Category transfer?

Hi there all -

I applied to become an editor of the "Pseudomynous Epistles" section of the Early Christian Writings category:
http://www.dmoz.org/Society/Religion_and_Spirituality/Christianity/Church_History/Early_Christian_Writings/Pseudonymous_Epistles/

However, I have actually made a number of submissions of texts to that particular section (and others) from a website I adminstrate over:
http://www.comparative-religion.com

specifically from the section:
http://www.comparative-religion.com/christianity/apocrypha/

I'm not sure if the submissions will invalidate my application for that particular area, so I would like to ask for advice, if I may:

Q/ Does having submitted pending material to a category invalidate application to said category, on the grounds of a perceived "conflict of interest", even where the sites/pages in question are non-commericial?

If so, should I perhaps ask for my application to be tranferred to another subcategory within the Early Christian Writings section? Or should I simply make a new application for a new category?

I have only submitted 1 text to the Gospel of Thomas category, but, again, would the submission invalidate my editorial application?
http://www.dmoz.org/Society/Religion_and_Spirituality/Christianity/Church_History/Early_Christian_Writings/Gospel_of_Thomas/

Or, perhaps, I should narrow it to a particular area I have not submitted to but is closely related? For example:
http://www.dmoz.org/Society/Religion_and_Spirituality/Christianity/Church_History/Early_Christian_Writings/Poetry/

I realise that to some my questions may seem a little strange, but I have read the guidelines that suggest that new editors should only apply for small categories. And Apocryphal Christian writings is a topic that particularly interests myself, hence why I'm applying to that specific section. Ideally, I would be interested in taking a much wider role in the religion category itself over time.

However, please appreciate that I would rather make a correct application, and am quite unsure as to whether a real "conflict of interest" may be perceived where an application is made for a section where self-submissions are already pending.

Best regards,

Brian

Generally, if you have disclosed your affiliations and the sites you suggest are actually appropriate for the target category, you shouldn't have a problem simply because some of the sites waiting for review are yours. In this case, you'll just have to wait and find out.

Thanks for the reply, lissa - and thanks for clarifying the "affiliation" issue. I've often wondered about that.
