For those who are not interested: sorry, this is about stamps.

Petvre
There are 3 different areas United Nations.

The simplest is the one from New York.  All stamps issued by that area can be recognized by the currency: cents, and dollar. NY, United States. Hence.

United Nations Geneve is almost as simple. viz. FS (Swiss Franc).
Geneve, Switzerland. Hence.
I think there is also one, maybe two, somewhere without a currency indication where the amount is in Swiss centimes, but I can't find it immediately.

Third area, United Nations Vienna, is slightly more complex. There has also been a transition to the Euro (in 2001). Initially S (shilling) and a pair with g (groschen). Then in €. Vienna Austria. Hence.

To make things a bit more complex (it was too simple) there have been some releases (blocks) where the three different values were used. A kind of 'joint' issues. Where those belong... no idea. But these are just a few issues, which most collectors probably don't have in their collection (too recent).

Should one turn up, the forum is the right place to discuss what to do with it.
Stamps, not always simple. There's something behind that sometimes.

Have a question, not quite clear to me yet.
If this is the block #636101
And it is already there in the Catalog #5053859
May these still be added #9174585 or only as a second image.

I just happened to have a look. I had to disapprove a few of that user with heartbreak ... I don't like to do that with someone who proves to teach decent quality. But it has to be.
But one of the se tenants was rightfully added.

What I am 100% sure:
#636101 is a block (the white sheet edge is just as white as the rest of the background, so hard to see).
The block consists of 2 stamps on the left, 2 stamps on the right, and a label in the middle (non-franked decoration with teeth). All stamps on the item are different. So: block.

What I am 99% sure:
In this setup, 2 se-tenants are possible. On the left one of 2, and on the right one of 2. The series loose is also possible as an item, because we (almost) always allow series of loose stamps.
Such a se-tenant with a label on it: not allowed if separate item. But may be added as a 2nd image to the se-tenant if there is a need for it.

What my gut knows for sure (gut feeling, that's something), but difficult to explain with the existing rules on LD :
The 4 stamps together with the middle label, without the sheet edge, we will not allow those. For my part, it may possibly be the 2nd image in the series, but not as a separate item. Because something like that is a mutilated block. A block without the sheet edge on it ... who would do such a thing?
Well, books are going to tear up to fill boxes 'Combinations from booklets' in a pre-print album ... I didn't think it was possible either. And yet it is done en masse!
But this is not a booklet, it is a block. :)

Summarized for the issue:
1 block, 4 stamps, 2 se-tenants, 1 series
more is not allowed in terms of stamps. Crafting...that's another matter.

I'd say take it that way. Expanding the manual for such special setups seems counterproductive to me. Then it becomes even more complicated, and even less understood. We don't want that. 99.99% of possible cases are covered. The cases that fall under that 0.01%  should then only be looked at if a problem arises. Every 5 years something like this will come up as a problem.
We'll see in 2027 :)

Yes lol, how all that is translated.
But when translating Doublures I do nothing, just fill in Doublures of or something else in the Netherlands, they will always be removed that way.
Is I sometimes noticed that when I enter Doublure van the German translation at LD is Vervielfältigung von, but I think this is wrong, I think this should be Dublette von

Question.
Can this continue as Series?
#1143393 serrated.
#1143403 imperforate
If not one of the Admins can remove these items, no one is behind these items.

I couldn't disapprove of them either, only the super admin can do that. Once a change has been reviewed, a simple administrator like me cannot remove it.
But they are legitimately illegal items. Series: only loose stamps. A block can never be part of a series.

Fine Raoul, learned something again.
Have something else.
There is this Series #8305923 and this Series #8305929 both a Series of 7 stamps, but released in different months.
Now they have brought the two Series together into a Series #2234259
How about in this case.
I saw that you have reviewed the Series as well, but just wanted to know if this is ok. now looks more like a Combination offer in the Stamp Catalogue.

#2234259 should actually be deprecated. It must have been included in the slipstream of the global review of this area. Normally, after a global review (based on the list 'to be reviewed'), a detailed review per year / issue follows.
That has not yet happened for Congo, due to additional bread on the table, time and again ...
It happens sometimes.

In a first processing of the open reviews I am a bit mild about the series. If there are 2 subseries: ok, everything is in one series: also ok.
If afterwards a series item arrives that disturbs the situation, then it is a matter of deliberation. Usually I am for everything in one series (eg some postage stamps and some airmail stamps). If the big one is not there yet, if present, the subseries can still remain for a while.

