Hi REF: http://dmoz.org/Home/Gardening/Landscaping/Outdoor_Structures/Conservatories/ I notice that the three websites listed in this category all appear to be somewhat similar - perhaps even designed by the same people? So I did a Whois http://www.kessels.com/whois/ and it appears all three sites listed are registered to the same organisation. (Leveldisc Systems) They also to me, appear to be offering somewhat similar content and cross link with each other. (There are only three websites listed in CAT) As far as I'm aware this is spamming? Apologies if I have misunderstood By the way I recently submitted a site to this category. I can see the edi…

In This Category the site http://www.flash-design-marketing.com (title is flash-design-marketing.com) is a templatemonster.com affiliate. Not sure there is other content that might be considered unique (I didn't examine it fully). The content may have changed since the site was listed. I don't have editing privileges there or I'd take care of it myself.

The company below has many URLs all covering adventure travel/recreation. I haven't checked to see if all of their URLs are listed.

Reasons: 1) The site has been sold 2) Its content is pure rubbish (parking site) 3) There is no longer any link to the dancing Association mentioned in the ODP.

Would you please alter the description to my Software Project Management page? My page is a directory to all kinds of sites about project management, not just project management software packages, but the description makes it look as if it's primarily a list of software. URL - <removed> Currently - "Project software directory, includes news, books, and links." Desired - "A directory of resources about managing software projects, including project management methods, quality issues, risk management and financial appraisal." Thanks!

Hello, my former website which does not exist anymore for over 7 years now is still listed in the bookmark section of DMOZ. A lot of other pages use your directory and therefore when searching with google for my name this link with descriptions comes up several times even though the link leads to "page does not exist". I am talking about the last entry (http://www.geocities.com/conny1978/)at http://www.dmoz.org/Bookmarks/X/xx00xx/Menschen_und_Gruppen/C/ I have written to the editor several times but nothing happenes - and since this page has not been updated since 2002, it is unlikely that he even still cares or exists. As you can see for yourself, the last entry…

I help the HCFI Library and noticed that it is in the "Recreation: Autos: Enthusiasts: Antique: Clubs" category. The HCFI Library was a part of the Horseless Carriage Club but split off as a separate entity in 1985. How do I get the HCFI Library moved to a different category? I'm not seeing a "perfect match", perhaps Reference: Libraries: Research or a new category : Reference: Libraries: Subject Specific: Automotive. The Library's mission is: HCFI is Dedicated to making automobile research and restoration information readily available to hobbyists, restorers, and scholars world wide. Since this would be a new sub category it wouldn't have an editor. I know …

Hello Everyone. This is my first post in the QoS section, so please excuse the question if your more experienced audience find it already addressed somewhere else. The questions is Why don't DMOZ send out email confirmations. Please review this quote below from an editor regarding how long it takes to get listed on DMOZ: I researched this issue and am yet to find a single intelligent answer from any source of authority within DMOZ on why DMOZ as a "policy", do not use direct email confirmations for new submissions, status check, approval or even rejection of new listings. It seems to me that simply refusing to use this proven workflow management techniq…

These sites are owned by the same person and offer redundant information, cross linking to and from each other as well as false representation. The web cam page is not live and has been showing the same loop for the past 3 years(or more). It is clearly designed to increase page rank as is evidenced by the excessive crosslinking. Also related and involved in the crosslinking is the 3rd (last) URL below - though that one has not been listed (yet?). http://dmoz.org/Regional/North_America/Mexico/States/Oaxaca/Localities/Puerto_Escondido/Travel_and_Tourism/Travel_Guides/ http://www.puertoconnection.com/ http://dmoz.org/Regional/North_America/Mexico/States/Oaxaca/Localit…

Two months ago I requested an amendment to my website listing. I was emailed by an editor who sent me the following email.... Thanks for suggesting that we amend our listing of <removed> . I've taken a look at the website and I can quite see why an editor gave it the description that s/he did. There's no mention of qualifications and there is no address given - both pretty important when evaluating such a website's worth. I've temporarily removed it from our directory for deeper consideration. I have made the changes he suggested (address/qualifications) and I've tried contacting the editor several times to find out when my website will be re-listed…
