(My first time amending the catalogue, hopefully correct)

I'm not an expert in any kind of coins, but I reckon I'm good at research and will do my best to help. Feel free to tell me my identifications/valuations/gradings are wrong. It's the only way I'll learn.

Quote: "BizzoDoes"Decagonal done.
Also includes Tetra-decagonal, which I changed to "Tetradecagonal (14 sided)"
With the exception of:
https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces52974.html
Coin is round, has the word "decagon" in the description, not changed.
Also nonagon done
Apologies if I come across as a bit pedantic but "Tetradecagonal (14 sided)" is tortology (saying the same thing twice) - see what I did there

I'll be a pedant too, and say I thought it was tautology!
I have done most of the Octagon - most did not need validating but
there are 14 that referees need to look at; so though some may still currently show as not
looked at, it is because not yet authorised. Algeria [1], Germany [11], Spain [2].
EDIT: All Germany 11 now accepted, so just the 3 of Algeria plus Spain left.

Ouch! I walked into that one!

Sorry, couldn't resist being a bit of a brat there.
When I was doing the changes I saw that some had "Dodecagon (12 sided)" and "Tetradecagon (14 sided)" etc, and thought it was a good idea. Not everyone knows what a tetradecagon is, but most will be able to count the sides on their coin. Also searching for a word like that could introduce spelling/typo issues.
So searching for 12 or 14 sided will also bring up the coins.
I'm only trying to help.

I think using the most simple terms will yield better results, because an erudite will think tetradecagonal, and if that doesn't work, then they will try 14 sided. Someone who is not at that level of education, or maybe doesn't speak the language very well, on the other hand, will never think of using tetradecagonal. It is the same with the triangular ones: not everyone knows what a Reuleaux triangle is, so triangular, plain and simple, will do the trick.
Quote: "Jarcek"Thanks! Although I think It should have been in different thread.
Jaecek, are you referring to the ones I just did? If so, I got this list from the very first message you started on this thread. I am not sure if there is another thread going on.
Oh, sorry, I thought you were working on missing lettering. (People there were responsing as you did here). I will remove the Triangular task then. Thanks and sorry for confusion.

I think it was because I was copying and pasting in bold the URLs. I was doing that so that you know which ones were done, just in case I wasn't able to finish all of them for some reason.
Having such tasks outsourced help us (The Team) to focus on more problematic issues.
