This field is intended for the country where the model car was made.

Not to be confused with the original car origin.

A Ford made in China, so not to be confused with the American brand.

I suggest these countries are coded in English. This site is international. English is a language recognized internationally for business.

That depends on what the administrators have done here (read translated). You log in to .be? try .com and see what you see. .be and .nl are rather Dutch-oriented.

ps, I never log in to .com, so I have no idea what you will find there.

For some reason, the country here is not a field that can be translated. Strange, but it's on my to-do list.

Update input lines:

Enter the name of the country where the model was created in English.

No abbreviations please, enter name in full.

Catawiki has grown considerably.

More internationally oriented, we need to adjust the data so that it is clear to everyone.

Some examples of the English translation;

Netherlands = Netherlands (no Holland or NL, will be rejected)

Germany = Germany

England = England

France = France

Malaysia = Malaysia

United States = United States (no USA, will be disapproved)

Why not Holland but England?

Shouldn't that be Great Britain or United Kingdom ?

As a new user, I see a lot of information about the model being incorrect or incomplete with various model cars, such as Dinky Toys, Corgi Toys, Matchbox.

History shows that this erroneous and / or missing information is correctly completed or repaired, but then always see that the administrator Okidoki removes it and places incorrect information again!

Why does that happen?

Isn't it in the interest of the Catawiki Catalog to display all information as completely and correctly as possible?

You may be new to Catawiki, but it is still more effective to first contact Okidoki via a direct message. And then come up with an example or examples. The members of the Forum cannot comment that an administrator or importer of an item does something or much ??? would do wrong. I assume that if you were an administrator yourself, you would not like a public message without consulting yourself first ...

This is very much like a repetition of a previously endless and nonsensical discussion.

Is it strange that someone can become a member without filling any information in the Catawiki system, or am I missing something here?

This is probably just another Basiliscus that has been blocked. Not responding is probably best ... (for all of us)

Ah, exactly the / your reactions as expected and exactly described by Anna - Basiliscus.

Indeed an old acquaintance of mine, who I have known for years as a VERY reliable collector / enthusiast and old models expert with a lot of knowledge of this hobby and ALWAYS willing to share her knowledge or help me

It was she who even put me in touch with Catawiki auctions and this part of Catawiki; the Cataliogus accessible to everyone

I am just an enthusiast / collector and recently Purchased customer of Auction Catawiki, so I am free to use this Cataliogus without having to give any further account or account to anyone.

Then visited my interest part of this Cataliogus, the various old Model cars,

Including Dinky Toys, Matchbox, Lion Toys and Corgi Toys.

What strikes ME as a simple enthusiast are the large amount of errors in many of the indicated models and looked at more closely through History, to see that indeed this Basiliscus, Anna, often corrects these errors correctly, which then apparently just as cheerfully because administrator Okidoki will be undone so that the errors will appear in the Catalog again.

I just think that's a very strange thing.

See as an example;

No. 2290861 Matchboix Horsedrawn Milkvwagon ..

What do I do as an enthusiast / collector with an old black and white photo of a horse with cart while the good and correct REAL moidel photos of this fairly rare model were available through Basiliscus see History

See also e.g. Dinky Toys nr. 5849731 and / or Corgi Toys nr. 1607321

A great pity is the situation with all the old Lion Toys models,

Where now, unfortunately, almost no information is displayed, while apparently it was entered by that Basiliscus.

Why this valuable Catalog information is so rucksichlos removed again by this Okidoki when in my opinion it would be an important addition to the completeness of the Catalog

Dear Mr Harry,

It was therefore that I thought I could freely post this question and information on a free and open Forum, and I still hold this opinion.

B.

Mr Collector,

In response to your comment;

In the past few days I have viewed these four old Model car pages;

Dinky Toys - Matchbox - Corgi Toys and Lion Toys

About 20Painas per type, with 24 models per page ... about 1,500 models

With 3-5 errors per model, so one can safely say:

Some THOUSANDS of errors,

Per page, see history, these errors are regularly corrected and information is added, usually by Basiliscus but also others and also these improvements are made by this Okidoki as a closure.

That does not seem to me to be an endless and certainly NOT a pointless discussion.

There will be exact facts, such as correct and complete Model Name, Model Number, Dimensions, Photos, Country of Origin, etc.etc. little to discuss.

It is correct information that only contributes to improving this Catawiki Catalog that can be used by everyone.

It's not about whether Basiliscus is right; because of her behavior she is no longer welcome here. Her changes are reverted by default. Of course she can continue to use the catalog and her shop, but that's it. Many administrators, and I myself too, do not want to argue with her after years of misery.

I am now closing this topic.
