  I'm noticing my "large" images for these items are showing up as being credited
to other contributors.

Russell would indeed be the person to answer this, but in many cases it comes
down to the way the system is designed. On this, for example:

 
Part No: 970c86pb02  Name: Hips and Light Bluish Gray Legs with Chain Mail Pattern
* 
970c86pb02 Hips and Light Bluish Gray Legs with Chain Mail Pattern
Parts: Minifigure, Legs, Decorated

The legacy image is from hazelsden. The color image is from you. The color
image is shown as the primary image, which is why you are credited with the large
image. The legacy image also exists, which is why it is shown as an additional
image and the small image is credited to hazelsden.

It's all rather confusing, even to me, but I don't believe it is the
result of either human error or database corruption.

  And I'm credited for these "small" images which aren't mine...and no
idea whose they are.

Those I cannot explain.

An anonymous person would like the following information added for review:

The additional note for
[s=yoda-1]
is too bloated since most of that information is included in the help page for
the "Cannot be Inventoried" flag. I suggest simplifying it to just "This set
is a glued model." or getting rid of the note entirely and adding "(Glued Model)"
to the set name.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The additional note for
 
Set No: 8597  Name: Kanohi Nuva & Krana Pack {International Version} polybag
* 
8597-1 (Inv) Kanohi Nuva & Krana Pack {International Version} polybag
5 Parts, 2002
Sets: BIONICLE: Supplemental
is unnecessary since the set name includes "polybag" and the set relationships
includes the other set. I suggest removing the note entirely.

  There are two versions of this part where the small hole by the base varies
in location, mirrored left or right side.

If you'll post a comparison picture, then I'll add an additional note
to the part mentioning the difference and also add this part to our list of known
variants.

  So open mouth is ... mad face?

Weird ... ok then.

I did not title this figure. The person who titled the figure was a person who
had the figure in hand to see what the face actually looks like. Titles can
easily be changed and if you feel that the current title does not accurately
describe the figure, then please request a title change using this form:

  Not sure what needs to happen but ... that minifig should be changed.

These are pending and have been for some time:

[M=sw986]
[M=sw987]
[M=sw988]

What needs to happen is that someone needs to upload pictures so the figures
can be approved.

Please make changes to the following inventory:
 
Set No: 9397  Name: Logging Truck
* 
9397-1 (Inv) Logging Truck
1308 Parts, 2012
Sets: Technic: Model: Traffic

* Add 1 Part 32523pb12 White Technic, Liftarm 1 x 3 Thick with 'UW 9397' Pattern (Sticker) - Set 9397 (Counterpart)
* Add 2 Part 32348pb012 Black Technic, Liftarm 1 x 7 Bent (4 - 4) Thick with Black and Yellow Danger Stripes Pattern Facing Center (Sticker) - Set 9397 (Counterpart)
* Add 2 Part 32348pb011 Black Technic, Liftarm 1 x 7 Bent (4 - 4) Thick with Black and Yellow Danger Stripes Pattern Facing End (Sticker) - Set 9397 (Counterpart)

Comments from Submitter:
Hello, friends. My name is Robert (which is a pseudonym) and I approved these catalog entries as a catalog administrator. Before I approved them I verified their existence with the set instructions.

"But, Robert," I hear you saying, "How the heckfire can we know that you didn't make an error? We've noticed that you're prone to them, you know."

Oh, so that's how it is? You want to be that way? Fine, then, go and look for yourselves. You can find the white liftarm being stickered and added on page 32 of the set instructions (the 1st of three instructions books).

The black liftarms are part of the crane assembly and they are added in the third book on page 41. Now I'm off to do something different, but don't think I won't be watching like a hawk to make sure these change requests are approved or whatever.

  Is it a sufficient prove to update the catalog with "my" size and weight?

If we're talking about proof, then the only proof would be to measure and
weigh the actual item from 2013. Measuring/weighing your item and then changing
the dimensions/weight of another item which you believe to be the same based
on a poor-quality catalog photo is not proof, but only conjecture.

However, you are welcome to submit change requests if you'd like and I'll
consider them. Perhaps someone reading this can confirm these dimensions for
the existing catalog entry?

  my parts for
the Watch are not the same weight and size as catalog items.

  it look like my Watch from 2017 is smaller than watch from 2013

  What do you think?

I've changed the topic of your post from Catalog Requests to Catalog. The
requests topic is for when you're making a specific request that something
be changed which cannot be changed through existing forms. You do not appear
to making any requests, but only asking for an opinion.

My opinion is that one of two possibilities could be true:

1. Your watch and all its components are smaller. This seems unlikely, but
still possible. If true, all parts would need to be added separately.

2. The current dimensions and weights for the existing parts are incorrect.
If true, correct dimensions should be added.

The only way to know for sure what the reality is would be to have both items
in hand and physically compare them. If you're able to pick up the 2013
watch cheaply, then this is what I'd recommend before coming to any conclusions.

  I just added a more complete and correct entry of this part as 93273pb090. 93273pb089
is currently pending approval and should either be deleted or my submitted information
from 93273pb090 be transferred to the entry.

I've changed your post to the Catalog topic since the Catalog Requests topic
is for me to change something in the catalog. This pending part is not yet in
the catalog.

As for correcting it, you're definitely right - it does need plenty of correcting
before it can be approved. I will get to it eventually.

Since the other member submitted the catalog entry first, I'll probably approve
that submission after correction and remove your pending submission.

  Parts that are identified as being part of a set from the parts page did not show up
in the set's inventory page.

Those parts appear in the inventories of figures. You can click the Break Minifigs
button at the top of an inventory page to have all the figure parts appear along
with the other items in the inventory if desired.
