Hello,
I think the following items are duplicate:
CataWiki Number: 306483 and 412593 .
Or am I missing something?
As a user, can you remove duplicate items yourself?
Regards, Ralph

These also seem to be duplicate to me. I include them in my list of doubles.
As a user you cannot (as far as I know) adjust this yourself. Let us know here is a good solution, so we can remove 1 of them. So if you still come across one, please let us know!
Thanks in advance!

@Ralph
Catawiki's 'old' database has been replaced for some time by the Collect-A-ROM database, which is more complete and consistent, with often better scans. The stamps entered by users are now often duplicated, so it is urgent to "deduplicate". If you - or someone else - would like to take it on. You can then become an administrator and we give you a special right so that you can deduplicate. (and of course good instructions). Then mail me.

I'm not a stamp specialist (I searched on Sjors curiosa), but is there a difference between 250299 , 266445 and 555961 ?

240299 stamp with phosphorus, seal 266445 plain paper (also included, see also different NVPH number) 555961 is double but this is the quotation as a seal from a booklet. Until three years ago these stamps doubled in the NVPH catalog and thus had two numbers, while it was the same stamp. However, it does appear again in the Davo combination album, among others. Since 2 years these stamps have disappeared from the NVPH , the disadvantage is that you no longer have an overview per booklet. there are also people who try to look up the stamp based on an older NVPH catalog.
A technical solution must be found for them so that they can be part of the stamps as well as of the combinations / stamps from booklets. Will therefore be merged in due course.

Could be me, but I don't see any phosphorus at 250299 (and certainly not with Marilyn Monroe ;-)) Or is “with walkman” philatelic slang for “with phosphorus”?

P.S. Sorry if the explanation is very obvious to a collector, but as a layman I couldn't see any obvious difference in the descriptions (apart from the different NVPH numbers which I also didn't understand ), hence my question.

All Dutch stamps from 1977 have phosphorus as standard. The exception is therefore if a seal has no phosphorus. Therefore, 1923a reads "Plain paper".

Sorry… link doesn't work as intended.
It is therefore about the special flights stamp, which has been entered twice.

try it again.
pity that there is no preview possible.

Helasas, there are still a lot of double stamps in the stamp section and we are also looking for administrators who want to remove these double stamps. Please contact me if you want to help with this erik@catawiki.nl

The problem is also more in finding the stamp you are looking for. When I entered my collection I did not see / found certain stamps. So what do you do, make a scan and enter it. But luckily most of them came back to light during import. (and I stopped importing)
While you can hardly find them with the search function, which can be very annoying.
I must add money for other areas as well.

I'm not a stamp collector, but yesterday I found out by chance that the search function is indeed disastrous. I received a letter from England with a stamp of 60 pence (a stylized oak tree), which I wanted to look up, and it turned out that I could not select by face value in the stamp section. And the British stamps from the most recent years do not even have a scan. I don't want to accuse anyone, I know the column is under hard work but it did surprise me. Since English users are unlikely to be able to cope with the Dutch titles under “No photo yet”, the efforts made for an English-language version of Catawiki seem wasted in this respect.

If the title of the duplicates is changed to duplicate of…., I can clear them up. then choose the one with the most completed input fields.

The search function will certainly be improved, including searching by nominal value and catalog number. I can say two things about this particular example: a stamp that is on a recently received envelope is probably not yet on Catawiki. There are often several weeks between issue and delivery by the stamp trade, and then someone else has to add them to Catawiki.
In the second place, if it were in Catawiki, this seal could well be found under the "stylized trees". In all, in common, searching for a specific theme will be even more effective than nominal value.

Assume that the stamps Western Europe up to and including 2009 are present. Many stamps from the last 20 years also have a small year, which makes them easier to find. Incidentally, it is already now; searching on Catawiki easier than in a paper catalog….

I didn't really expect to find the stamp here, it is probably too new for that (I didn't find it with Google either). It was only to indicate why I - as a layman - ran into the limitations of the search function in the stamp section.

I see that the themes are already in English, but has any thought been given to the way in which the denominations of stamps could be translated? A kind of “double entry”? At the moment, even the overviews of British and American stamps do not seem very useful to English-speaking users. That is a shame, because I think there is a great potential of volunteers there who could alleviate the current workload of the administrators.

(Oops, it's very OT, I see now, sorry.)

Translating 160,000 names is indeed a huge job. In part of the database, however, the name is short and uniform, in preparation for a "search and replace" translation method. This is also the reason that the xxx anniversary and the year of birth and death have their own field. I therefore request importers of new items to follow the same line as much as possible. (Eg a series published on the occasion of Aubudon's 100th birthday with the image of birds is simply called "Birds", Aubudon is then in the personal register)
I also have part of Belgium in French and part of Scandinavia in Danish, Swedish and Finnish. Because of course we don't stop with English… (Everyone prefers to have their catalog in their own language…)
Anyone who wants to participate in the translation can of course register…
