I've noticed over the years that some coin pages without pictures may have a Numista index of lower than 80. I always add a pic if this is the case since I photograph every coin I get but what's the chances of instead, when a page is created without pics automatically instead of nothing we have "image required" or something along those lines ? I know it may not reap a lot of gains but it may just work to make some members build the quality of the catalogue.

To not allow a sheet to be created just because it lacks pictures is not a good idea, I reckon. But I reckon it would be fit to have a category in the main forum titled "pictures needed", where we track down the coin sheets which don't have a picture.

I recently deleted a picture, since it was showing the wrong coin. I have asked for pictures here.

Or maybe display a message when you visit a coin page without pictures and you have that coin.
"If you are in possession of this coin please consider providing Numista with pictures of it and make Numista's catalog a bit better"

When I have it, I always try to add a pic. I just asked for a missing pic for a Zurich Schilling coin.

That would be great. I think you could open an own thread for this.

No, I mean just instead of there automatically being no pictures that image needed or something be there from the start.

I get what you mean. If there has not been a image uploaded, then display a place holder like this for example. A clear place holder yet Numista branded (Like the watermark style diagonal "Numista.com" I have included, to make sure no claim can be made regarding that image), this enables the same placeholder to be default until a certified image has been added.

Hi
I dont understand, - what a sense in it? If there is no image, it means that image required.
And, if someone have that coin, and also have a wish to spend some minutes and upload own image, he will do it with pleasure.
So, I dont see a sense of this modification. Better to create a separate button " required images" where members could find which images are missing by countries.

Exactly like that fluke.

I dont see where you're losing my train of thought David. There's shit loads of members who have certain coins which don't have images in the catalogue. They couldn't give a toss because they just want to know they have it in future weather it has a picture on the numista file or not is irrelevant. I think having the picture fluke made as a default for no image added would or could spur someone to take that couple of minutes to photograph the coin when they've probably just got it and are cataloging it.

I dont lost it :)
I just say that those who want to make contribution and take pictures for Numista catalog, they will do it anyway. I dont think this image will stimulate someone to make photo and upload it. Because there is no any bonus for it, just personal pleasure to see complete coin page.
but , I agree with You at all, - probably in low per cent it would work .
so, my +1 vote
Yours

There are plenty of members who will browse pages but wont actually think to add an image. Not everybody is willing to take the small amount of time it will take to upload the image there and then. This might give them a little shove to take the effort.

There are many things that people already "know" has to be done, doesn't mean they will do it. But there is more of a chance if they are reminded in a subtle manner.

Is there a way to search all pages that have no images? I could source royalty and copyright free images if I do not have them myself.

To deny a page to be created simply due to a lack of a picture is a travesty, especially when verifiable source information is provided for.

My suggestion is to allow for such a page to be created, and to send a notification out to numistic user that are intersted in said area of coins, in hopes they can obtain a picture.

in order to find what numismatic user are interested in, a page should be created on the user page in which said user selects what coinage interest them (country, year range, metal, etc) , and what they are knowledgeable in ( using a rating scale) thus said user we be more willing to contribute since it serves their self interest.

For example an Archeologist may only be interested in ancient Celtic coinage, thus said user will have a lot of source material and access to said coinage, and thus is more willing to contribute and edit said coinage.

Superagentman, the pages will still be created, only instead of no photo it will have a "coin photo needed" place holder. I vote for this.

Taking a break from swapping for a while, but still interested in pre 1799 Spanish coins, I will make time for that!

Page will only be created and shared with the public if the admin / moderator approves. Apparently if no picture is provided, then the page is not approved thus it is not shared to the public. I was told this is a rule.

This is a really bad idea. Many people may have coins that they can identify, but are not nice enough to take a picture of to show in the catalog. I am speaking here mostly of Hammered coins, ancient, Medieval coins. Even modern ones from China, Tibet, Nepal fall in that category.

If they are in such a condition that one can identify them they should also be worth putting in the catalog if nothing better is available

I have already submited coins from catalogues for which I have no photos, as I do not own the right to them. I do not know why that should be bad in any way. If I had the photos, I would never hesitate to add them.

Well some of the Numista Referees (without naming names) believe that if you do not have a picture to accompany a new page / coin being added to the website, then it will not be made available to the general public to view.

I know some ones like this in the French side. But this is understandable, as photos are a proof of quality in files they're managing.

If you are collector, the information of what you do NOT have is as much valueable as what you have.
So as I referee I have entered - and I encourage collectors of my referee era - to add coin sheets of non-owned coins as long as they have the correct catalogue references.
As these coins we do not have - unless they are an auction item or sold by a friendly website - by definition, we do not have the picture.
But in my taste it is still much better to have a coin on Numista with no picture, and hope for the best that some collectors grab it sooner or later, than not having it registered.

"Please help us by providing pictures for this coin" might be good. "Please upload this item pictures" doesn't sound like good English to me.
Otherwise is was a very nice pic for those without pic.

I think this idea is great, but that image has too much in it for my liking. Remember that the image will show up in search results and lists of coins by country.

