    United Kingdom

    During a meeting with a Delcampe staff member earlier this year, I was told that they like to see subcategories if there are more than about 500 items for a particular town/subject.

    Following this guideline, I have requested new categories for Devon, Cornwall, Hants, Warwickshire, which were recently introduced.

    I have just had a look at the rest of the counties and am proposing the following:

    Isle of Wight>Ventnor
    Kent>Rochester
    Lincolnshire> Lincoln
    Shropshire> Shrewsbury
    Somerset>Minehead
    Sussex>Arundel
    Sussex>Chichester
    Worcestershire>Malvern
    Yorkshire>Whitby

    and I would like to receive as many opinions as possible on London>Central London.
    I think we could have the following sub categories:
    Buckingham Palace
    Piccadilly Circus
    River Thames
    Westminster Abbey
    Houses of Parliament
    Trafalgar Square
    St. Paul's
    Tower of London

    If there are any other towns/areas that you think could have their own sub category, please make it known before I make my next request.

    Thank you.

    Looks good to me too - some of the categories have obviously grown since I proposed the last round of expansions

    Not too sure about OP's suggestion of Wirral though - there are several towns/villages on the Wirral which may have cards but which sit just as easily in Cheshire, and after all, the Wirral is just a geographical bit of that county

    I agree with you and am happy to request new categories for those towns as well.

    That's the reason why I started this thread - so that other sellers can have an input.

    I will not finalize my request until the end of next week. Hopefully we'll get some more comments before then.

    I am very reluctant to start categories for areas, rather than individual towns.

    When going through Devon I considered Dartmoor and Exmoor, but decided against it.

    Areas are difficult things to manage, as there is often little agreement on what a particular area should or shouldn't cover - for instance, when does 'Dartmoor' become 'not Dartmoor'?

    We've already had problems with 'new' counties like Cumbria which embraces two former counties and parts of two others, and Avon which has come and gone

    We need to think very carefully about introducing too many categories - sure, quite a good number of sellers have knowledge of what should go where, but as you know all too well, there are lots of sellers out there who either don't know or don't care where cards should be placed, and we run the real risk of making an enormous stick to beat our collective Moderators' backs with if we introduce too many 'minor' categories - at least with only one category we know that things will probably be in the right place although I'm sure there's someone out there just waiting to prove that theory wrong too!

    By and large though, the responses I've seen so far are pretty good

    I absolutely agree with you. It is not as if we have an army of moderators to deal with it.
    I spend about half an hour a day checking categories (and occasionally much longer) and I don't feel that I am getting anywhere.

    As far as Cumberland/Westmorland is concerned: Would it make sense to have that category renamed as Cumbria? (don't shoot, if I'm touching a raw nerve, please :oops:) The reason being, that I often find cards with Cumbria in the title that are listed in England>O&U (from sellers that generally list in the correct categories).

    As far as Essex is concerned: How about renaming Southend on Sea to "Southend, Westcliff and Leigh" and dropping the "on Sea" bit?

    Finally, what are other people's views on Bournemouth? As it is at the moment we have Hants>B'mouth pre 1972 and Dorset>B'mouth post 1972.
    For starters that date is wrong. Although it was a 1972 act of parliament that created those changes, the changes only came into effect on 1-4-74. When I ploughed my way through Dorset as far as Bournemouth listings is concerned, the situation was as follows: Hants>B'mouth 40 odd listings; Dorset>B'mouth 180 odd items and Dorset>O&U 1500+ items. It doesn't make any sense to have 2 categories that are not being used.
    My suggestion is to drop the date, but leave categories in both counties - that way sellers can decide for themselves whether they want to list under Hants or under Dorset.

    Hah! I'm having such trouble with my knee today that I'm currently doped up on painkillers, so I wouldn't feel it if you poked my nerve with a needle!

    As you know, I am a bit of a purist when it comes to vintage cards and vintage counties, and do prefer to see cards listed under the counties they were in at the time of issue. If you start introducing Cumbria then what about Cleveland, Humberside, Avon, West Midlands, all the Welsh counties and the Scottish regions? It could be an almighty can of worms

    Bournemouth is a bit awkward as it is one of the few moving towns named in the categories. I prefer to see it listed under Hampshire but I'm quite prepared to 'go with the flow' if others want to relocate it (that's the medication kicking in again!)
    but remember there are other towns (like Warrington or Slough) just waiting to trip you up

    My guess is if you asked 100 people to define 'The City' the vast majority would be unable to give you a decent answer

    I think it is already adequately covered with Central London, but there again, when does Central London become London Suburbs? We need clearly-defined boundaries, not subjective named areas

    Africa end at eastern border of Egypt so Israel can't be part of that continent, but the creation of a Middle east category would solve many problems

    The United Nations categorization includes Egypt in the Middle East so you are creating one problem whilst solving another, and interestingly the term is used to encompass North Africa and Western Asia, so technically it is correct to place it in Asia!

    Confused? You will be...

    "What do we do with Ilford (27) & Romford (31) listed as Essex and Ilford (15) and Romford (8) listed under London? "

    The problem with towns that have changed counties such as Bournemouth, Slough, Abingdon, etc. is that there are some sellers who wish to list them under the old county and others who list them under the current county.

    Xtf and myself are in disagreement on this point, so I will leave them where they are, as long as they are in one of the 2 correct counties, i.e I won't move Slough as long as it's in Bucks or Berks.

    All the countries on Delcampe are categorized in their continent. It would be madness to introduce "an area", that has countries from 2 different continents in it.

    Thanks for the suggestions.
    Worthing and Weston s M already had their own categories.
    Warwick and Torquay were added last week.

    As I've already said in a previous post, I don't really want to start creating categories for areas, such as Dartmoor, Exmoor, etc., which also illiminates New Forest and the Broads.

    As far as the others are concerned, some are definitely yes, but some of them really haven't got enough items listed to justify a category in their own right.

    I've carefully looked at all the suggestions made in this thread and those that have been sent to me directly and I've asked for the following new categories.

    Postcards>Europe> United Kingdom

    Channel Islands>Sark
    Channel Islands> Herm

    And for England:

    Bedfordshire > Bedford
    Berkshire > Windsor > Windsor Castle
    Cambridgeshire > Ely
    Cornwall > Falmouth
    Cornwall > Land's End
    Devon > Clovelly
    Devon > Paignton
    Essex> Colchester
    Essex > Clacton on Sea
    Herefordshire > Hereford
    Isle of Wight > Cowes
    Isle of Wight > Sandown
    Isle of Wight - Ventnor
    Kent > Rochester
    Lincolnshire > Lincoln
    London > Central London > Buckingham Palace
    London > Central London > Piccadilly Circus
    London > Central London > River Thames
    London > Central London > Westminster Abbey
    London > Central London > Houses of Parliament
    London > Central London > Trafalgar Square
    London > Central London > St. Paul's Cathedral
    London > Central London > Tower of London
    Shropshire > Shrewsbury
    Somerset > Minehead
    Sussex > Arundel
    Sussex > Chichester
    Wiltshire > Stonehenge
    Worcestershire > Malvern
    Yorkshire > Whitby

    Finally, would it be possible to rename Essex > Southend on Sea to become "Southend, Westcliff & Leigh"?


    Thank you everyone for your contributions. If I haven't picked up on your suggestions, it's either because there weren't enough cards to justify a new category or it would just have been too difficult to moderate.

    Once we have those new categories I will have a careful look at Wales and Scotland.

    The new categories have now been added and I will start working on them slowly.
