Thomas de La Rue's first banknote [Risolto]

I've read that Thomas printed his first banknote in 1860, for Mauritius. But it cannot be found in the country's list, so what's the deal here?

Someone needs to add it.

I think the country's referee must do the job!

The referee's job is to check what is in the catalogue and revise additions other members make. It is YOUR duty to do some work and make a page for this note taht you found missing … especially if you can yourself a “notaphilist” on your profile page …

I think this is enough that I indicated a highly important note unlisted that no one even knew was missing.

I can ping @Pcoetzee5 , but there is nothing to be done from me as database structure admin.

Good morning

I have never added a printer to the list of printers.  If I am not wrong, we select it from a list, so it is in the backrgound.

No printer .. the OP just wants someone else to add this banknote (that he does not even indicate which one it is) to the catalogue. Apparently he has done enough work figuring out that something is missing 😣

As we don't even know what banknote it's about, no need yet to have an admin add any printer 🙄

Thanks for the comment BramVB.

Thegamesbond, if I do not have information on the note, I can not add it.  The system is set up so MEMBERS can add missing pieces.  So, since you know which notes are missing, please feel free to add them.  I do not own them, so can not add them.  And it is not my job to research missing notes to add them.

And what's the need of the referees again? If everything can be done by any user then it's incomprehensible that what a referee would do? I not only notified of what was missing but did the hard part of getting the picture and now I must do the rest? Sure I'll do it but then I should be the referee also!

Among others, they are the first line of defense against members duplicating existing items.

I have the feeling that there is a slight miss conception as to what the referee does.  You can see it like a cricket match.  The Umpire, or in the case of cricket, the 2 Umpires, do not play the match, they just make sure it is all according to the rules.  The Referee is the umpire for the catalogue.  We make sure that when members, like yourself, upload new listings, that it is according to the rules.  We make sure that they are not a double listing, photos from non authorized sources, and that the information is complete, ar at least as complete as possible.

As far as you wanting to be a referee, I know that Admin is constantly looking for more refrees.  If you want to, contact the guys from Admin and offer your services.  They will be delighted to hear you are willing to support the catalogue, not by only uploading missing items, but by making sure what is uploaded is eligible.

More than two weeks already 😁

If he now can provide some source for the printer (TDLR), he would at least be able to edit the printer (and as such get to three edits on numista!!! 🥳). In a quick google search I did not find a source to add it myself 😔

Why not, but please first learn how do some edits and additions to the catalogue and learn to use it. The responsability of the referee is to maintain law and order …

It is supposed to be 1860 so perhaps the year is incorrect there?

Perhaps. Looks like 1860 to me but SCWPC reports it as 1866 too.

It is the job of a referee to also seek to complete their part of the catalog but it is only part of their responsibilities.

What are the duties of a referee?
