There's no need to tell us whenever you apply. Any meta editor or catmod interested in evaluating Recreation applications will see it in the pool anyway - and very few of them come to this forum.
By all means bump this thread in 14 days to ask for a status check.

I would like ask to "jimnoble". My quality of writing and choice of category has been reviewed and challenged. I have no complain about that. This two sites are listed in the below mentioned category. In those category the entire site should be in Bengali language. But there is no single Bengali font I found except title.Why those site were listed in that category? Are they appropriate? The sites are "http://farnar.com/" and "http://www.fenchugonj.info/". I can tell you so many sites listed in the inappropriate category of DMOZ. I have no objection that could not be a DMOZ editor. But try to keep the reputation of DMOZ.Also I have to say that a site may contain collection of such type of articles that may fall in the different category. At time of reviewing an application this word should be kept in mind.

Thank you for letting us know about those two sites -- I've removed them. In the future, we have a dedicated thread in the Quality Control forum for reporting those kinds of issues.
Mistakes are made. Sites change content over the years. That's why we invite people to report such issues when they find them.
Ok. However I am not satisfied with your answer, because so many times I have been rejected for some silly mistakes. The mistakes I have been made, can easily be ignored. This is why it is not tolerable to me that an English site is found in the Bengali language category. It is not a mistake. It has been done deliberately.
Please consider the motto of an application while reviewing an application. In the present application format there is no such method. Try to develop a form which can give you a clear understanding to understand the motto of an application.
Thanks.

There can only be one reason to become an editor: To help DMOZ grow in both quality and quantity.
Any such application will be accepted when it shows that the want to be editor can write a decent application and can apply the DMOZ guidelines.
You have been given several comments in this thread and all your rejected applications will have had reasons (certainly the list of standard reasons and possibly some specific comments). Being able to understand the reasons and comments can be seen as part of the application process. Solving the issues is something an editor must be able to do as it is much like the daily tasks he will encounter when being ane ditor.

I have no clue what you're saying here, and I can assure you that my English is native and fluent.
Both motsa and I have already told you that your English language skills, whilst good, aren't adequate to edit an English language category and the above bears that out.
My application has been rejected again. This time it is rejected for improper description. The editor says that my description looks like opinionated critiques or listing justifications. I was written the description to describe why I like those sites. Also I found in the comment that I have only one chance more. I am confused that how to write description. Is DMOZ decided not to approve me as an editor? Do not mind I am frustrated.

Why you like those sites is an opinion. And we do not accept such descriptions.
Look at http://www.dmoz.org/guidelines/describing.html how to write proper titles and descriptions.
Each time you made an application the form told you to read the guidelines and to write proper descriptions.
Sometimes people do apply many times without showing any imporvement in their applications. In such cases it can happen that meta editors ask him/her not to apply again. You have been given a lot of advise, both here and in the emails your received after the applicatiosn were rejected. If you are not able to understand that advise and the guidelines to produce a decent application it might be better not to become an editor. It is nothing personal. It is just that a person (in this case you) and DMOZ do not match.

pvgool was kind enough to point you at our editor guidelines, as several application reviewers have previously done. For your final attempt, be sure to actually read them first and also re-read the reviewer comments on your most recent applications.
So far, despite repeated advice, you've either chosen to ignore them or you didn't understand the advice. The latter could well be correct because motsa and I have previously told you that we don't think your English language skills are up to editing an English language category.
In either circumstance, it's a waste of your and our efforts to persist in this. That's why you've been given one last chance. Don't waste it

It is not that I do not respect your suggestions. But I am not finding suitable category in regional language for me.I am also not interested with those type of site. Practically I did not saw the guide line to become an editor. I have ignored that point. After the suggestion received from pvgool,http://www.dmoz.org/guidelines/describing.html, I find that there were some technical reason in my applications. Owning a site is a great disadvantage to become an editor. This is why I want to change my category of my another interest,DIY. Thus I can assure DMOZ that I do not want to promote my site. Would you like to comment on this post? I do not want to loose my last attempt. I do not want to dishonor DMOZ.

Declaring ownership of a website appropriate to a category isn't a bar to becoming an editor there.
You'll enjoy being an editor most if you choose a category that you're interested in. It is a hobby after all.
Whatever category you request, we're most impressed by integrity, good communications skills in the language of the category, appropriate examples and good guidelines compliant titles and descriptions.

Ok Jim. Thanks for your speedy reply. I am telling really and honestly that I want to help people. I was mistakenly written that I want to promote my site,in my first application as I did not read out the guide lines. So I determinate to change category. Please review my last application with........... I really spent at least 6 hrs. of time on the internet in a day. I want to utilize these time in the help of DMOZ. Please.

I did not look at your new application.
But did you again apply for an English language category?
If you did it will, to my opinion, most probably again be rejected as your skills in the English language are (as you have been told several times before) not good enough to become an editor for an English language category.
