  I agree with you, however, I have the same problem as Marek. I already use an
online dictionary and look for existing similar pattern in the catalog when submitting
new parts, but sometimes that does not help either. In the case of the two liftarms,
I found stickered parts from set 42082 which are also only named "Warning Sign
(#1/#2)". And to be honest, I don't want to spend half an hour to find a
description for a single stickered part. For example, I wouldn't even know
how to call that in German:
 
Part No: 60483pb004  Name: Technic, Liftarm Thick 1 x 2 - Axle Hole with Warning Sign 2 Pattern (Sticker) - Set 42054
* 
60483pb004 Technic, Liftarm Thick 1 x 2 - Axle Hole with Warning Sign 2 Pattern (Sticker) - Set 42054
Parts: Technic, Liftarm, Decorated
Without any technical background, that looks like a bunch of French fries to
me.

Having said that, I think I will stick to use numbers when I really have no idea
for a better naming and the only alternative would be not to submit the part
at all. But of course you (or anyone else) are welcome to change them to a more
specific description whenever you want and maybe I can learn something from it.

Jonas

It is a guy who is being smacked in the guts with a bar because he stood where
he shouldn't. It is perhaps a "Line of Fire Warning".

might it be better to have the sticker number
instead of 1 and 2. At least that way, there is a method to it.

Unfortunately in those two above sticker number is the same

  I have a masterful command of the English language (no Polish sadly) and I have
no idea how to describe those blue ones where someone who was looking for them
would find them.

For those particular parts, a difference that could be identified in the titles
would be:

Triangle Facing Model Left
Triangle Facing Model Right

For the two Technic liftarms the actual warnings displayed on the stickers could
be described in the title.

For the modified tiles, the images are too small to even see clearly. So the
difference between those particular parts would need to be determined by looking
at the sticker sheets.

But the point is that we should all try to move away from this pattern 1/pattern
2 practice whenever possible. And I'm sure that if someone looks back through
stuff I've added that I've done it, too.

I once submitted a torso something like Torso I seriously have no idea pattern.
Admin must have fixed it, but I don't remember what it was now.

It was this one
