Dear Santa,

I have a wish someone finally validate my requests for adding new commemorative coins for Ukraine (would be nice also to validate updates to bullion coin, but it's not so critical).
The process of adding new coins is blocked for 4+ months and writing a private messages to Jarcek & druzhynets didn't help.
From point of view of simple user is unclear why adding a new record into DB is as complex as building a rocket/plane and requires so much time for execution.
As a food for thought, it would be nice to revisit this functionality and maybe implement it as 2 steps process : at first step any user with membership of N+ years and M+ successful catalogue contributions and P+ coins/banknotes in a collection (to eliminate spam) could do initial review for any pending requests and after successful validation changes become visible on site. On second step master referee for specific country do final review and revert or approve the changes.
This will help to grow bigger and more mature community, speed up appearance of new items/updates to items and decrease load on referees.

Sincerely yours,
ArsenEverlast
The idea in itself is good, but what happens, if the referee turns down the change request, how can he set the changed parts back to their origin?
