This doesn't mean that we want all sites to be submitted twice, of course. /images/icons/crazy.gif Most sites will only be listed once, but there are exceptions. "Once in Regional/ and once somewhere else" (for sites with both a regional and topical aspect) is the most usual one. And it takes a lot more than a double submission to make us groan, write four-letter-words in the editor notes, and reach for "chainsaw delete". [where's that evil grin smiley?]

To start with the easy one, the site can be listed in Regional/North_America/United_States/New_York/Localities/C/Cooperstown/Business_and_Economy. In addition, it can be listed either in Sports/Cycling/Bike_Shops/North_America/United_States/New_York or in Shopping/Sports/Cycling (or possibly one of the subcategories), but not in both. According to the category description for ../Bike_Shops, that category is only for bike shop sites which do not provide online shopping, while the Shopping tree is only for sites which do provide online shopping. (See the Shopping FAQ for more info.) I'm not quite sure if the site has enough online shopping focus to fit in Shopping/. It has ordering by phone, which is sufficient (ref. Shopping FAQ 1), but I can only find prices for parts of the product range. Looking at the site, I can't find out how far they'll ship products either. To be listed in Shopping, an online shop must deliver to several countries, or to all of USA (ref. Shopping FAQ 1.3). Sorry I can't be clearer. Hopefully some editors with more Shopping/ experience will chip in here. /images/icons/smile.gif Hilde
