Yesterday I listed a series of two souvenir sheets from Korea (South-).
A zealous member objected and renamed my listing with "Doublure,forbidden".
Asking him why,I received the answer,that the manual states,that series consist of two or more
stamps. (meaning only stamps can make up a series and not s.s.)
My best guess is that there will be about 100 series of souvenir sheets from Korea alone.
Hard to believe,that they are not allowed,to be listed as such.
But obviously,what is not stated as allowed in the manual,must be forbidden.

Salentin
'Series' as an item is in principle not allowed on the entire site (basic handbook), except in the Stamps section. And that under strict conditions.
It is an exception that other sections are a bit jealous of.
But the 'series' item is a blessing for sellers, administrators and collectors.

However, the exception is subject to strict conditions: only for 'loose' stamps.
By not violating the conditions, we also do not provoke controversy, and we can continue to maintain this exception in the stamp section.

The 'duplicate' I find #9503235 has not been marked because it is forbidden, but because the item already exists #5149003
Maybe it's a different item?

Sorry,that I made myself not clear enough !
I myself had given #9503235 the heading doublure,because I had overseen
#5149003,what was hidden in an unexpected (wrong) position.

In my message I was refering to #9508145 and #9508149.
I wanted to list them as singles and following as set of 2.
This brought the "Doublure forbidden" classification and the listing
was removed within a very short time.That is why you could not
find it.
I do not know anything about other sections but stamps on LD.
And I have no interest in them.
If however the stamp-section has to follow any other section,who 
may have quite different needs and interests,than something is
wrong with LD in principal.

Salentin a lot is already allowed on LD. With your two blocks you have already created five items. The sixth failed. You say, you have at least another hundred blocks as a series, are you really going to enter all of them like this?. So there is no overview at all. And it's totally unnecessary.

Simply enter blocks and sheets separately as items.
They are held together with 'Issue'.
If there are 2 or more, within the same issue, you can use 'Sequence Number' to determine the order in which they will be displayed on the screen.
LD is a platform by and for collectors. Not a stamp site.
Looking over the walls can also be useful.

Charles1971 ,are you familiar with the stamps o f Korea (South-) ?
The stamps of the catoon (comics)-series were issued in sheets of 20.
The souvenir sheets were issued in addition.Although they are of the same
face-value,prices of the souvenir sheets are considerably higher,than those
of the set from sheets of 20.
So the shown single stamps + set,are not stamps cut out from the
souvenir-sheets,although there is no difference.
However as most s.s. from Korea contain two alike stamps,they would
not qualify for listing in the main-section,after the weird rules of the
manual.

No Salentin , I'm not familiar with these stamps, maybe in a few years when I've sorted my current territories. At least if there is still a clear South Korea. If there is no overview in this area, I will not start. So watch out what you do, it's for the people who come after you!.

Rest assured Charles1971 , if Salentin works in that area it will only get better. I'm convinced of that. I saw that (some time ago) in Bhutan. Great job there, Werner!

It is only the straitjacket of the existing definitions and procedures that are still somewhat difficult. That will get used to.
You initially want to see many things differently. After a while you get a different view on that. That it works that way, with advantages that should not be underestimated.
And shake everyone up once in a while... I could use some help with that :)

I also think that Salentin , more precisely Werner, is getting the hang of this other regulation that makes LastDodo so unique. The know-how is clearly present at Werner, keep it up. In terms of waking up Raoul62, isn't it going well?.

Thank you Charles1971 andRaoul62 for your kind words.
However I don´t think I will get used to obey rules what are not leading
to the aim of a useful catalogue.
I am only talking about stamps.All the other collecting items,as interesting
as they certainly are,are out of my personal interest.
I am quiet sure about that each of them should have custom-tailored
rules to suit them.
But there is no point in applying the same rules to f.i. comic-book-
collecting and f.i. stamp-collecting.
If L.D. will not more easyly adapt to different needs,I am afraid,it will
end the same way,the Dodo did.Or will remain a niche forum for the
Dutch-speaking countries.
I have not seen a single answer why the current listing of souvenir
sheets,vice versas sheetlets (Kleinbögen) is meaningful.
Just to say,it is like that because the rules are like that,is not 
good enough.

