Catalogues of Numismatic Collections
For inventories of numismatic collections, it is important to have specific boxes for the collector name and first name (so “Collector’s first name” and “Collector’s name”).
- I don't quite understand. Catalogues of Numismatic Collections, we have the field Author: e. g. Inventario di stabili, Medaglie, Libri lasciati dal già Ecc.mo S;r Gio. Batta. Capponi al Pio Ospedale di S. Maria della Morte mediante il suo ultimo testament rogato p. il S. Filippo Carlo Dal Chierico li 20 agosto 1675. Why would we need a first and last name separately? --Bkrabina (talk) 16:46, 19 August 2019 (CEST)
Map of persons
For the map of persons, it would be nice to have a booleian option for “keywords”. To get the “Jesuits” who are also “poets” (and not all the “jesuits” and all the “poets”
- done for Persons and Map of Persons --Bkrabina (talk) 16:51, 19 August 2019 (CEST)
Persons
1) To create a field for every reference in the text. Now, as you click on Gotlzius for example, you get the 3 letters written by him but not the many dozens ofletters where he is duly reference. It is important in my mind to create a specific field "Reference" below "Work".
2) To leave the possibility to download more than one image (I said up to 10 in my preceding mail; I now think that up to 5 could be a good measure).
3) to create a field for "Primary literature": i.e. printed work written by the concerened person.
4) to create a filed for "Secondary literature": i.e. recent scholarly literature devotedto the concerend person.
5) make the line indicating the space between birth and death less bold and, ideally, with an arrow giving the direction (we may refine with a line starting in gree and ending in red but that is possibly due to my notorious kitsch attraction).
Correspondence
1) to create a box for "Numismatic keywords": so, we could easily gather all the correspondence related to the Ptolemies, Pertinax or the contorniates for example.
2) for associated people, to help with an automatic search in the names already created as it si the case for names of places of persons (it will save me a lot of time).
Timeline
1) The timeline for persons is so busy that it is barely useful as such. And indeed with an expected total amount of people above 1,000, we will have nearly one hundred at any time...
Maps
1) to create a box for "keywords" for the map of persons
2) to modify the black icons for one case in a green coherent with the general progression used by wikipedia: green-yellow-orange-red.
3) to somehow downscale these icons for just one case (but it should be apparent as well...).
4) Map for brith and death places: take all the evidence into account. Again, if so, the general view will be overcrowded but the intersting thing is to play with the timeline.
Graphism
It would be much nicer to reduce the size of the images used for single items (pen and letter) and to modify the colour (I propose green since that is the scale of progression used otherwise: green-yellow-red). As they are (large and in black), single items are now attracting the eye more than they should.