I do ask Daan to remove the item. This is a combination of 2 series. All protected birds, but not the same issue (date).
Then it is better to keep them separate per issue.

Is that so, or am I misunderstanding you?
#8305929 is clearly a continuation of #8305923 , with an identical design.
I imagine you want to keep them as two different Series (Type), but the Release name should be the same in my opinion as per the "long-running series" instructions.

I happened to have a similar case last week:
I placed a stamp from Latvia under the same Issue as a stamp from last year. It was explicitly announced by the Latvian postal service as the second edition in a series of " World Fairytales " (so more are expected to follow).

PS May I take this opportunity right away to ask an administrator to add the name variation "Latvija" to Latvia? That's literally what it says on the stamps, but you can't find that country with the search function at the moment.

An experienced person then recommended that I keep the series separate with I and II.

They are grouped together in the OBP, all with the same date (issue), but that is not a reference. Specialized information tells us that the birds fledged on 2 different dates.

There is a sorting problem with the same issue name within the same year. After all: the mechanism determines the date of issue via the issue name (somewhere a random item with the year, month and day filled in) and then places all stamps in a year together. However, between the 2 release dates of the 'series' there have been other issues. And that doesn't present nicely.
Therefore, as the administrator of this area (then still a rookie, and according to some still today :)), I listened to the wise advice of someone who has already acquired gray hairs as an administrator.

In addition, 7 stamps were issued on 2 different dates, which would be intertwined for nominal values.
The first wave has values 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 7 - 8 and 10 Congolese francs. The second wave has the values 10 - 20 - 30 - 40 cents and 5 - 6 and 20 Congolese francs.
Usually OBP knows better, but for these stamps the OBP has not paid much attention (will be improved someday). They have all tarred them with the same brush.
LD, as a stamp catalog for these stamps, does a bit better.

In principle, the administrator of a country/area determines what is or is not included. Now you know the reason why, in this particular case, on LD they are not taken together

The new sorting (based on one date year/month/day within the issue) is brilliant. But sometimes there are drawbacks. Thus, the disadvantage was specifically eliminated here. (" Every advantage has its disadvantage ", or was it the other way around?).

but the name of the Issue should in my opinion be the same
I totally agree. Unfortunately, the concept of Issue has never been defined. Nor series, by the way. So everyone does what they think is right . And then you get splitters and lumpers. So what the lumper thinks is one issue is chopped up by the splitters: 1966 Birds (1), 1966 Birds (2), 1966 Birds (3) etc. The lumper goes the other way and finds that de:ze 3 issues must be counted as 1 issue. Furthermore, the lumper thinks so, for example
#4274155 , #1241497 , #3041397 , #5215735 , #2375323 , #5338753 (Why these together again?), #7550251 (1971?), #4349565 , #1931215 , #2375293 , #4037735 should be placed in the same issue. The same goes for stamps such as #2467631 and #5186999 and similar stamps. After all, they are nothing more than (adapted) reprints of the first stamp. If the Suske en Wiske album 'On the island of Amoras' is reprinted, it will not be called 'The steel flowerpot', despite adjustments. Moreover, the stamps are placed together in this way, which means that duplications are much less likely to be introduced
I imagine you want to keep them as two different Series (Species),
I wouldn't know why. The argument Raoul got from the experienced gray-haired man is weak to say the least. Lastdodo contains numerous series of which the stamps were not issued on the same day (especially the franking stamps). With Indonesia I get the feeling that this is the rule rather than the exception, especially in the early years. If you use this argument, then you also have to be consistent and split up a whole bunch of postage stamp series. But again, first there must be a good definition of the term series. And of course it won't happen. Why don't you just remove the 'series' type? Although I find selecting by series very useful to quickly check imported stamps for duplicates.

When changing an Item, here now with the Stamps, but the same is also the case with other Categories, has something changed in the color?
Previously it was with me that everything was Black, now there are fields where the color is Light Blue and Black.
And it also seems to me when the Drop-down menu opens that this has also become much larger.
This was with me this morning not, it takes some getting used to.

We didn't change that on purpose.

I think you mean on mobile and then the drop-down lists at fields with a list of values?

On my IPad when I change something it looks e.g. now like this, Black and Blue, this was not yet this morning, here's an example.
And if I now change something in this Item and the Drop-down menu at a field opens, it is also much larger than this morning.

Apparently this only works in a Safari browser.
It does indeed seem different.
In itself it is not bad and urgent I think?

Lyonesse , We checked it out and on these relatively old pages these are indeed elements of which the browser itself determines how they look. So Safari has decided to shape these dropdowns a bit differently.
