Car Brands

This field is meant for the Car-Make of your model.

Simple ... Ford is Ford and Harley-Davidson is Harley-Davidson.

Is there no brand on it? Or is it, for example, a fantasy car?

Enter 'Unknown'.

Then they are in any case also under 1 denominator. and not krissrass mixed up (and therefore less easy to find in searches) if you do not fill in anything.

The 'Unknown' brand is regularly checked and cleaned as well as possible

Will it be possible to add more than one car brand?

I have come across several 'sets' consisting of different makes of cars. That is why I would like to see it split into separate brands instead of the way it is now. See example catalog number 905837 and catalog number 893981. Here several car brands have been merged into one.--edit, message moved on 26-10-2012

I recently saw that a car brand 'Various ' has been created. Are all multi-car brand sets intended to go in there?

see 1595487 and 1594147 and 1579789

Are you sure sets are allowed with model cars? Individual cars should be able to be grouped in a series field, so that you can also see related items together. But that serial field is still missing.

I recommend that you only allow sets if it can be proven by means of packaging that they were sold together. Otherwise not. That is the starting point almost throughout Catawiki.

'Various' was undoubtedly entered by an English-speaking user and is not a term that we use on the Dutch side of Catawiki. There we use for example 'Miscellaneous', if we want to use it. An administrator can arrange this for you in multilingual in the database.

I think sets have been present as a species for a while, see dinky action set and I recently sent a request to create the species 'Matchbox Giftsets'

I've been hoping for that series field for a long time too. That would indeed be able to group the items even better and more clearly. And let's face it... the varieties are full of series. Split that trade!

Various... Hmmm rather not, and no Miscellaneous either.

I much prefer the option to link multiple car brands to 1 item, which creates a cleaner database, mind you, I'm talking about the Car brand field, I don't mean the curiosa link.

Yes, but there is a packaging shown as proof. That is indeed permitted in several sections. And that's how it should be, in my opinion. This prevents, for example, that someone has a set of 5 cars that he thinks is complete. He then enters them as a set without packaging. I have the same set, but in my case it consists of six cars (the other user did not know that the 6th one existed) and I have to enter that set again as a new set? You can't just change a set of 5 into a set of 6, because then, according to Catawiki, users will suddenly have something in their collection that they don't actually have. By always using the packaging as proof, you prevent this pollution and you are more reliable.

Thank you for the explanation, it is now clear to me.

Can I cautiously conclude from your previous post that rules already exist?

The rules that apply almost Catawiki-wide about spelling, sets and a few more things are so far undescribed, but we want to do something about that this year, so that it all becomes a bit more transparent, and broadly speaking, no islands are created with completely different mores.

The rules that apply pretty much to Catawiki-wide about spelling, sets and a few more things are so far unwritten, but we want to do something about that this year, so that it all becomes a bit more transparent , and broadly speaking there are no islands with completely different mores.

I would like to hear that. First thing I heard about that.

We are of course going to discuss that openly, aren't we? Or will it be a closed Mokum council?

Sleep tight and take all Northern Belgians with you in your fantasies :)

I'm talking about fundamental decisions about Catawi that are apparently made without consulting administrators

@oki-doki: Just trimmed your example ( dinky action set ) and was wondering if they don't also belong to the Dinkey Die Cast series? There is even a catalog of that series and I think you only have those Dinky Toys and not those from another series.

I don't see the term Dinky Action set anywhere on the box, or am I overlooking something?

It is also very striking that that item suddenly changes format from version 4 in the changes. Was it not properly measured or were we talking about a different version and should it also be included in CataWiki? Furthermore, he first came from England and then suddenly from Hong Kong!??

And last but not least: Is that set really worth 500 euros and then still in the condition that is offered?

If you want democracy, go to China, Jos.

That is clear and well-founded answer.

But if Mokum / China F * ck you say then administrators and users can also say F * ck to you or am I mistaken?
