Of the latest editions of De Bezige Bij (with the blue back), it is stated in the details field that this has given the stories their final form. However, the "final form" the Bearer authorized in the Panda releases does not appear to be the basis for this release. In other words, is this comment correct or is it too easily taken from the publisher's commercials?

Moreover, publishing house M is called Muelenhoff. And not M.
And I think L is Lutingh?

The books are listed under series: M-L issues.
Isn't it better to keep the series separate, so Series M, and series L?
This series concerns a small series of books, but with Agent 327 there was already confusion and this had to be corrected.
For uniformity it seems to me better to name the series separately.
What is your opinion on this?

Hi Rene,
Are you still planning to implement that option?
In any case, I would like to go through the music department and then want to separate the LPs from the CDs and perhaps DVDs into the so-called "series".

But how do you think what is best to do with the Tolkien books?
Your comments please.

It seems terribly complicated to me to also know from which country an album has been released. I myself have no knowledge of that at all.
But if something like that does appear in Catawiki, I am in favor of completeness, so to be able to import all countries. So don't skip Belgium and the Netherlands.
I just don't really understand the need to use this data.

If a genre has to be mentioned, How can you make this uniform? Sometimes someone says, this is a thriller, but a thriller can also look like horror. Or do you say adventure? With or without humor? Detective?
I think opinions may be divided, in which genre you classify a book.
Or will that be better than expected?

The catalog contains an item under this title, being the annual report of the Scheepvaart Vereniging Noord Amsterdam, published in 1991. An edition from 1972 by the same publisher intended to interest young people in the profession was missing and was recently added by me . With the same title, by the way. I suspect that it is only 1 edition, the 1972 edition and that the 1991 edition is based on a misunderstanding. Who has the answer?

Arco, we only automatically approved items where you were the last person to change. So not if someone else had done something to the item afterwards. By the way, you can just review it. It's more about not reviewing yourself right away when you've entered a new item yourself, because that doesn't add anything, of course.

I have indeed done it several times, but mainly because Marco had said that everything from the administrators would be "clean" and that it turned out not to be the case.
I must have misunderstood.
What will continue to happen is that if I review and see something wrong, I first change it and then approve the entire bups at once, including my own change. There is no other way.

Luckily we are not the only ones (even Arco does it!), so that makes a difference, although I only started to show “remorse” after several reviews to be honest! ;-)

I had already reviewed myself once as a test, but shortly after that it occurred to me that this could not really be the intention.

Although I have already reviewed myself as a kind of test (I saw that another administrator had already done that for me, hence) that does not seem desirable indeed. Let's keep it all as pure as possible, I would say indeed.

In itself that is not the intention, no because that of course does not add anything :-)
We will make sure that that is no longer possible. At the same time, there will also be a comments field that must be filled in if you, as an administrator, disapprove something. We will then send that comment to the person who entered it. He also sees why it has been rejected.
By the way, I don't think you'll receive such an email anytime soon, with your Rode Ridder expertise :-)

Tsja, een optie die misschien wel het overwegen waard is. Wie natuurlijk graag bepaalde albums van een bepaald genre leest of albums van een bepaald genre verzamelt (bv.: westernverhalen) kan het natuurlijk wel een nuttige tool zijn (Met één klik alle western- of SF- of … verhalen op een rijtje).
De vraag die uiteindelijk moet gesteld worden is de volgende: zorgt dit voor bijkomende informatie?
Feit is dat deze info nog nergens elders specifiek vervat zit.
Behalve dan datgene wat Arco wist te vertellen dat bepaalde genres al (onrechtstreeks) voorkomen in de rubriek ‘soort’ waar die dan eigenlijk overbodig komen te zitten.

Well, an option that might be worth considering. Of course, those who like to read certain albums of a certain genre or collect albums of a certain genre (eg: western stories) can of course be a useful tool (with one click all western or SF or ... stories at a glance).
The question that ultimately needs to be asked is the following: does this provide additional information?
The fact is that this information is not yet specifically included anywhere else.
Except for what Arco managed to say that certain genres already (indirectly) appear in the category 'species', where they actually become superfluous.

As far as I am concerned, type only has to do with the SHAPE of the item, not with the content.
Genre is completely unimportant to me, but apparently not for everyone. Maybe others can also respond to this?

As an administrator, are you allowed to "review" yourself or should this be done by a second person?

Yes, the boundary between species and genre is not entirely clear. Are you in favor of recording genres on an album? We can add it like this, so that's not the point.

I saw that there are already a number of such genres between the "types": "manga" and "religious" for example. I don't think they belong there. That is hoping in two minds.

I really cannot imagine a useful application of such a data. It may raise all sorts of nonsensical questions of definition. I think you should mainly limit yourself to "hard" data.

These shops with beautiful shop banners should not be left unmentioned:
JB Starfield Stripshop
For comics: 1Comicworld and FBI -Comics
Also nice: Shop of garfield
And of course Peter Bonte's shop! Colorful - 2nd hand

In the agreements on entering data, I saw that the intention is that there is also a field for, among other things, the colorist.
Would it also be possible to add a field in which the genre / category of the comic could be stated, such as 'action' or 'adventure' or 'humor'.
With the Bluecoats or Lucky Luke you would then could have the combination of 'western' and 'humor'.
This information seems more interesting to me than eg the size of an album.

That's a nice idea, yes, but it doesn't actually belong to this topic about agreements that have already been made. Would you like to create this as a new topic in the “Agreements about adding data” forum? I am curious if others also think this is a good idea.

In part 8 of the Bezige Bij / Het Stripschap editions by Ollie B. the story is recorded twice, once with serial number and once without. Seems a bit exaggerated to me

Is het dan ook mogelijk om een veld toe te voegen waarin de genre / categorie van de strip vermeld kan worden zoals bijvoorbeeld actie of avontuur of historie of humor.
Bij de Blauwbloezen of Lucky Luke zou je dan de combinatie kunnen hebben van western en humor.
Deze informatie lijkt mij persoonlijk interessanter dan de grootte van een album.