I for my part will leave out all souvenir sheets,what are by L.D. rule
are called sheetlets (Kleinbögen).That´s a pity,as it will make the
catalogue listing very uncomplete.
I nevertheless will continue,at least for a while with Korea (South-),
going backwards year by year.
If I will get tired of it,I might have a look to other countries I collect,
what are less difficult to list with the current hampering rules.

Salentin You've been doing a great job on LD for a few months now and you've made thousands of tweaks. And now you come forward with the argument that you don't like to follow the rules?
In the past, everyone just did their own thing because the difference between Velletje and Blok was not clear. After careful consideration, postmaster came up with the new definition, something that should be easily recognizable (even for inexperienced collectors without a catalog, and without exceptions). Meanwhile, hundreds of items are corrected to this new definition.
Since August (so 5 months already) another topic has been written about and complained about, which makes the situation unclear again because everyone wants it their own way.
And now you're going to start a second topic because you disagree with the classification. Talk about chaos!
And as far as rules are concerned: Why do people drive on the right in some countries and on the left in some countries? I don't agree with that but I am obliged to follow the rules :-).
Please stop writing and do what is asked (not only for you personally but for everyone who responds to this).

Yes Raoul62 , if you feel addressed you also belong to "everyone" (but I don't think so :-) ).
Everyone can ask questions and give their opinion on the forum, but at a certain moment a decision is made. Continuing to argue against this makes little sense. The definition will never be 100% correct.

user-1713548 ,you well have your opinion,what is O.K. with me.
But you should not tell me to shut up !
I think,if a rule is senceless,one has to question it.
I do not know how far your knowledge about philatly reaches.
But you might think about that:
All mayor international stamp catalogues,Scott,S.G.,Yvert and Michel agree
that souvenir sheets (Blöcke) can contain more than one alike stamps.
Do you really believe that postmaster knows better ?
Would be nice if he himself would declare what the base of his rule is.

As said before:
it is useless to look for clear definition of souvenir sheets.
However there is no good reason,why items,what are listed in all
"big" catalogues as souvenir sheets,should be listed in a back of the book
section on L.D.

Salentin I didn't give my own opinion but just the rules and definition of the handbook.
You can ask anything you want on the forum, that's why I also mentioned postmaster in my previous post. But once you've given an answer, you don't have to keep repeating that you disagree.
What I know from philately : nothing !! And that is what makes it so unique as an administrator. The rules on LD should be simple enough for anyone to understand, even someone who doesn't know anything about them and therefore doesn't have that many catalogs.

Basically Salentin there is no back of the book with LD. For example, in the country list, go to South Korea. At the top left there is a filter, default or all. The filter is always set to default, set this filter to all, and you will see everything in the overview. As long as you stay with this country, this filter will remain that way.

Charles1971 ,I really have to thank you !
I was not aware of the filter-system.After a first try it seems,that it works
fine.It really than doesn´t matter wether you call a souvenir sheet a sheetlet
or whatever.My only concern was,that the curious definition of sheetlets
in the manual,would take them out of the main-body of the catalogue.
As far as I am concerned people who like to re-classify souvenir sheets as sheetlets may go on with their valable work.

According to the manual the upper item (Japan,Nagano Communcation 
Exhibition,issued Oct.16th,1948) is a souvenir sheet (Block).

The lower items (Japan,Shikoku Philatelic Exhibition,issued Nov.2nd,1948)
is a sheetlet (Kleinbogen).
How silly is that ?!

Why is that weird Salentin?. The top one is a block and the bottom one is a sheet. That's just how it is recorded at LastDodo. Each Catalog has its own rules.

Block: eine Sammlung von einer oder multiple verschiedenen Briefmarken, umgeben von einem Bogenrand. Characteristic ist, dass ein Block separat ausgegeben wird. Bogen: eine Sammlung von mehreren Briefmarken, wobei mindestens eine Briefmarke mehr als einmal forkommt, umgeben von einem Bogenrand.

Souvenir sheet? 
Sheetlet? 
Kleinbogen? 

I can't find any of these terms in the Manual (or Handbuch).
How silly is that?
