Well, I won't give up trying to become an editor. One of these times i will get accepted.

Who are the people that check applications for becoming an editor? Is it the same person every time? Can i request someone else to review my application? I have a wierd feeling somone is not being honest while reviewing my applications...

Okay, my 8th submission to be an editor over 3 years has been rejected (maybe some teen who became an editor likes pressing the "reject" button?). The category has not had an editor for over a year now. I double checked spelling, completeness, everything. I provided many useful wrestling shopping sites to be added if I become an editor. Am I missing something? I am a web developer and have a plethora of websites I have created, which I would suppose would tell the reviewer of my application that I spend alot of time on the Internet and forums such as this one. Every single application I try something new, and am more concise and professional in my application. I am sure most people do not spend as much time as I do on the applications which adds to my frustration and confusion. I really don't see how I wouldn't be a valid candidate for this or any category. I was a high school wrestler and know much about the sport and am very interested in it still today. What more do I have to do to become an editor? I thought i had the bases covered. The previous editor that used to be assigned to the category actually hasn't added anything since the I have submitted my site. So I would imagine this category needs a little help. Through other posts by moderators it seems like there is more than one site waiting for a review. I would be more than willing to review these sites, in fact, I would be delighted to. My 8 tries to be an editor would explain that. I guess if some people do not appreciate my long-term efforts to become an editor. I would request that some related editor or another editor with a good heart could sift through this section and review some of the sites that are there including mine. I doubt any one else is going to try to be an editor for this category. And, well, it looks like i will never be an editor the way things are going...so the only way to help these sites would be for another person to step in. That is what I am requesting. I am sure many of those sites have been there well over a year because of a post a year ago (in this thread) stating that there were more sites in the section. Thank you. Happy new year to all. *** Edit *** I see you have increased the "site status" time to more than 6 months. I agree with you on this measure. Please, do not regard this as a "status update". I don't want a status update because I already know the status and know that it hasn't changed. I am simply asking for some input on the situation. I have sifted through the threads and realized that this thread is one of the old dinosaurs of the forum that is still active for a long period of time and the most posts. This thread started on the OLD forums DMOZ had 2 years ago. You can see that from some of the old posts. Anyways, I just want someone to give me some tips or help me out. I really want to be an editor to fix this situation, but I guess that isn't an option for this case now.

This submission is pushing 2 years now. Status check please?

It is obvious that this category needs an editor. I have tried 6 times over the past year, and have not been accepted any of the times. I do not have a doubt in my mind that adding this site would take less than 5 seconds. It very apparent about what it is. have a look for yourself. http://www.worldsoldestsport.com

I submitted http://www.worldsoldestsport.com a year and a half ago. Is it still in a que? Has it been reviewed yet? Thanks for the update.

I have submitted and application 3 times already... all of the times being rejected for that very category. :o

Hello, have you gotten an active editor yet in that category? I think the problem is that people think that editor is active, but i have been #1 on the que for 10 months. It would not take very long to review one site, could someone in the wrestling section or other section get to it? thank you

Hello, any progress on the listing?

Ok, good point kokopeli, but if i am the ONLY one in the que and he hasnt checked it in 4 months, do you think he is inactive? If other editors have access to this category, can someone place me in a que for another editor who does have access to this category? You could put me in a que for the editor or somthing. I dont care if the list is 100 people long. I just want some hope of it getting reviewed. If i am the only person in the que and on the top of the list with no responce from the editor, i feal a little hopeless. But if i am in a list of people 100 long, and i keep on moving up and up, i have some hope of it getting reviewed. Please understand my situation. I am not urging that this be done quickly, i am just urging somthing could be done so i have some hope of it getting reviewed within this YEAR. Thank you very much. **edit** another point i would like to make is based on what giz said. He said someone would "eventually" get to it. I would really like it if i could be in a que for someone "eventually getting to it" so i have some track of a time estimation i can make for myself. My client is really pushing me to find answers so i really do not know what to do. He finds "evenutally" an unacceptable answer. **end edit** -Daniel

I e-mailed the editor of the category a month ago with some questions about his section, and he never replied back. It seems he is inactive? Is their any possible way i could be reviewed by another editor in the http://www.dmoz.org/Shopping/Sports section or the http://www.dmoz.org/Sports/Wrestling/ section or put in some other que. Could you act as if the http://dmoz.org/Shopping/Sports/Wrestling/ section didn't have an editor and do what you normaly do if a section does not have an editor? The only reason i am a little antsy is because it seems to me that the editor is inactive, if he were reviewing the site and it took this long and i was getting some sort of update, i wouldn't mind. If this takes another month or three i dont care, i just feel that that category is a "lost cause" for waiting on it. Thank you very much. -Daniel

Could someone please respond, thank you.

He obviously hasn't logged in for a while. Is it possible for one of the sports editors to review my site? It is the only one in the waiting list. Thank you. If the editor is looking at it right now, i appologize. But if the editor has been inactive for a while it may take a while for him to log in again. Thank you

If i am all by my lonesome in a que, can an editor review it soon?

How do i check my log file for my account...if im all by my lonesome in the que, i would like to check the status of my site being reviewed, thank you.

Alright, thank you for your info.

sorry about that. If it is too much to ask could i please ask how many people are in the list? If you dont want to answer thats fine...im waiting but i just want to get some idea.

Hello, i would just want to know the status of www.worldsoldestsport.com it is submitted under http://dmoz.org/Shopping/Sports/Wrestling/ Thanks for checking, Dan
