Pardon me for gloating a bit, but this is just too funny NOT to share. Over at the Commonwealth Stamps Opinion Blog there was a post about the CHOGM meeting being held in Kigali this month, and the fact that it will likely not be marked philatelically as Rwanda has not issued a postage stamp since 2010 commonwealthstampsopinion.blogspot.com/2022/06/2101-chogm-to-open-in-rwanda-but-no.htmlas part of the blog the owner created a "mockup" stamp for the upcoming meeting : Apparently, someone reading this blog who works with the Stampworld website did not quite completely read the full text of the blog, because this mockup stamp is now appearing on Stampworld's website www.stampworld.com/stamps/Rwanda/Postage%20stamps/g1489Now I will be the first to admit that Colnect has more than its fair share of misidentified stamps, wrong images and the like - that is the nature of a wiki-based production. But as I handle most of the new issue uploads, I can guarantee that I at least read a full blog post first before considering whether a stamp should be listed as a new issue. Again, sorry but this is just TOO funny not to point out.
