seems to me that this does not belong in the kitchenware section. For the time being it could be with the type of cookie jar .

However, I am in doubt about which type, because it can also be a kind of lunch box or a small lunch box.

In any case, item 721745 belongs in the Cans and Drums section.

For now we do not make any requests There are thousands of items that need to be transferred, and for the time being the focus is on cleaning up the other section, and on sections for which an active administrator is available.

"Kitchenware" is also one such section that is far too broad in scope, and will be tackled in its entirety in the future, disappearing in its current form.

Moreover, there has been talk about plastic items such as 1303209 can also be included in the cans, but nothing has been decided on yet Until a decision has been made, we will of course not transfer anything.
You can also follow the idea that only the tin canisters belong in this section, and then 721745 is also not covered.
So first there needs to be more clarity about this section, and only then will we see whether we are going to move things to it, or take things out of it.

Fine, then I know. It might be useful to mention this in a forum post in the general forum with an explanation of what you are doing.

Good that everything is cleaned up and revalued again. After the discussions about the stamps, the need has certainly grown to define everything more clearly? And when it is ready, will the collectors be kept informed?

In another forum post you also had the proposal to make storage boxes out of it. Then you have a lot of items and then you can indeed sort by material type and by box type (usually according to the content that goes in).

The problem with tins is that you often think about the material (tin) and that also includes tin posters or chocolate molds. I think storage boxes are too short, because you have very nice tins in certain shapes.

Among the tin collectors the classification is very clear and there too 721745 not bottom. If you want to get an idea of what collectors mean by cans, then you should go to the Collectors Fair in Utrecht next Friday the 19th or 20th. There is at least 1 booth there with a lot of cans.

And if you still need help with defining, I would also like to help. I'll hear it.

In any case, good luck!

Handy but not easy, because people are busy with many different things at the same time, which are also often subject to change before it is implemented.
Occasionally, for example, I have said something about the topic of rubrics.
What I said at the time about the operation of those theme sections is now all outdated, because the set-up is going to be different again.

Also, the point about the can heading is that we should not replace the current problem headings with new problem headings.
In the meantime we have become a little wiser and more careful through damage and shame.
That is why I want to think about it carefully before I transfer these types of items to the tin section.

Every time an item is transferred, there is a risk that something will go wrong, or even that information cannot be transferred properly, because the input fields differ per section.
And apart from that, it is always a hassle to compare the sections properly before you transfer anything.
So when we transfer something, it should basically be a permanent fix for that item as much as possible.
We don't want items to keep moving through the catalog like bouncing balls, because we want to move them somewhere else later anyway.

And if you still need help with defining, I would also like to help. I'll hear it.

There is a good chance that you will just be involved as soon as we get started with this.
