Images like in #7282665 were stolen from the Internet, or scanned from a brochure.
The perforation of the (real) stamp is not drawn with black lines.
This is against one of the most primary principles on LD (basic handbook).
Shouldn't such an item be removed immediately?
Or is everyone allowed to fill in the 'gaps' with scans from brochures and paper catalogues? I can take care of it, trust me :)

Difficult with items that have been in the catalog for years.
But as an administrator you can at least delete the image.

Raoul62 . agree with you, we have to stick to LD's handbook, soon we will no longer see the trees in the forest and a proliferation of photos, scans etc.
Also someone who places photos, etc. of objects that he does not own is not a collector.
And collecting is the main focus here, isn't it.

possibly ask the creator first for his own scan (educate them and give them the chance), and otherwise or in case of no response: reject and if that no longer works: absolutely remove the image (because of copyright claims of third parties to LD).

Problem is, items like this were added more than 4 years ago. No cat still remembers what it was up to 4 years ago.
Or as Boekenmagazijn nicely put it:
Difficult with items that have been in the catalog for years
It takes a lot of time and administration. Going to follow up on all that (who did I message when for which item, and do I have to ask again?) ...
There is only one remedy: to make it disappear completely. The item should never have been added in such a way.
It is an addition that cannot be accepted. Contrary to the basic rules of LD: your own scan of your own property as proof that it does exist.
Paying attention to it (losing time on it) sends the wrong signal: 'it is allowed, until someone sees it ... and then it can still be adjusted ...)

An alternative is a signal point and a responsible person (administrator?) who then contacts and follows up the mess.
Is there a volunteer to spend time on this?

Often the 'contact' will be an attempt to communicate with the hereafter. That's what you're guessing. You don't know if a user is still on LD, or even out of this world.

A lot of such things are currently coming up because the anomalies are now being worked on in a structured way. With the many (new and better) filters.
One based on sheets/blocks, the other based on Issue, or based on empty year.
Such items are the most sensitive to duplication or misuse of media (images). Laziness is usually not limited to one kind of data, but general. With regard to the data, but also as a seller in a shop.
And ... too much is too much (trop c'est trop - too much is too much).
Once open reviews (hundreds of thousands), or open price suggestions (tens of thousands) are back under control, there may be room to pay a lot of attention to them. Judging by the development of those figures, that time is not here now.

Making the image disappear is also not a good idea. Proof that it is an existing item has not been provided.
In addition, we already have a legacy of thousands of unimaged items in the stamp catalog.
Recently I had to signal several FDC's as duplication, referring to a CaR item without an image (and with limited data). That eats away at motivation. Both with the adder and with the administrator who must mark them as duplication. Absurd to describe it in one word.

It has been going on for years that some members in both import / modification of the catalog use stolen images. Also with books for example. And also in some shops. But there have been some reprimands for that in the past.

I'm not a techie, but is it an idea to put a big block in red "only own photos allowed" at the page where you can enter a new item in each section and also when someone makes a change. Own photos are everywhere with text and explanation, but apparently some people still need a nudge in the right direction, sometimes people are lazy to read the explanations. The management and hassle of stolen images is also not feasible for administrators and extremely irritating.

Indeed, annoying. You are entitled to it.
The best push is to remove. No respect for the rules? No respect for work either. Over and over. But then asap.

No, it is not optimal, but it is the rule that must be applied (if the other actions mentioned do not lead to results), until someone takes the trouble to place their own image.

Yet with books you sometimes have a copy of which the cover is in very bad condition or is missing, so that you can only take photos of your own copy, which are black areas or a different color, but no title or otherwise. . Is it then also a problem that you use someone else's photos, so that you can prove that it exists and also inform others of the existence of that book?

It's about the rights. In the situation described, the owner of those images can enter them themselves as a replacement for your images.

OK, clear. But what about a book, handwritten in a foreign language, whose author has not been with us for several centuries?

It concerns the rights of the image itself, only if you have made it yourself are you sure that you can use those images. Has nothing to do with the item.

If you still see such images with such a neat continuous perforated edge: they have all been 'stolen' from somewhere on the Internet. You can always replace it.


They may be beautiful images, but the guidelines are clear: only own images.
