Comic books/mistakes?611 messages

Chips fall where minced meat is used. Could this be the place where beauty flaws can be reported?
To start right away: there is an entrance StripNieuws with all magazines of that name and an entrance Strip Nieuws (note the space) with only number 0 of this magazine.
If there is another place where this can be reported, please let me know.

There are still plenty of errors in the catalog indeed. Series or authors that need to be merged because they are written slightly differently, names with a small mistake in them, empty staging areas to be cleaned up, items to be deleted etc.
The problem is that Marco and I are the only ones who can do this. Disconnecting the management functions from our entire admin system, for the benefit of the administrators, takes a bit more time than planned. We expect this to be possible early next week. Then many more people can get started with the cleaning.
A place where all substantive errors in the comic catalog are reported seems a good plan. Indeed, let's devote this topic to that.
By the way, the problem you mentioned has now been solved. I have moved the image and description from nr.0 in Strip Nieuws to StripNieuws. And Strip News then removed. Thanks for signaling!

Something anyone can do is cleaning up album series. Logical album series within a series is another weak point in the catalog. You can always change an album series to another name. Once you have given an album a new album series name, you can choose that name from the dropdown on the other albums by typing a part of the name. This way you make them uniform and I can remove any remaining “empty” album series.
For example, Jilles has created within Franka the “Main series sc” which immediately shows the normal softcover series. And Ruh has completely cleaned up the chaos with the album series within Agent 327 around publishers L and M in this way. Tribute!

It would help in cleaning if empty staging areas automatically disappear. Is this functionality coming?
Furthermore, can administrators also edit "bulk" names? Then you can easily rename the series of multiple albums.

I have to think about the first one. In itself a good idea, but if data such as pseudonyms are linked to a collection area, then we have lost it 2nd point: an administrator will soon be able to change that in 1 place. All album series as entered in albums will then automatically change. The database is set up completely dynamically in that regard.

Hi rene,
I have the impression that empty album ranges disappear immediately if they are empty.
Collection areas and misspelled names persist.

Yes? Why do you think? I think album series will no longer be visible with the series but they are still in the database.

Aan dat bevriezen dacht ik eigenlijk ook.
Voorbeeldje van hoe het niet moet.
Ter verduidelijking: catawikiër Deblouw besloot hier de bundeling “7 super strips” te zitten omtoveren naar “35 jaar jan, jans en de kinderen” zonder daarbij na te denken dus. Ondertussen heb ik de fout terug rechtgezet.
35 jaar Jan, Jans en de kinderen dateert niet uit 2006 en bevat o.a. niet de verhalen Lili Natal van suske en wiske en De veldtocht van De rode ridder.
Had er geen probleem mee gehad als het album helemaal correct was aangepast geweest.

I was actually thinking about freezing.
An example of what not to do.
To clarify: catalog maker Deblouw decided to sit here and transform the collection of “7 super comics” into “35 years of Jan, Jans and the children” without thinking about it. In the meantime I corrected the error.
35 years of Jan, Jans and the children does not date from 2006 and does not include the stories Lili Natal by Suske en wiske and De veldtocht by De rode knight.
Wouldn't have had a problem with it if the album had been completely corrected.

Yes, this is how you lose albums from your collection, or you get albums in your collection that you would not like to have for free ... (;-)

That's not so nice about Deblouw. However, I know Eelke as a precise and organized person. Maybe it was an experiment. Thanks for correcting anyway.
That's a good suggestion. That freeze. I had not yet seen that possibility. Then an administrator might be able to freeze an album if he is sure that all info is complete and correct.
Someone must be able to send a signal to administrators if he thinks that something needs to be changed about the frozen item.
And: the value should of course not be frozen because it can fluctuate over time.

I now see a film projector as an object with Eric de Noorman. Very beautiful, but it says 1940 as the year. That does not seem to me to be entirely correct because Eric only started after the war. Eric de Noorman's site indicates the late 1940s and early 1950s.

Maybe 1953 is a better option for the projector, this is mentioned on the eric site with the videos.
I see that laralava Natasja added booklets, which I think are already there,
Album series: natasja

Hmm, I don't understand what went wrong there, with those 7 superstrips. Indeed, there was not much (er, nothing) about my change. Sorry about that…
That freezing by administrators also seems like a good idea, with the possibility for users to post comments / a change suggestion ...

One kid has also reintroduced all the books of De Generaal. With covers, yes, but a waste of time and effort.

I happened to have spoken to Kid about the General on the Comic Strip Days (I had already seen it then).

I have set the year of the Eric projector to 1953 (thanks Jilles!). And put it on our to-do list that it should be migrated to curiosities.

@ arco / rene
I corrected the Kid entry: Smet, Peter de instead of Peter de Smet. They seem okay, you have to choose which one to take away.
The problem is, however, that one version is with some in the collection while others are logged in with the other version.

What I do in these cases is the most complete suits and if necessary supplement with info of the double item.
Then I mail Réné the ITEM NUMBERS who can go what the correct item number is.
If the books that can be disposed of are already in people's collection, they can be 'rebooked' to the correct album.

Nieuw ‘foutje’
Brabant Strip nr 109 komt twee keer in de lijst voor, waarvan 1 keer met voorkant 109 en 1 keer met voorkant 110. Beide 109’s zijn zowel door Alkyoto en Kamiel in hun verzameling toegevoegd.

New 'mistake'
Brabant Strip nr 109 appears in the list twice, of which 1 time with front 109 and 1 time with front 110. Both 109's have been added to their collections by both Alkyoto and Kamiel.

Incidentally, also applies to Brabant Strip Magazine 140. This one has also been included in the list twice and added both times by alkyoto and amiel.

The error with BSM 109 and 149 is due to the bulk entry.
Mvg Kamiel

I just wanted to mention that it is
1) not "advertising expenditure", but "advertising expenditure". (See: here )
And
2) the description of a comic once contains the headings
“No. in album series: ”and
“ No addition: ”
So just like to be consistent
“No. in album series: ”and
“ No. addition: ”
(with period)
or
“No in album series:” and
“No addition:”
(without period)

1) is not "advertising expenditure", but "advertising expenditure". (See: here)
I had noticed that too, but since dozens of “advertising expenses” had already been entered, I have only implemented that consistently with the few that I have adjusted :-) But Rene can probably adjust that in bulk?
