As far as I can see the only way to look up the catalogue entry for a store product
is to click the image then the catalogue reference - it is not at all obvious,
I even forget from time to time.

  I made 9 additons for the Lego Friends set 41426. All counterparts with uploaded
images, because of stickers.
(e.g. 22886pb26)
They are now pending for 2 weeks, so I can't add them to the set inventory.
As these are my first entries, I was wondering if I missed a step for the approval
to go forward. Or there is simply nobody around with the same set for the approval?

Thanks

Hello,

Thanks for contributing! Catalog submissions are approved by our admin and they
only have so much time to go around. It is normal to wait several weeks at least
for stickered counterparts to be added. (Priority is given to new parts and sets,
understandably.) A quick search of the word 'sticker' in the log of pending
items returned about 400 results. So, I would be a bit patient here if I were
you.

I looked over your submissions and they look pretty good! There are a couple
things I would recommend just from my experience as a submitter:

1. Some of these parts are missing the word Pattern.
2. When possible, try to describe the colors accurately using LEGO colors as
your guide. For instance, you use the word Green several times. Is it Green,
Bright Green, or Lime? The admin are going to need to confirm.
3. The sticker on 87544pb100 is quite crooked. If it were me, I would carefully
remove, dust off, and reposition this one.

Good luck!
~Jen

Lol reading this I'm so surprised that my submissions took only 2 days (I
must have lucked out).

  Hello everyone,

As of today, we have promoted BrickLink member Turez (Jonas) from Catalog Associate
to Catalog Administrator. In practical terms, this means he will now have full
privileges on both sides of the catalog, governing both the entries themselves
and the inventory system which connects them:

https://www.bricklink.com/v3/member/community_experts.page

Jonas has done excellent work during this past year in his catalog-side-only
position, quickly masterning all the various functions in what has often been
called a "minefield" environment.

Of particular interest to him is the process of getting all the set entries added
to the database at the correct time (and with the correct details of course),
which involves staging them as pending items and doing research as to when each
set will be released:

https://www.bricklink.com/catalogListOld.asp?itemPend=Y&catType=S

The scheduled release date is usually added to the item name on a pending entry.
As you can see, we are on the verge of a huge upload of new sets. June 1 is typcially
the single busiest release date besides January 1.

We are very pleased to have such great talent on our team. So join me in welcoming
Jonas to this new position!
