At this moment a so-called lookup field is created for all entries in this section of the Country field. That means that you will soon be able to select by country. This also ensures that fewer input errors are made.

This process will run for the next few hours. During the time you will see the land field twice for an album. You can now only enter something in the new country field.

So it might be a bit confusing. However, as soon as everything has been transferred correctly, I will remove the old country field, and you will not see it anymore.

All country information has been transferred. Frans will clean up the list, so that there is a nice country list.

The cleaning is complete. I have used the Dutch name for all countries. So if you want to take that into account when entering :-)

And immediately polluted with Belgium, Germany, Eec, England, France, Germany, Holland, Uk, Us, USA , USA -NL, West-Germany.

And:
Croatia = Croatia
E.U. = European Union
Bosnia = Bosnia and Herzegovina

it's “Bosnia and Herzegovina” or Bosnia & amp; Herzegovina…

Short link, because there is not (yet) a direct link from the section page:

In most countries, the translations still have to be added (done at the administrator level). This can reduce some of the pollution. Provided the importer takes the time to drop the dropdown

ergo: Bosnia and Herzegovina in Catawiki is therefore also wrong… :-)

The Dutch embassy uses
Bosnia and Herzegovina
Just start handling this.

@morrits only in that overview it is wrong
in the catalog it can simply be chosen correctly.

Intussen ook nog België en Kroatië dubbel (met volkomen identieke spelling, geen idee hoe dat kan), Europa, Groot-Brittannië (of stond die er eerder ook al bij? Moet Verenigd Koninkrijk zijn), NL, Yugoslavia.

Onvoorstelbaar hoe snel zo’n strak lijstje vern***t wordt.

In the meantime also Belgium and Croatia double (with completely identical spelling, no idea how that is possible), Europe, Great Britain (or was it already there before? Must be United Kingdom), NL, Yugoslavia.

Unbelievable how quickly such a tight list is destroyed.

The drop down is often too slow.

@Bookstore
I know :-).
I changed the wrong spelling and because of that the correct spelling is now appearing twice. Some super admin should be able to put these two together, I hope.
I had no intention of changing all the misspelled countries in the items themselves. I hope that's not the only way to get them right…

I propose to eradicate the problem of wrong spelling once and for all, so that the countries can no longer be entered freely, but only to be chosen from the drop down menu. There are not that many countries and the countries that are not listed by adding administrators.

This should also be done for the languages.

The option to choose from a dropdown is already possible, but sometimes you add faster than a dropdown can fall.

@Jilles
I mean that now, you should no longer be able to enter freely, that leads to spelling errors and completely different names.
So by only I meant only and not ...

This means that all countries not yet included in the list must still be added.
“Some” super administrator has already been cleaning up

Dear all,

I regularly travel through the countries. Just done and then it is all not too bad :-) Goes fairly quickly via merging sub-areas.
What Bosnié - / and / & amp; Herzogevina concerns: I took the spelling with hyphen from Wikipedia.
I left Britain and England in the cleanup, because otherwise you will never be fine if you don't know the difference (According to Morits) :-)) Yugoslavia is the English name and I will also fill that in with the English name. I've already done some of those, but that's research work and I initially wanted to clean up the list.

Oops, so the rest must be sweeper. :-)

Bosnia is still listed as a separate country.

There should be a complete country list for the entire catalog, with spelling variants, aliases and translations. This is not an unnecessary luxury, especially for the Postage Stamps section

But what do you do with countries that have changed names in recent years, like the former Soviet Union and the Balkans
Yugoslavia was before the breakup (a) country East and West Germany
(Are they applicable aliases?)
This will especially apply to stamps and coins.

Many LPs are often printed in West Germany

Surely we should be able to enter West Germany for the country instead of Germany?

My idea: Keep country name, which is on the LP (but in Dutch)
So west Germany
Yugoslavia
etc

But this does not only apply to music, but actually to all categories

Will therefore have to be a central country register

West Germany wikipedia
West Germany was founded as the Federal Republic of Germany on 23 May 1949

The German Democratic Republic
(GDR), often also East Germany
October 3, 1990. Then the federal states in the area of the DDR joined the Federal Republic of Germany, reuniting Germany.

We often call it America but it is the United States of America.

I assume we will work this out

I have left West Germany, East Germany and Germany in the list, because there are items that were released in the days when those countries still existed.
