Application check

Hello -

Just wanted to check in on an application I've submitted under the name mr007, for the category http://www.dmoz.org/Business/Financial_Services/Insurance/Agents_and_Marketers/Health/Disability/. I do not recall the exact date of application but I believe it was in December of 2010.

I do not recall ever receiving an email from dmoz, which made me wonder if the application was ever actually received.

I understand that you are very busy and would greatly appreciate an update at your convenience.

Thanks

There was an application (117394) with that user name for that category on 2010-11-03 but it was declined on 2010-02-07 and you were sent an email to the address in your application. There is no record of any reviewer specific comments but the email would have included this list of common reasons.

• Incomplete application. Insufficient information has been provided in some fields including reason, affiliation and/or Sample URLs.
• Improper spelling and grammar.
• Sample URLs are inappropriate for the category which one has applied to edit. They may be too broad, too narrow, completely out of scope, poor quality, or in a language inappropriate for the category. All non-English sites are listed in the World category. Applications for World categories that include sites only in English will be denied. Likewise, applications for World categories that include sample URLs in languages other than the one appropriate for the applied category will be denied.
• Not properly disclosing affiliations with websites that are, or have the potential of being, listed in the category.
• Titles and descriptions of sample URLs (and other information provided) were subjective and promotional rather than unbiased and objective. ODP editors do not rank or write website reviews. ODP editors provide objective and unbiased descriptions of websites and their content.
• Self-Promotion. Application which leads us to believe that the candidate is interested primarily in promoting his/her own sites or those with which the applicant is affiliated. The ODP is not a marketing tool, and should not be used to circumvent the site submission process. If this is an applicant's motivation for joining, then we ask him/her not to apply. Editors found to be inappropriately promoting their own site will be promptly removed.

There hasn't been a subsequent application in that name or for that exact category.
