  I suggest you usability test this proposal. Calling the section "Figures."
[…]
I have a web site, this is my product line, I want to have a section titled "figures".
Which of these items would you expect to find in that section?

This question is flawed.

You should add things that are clearly not figures, like cars or houses, and
things on the line, like Cars (the movie) characters.

As you’re proposing it, you’re showing only things that could be construed as
“figures,” so people will try to find some that wouldn’t be.

The other questions don’t show that flaw as you’re trying to subcategorize figures
and show (what you expect to be) different subcategories on each page.

As there are two plates on each sprue, the numbers should be halved.

I never found part 4073 in a set on a Sprue.

4073 always came by pair on a sprue in the 1980’s.


  It appears you don't have any sealed sets of your own, but you are just copying
images from website (which actually is forbidden). Why delete part 4073 and add
these on a sprue?
My guess is that about 95% of all sets have these plates in it. Are you going
to add change requests for all sets.

I noticed there are some good changes concerning inventories, but this really
is going to far. I'm sure that I'm not the only one with this opinion?!

New sealed set.
The 2 extra glasses were in the first batch (20 instead of 18).
In compensation, I only got 2 extra trans-green plate 1x1 instead of 4.

And… that’s why admins are paid the big bucks and, my not having either of the
parts, why I can now go to sleep with a clear conscience

  I never thought that I will have problem with some parts.
Can somebody show me the difference between:
 
Part No: 93587  Name: Vehicle, Mudguard 3 x 4 x 1 2/3 Curved
* 
93587 Vehicle, Mudguard 3 x 4 x 1 2/3 Curved
Parts: Vehicle, Mudguard
and
 
Part No: 38224  Name: Vehicle, Mudguard 3 x 4 x 1 2/3 Curved Fenders
* 
38224 Vehicle, Mudguard 3 x 4 x 1 2/3 Curved Fenders
Parts: Vehicle, Mudguard

I'm looking at the renders of these two parts in yellow and I don't see
any difference.

I looked at the two BL pics (official Lego renders?): I believe there’s a difference
around the stud hole (red circles) and, maybe at the top of the fender (orange
circles).

BUT 93587 at on top of 38224 on my comparison pic, so it’s the opposite of the
description (93587 is rounder).



I looked on Brickset, the images are the same but a bit bigger and placed the
same way, so going back and forth from one image to the other is possible and
shows the same differences PLUS 38224 seems a bit higher (the bottom of the parts
are at the same place but the studs aren’t).

That might help you find the differences on the real parts, if they exist because
renders….

Ok, thank you very much for the explanation. But actually writing in the titles
"Marked for Deletion" should be allowed only for Admin. But that's just my
opinion.

StormChaser IS admin.


Sorry I didn't see he's an Admin. I didn't mean it that way.

Sorry too, I put it a bit rudely… maybe should have added a smiley or something



   So if
marking for deletion is allowed only for Admin that's ok so. I thought that
everybody can mark it like that. Thank you all very much for your help and explanation,
I really appreciate it.

Anybody can ask whatever but only admins can accept or decline requests. Otherwise,
it would be a fine mess
So, if something was done, it was obligatory done by an admin. And admins usually
don’t do anything stupid.

The catalogue has some inconsistencies but they are worked upon. And, without
discrediting the other admins, StormChaser is cleaning tornado.

As you can see with these minifigs, a lot have been marked for deletion without
anyone doing anything about them (like sellers keeping selling them while they
shouldn’t). Just putting that big mark should (and already has) wake(n) them
up.

Not.
The hinge brick and the hinge plate always came separated.


  and I need
the ability to add this part to my store inventory in a new state […]

This assembly can’t be New: you have assembled the parts yourself, that’s the
definition of Used.
