I was going to accept the changes, except for the "lettering note", but I ended up accepting all the changes and returning to what was previously.
However, there is an understanding that comments should be avoided in the field of lettering. Therefore, I will be returning to the suggestion made by Indomini16 on October 2nd. =)
Thanks for reporting here!
Best Regards, Vladimir.

It's not an understanding… and it should not be avoid, it's strictly prohibated! I'm very surprised to see that not all referees are aware of that very basic rule.
It surprise me how you allways seem to be surprised by the referees, you should not by now don't you think ? 😲
Why allways complain in the forums ? Follow the appeal process, as asked by Compendium repeatidly in different threads, and wait like everyone else do. If the Appeal process is not up to your expectations, maybe you should write private messages to the Numista team members (Xavier, Jarcek and Compendium) as asked by Compendium also. Why don't you follow the directions from Compendium when he ask you to do something… and stop the public bashing of referees and complain about the Appeal process. You are complaining about referees not following the guidelines but you are also not following direct instructions.
Again, why don't you become a referee yourself ? By now, you surely have acquired the knowledge and you look to have all the time needed on your hands.

I will surprise you, but I don’t always do, often I just accept referee decision.
In this particular case I didn’t think it was corrected afterward so no reason to appeal as I thought it was a bug, so no complain but just a bug report. Is that more clear for you?

This comment is not a bug report, it's just being rude to referees in general…as usual and very frequently. [Rest of the message deleted by moderators]

Same old story…public complaints about one or more referees or admins not doing enough according to your standards…like we are all stupid and we can't understand what is a language dependant field.
Again, you were ask to make CR and appeal if necessary but you continue to post your cases in the forum.
You're just a bully and I don't care what contributions you make here, if you don't change your manners, you should not get and don't deserve our cooperation.

You are not understanding me well, this comment is not against referees but how they are train to do their job.
I am not rude to referee here but worry about how they are supporte.
I feel I must make a comment here. I have a job, it is not being a referee for Numista. Being a referee for Numista is an extension of a hobby I enjoy doing. There was no training involved. With the help of all of the Numista team I continue to learn. If being a volunteer referee stops providing continued enjoyment to the hobby I enjoy then I will reconsider my involvement as a volunteer referee. For the most part I find your involvement helpful. If you don't get your way, I find it less helpful.
Just a reminder who and what a referee's JOB is.
Catalog referees
Referees are volunteers who commit their time and knowledge to coordinate the improvements to the catalog for specific issuers or groups of issuers. They review the changes in the catalog for the issuers in their scope and they improve the catalog by adding missing information and enforcing consistency to the catalog guidelines.
Totally agree with Québécois and JLHare. Being a referee at Numista is something that many of us do for the simple pleasure of collaborating (the best we know and can) and it is very easy to look for errors in the work done by others and then post them in the Forum.
With certain attitudes it is easier for some regular collaborators to become demotivated. I don't think it is the ideal way to improve the website.
This is my humble and personal opinion, without trying to bother anyone or detract from the work done by each and every one of us.
