Addresses.com Category Change

We are currently listed under http://dmoz.org/Arts/Celebrities/Addresses/ and the more appropriate category for us would be
http://dmoz.org/Reference/Directories/Address_and_Phone_Numbers/Email/

I have used the form on the dmoz.org website to request the change twice over the last 4-6 months.

If changed the title and description can be taken from the meta tags on our home page.

Thanks,
Michael Dean

The deeplink to the celebrity_email.php page on your site is listed appropriately in Arts/Celebrities. That page hardly qualifies for a Reference/Directories listing. Your multiple requests were processed, the local editor did not move the site, and did not comply with your requests to change the title and description, as the page is described perfectly well.

If you want Addresses.com considered for inclusion in the Reference category, you should submit your main URL there. NOT a deeplink, like the currently in unreviewed http://www.addresses.com/help_people.php is, but your main URL. Your main URL was deleted from unreviewed several times in various areas of the directory - we tend to list sites only once. Deeplinks to pages are the exception rather than the rule in the vast majority of ODP categories, so please don't submit any more deeplinks.

I am trying to remove the http://www.addresses.com/celebrity_email.php and have http://www.addresses.com in the email directories section which our website is based on. We are focused on being the world's largest email directory and not on celebrity and hollywood information. I was under the impression that the main page was submitted rather than a deeper link. Let me know what the best process is for getting this done or if you can help with the situation. The title/description is fairly generic for our website and should work for either category.

Thanks again,
Michael

If you're sure you want that link removed, that's fine - however, you could just submit http://addresses.com/ to http://dmoz.org/Reference/Directories/Address_and_Phone_Numbers/Email/ and wait patiently for it to be reviewed by the local editor (or those from a higher level, if no editor at that time). If you'd like, you can paste the URL to this thread in the description section, but delimit it with brackets from the rest of your description.

sounds good. I will leave the deeper link in since it represents unique content for that category. Yesterday I did submit Addresses.com to the email section. How long is the wait on that category currently?

If all the sites awaiting review are accepted into that category, the category will nearly treble in size (I only looked at the number, not the quality of the submissions). How long it will be before someone reviews all the sites there is anyones guess. Someone may decide to do it tomorrow, or it may be many months. Editors have no set pattern of editing, or workload requirement, they review what they want to do, and leave the rest in the queue. Sorry that I cannot be more specific [General Note: We don't treat this forum as an opportunity to 'jump the queue'. An editor will review all the sites there at the same, rather then go in just to clear one submission].
