Now my lump is breaking. You never kept separate items from before the Federal Republic of Germany. So merging has no influence on that. They are still not separate now.

@Arco

Maybe we don't get it? but fix us if necessary.

((or do you mean that all items are "equally simple" set before 1945 and after 1990 that will merge) under Germany?)

Quite early in the beginning of the record CD section we tried to keep Germany, West Germany and East Germany apart, if we could see that. (You often need the label for that).

As you know, there was a tool that split Germany into Germany and West Germany by year. East Germany has always been manual work,

About 2 or 3 years, something went wrong with that tool and it was not used anymore. I asked you that at that time and you already indicated that you usefulness didn't see it and that that tool no longer worked.

The last person to run the Tool was Ted,

It's really not difficult. You just have to forget about 1989, because that year is not important to us. Germany only got a bit bigger then, that's all. Everything that is BRD is called all over Catawiki Germany. Only the periods prior to the Federal Republic of Germany can possibly be named separately, as is necessary for Stamps, for example.

I get that the moderators of the section agree on this preference, but I still can't really follow the reasoning.

Take the Deutsche Grammophon (Gesellschaft), for example, since 1898. Were the records of that label released between 1949 and 1989 in another (German) country?

(I do believe, however, that it should be possible to deviate from the general rules in specific categories, if there are convincing arguments for doing so.)

Perhaps in the same place/city, but the country from 1949 - 1990 is politically a different country

Wikipedia:

The Federal Republic of Germany (German: Bundesrepublik Deutschland) was known abroad between 1949 and 1990 by the colloquial but almost universally used name of West Germany .

hence we hate West Germany and East Germany in that period

Deutsche Grammophone or who had factories in the east before the war? no idea, if so then they will not have used this name in the period 1949-1990.

Arco , had to laugh, but nowadays you see that almost all CDs and LPs are made in the EU / EEC and we do not say that everything from before this mention is also set to EU / EEC while the factories that make it are still present are in the individual countries,

And from memory I think we have been using West and East and Germany in this section since 2008.

And the fact that a number of people have crept through can happen, I think it was partly caused because we could use that tool and suddenly it was gone.

@ Arco: very disappointing!

and then forget about East Germany.

Within records it is just important West Germany, but I will not understand!
