2 sites have been deleted due to server problems?

Hallo everyone,
Last month two of my site were deleted by dmoz.

One site was our English Chinese Dictionary and the other one our Malaysian travel guide.

Both sites have been on for about one year. We faced last month a problem with our dns server and moved our site to a dedicated server. Our site was down for almost 10 days.

Could that be the reason why our two sites was removed from Dmoz?

The strange thing is that we still have two links in dmoz at Computers/Internet/Searching/Directories/Open_Directory_Project/Sites_Using_ODP_Data/A/

Any way I have resubmitted the links and will wait as long it takes to have the 2 links one day back in Dmoz.

Take care and best regards
Wolfgang

Hello, As you have not indicated the URL for the sites in question it is difficult to check the reason for their removal. I was able to see that the Malaysia travel site was removed in February of this year.

Thank you for the heads up about the accidental double-listing in Sites_Using_ODP_Data/A/ ! I'm sure some editor in that part of the directory will take care of it as soon as possible.

Dear nea,
Thanks for your message
The url link for the Chinese dictionary was www.asinah.net/chinese.html

In regards of the double listing, please be so kind to remove www.asinah.net/web-directory and not www.asinah.net/web-directory/odp.database as we get many crawler attempts from many unknown search engines or content grabber for the first link.

Why the Malaysia listing was removed I do not understand as we are the only site with this travel content. Any way, no problem, I guess your editor must have got a reason.

nea,
forgot to mention the site also runs an ODP feed without credits back to your site. When I was the webmaster for sino.net I always linked back to dmoz incl. the table for apply as an editor etc.
