There are dozens of minifig heads that are produced in other non standard colours,
known as test prints.
Produced in batches and given away by Lego which then make their way into the
market.

  I’m also aware of the rare white head Jek-14, would it be worth adding a new
minifig variant to the catalog?

Couldn't it be test print only?

I have one in my collection and have been confused for years. I have been searching
for information about it but have found none. I originally thought it was a
head to another minifigure completely but it pops up on bricklink under jek.
You have to piece him out and look up just his head but the white variant is
present.

Does anyone know any information on this head or where it came from?

Yeah, that cross plate was NOT in the list before; I'm certain. Also the
Arch name change; they literally had a statement on that page a couple days ago
saying that no category name changes or additions would be approved.

Hopefully the new method that Stormchaser has mentioned will help with this confusion.

I've seen some with 2 but rarely any with 3. Also, does anyone have an opinion
if they should stay or be removed? Because I would much rather a cleaner, simple

only have 1 or 2 sets.

Was it not originally announced that there would be some time for sellers and
anyone else to prepare for these changes? How will that work if the final list
is just published right on the day when the changes are made?

And am I seeing it right that there are some additions (especially the category
changes) which were not part of the original list that was published one month
ago? Despite the fact that it was said there would not be any additions to that
list after March 1st?

Please don't get me wrong, I very much appreciate all the time and effort
you and anyone who is involved are putting into this changes. But with that final
(and rather short) list it feels a bit like a missed opportunity and (regarding
the points mentioned above) yet another instance of bad communication. I am therefore
glad that you will adjust the procedure next time.

As for the changes themselves, I'm fine with them with one exeption: I would
suggest to not move
 
Part No: 15397  Name: Plate, Modified 3 x 3 Cross
* 
15397 Plate, Modified 3 x 3 Cross
Parts: Plate, Modified
and
 
Part No: 73831  Name: Plate, Modified 2 x 3 with 1 x 1 Cutout
* 
73831 Plate, Modified 2 x 3 with 1 x 1 Cutout
Parts: Plate, Modified
to "Plate, Modified" as long as
 
Part No: 2420  Name: Plate 2 x 2 Corner
* 
2420 Plate 2 x 2 Corner
Parts: Plate
has to stay in "Plate". I don't care whether these three parts are in "Plate"
or in "Plate, Modified" but it makes absolutely no sense and creates even more
inconistency to have them in different categories.
