Except when the field carrier is entered incorrectly (especially the difference between 10 "and 12" LPs is sometimes very difficult to see).

Recently I removed a number of LPs from carrier "6" vinyl ".

Even when the whole plate is shown, I find it difficult to distinguish between 10 inches or 12 inches. There is no yardstick next to it :-)

My preference is also to "zoom in" on label.

Received private message:

Dear archivist,
You know that image 1 should only be the front, without the back. It takes us a lot of time to have to delete them all the time...
Kind regards, Arco

????????????????????????????????

Catching as much info as possible on the 3 photos, right?

Spine is 'stuck' at the front, fold it over so that it can be seen in photo 2, then block any text from the back of the CD-Maxi singles, see:

Serious???

I already have 1000 (not just me)!!! added, is it only now about the backs?

Have read the Manual, but there is nothing about spines on CD-Maxi singles.

We do not 'catch', but make a whole as consistent as possible. Spines are not allowed anywhere in Catawiki on images 1 and 2.

By the way, do you know that you cannot just post your private mail in full on the forum? In my mailbox I do not see an answer from you ...

Apologies for making the private message public, but everyone needs to know about rules.

But about the manual, it's not specifically mentioned there,

and the few thousand that have already been added

and

"then block any text from the back of the CD-Maxi singles, see:"

???? This can not be true.

Why do you block text? You can unfold it in those situations, just like you do for the front?

Private not public ... not really .. also explains what it is about (but discretion is so neat)

Don't want to put anyone down.

"Why do you block text? You can unfold it in those situations anyway?"

Also on the back is important information that may not be on the 'info side' (release code, barcode , country, society ...)

The most important thing is recognition, right?

So that no duplicate items are placed.

I can see it in the instructions, but indeed not yet in the manual.

ahhh,

I've read it but apparently it didn't stick with me (had already read the manual)

Apologies.

What is the 'damage' when showing the back?

Equal tight photos I had already understood (no ugly 'sides' or 'curvatures')

after so many additions only now a 'warning' bit of a pity.

Unfortunately, there are more who don't read or 'listen' very well. (such as photos in CD cover - I also show because of a sticker, already modified here and there - or photos of records on a green office chair, either very blurry or...)

Some of my own photos are taken 'obliquely' because of the reflection. (me and camera and surroundings in sight). (I hold a white plate in the air above the CD to prevent reflection from the ceiling, surroundings and direct sunlight.)

I know you guys are trying to keep up as much as possible, kudos for that!

But now I wanted to add again,

should I do it differently now or maybe there will be consultation??

Then I have to either photograph it or cut it with a program on the PC,

(such as ''=known' I don't have a PC. I'm always in the library which takes more time, and money -payment system with receipts- costs

have 15,000 items that are not in CW, so do the math in terms of time and money (it's my own choice of course, it doesn't have to be...)

I would just continue without a back from now on. The others will probably be replaced in due course, and - if I understand you correctly - I do not have the impression that the existing ones with their backs will be removed.

See many different types of photos that are not 'allowed', you can only adjust something if you have the item YOURSELF...

Should then...

But keep in mind that it doesn't work, there are print differences, it's all clear to see, which is the most important thing to know whether or not something is already in CW. Or ditto is up to your copy .

What works best, the logic of x number of administrators, or the growing majority, who want to see as much as possible / for whom it must be clear which instance it concerns that can be seen .

My logic is 'perhaps' not THE logic, but it is of countless more people.

You can enter text for details, but there are simply printing differences between releases , e.g. placement of text at 1 in that corner, at the other in a different corner. (even if they come from the same country, or are from the same company/press/printer) A photo is faster, easier, and clearer.

I post photos of some items in 'strange packaging' on my own page, but people should actually be able to know that there are even more 'control' photos. You have to find out by clicking on the names at: In collection of:

No back, is that also with the 'regular' CD (the 2 sides left and right of the back)???

With a spine you can see at once whether it is a CD single or a CD album .

Sometimes people look too quickly and do not see that the placed item is already in CW.

The importance for some who post something is because they only have it for sale. (may be, but pay attention)

Some don't read the policy or don't read it well enough... (because we think we know / and are a bit 'rule tired')

Sounds negative about the fellow man, but we've been walking around / and proven long enough to know how we are.

(send public poll to everyone??)

CDS will soon be everywhere under a CD single. I already adjusted a month ago for all new or changed CD singles.

- if I understand you correctly - I do not have the impression that the existing ones will be removed with a spine

If it is further 3 clear photos -and they are- let I just stand them. These photos are also usually nicely updated, so that I don't see half of the household goods.

If the image is replaced by a scan, I prefer that. Until then: no problem for me.
