I had already offered to add duplication in the title, but I read earlier that that no longer seemed necessary. Still do it then?

By the way, for example, in the issue group, #6293527 , many stamps with a so-called tab. Register immediately as a duplicate?.

Please first deal with the action regarding the combination FDCs, then I can continue with that.

I think it has been agreed that when the FDC series is introduced, if several FDCs are introduced, they can be registered as a duplicate. Now we're dealing with an avid collector, portbetaald , so the whole thing is getting a bit confusing. But we do our best.

By the way, for example, in the issue group, #6293527 , there are many stamps with a so-called tab. Also register immediately as a duplicate?.

portbetaald First we need to change all the titles. “Enough time” is indeed subjective, but if you regularly search for DOUBLURE in your collection or shop, you can already feel the mood, even without a message.

The only real solution comes from owners and sellers taking action themselves. No merge action will end ideally.

That's right. The message to the relevant shops/collectors explains how the transaction takes place and what action they must take themselves.
The responses to the email regarding the first number are positive. I hope I can email the rest (list of portbetaald) soon as well.

[Edit] Small sample of the mentioned list, unfortunately the title of none of the items has been changed yet. So that will cause some delay.

The sellers also included suppliers who had the combination item in a different combination. The only real solution comes from owners and sellers taking action themselves. No merge action will end ideally.
I think the most important thing for me as an owner or seller would be that I have enough time and if I were unable to take action for the merger myself, that I still have enough in my hands to know what it is about.
“Enough time” is subjective. Retirees potentially have more time on their hands than working people, for example. “Enough in hand” for me would be the list of “which item becomes which other items”. But yes... there are quite a few and it is never fun.

nlae Doesn't seem possible to me.
Collectioneur I don't understand yet what you are planning, but if you merge the composite item with the first item you risk personal photos or personal comments from the second item in the first item, and a much too expensive total price in the shop.
Merge with the “garbage bin duplicate”?

I would not adapt the existing item to one FDC, that would be a conversion.
The individual FDCs are there (great work!) and can be used.

It is now too late for what I suggested anyway as everything has already been re-entered - Using that method has the advantage that everyone is stuck with the original item - Pointing out to people that the item has been split and that action needs to be taken - They either they do it or they don't do it - There is no need to put a deadline on it.

This is about splitting and not merging.

Is known.

Let's agree that you (administrators) will take care of adjusting the titles in DOUBLURE of ..... + .......
Please check those numbers carefully.
I will then take care of reporting to the users involved, who, as portbetaald already indicated, are usually the same people.
That message also contains the date of April 30.
Then it is a matter of merging it with the first mentioned item.

Now marking everything as 'DOUBLURE' may be nice for users, then the chance that new ones will join is smaller (title stands out).

From a practical point of view, I would (in small groups) only change that title if you have sent the users (only a super administrator can) a message with a deadline. This way you can continue to monitor it a bit.
This way, other administrators and users can follow along.
Otherwise, you have to keep track of the numbers of those from which the messages were sent yourself (in Excel, for example). Which is clear to yourself, but is more work. In addition, other administrators or users have no insight into it.
Perhaps the deadline could be included in the title... 'DUPLICATION of 10309331 + 10309333 (disappears after 04/30/2024)'?

Once the deadline has passed: clean up and review. Merging duplicates with the 1st item would indeed result in less loss for users who were unable to take timely action. anyone who offers both at a price will not be shocked if someone buys one of them.
Anyone who has not updated their collection in time can quickly rectify that problem via the Publishing Group, even if the combination item has been cleaned up in the meantime.

Then the next group.
If I had to do it, I wouldn't do too many at once. There is a good chance that there will be comments (messages) about it, and they all deserve an answer.
It is painful, sometimes after 10 years, but after that it makes the Stamp Section fully compliant (with the basic agreements) for the FDCs aspect.
The message can also allude to the fact that other such combination items will follow, until everything is neatly cleaned up.
That could be an incentive for affected users to anticipate subsequent messages. Those who like to receive the messages should not anticipate.

I would not adapt the existing item to one FDC, that would be a conversion.
The individual FDCs are there (great work!) and can be used.

By combining 2 items, all collectors and shops are stuck with it.
They then only have to link to the second item, which has already been entered in the catalog.

Collectioneur portbetaald Isn't it better to adjust the scan in the existing item to 1 Fdc and enter the 2nd Fdc new, so everyone will remain stuck with the existing item.

OK, but the title of those items has not yet been adjusted with DOUBLURE of ......... + ..........
It would be nice if administrators would take care of that.
Then I will take care of the division afterwards.

If it helps, I can mark duplicate items tonight. The collectors and sellers of these items are often the same. I think they will like to do all the turnover work together.

Collectioneur Yes and this one too. I had marked the first set FDC/Series but that was removed again so I didn't do anything else after that. Now they can only be found with Netherlands + publisher NVPH + from 1998 and then look page by page at images with double envelopes:

#260205

portbetaald
Thank you for entering these FDCs separately.
Just to check, these are the "old" items:
#551381
#551441

The shops and collectors linked to these items have now received a message from me that these items are being split. The message (Dutch/English) also states how this will proceed and what action they must take themselves.
Indicated that the split will be carried out no later than April 30, 2024.

Jummeke No one needs to do anything about these items other than check the LD numbers. Please report here if something is wrong.

I think I have now flanked all NL fdc series with the individual items and moved "myself" to owner of these individual items. Now for the other 100+ stores.

I will do the city mail at another time soon

Thank you for the information, I now understand that there is no room for this stamp among the stamps :-)

Yours is not listed yet...
I had already looked at tax stamps under Nicaragua, but they were indeed not among them.
Tomorrow I will add them, but now I won't be able to do that anymore.

Sure... most of the city mail is mine and almost none of it has ever been viewed/reviewed by administrators. I will also go through that critically myself. Because I had to enter several thousand myself, you sometimes get sloppy along the way.
