Some years I think you can transfer to the Belgian edition in one go, others you can't. So if I now, for example, sit down in 1956 to change/add, while someone else is busy moving to another series, we get in each other's way.

This cannot be transferred in bulk, it is all manual work per item. Unfortunately, wrong backs have been placed on some items in the past. Only when front and back are placed at the same time is it somewhat reliable with these magazines.
So pay particular attention to the fronts, they mainly determine whether they are BEL / NLD issues.

It would be very helpful if you make good scans of the front and back of your copies + maybe a scan from the inside which can be decisive for identification.

Okay fine. I've already scanned quite a bit so I'll try to add or adjust as much as possible next weekend.
Incidentally, the publisher is on the back of various years, but on the front of others, so that often changes.
I will then assume that the volumes that do not yet have a country code are the Dutch edition. But that does mean that a lot of Belgian editions that are now incorrectly depicted with the Dutch ones will be replaced by Dutch ones. So the question is whether those Belgian images shouldn't be moved to the Belgian series first. If they are no longer there after my changes, you can no longer transfer them. Hence my hesitation to change everything right now.

Collectioneur Shouldn't you always message all collectors at this split so that they put their copy back in the correct country? (There are also people who don't read the forum.)

Today I have added and/or supplemented the Belgian editions I have from 1935-1941 and the fifties with images. Hopefully there are others who can complete the volumes further.
After this I will check the Dutch editions and supplement them where possible.
And I agree with the above comment: actually everyone who has something in such a section, including sellers, should automatically be notified if something is changed. If a new variant of a Donald Duck shows up and is posted as B version, no seller knows about it, so all items entered so far are under the A version.
Perhaps there is a way to realize such an automatic notification?
Have a nice weekend

Nice addition to the catalog!

This seems very noble, but in practice unworkable. Many people have a large number of items in their Collection or Shop. Thousands of changes are made every day, you will no longer be able to access your collection due to the large number of emails.

Collectioneur I also never said to "automatically" notify every change.
I know that administrators are also super busy, but this is about cleaning/renaming a large group of items structurally. If that is not communicated to everyone, you will not know what is in your collection/shop in the end.

I was referring to the message from vergetenboek.
Also, our system is currently not set up to send a message per series/series to all collectors, shops and searchers involved. This will be added to the wish list for the new admin pages.

It was a suggestion. If it can't, it can't. And if it generates too much mail traffic, it is indeed not a good thing to do.
I usually email the seller first or simultaneously with an order to inquire whether it is the right version. That saves a lot of duplicate copies. Incidentally, things sometimes go wrong even after such an email exchange, so it remains a difficult distinction for many. Several sellers had no idea that there were two versions, so it shows that things like this are difficult to straighten out.

If an item is in your collection, something is changed, it is not such a problem, I will see it myself in due course. However, with regard to a sale, you have to be attentive, in this case with weekly newspapers, especially that it is added later in the catalog that an attachment belongs to it. That is careful because before you know it you have a disappointed buyer. Agree that with changes email traffic is unfeasible. Even if someone has a large collection, checking changes in the history is a great option.

Many thanks to vergetenboek are in much better order now:

There are no more photo cameras on the fronts, they are still on a number of backs. Please never add only a back, always enter the front and back at the same time. Because it turned out that a considerable number of wrong backs had been entered.
