Thanks Birgit!

I actually did a couple of updates/additions and then crossed my fingers for one of your quick edits so I could follow along with the rest, but soon figured out you must be on break :) I hope I didn't leave you too much work to do. I also left all the dates alone for the reason you mentioned - the range of distributors also often meant a range of dates, so I was a bit afraid to alter them.

Workbasket Ads

I have a half dozen back issues of The Workbasket that include ads for various mail order patterns available. I can see that some patterns from these magazines have been added with their ad photos -

Is that okay to do? I don't have the actual pattern, just the ad pages.

At least one (maybe more?) of these patterns are listed as "Mail Order xxxx" rather than "Workbasket xxxx" when they're listed in the database, but Workbasket is then listed as the source in the page's text. Which is the 'correct' way to list these?

An example of both the ad page and Mail Order rather than Workbasket: https://vintagepatterns.fandom.com/wiki/Mail_Order_4539_A

Thanks!
