The pictures were replaced with a proper (unaltered!) one, but may not show up
if you click on the large image in the forum post, even after a hard refresh.
It should show up in the entry though.

Great picture. Thanks!

And I like the title change for the entry marked for deletion. It certainly
makes the pending deletion much more attention-grabbing beyond just an additional
note.

Agreed. And maybe it should also say superseded by a new entry...

  
My only concern regarding the new sticker entry would be the additional note
which equates cm to stud measurement, which are two different measurements.

yes noticed that as well, but it's not the first time sheets are being mismeasured,
I noticed a couple of people submit in cm, in stead of stud dimensions. Why on
earth is it stud dimensipons anyway on stickersheets, you don't measure an
instruction or box either in 'studs'
But I assume it's because stickers are still considered 'parts' (sigh)
and it's the main configuration of 'parts' that sets the dimensions
to 'stud' size.

  
To RobErNat: I found that incomplete image on BrickShelf and did not have permission
to use it for a catalog entry. I only posted it so that people would know what
I was referring to.

Oh, OK, I thought it was yours
So good Maggie was around then, she found the ultimate 'gem' then I suppose

Cheers, Eric

Thanks for finding that, it makes the perfect "model" for what to say in the
notes!

Wasn't hard to find, as the note was added by either you or Ronald based
on my findings on that one

So it was just a matter of remembering where we had a similar case before


[P=BA06pb02]

Thanks !

now I need to remember another one

  Hmm, you would think, wouldn't you? I just had a look at the instructions,
and they only show the sticker being applied to one side. So to me it
is ambiguous, as it could be considered implicit that it is one both sides because
of the existence of the other sticker and the fact that the back of the assembly
is visible on the built stable.

Yes, I saw that as well, but to me it ain't conclusive as TLG did not always
indicate to put stickers both side (they only start doing that later on), but
when looking at other assemblies the same thing is 'suggestive'
[p=BA17pb01]

(I didn't check whether there are images showing both sides)

   If we don't get more concrete evidence one
way or another, we could add a note to the entry for sellers to indicate whether
they have the sticker on one or both sides.

Yes, that would be nice, something similar to:

So it's not really solving the matter
Why not add the picture you posted before?

http://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=975474

Obviously incomplete, but it's not the only sheet like that in catalog.

And, it could also be 'altered' quite easely

Hi Maggie,
Thanks for pointing towards it.
I cleared my browser history, logged off and in again, now it shows properly
for me (nice image btw), if others have the same error they might need to do
the same thing.

so problem solved on the image

While where at it
I have an unlisted
[p=BA06pb02]
However mine comes with stickers both sides (as there are 2 stickers on the sheet)

 
Part No: 6379stk01  Name: Sticker Sheet for Set 6379 - (190165)
* 
6379stk01 Sticker Sheet for Set 6379 - (190165)
Parts: Sticker Sheet

However the entry for the assembly does not say 'both sides' (stickers).
Another seller is also selling with stickers both sides.
Is it plausible this assembly should have stickers both sides.

Eric

  Why were these added as non-stickered versions? Do they exist that way?

Originally yes, they came undecorated with the stickers on a sheet. So they are
no different then more recent stickered minifigs.
So this is just a matter of building consitancy in the catalog, regardeless of
the fact whether it is usefull.

  Perhaps I was not clear enough on what is occurring.

I would've saved myself some extra work if I had given these reasons in my
initial post:

1. There is no accountability when multiple people use the same account
to make catalog changes/additions. Is it okay for me to give my password to
a handful of trusted BrickLink members so that StormChaser may be used as a group
account for catalog contributions? How will anyone know if it's me or RobErNat
submitting something to the catalog?

1. Thanks for (still) considering me as a trusted BL member I feel honered
reading that from you
2.It would only amplify the issue, as RobErNat technicly *might* be accessed
by 3 people if one checkes my 'ME' page

  
2. The person making catalog changes/additions does not get credit for
the contributions when multiple people use the same account for catalog work.

True

  
3. The Admin account being used was not originally a pool account to
the best of my knowledge. It was an account/username used exclusively by a single
person (Daniel Jezek). Therefore, nearly all of the catalog contributions currently
credited to Admin were made not by a collective, but by a single person.

True, and a long time ago, when Admin Eric became Admin I suggested to have a
clear seperation between Admin Dan's account and Admin Eric's account,
this was not done, and next Admins just kept using the same account...

  
4. Dan's contributions have a higher value, I would argue, than contributions
of others. They show his intentions for the site, among other reasons.

Agreed.

  
5. I hope that when I die BrickLink members will have the courtesy not
to use my account to make contributions to the catalog. I feel like it would
diminish the work I did while alive. This is a nice way of saying that I feel
it's morally wrong to use the Admin account to make any catalog contributions
whatsoever.

Personally I wouldn't mind if one day my son (for instance) would take over
my account (and technicly he is allowed, as he's being part of the username
since many years), but I would indeed be favorable to a clear 'break'
on contributions/owner runnings between more then one accountholder. Right now,
the BL system isn't set up for that however...
This issue has been raised in the past when SimplyBricks was Inventory Admin:
Simply Bricks is being runned by 2 people: Emma, the IA and Mike, the second
person behind the SimplyBricks account with his own opinions as a pretty regular
member, always clearly identified by his signature, but also always 'tagged'
as being an IA (because the ID card said so), while he was not...

  
I'm sure there are other reasons which I'm too tired to think of at the
moment.

Responsability, credebility, legacy.
Analyse everything on those words, and you'll have *all* the anwsers

This gets very tedious when I'm adding several hundred items to "my inventory"
from a purchase from another store.

(I don't sell, I just use the "tore" to track my personal collection and
what I but, from whom and at how much.)

PS: Is there an easier way to bulk add items from an order into my inventory?

Sure
Use Brickstock, import your order, edit it, reupload in your store, takes about
2 minutes (depending on how much you wanna edit it).
make regular full backups of your store with Brickstock and keep the BSX files
safe

Forgot to say, if you use Brickstock, you need to use 'demo' mode and
you will need to setup your Bricklink access (username and password) in Brickstock
to make it work.
