The last two are changed - welcome Dan20 and aktivist <img src="/images/icons/smile.gif" alt="" />

Re: Finally... but... If I was the editor of this category I probably wouldn't know what to do with an update request here and would probably delete it since some pages say The Racquetball Authority, some say rbauthority.com, and your mailing address says RBAuthority. Which is it? You really need to be clear or it's going to be left as is.

I did get rid of one 404 site, and I've asked a few editors who are more familiar with the UK categories to take a look at this category.

Re: Finally... but... It'll take as long as it takes <img src="/images/icons/smile.gif" alt="" /> But not to worry. If you request an update your current listing doesn't go away. So get working on those changes to your site to reflect the new title, and then submit your update request.

Your application is still in the queue. It's only been a little over a week, so you'll just have to be patient on this <img src="/images/icons/smile.gif" alt="" />

I'm not sure I understand what you're saying. I still see one of your sites listed. The other mirror site contains identical content, so there really isn't any reason to list it, is there?

Status changed <img src="/images/icons/smile.gif" alt="" />

Re: URL Rejected? I think that this question has been answered. See hutcheson's post: We know you won't like that, and we know that some of you have good reasons for preferring a different approach -- hey, some of the redirector-users are editors, too, and their side of the issue has been well-represented in our internal discussions -- but, sorry, we think we need to do it this way. And this has nothing to do with being a commerce site. All web sites and URLs are treated the same way regardless of the content of the site.

Although writing good descriptions on your application will definitely help your chances for being accepted, it's not the only thing on an application that we look at.

It's still hard to give you an answer based on only seeing the three web sites and descriptions. Remember that we accept or reject the application based on all of the information that you supplied in all of the fields. All I can say is that you make sure that you read all of the information in that other post I mentioned above, and read the Guidelines.

miratom, It's hard to comment on why you might have been rejected without having seen the application, but there are many reasons why an application may be rejected. Did you take a look at the first thread in this Becoming an Editor forum called FAQ and General Advice? There are some really good pointers in there about what you should know to become an editor. Was the category maybe too big for a new editor? Were your descriptions written according to the guidelines? Take a look at that thread and read some of the documents that are listed there. After reading some of that stuff you might get a better idea why you were rejected. It's not just about submitting good sites. You also have to be able to describe them properly as well. Hope that helps a bit <img src="/images/icons/smile.gif" alt="" />

I think you're just going to have to be patient on this one. Your update requests are still in the queue with a lot of other sites that need reviewing.

I added the Adult forum when I changed you to Editor <img src="/images/icons/smile.gif" alt="" />

You're good to go <img src="/images/icons/smile.gif" alt="" />

Re: Still Struggling with the application process Congrats stuntdubl!! It was a long process but now you can finally get to work on Frankenmuth. I guess we'll be seeing you over in the internal editor forums now <img src="/images/icons/smile.gif" alt="" />

All done <img src="/images/icons/smile.gif" alt="" />

I can't comment on what will happen on Google, but the sites should be re-listed on ODP in their new home in about a week if all goes well.

The category may be gone, but the sites are not. They're just being moved to a more appropriate location. At this point I can't tell you where as this is currently under discussion.

Sure. You're now an editor <img src="/images/icons/smile.gif" alt="" />

Um, actually either cue or queue is just fine <img src="/images/icons/smile.gif" alt="" />

Re: Still Struggling with the application process Still no application in the queue for Frankenmuth. If you didn't recieve that confirmation email, then the app won't be in the queue. If you're using a Hotmail or Yahoo type email account to apply from, and you've got their spam filters turned on, you might want to check in your bulk mail folder. I find that those spam filters on Hotmail and Yahoo sometimes forward legitimate emails into the bulk mail folder and you never see it in your inbox.
