Kev -

Yes, I can see where long filenames would need to be abridged when on-screen displaly space is limited (an accepted practice), but that's not the case with the three examples from above.

I went ahead and edited:

463152_Set??_Cloth_Headlining_Light-Tan

...to...

5582_Set-69_Cloth_Headlining_Light-Tan_463152

However, further investigation revealed that 463470 and 463651 are actually DUPLICATES of previously existing entries:

5588_Set-93_Top-Material_White-w-Green_463470

...and...

5588_Set-96_Top_Material_White%2FW-Red_463651

I'm not sure whether the more recent images, simply labeled as 463470 and 463651, are stray files that mistakenly found their way into the upload, and need to be deleted, but I can't do that.

EDIT (2/13/11) - After further investigation, I now realize that these two images are actually the reverse side of the two-sided fabric top materials as used on '55 Caribbeans and should be retained. A similar situation exists with 6487002 and 6487003 as used on '56 Caribbean convertibles. These images should be retained, but need some further identification.

Next, notice the odd character string, White%2FW-Red, in the color description of the last entry (for 463561). A quick check of a few gallery pages showed additional typos on several titles for these cards. However, I found one file:

5622-5642-5647-5662-5667-5672A-5677A_Set-12-22-32-42-52_Imitation_Leather_Sidewall_Dark-Blue_Hair_Ce

...which appears to be truncated, lacking the last several characters, "ll_6481117". I don't know whether this simply got cut-off at some point or field length is insufficient for the image title.

IMHO, the original editors for this project would be in a better position to review the online results, as their time permits, to spot anomalies and make corrections, as needed.
