I am very happy and also a bit proud that I added my 750th item to my collection today. And of all items I made my own scan of both the front and the back, what a job. ;-)

And now? On to the next 750 items.

Congratulations! I also try to have all my own items scanned first. Due to the amount and the short (available) time, I never manage to provide my entire collection with my own images.

You have now also achieved a goal, which I, partly because of this post, also am busy and that is to have more items than forum posts. I do my best and wish you a lot of fun collecting!

Beer?!

@ DisneyMeentwijc : Thank you! And yes, what a job, huh. But it is well worth it. You too have fun collecting and scanning success. ;-)

@ vvanasperen.

Congratulations on scanning part of your collection. I agree that it is a lot of work. And I can know. Did you know that I am offering 32,000 stamps and that ALL have been scanned! As a result, a potential buyer immediately knows which stamps he is buying.

Great work!

I am trying to do the same, with all the info entered in the catalog.

I have already reached 200 ... much work ...

@ JosefK

In addition to scanning, over time 8,000 items were entered and 5,000 improvements were made. I try to be an example of not talking but doing. The better the catalog becomes, the greater its success will be. Buying paper catalogs has become prohibitively expensive. Good luck with your work.

@ john-sealer : Thank you. And scanned 32,000 stamps, entered 8,000 items, and 5,000 improvements. If I had a hat, I would take it for you. I have to say that it always makes me happy when I can add a new item. :-)

@ JozefK : That is completely as it should be. I do that as much as possible for new items, but not (yet) always for existing items. I always check whether the images I have made are better than the existing ones. That then again. ;-)

Congratulations! On to the 400 and keep it that way. The more satisfied customers, the more word of mouth.

If I've seen it right, you're a 100% Lastdoer. So never been a Catawikier.
But hope the "rest" went well...

Yep, pure DoDo. The site where you can 'normally' create an account. What was not possible with CW. If something can be done via the 'internet', then no foreign devices (such as a mobile phone, for example) should be involved.
Thanks to the late Arco. He was convincing.
The 'rest' seems hard work, but as a collector you don't mind that much.

Thank you. The 'great' work in the stamp catalog applies equally to fellow administrators, and to a (fairly large) number of conscientious users. It is usually wonderful to be able (and allowed to) participate as a cog in that larger whole.
And the hope for another year is always there.

And I got that extra year.
Current milestone is now 3 years - 2 days :)
My other milestone today is background pages: 111

The most important thing, but (almost) no one can see it: the number of open reviews in the Stamp section has fallen by 5%.
That is, given the circumstances, more than remarkable. That is a milestone to be proud of. Not a personal milestone, but it does make you feel warm as a person.

For those who appreciate my oeuvre, I will write a nice piece related to that milestone. Are you slightly affected or sensitive in a certain area? Then skip the following text (can you smile or do you suffer from green?) :)
For others, it is my extra gift for my three-year milestone.

These 'circumstances' are, for example:
- the current 'Theme' approach led, leads and will lead to thousands of additional new open reviews (including the "[Do not use - please empty]" phenomenon);
- the new local catalog code field. Where some diligent workers (including Jummeke and Petvre) are now fishing out that catalog code from 'Specialties' to place it in that new field.
Unfortunately, Indonesia doesn't allow adding 'Sunflower XXX' in that field (it's for APPI). Some smart guy (*) had already started doing that.
And unfortunately in Suriname: after 1975 the field must also be left empty. It clearly says 'NVPH'. And you will never find those items in there.
Internationalization has its consequences.

To avoid any fuss, I will also repeat what I wrote last year:
The 'great' work in the stamp catalog also applies to the fellow administrators and to a (fairly large) number of conscientious users.
(*) Slimmerik is of course intended (slightly) ironically. West Flemish use 'smart' to indicate certain ingenuity. A shortcut, a loophole, a creative repurposing. Such as using an APPI catalog field to place 'Zonnebloem' catalog codes in it. Good find, yes. Unfortunately, that's not how it works (it's not meant to be that way).
Completely and closely agrees with my views on other fields being used for what they are not intended for.

In the style of the 'oops' animation (if there is an error on LD) there should also be an animation at each milestone. Pole... animation... Dodo... I can just imagine it lol

find it strange that the conversation has changed from milestones to stamps.
In the catalog it would immediately say: WRONG SECTION ;-) ;-) ;-)

Well, it was previously changed to 'nothing'.
Now there is 'something'. A personal milestone (3), enriched with a general milestone (5% decrease in open reviews in a section).

The extra, in italic, clearly states: Maybe you haven't read it.
Are you slightly affected or sensitive in a certain area? Then skip the following text

Thanks for the response anyway! So there is another message in this previously 'dead' thread.

There are (at least) two personal milestone threads.

Plenty of milestones, but there is only one, original, thread 'Personal milestone', from 2014.
Or do you have another LD search engine?
"1 topic and 9 responses for 'personal milestone' in the forum"

[edit]
what a hassle, the other one has 'poles' in the name. 'pole' is not included :)
