I would like to request adding the demonetization date for the entire American-era Philippine coins (which are coins dated 1903 to 1945) to be March 31, 1979 as it is confirmed by a catalog admin and the date information came from a primary source which is essentially from the BSP (formerly the Central Bank) themselves.

The following coins below are the ones I request adding the demonetization date for. 

N#4354 - Half Centavo (1903-1908)
N#6696 - One Centavo (1903-1936)
N#6378 -  One Centavo (1937-1944)
N#4353 - Five Centavos (1903-1928)
N#16639 - Five Centavos (1930-1935)
N#16638 - Five Centavos (1937-1941)
N#4711 - Five Centavos (1944-1945)
N#15871 - Ten Centavos (1903-1906)
N#4352 - Ten Centavos (1907-1935)
N#4712 - Ten Centavos (1937-1945)
N#15872 - Twenty Centavos (1903-1906)
N#4351 - Twenty Centavos (1907-1929)
N#7513 - Twenty Centavos (1937-1945)
N#15873 - Fifty Centavos (1903-1906)
N#4350 - Fifty Centavos (1907-1921)
N#15858 - Fifty Centavos (1944-1945)
N#4349 - One Peso (1903-1906)
The One Peso small type from 1907 to 1912 already has the demonetization date of March 31, 1979 validated by a catalog admin and added into the catalog.

A few extras as they are constituted as coins from the year 1945 and below or Mule errors.

N#21142 - Five Centavos 1918 Mule
N#21143 - Twenty Centavos 1928 Mule 
N#21145 - One Peso 1936 Roosevelt and Quezon
N#21144 - 50 Centavos 1936 Commonwealth

Proof of demonetization date is found in the BSP Annual report 1975 and 1979, Links and page number are:

Numista is community driven site and you can register those modifications without raising ticket for site admins in forum.

Yes, I could do that, but the issue is that I don't want to bombard catalog referees with 20+ individual requests to add the same thing like a demonetization date. so I request them to add the demonetization date by entire series/era so that it is much easier to manage than individual requests.

By raising ticket you are bypassing referees and escalating to admins. Instead of distributing work load between referees, you are bombarding admins. Numista got fewer admins than referees

In my case, my requests regarding Philippine coins usually only go to one person who is a catalog admin due to no referees or master referees in that field.

So by doing 20+ individual requests then it is considered bombarding and considered as spam and it is more appropriate to raise a ticket for something regarding an entire series with 20+ items and it is not considered as spam because of the high number of items involved but rather a systematic request for change all in one request.

Hello,

 

it should really have gone through standard request process.

 

Reading sources for same one/twenty changes and confirming is way less time consuming than reading through this and solving a ticket.

Sorry if that's the case because i thought it would be more efficient to raise one ticket for 20 items from the series than 20 separate requests for each item from the series. and i thought that that would be considered spam if i do that.

No problem, there are more than 1900 requests as of now, so 20 more is really nothing.
