It's all pretty simple actually:
- Read FAQ and General Advice at the top of this forum.
- Provide three good relevant examples with guidelines compliant titles and descriptions.
- Don't say anything silly such as 'I want to promote my forum and site'.
- Check your application for spelling and grammatical errors before submitting it.

I'm not going to re-evaluate your 'many' applications. On each occasion, you were sent general advice and sometimes specific advice too. If you follow my advice above and treat the application as seriously as you would a job application (which is what it is), you should be fine.
Thank you for your suggestion. But I have no option other than English. Because there is no option for Bengali.
Thanks.I shall try in Bengali if my pending application is rejected.

Yes. The sticky Forum Guidelines - READ BEFORE POSTING thread at the top of this forum tells you the info we need to answer application status questions and the earliest that you can ask them.
Actually I can't remember the exact the category I have applied for. I love Outdoor events such Hiking,Camping,Trekking etc. Last Date I have applied on 16th March'2011 and editor name opted rk1041.Thanks.

On 13 July 2011 you wrote "I have verified the link today."
Sounds to me that your last application was on July 13th. Just a few days ago.
Without the info requested (editor id, category and date) we will not be able to check if it is still waiting (unless one of us wants to spend a lot of time identifying which of many waiting application is yours).

It's just been declined and an email sent to you with specific comments.
I note that you had more than one application open at the same time. Editors are only permitted one account so applying for different categories under different names was a bad idea.

That's incorrect.

Thanks for your valuable suggestion and specific comments. I am going to apply in the Bengali language as promised here.
That is not a Bengali language category. Perhaps my earlier post was unclear. If you want to apply in Bengali and using Bengali sites, you have to apply for a category under http://www.dmoz.org/World/Bangla/, not for an English-language category.
If you haven't heard anything about that application 14 days from now, feel free to come back here to bump this thread and someone will check on the status of it for you. (We won't check before then.)
Well my application is rejected again. Here is the opinion of the reviewer. He wrote well. After many rejection with no specific comment I at least get an reviewer comment. Thanks for the comments.

Actually I was confused about the writing language of Bengali section as there is no system of writing in the DMOZ directory in Bengali fonts. However I quit my decision of applying in Bengali language category. My site have no commercial activity. I have opened this site to guide upcoming trekkers and to share knowledge of our experience. Thus I can help people. I have no intention to make sale through my website. I am not a business man. I do hold a Govt. service. I find interest in helping people. This is why I have opened that site.I do not think that my English knowledge is too bad to become a DMOZ editor.But all help is appreciated. Thanks a lot.
Any one want to help me to save me from this situation.

The category appears to use Bengali represented using Latin characters rather than the Bengali font.
Your English as shown by your posts here and your applications is really insufficient for editing an English language category.
If you are determined to only edit in an English category, then there really is no help anyone can give you. I would recommend that you suggest your site to the appropriate category and then just move on.

We can give you no more help.
An application must be done by you as we want to see who you are and what you can do.
Did you read the thread FAQ and General Advice
An application must be (these are only general comments)
- honest (who are you, what have you done in the past, why do you want to become editor, with which sites are you affiliated)
- complete (don't try to hide any of the above mentioned information, answer all questions)
- provide (preferably) 3 example websites that could be listed in the category (they should not be listed yet), and write decent titles and descriptions (we are not looking for perfection but if you do understand the guidelines)
- write an application with proper use of the language (spelling and grammar) - again we are not looking for perfection as we all sometimes make mistakes but it must be good - that is why we encourage people to start in their mother language and not in a foreign one