Why not just a grey coin picture like now, only with the text IMAGE NEEDED (possibly with PLEASE HELP on the reverse)? That's how Wikipedia does it.

Like this one ...

Also have used it one the first few pages of the tokens section, on about a dozen
tokens so far - either with no or one picture. I cannot use it on any coin from
a country as it would need to be approved then by a referee, whereas it would
be quicker if the referees themselves did it directly.

The image would have to be uploaded every single time and take up quite a bit of serverspace. It would be more efficient to make the bilingual sign and ask Xavier to change the grey circle to this sign. The only problem with this I would see with uniface coins that often don't have a picture of the blanc side ... then the sign would look quite irritating (but that's its purpose I'd think

Hi Fluke, you can use the following command in the easy search bar to find all coins with no pictures: "/no-picture/". You can also put "/no-picture/ zambia" for example, to find all Zambian coins with no pictures.

There are two only referees and team members can use - /unverified/ and /incomplete/ that search for not verified coin sheets and year lists.

And several search lines in advanced search support the word "missing" .
I know it works with "shape". Did not try the others.

Also LOTR enthusiasts can find their "precious" in the metal field.

And penny hoarders their "non precious" love objects.

Hi,

Yes the idea is good, but I think it's better to chance actuel

by the image, without change evry pictures.

And the new picture is on page d'acceuil on Coins at random

it's not the best

I added the Dummy-Pictures in several coin sheets, but they all were rejected by the referee.

Perhaps you referees and team members should discuss this case and take a decision and let us users know what to do.

Feel free to add it (one French, one English) to the countries without referee, I will validate it.

Perhaps you referees and team members should discuss this case and take a decision and let us users know what to do.

Tell me by PM which referees rejected them, I'll have a talk with them.

Good cop, bad cop. You all see how nicely we have this divided between us.

Behave nicely!

To have a talk doesn't mean I will crush the concerned referees... or not

I guess not, but it was just stronger than me, I had to write that.

They are no lazy or bad guys. They only sayd: "I think it's not necessary, Thanks".

I added these Pics to the following sheets:

https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces16163.html
This Slovenian 30 € coin is from 2010. It is about time somebody add pics here.

https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces80936.html
This 2 € is not issued yet. This will happen within this year and this problem will be solved then.

Florino28 is the referee for Slovenia.
I pointet him to look here and he answered here and took part of the discussion with a suggestion which is not bad, i think (if i understand it right).

https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces82330.html
The Value side of the 2 Euro is ok, but i fear the user who has this coin (or will have it) and wants to add the obverse picture will let the reverse stay as it is. So we would have two totally different looking pictures and the reverse is not really the coin which is discribed on the sheet.

Whitegandalf is referee for Italy.

It is not that important. The 2 Euro coin Pictures will come as soon as the coins have been issued. It was the first time since we have this new Dummy-Pics i saw a sheet where i could use them and i tried it. I uploaded the English version for Obverse and the French for reverse.

I gave both referees enogh other requests to do and they validated all this. Thanks to both of them.

But i realized, this Thread here is not known by all the referees. And it seems there is not an agreement so far to use this Dummy-pictures.

nice greetings

Hmmm I don't think Whitegandalf is responsible in this case. Florino is a catalogue administrator for euro coins, and was granted the status of referee in all eurozone countries. As he already gave his opinion 2 days ago, I think it was a way to mark his opposition which didn't seem enough clear.

I understood he suggests to exchange this not very beautiful grey round which is implemented in the system and shown in the coin list into the Picrutes made by superagentman.
Perhaps i got him wrong. But if i got him right, i would say this is a good idea.

I would love to see this taken on by the rest of the catalogue. I will be using one English one french for the pictures for now to allow maximum participation !

Mark240590 and I have modified the "No pictures" pictures to remove the outline border on the English picture, and standardize the fonts. See below.

Thanks, Nathan

Xavior, for the sake of God spare the human suffering, it's just a basic database update statement.

I just changed the placeholder for missing pictures into the following:

or in French:

This placeholder also appears when viewing the coin. The previous placeholder used to show up only in the list of search results.

I think adding a picture should be mandatory.

I am the only one when looking japanese, arab or any non-romanized charecters coin does it only looking the image instead the description?

We call them weapons in there.
You can let this brick fall from 4th floor and it goes back to life after you bring back battery.

I once threw my Nokia 1112 full force into a wail when I got particularly angry. Took 30 minutes to fully bring it back to life, and the screen got cracked a bit and was a good deal fainter after that, but otherwise it worked just fine for the next few months.
Eight or so months later, we found an unused Nokia 1112 at a friends' house. Took the screen and some inner workings from that one, the rest from the old one (including the battery, IIRC); I still use the resulting combination today (nearly five years later).

Back to topic.
Is there a possibility to make a list of all coins that don't have pictures? There are plenty of websites that allow us to use their pictures and it would be easier to work on that without having to search for coin pages without pictures first. Thanks!

I'm not orange and also in other things I'm not a Donald at all. DonChori like Don Felipe or Doña María, por favor.

HERE you go.
But if the pictures above were used the coins will not show up in this list because they technically got pictures.
